Endgame Directors CONFIRM Why Hulk's Arm Didn't Heal 

Savage Hulk would probably RIP off the old arm and grow a new one

Hulk was nerfed for the MCU. He got pieced up by Thanos without the stones and can't heal when he has a healing factor so strong it makes him seem bullet proof. Comic hulk healed near instantly after having his skin and muscle flayed leaving him a grotesque skeleton. However, Hulk gets stronger the angrier he gets. Maybe Banner Hulk made him weak because he isn't angry anymore.

"We got the STRONGEST Marvel character? Cool now how do we turn him the biggest bitch" that's a quote somewhere not documented... Hulk and Banner becoming one was already character development they're just playing his name

honestly, the hulk having a permanent injury is kinda bunk he has gone through things in comics that left him as little more than a stripped skeleton and grew back from it

The hulk never has permanent damage. They messed up the character of the hulk completely. They always have to mess up some of the best comic book characters.

#HEALHULK

If you notice between the iterations of the Hulk, throughout the MCU's cinematic universe, his mass changes. He goes from a huge savage behemoth that equals the rage he feels within; to Endgame's more intellectual man sized Hulk who has Dr. Banner's calling the shots. To me, it seems there's a direct cause and effect within these versions. I believe if he is somehow antagonized and or grieved enough to express an overwhelming sense of rage, then the awakening of Savage Hulk will once again be at his full strength and size, which in turn should heal his arm completely. But any healing of his arm cannot happen while Dr. Banner has control over both his emotional and intellectual sides.

Hulks entire bodymass was evaporated by Vector and he regenerated it in a few seconds

Listening to the Russo’s reason and ideas for hulks arm just enrages me as a hulk fan. We shouldn’t let the guys who ruined the hulk the most dictate his future by having his arm permanently damaged and irreversible. Banner should just hulk out and that’s how he heals !

I just want Hulk Vs Abomination Round 2 so please I beg…HEAL IS BLOODY ARM!

Considering hulk absorbs gamma rays and the stones emit that signature his arm should never been in danger. Dang Russos! Thanos has no healing factor hulk does.

I want them to start a new hulk movie but in the beginning they raid a hidden hydra bunker then Bucky or winter soldier helps Bruce amputate his arm then they give him a expandable metal arm

They’re trying hard to ruin the hulk

They need to read a comic book! There is no limit to Hulk's strength or what he can come back from!

So I have been thinking about a few ways his arm can heal that could be in the realm of possibility 1:Dr. Cho regen tank like they had in the age of Ultron 2:Dr.Strange access to dark magic. 3:Shurri access to vibranium like they used to heal the colonel. 4: Gamma testing again.

Hulk was decapitated before in one of the comics and he regenerated. I imagine if the writers are consistent hulk’s burns would just heal overtime and hope that fans will conveniently not question. Lol

By the time we get to Endgame Bruce and Hulk are closer to being one individual. I believe that the snap equally affected both of them make Hulk incapable of healing it upon transforming. The infinity stones are immensely more powerful than a bullet or a really high fall. It'll probably take another dose of gamma radiation to do any kind of healing to Hulk thus in turn Bruce.

It actually did because it showed him in shang chi unharmed

Red hulk emerges set both Banner and Green Hulk straight

Maybe Wakanda could help. Bucky Barnes received such a replacement. But an amputation is an extreme solution to a severe arm injury.

Mr Fixit can fix it It’s time to bring THE GREY HULK to the MCU

Hulk should be able to heal from anything. They nerfed Hulk too much.

This is just BS. The Russo Brothers created the best movies in the MCU, but they don't know shit about Hulk. The Hulk is super underpowered and doesn't correctly capture the true Hulk. This is disappointing, as Hulk and Wolverine are my two favorite heroes.

It better heal, I want another solo film.

Never liked that the stones burned his arm. If they were emitting gamma, why didnt they super charge him for a minute and turn him into world breaker?

They really just did him dirty due to the rights issue with hulk. I'm sure they knew or had some idea how good his healing factor was/is. So they haven't really used him anywhere near his potential.

The stones are gamma radiation! That would have overpowered him not hurt him. Any gamma radiation that he was around in comics made him STRONGER!

Way to ruin the “strongest” most “unstoppable force of nature” if they keep his injuries permanent

Russos did a good job with every character but the Hulk and their comments on this issue just further proves the fans right they don't know how to Hulk the Hulk. His power is nerfed already by the MCU but now they want to make their mistakes permanent na'll give us Hulk right. Shit he lost Black Widow that's a big enough permanent scar. Smfh

His arms needs to heal. The Hulk's massive regenerative ability is a huge part of his character, in the same way it is for Wolverine. Having the Hulk perpetually incapacitated completely mutes the point of his character as an unstoppable force of nature, or as "the strongest one there is". I like the theory that Professor Hulk was nullifying the Hulk's true powers, hence why he was overall weaker in many aspects in Endgame (this also aligns with the comics). But that when the Savage persona resurfaces, the arm wondrously heals and we have our Big Green Goliath back in action.

its totally bs how badly nerfed his character, the hulk is supposed to be able to regenerate more powerfully than anyone and be able to just keep fighting the endgame hulk ruined the mcu version

I mean the thing is, in the Shang-Chi post-credits, while his arm is in a sling, the arm itself (from what could be seen) looked mostly fine, so it is still likely healing, it's just taking a lot longer. Hopefully, he'll be back to his former glory soon. EDIT: can y’all stop arguing in the replies? I wanted to voice my opinion, that doesn’t give y’all the right to crucify me or anyone else.

They already nerfed the hulk REALLY MUCH, the least they can do is let him be able to heal his arm

I hope hulking out to the rage monster heals his arm, like how he spat out the bullet as Bruce described in Avengers 1.

The Russos need to read Hulk comics. The Hulks strength and healing factor is what makes the Hulk so powerful. How can he tangle with Wolverine without a healing factor. If they make that movie, trust me it will suck without his strength and healing factor. The Hulk we be the Fox cyclops of the MCU. A punching bag for other characters. MCU need to fix the Hulk, get it right man, or don’t do it.

Bruh, he can survive being cut in many pieces and he can’t heal an arm caused by a huge amount of gamma which Gamma gives him devil power like wtf is this

I definitely would like his arm to be healed! Especially because I feel like we should have gotten at least one more movie starring the (current) Hulk where he goes beast mode the entire movie.

Literally doesn’t make any sense for it to be permanent. It’s hulk. He should be able to heal

Thats so stupid if it’s permanent! It literally doesn’t make sense especially with how they portray his healing factor in the comics! I hope they don’t go with what they are saying because a lot of fans will be upset.

I heard that it is healing just not as fast as if he was burned. Since both the stones and Hulk produce Gamma radiation it would make sense that he isn't healing as fast but is still healing.

The answer is very simple… It’s because they don’t give a f*ck abt him… 😤😤😤

Because the Russo Brothers know f-all about how to handle the Hulk.

hulk is the one character in the MCU i thought was always done dirty. hes so damn misused ALL the time, especially in infinity war and endgame. The fact we only saw him fist fight thanos once and it went the way it did is just sad. no retribution in endgame or anything. in fact, i cant recall him doing shit during the endgame final battle. hes massively powerful and just always sidelined or very misused :/

Doesn't explain why he's so weak.

HULK ALWAYS heal after time if he gets mad enough he will heal will heal mostly in fight not going his way simple!!!!!

As long as banner remains in control he should have to carry the burden of the injury. When Hulk finally emerges or he truly comes to terms with accepting the hulk as a part of him instead of something he needs to control, then he should be allowed to heal.

Because the writers were determined to destroy the Hulk.

The Russo's F'd over the hulk in every way possible. They must have hated him as kids!

Mcu hulk is buns and nerfed beyond belief smh i hate what they've done to my fav hero.

I just want the old Hulk back with a newly healed arm, ready to smash

I want more hulk 😭

They better fix that god dam arm.

Real answer: “Sony hasn’t given up enough rights to keep hulk relevant, so we’re gonna NERF him till the character makes profit”

Im actually quite pissed how they treated Hulk. Some things should stay more comic book accurate. really hope someone will fix this mess up and we'll get world breaker to compensate for the lost time with the Hulk.

Technically the hulk can regenerate his whole body, in a comic he regenerates his whole body from the skeleton and not only that, many times to come back to life from death it's like creating a new body (it's not easy to explain) if cut the arm can regenerate it and I don't know why they show a permanent injury on the hulk because literally nothing can do this on the hulk, the hulk is not like a human or a mortal character, he has the most powerful healing factor in the marvel universe and okay that is so in the comics but diminishing the potential of the character in this way is ridiculous and annoying, already we will never be able to see another movie about the hulk in the mcu then they make him a comic shoulder turning him into a flat character (when in reality the hulk is one of the best characters ever conceived in the history of comics, in fact I warmly invite anyone to recover the oldest narrative arcs of peter david on the hulk and the most recent ones of al ewing with immortal hulk because they are giants of marvel) and not only that, they also make him weak ... In the comics it is repeated several times that if the hulk were not held in check by banners it would be the end of everything and for this reason anyone in the comics at least a little fears him, (this is because the more the hulk gets angry, the more he enhances all his abilities and without any limits and the "savage hulk" is a concentrate of anger that cannot be consumed as it is literally anger made in flesh and blood, if anything it can only be powered or managed by banner) the MCU hulk is ridiculous, it can't even heal from such "ridiculous" damage (for a mortal being it's not but for a character like the hulk it shouldn't be anything serious)

Hulk's healing factor doesn't just "rival" Wolverine's or Deadpool's. It is far stronger. Hulk's healing factor is the most powerful in the Marvel Universe by a long margin.

I just thought about something hear me out it would have been better to have Thor do the snap. The reason is because one he could've survived it and two it would of been way better for him because one he loses his arm in the comics currently and has a arm made out of uru metal so it would have slightly more comic accurate compare to the hulk having a mess up arm doesn't sit well with alot of people plus it would have been a great way for Thor to redeem himself my opinion tho

I love the Infinity Saga. But the Hulk has YET to be "Avenged" due to the damage cause by previous writers/studios.

Man that’s bullshit…. I wish just one network or Movie studio can portrait the hulk right… HES AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE GREATER THAN NATURE!!!!! And that makeS HIM A VERY DANGEROUS PERSON!!! (Gene Hackman: The Replacements)

This hulk is so pathetic...infact it isn't even a hulk. No time I'm comics has banner ever taken over some form of the hulk...and be so weak. He still has a hurtie arm 😁

I feel like the writers didn't read comics.

I want them to heal his arm nobody wants to see the super strong indestructible hulk injured plus it always bothered my how the thing was emitting gamma radiation but he was still hurt you would think he would have either got supercharged or he would have healed quicker.

Professor hulk will be pushed to a breaking point. Banner will feel the Hulk personality start to fluster, the hurt arm 'glows' and regrows to full again. Banner "hulk no!...*pained groans* Hulk....hulk...no...HUUULLK" *VOICE TRANSITIONS BETWEEN BANNER AND HULKS VOICE* *BEFORE FINALLY BECOMING A CLEAR HULK GROWL* "HULK....SMAAAASH" edit: or something we haven't heard and my personal favorite "Hulk is strongest there is!!"

The Hulk is supposed to get stronger the angrier he gets. There is no stated upper limits of his strength and durability. Him being permanently damaged is not the Hulk at all.

I think Hulk will have his arm healed through Hulk transforming or taking control of his body.

I think that is pure bullshit, hpw the cpuld do that to a character like hulk? Is like taking the essense of the Hulk, they are not the owners of the character to say that they are gping to make it permanent, I hope he will get is arm back

What they did to the HULK in endgame is disrespectful, period.

They need to stop emasculating the Hulk…he has been way too soft throughout the Avenger series

I believe they'll have Doctor strange one time on his arm to bring it back like he did the apple,and new york in his first movie

Well one of Hulk's strongest powers is that he can't be influenced or possessed by magic and they ignored that one. So ignoring his healing factor is right in line with them ruining his character.

But nah, he’s the Hulk… 🤷🏾‍♂️ he does not get damaged… but if he has to … then he always heals…. Like cmon with that deep mental depression state bullshit… He’s a green super powered giant rage monster…🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

This hulk sucks.. past movies of hulk he was way stronger

Endgame was trash, for so many reasons. This is just one of the main ones.

I'm guessing he will try to heal himself with more/new serum and some gamma treatment, which will go wrong and he becomes more hulky. Maestro or whatever.

Banner just needs to get VERY angry.. The gamma radiation/healing factor will then kick in.. IT BETTER! I’m tired of how nerfed the hulk is in the MCU.. Thanos easily punked his ass in infinity war, Without using the stones.. BS!

Its all because of the rights issue, they were trying to trash the character so people wouldn't really like him and they would be able to save themselves money. Logical business choice, but very sad for TRUE fans of the comics to see the character devolve so much. 😔

he Hulk has he most resilient adaptive fastest healing factor in Marvel comics ergo he BETTER heal in he MCU NO EXCUSES!!!

They really dropped the ball with the hulk.

I'm done with marvel. Idc about gods like Thor and Capt Marvel. Even cap America had a permanent hulked out form and he was Mr perfect. I'm aged out of the new spiderman lore, idc. The new Hawkeye idc abo. I'll just wait for the Hourman movie from DC. That'll be my limited power up hero. And he was the first scientist to make a serum to power himself up, albeit for 1 hour. Fuck Hulk. Thanks MCU.

Sounds like they are trying their hardest to write out a fan favorite, the hulk is being disrespected by Disney.

"rivals deadpool and wolverines healing factor" bud, the hulks healing factor is the single strongest in comics. he doesnt need 1 drop of blood, hes an energy based being pretty much. and he can regen in seconds... so long as the one below all exists, hulk will exist. and so long as the one above all exist, the one below must.

I think the answer is “Russo brothers don’t get any charachters except Cap, who they love.”

I hope the arm heals I don't like it being permanent it takes away what the hulk is it would be fine if the arm heals but it's still scard then the hulk is still strong but just has scars as a reminder not to give up

The interviews you're quoting are OLD NEWS from after Endgame. The Russos and Markus & McFeely treated the Hulk like shit. They no longer have any say over the characters. We had no promised story arc to replace a solo film on screen. Marvel failed the characters, Ruffalo, and the fans. In Shang-Chi, Banner looked like the arm was at least 90% recovered. The sling was the only indicator something had happened. If the next writer wants it completely healed, it will be. He's not "The Winter Hulk." We don't need that. What we do need is for Marvel to buy the distribution rights back from Universal and hire a creative team that really gives a damn about the characters.

Marvel/Disney needs to understand that people watch movies to escape reality. Nobody wants to hear leftist political views, nobody wants to see hero's permanently fucked up, nobody wants to see a covid scare in movies. Entertaining movies, that's what you should focus on.

This brings new meaning to the term "broken character". They better say it's a mental block or something, causing him to limit/not heal himself because of grief. We still don't know what hulk or Bruce saw after the resurrectuon snap.

I think it would fit character if savage hulk comes out for a fight, Gets mad at the arm or the fight or both. Gets angrier and angrier making him strong and stronger until in the critical moment (like every comic book character) He gets so angry it heals, or even better but less pg13 (so maybe in a deadpool movie cameo) He rips it off beats the other guy to death looks over at his missing arm and screams at it till it grows back.

I'd much rather his arm heal. He was incredibly nerfed throughout the MCU.

In the comics Hulk healed his whole body when Vector blew off all his skin and muscle and they are saying this little injury is permanent. Just shows you the MCU is complete garbage. They want to over power "certain " characters (Captain Marvel), and destroy the real power houses like the Hulk .

Man they have riuned this character. My favorite character and made him a jobber so our characters may look stronger .. now they take away healinging factor, intensity .anger strength without limit .. and put capt marvel ahead of him. Mcu. Fucking shit up

I want it to be healed, because they haven’t shown much if anything on his healing factor

Fellow hulk fans just do as I did and give up on MCU Hulk, he ain’t cannon, he don’t count, he don’t exist and he’s canceled!!

I think it would be more interesting if he had to live with the injury, having it heal takes away from the impact of the snap. When it’s permanently damaged you can visually see all he sacrificed to bring everyone back.

If they cannot bring back iron Man AKA Tony Stark /HealThe Incredible Hulk's Arm 💪 especially for the next MCU threats to come.

How is Tony's sacrifice ultimate but not black widows. Not a a feminist or anything but her death and his why is one ultimate?

Bruce says he's the best choice for the glove since it seems to work off Gama. If that's true then how would the hulk not heal? He's gama.

The reasoning behind why his arm didn’t heal is so dumb. Hulk is a gamma reactor but gamma energy hurts him? That like saying water will hurt aquaman. It’s just burned so it should have healed.

i think him turning into hulk is going to heal it, he has healing factors similar to wolverine and atm of his arm being damaged Bruce was in control not Hulk

Yeahhh if the arm thing is permanent, i’m not feeling it. The Incredible Hulk’s invulnerability & strength are two things he’s known for.

seems to me that every time Banner turns into Hulk, he is healed, so it would be natural that way
