why don't they change the story? Banner decides he's too dangerous and sends himself out in to space. Then he lands on the evil planet, hulks out, and since there's nothing to calm him down, and poo poo keeps making him angry, he stays hulked out. Over the course of the movie you see the development of the separate Hulk personality. You understand both Banner's motivations, and Hulk's anger at what he did

That way, none of the superheores have to be the bad guy.

Banner and Hulk haven't been established as separate entities nearly enough for this to work, but I will admit that that it's an elegant way around that particular plot hole.

That can be established through the movie, Even start it with Banner waking up from a nightmare where he can't un-Hulk. Or, even better, have the message from Fury and Stark play like it did in the comic, but at the end, have it pull to the side and have Banner at the recording session thanking them for helping and saying "Here's to hoping we don't have to use it"


Then you can do a World War Hulk Avengers flick where he rampages where Black Widow and Thor refuse to get involved because the way they see it, the Avengers did it to them selves, but have it end when Hulk loses control and starts to destroy NY/LA/SF/Wherever and Thor fights with him until Widow and Scarlet Witch can use the lullaby to kick him back to Bruce

A movie that wants to be Space Gladiator doesn't have the time to establish something like that. They would have to devote at least half a movie only to establish that Hulk is dangerous enough to be shot into space, and that Tony Stark would care enough to do it to his science bro.


And about World War Hulk, who would be there to oppose Hulk? I thought the fun about WWH was to see Hulk fight and subsequently own everyone in the Marvel Universe, if you'd translate that to the MCU it would be an awfully short movie.

Nah, waste 30 minutes with people getting ready for Hulk, discussions where you see where different people stand on it, like have Vision and Cap side with Tony, not because they agree but because it's a real threat, Thor is pissed at them for going all Loki on him while Widow misses her friend and Hawkeye just doesn;t see the point in a guy with a bow and arrow fighting Hulk. then have a 30 minute action sequence where he tears up SHIELD HQ, busts up a few Hulk buster armors, have Ant-Man and Wasp get knocked out, Vision get thrashed, etc. Then have him use the rubble and his alien buddies to build a stadium for the gladiatorial combat between heroes. Have Captain America even hold his ground for a minute before getting dropped, the whole time you have Widow and Thor just watching it going "gently caress those guys they made their bed on this one", but the whole time have Hulk get more and more unhinged until he starts destroying the rest of the city and it's stranded populace after 2 captured heroes refuse to finish each other in his stadium. So they finally have to step in, then you get a pretty bitchin DBZ-esque brawl for a long chunk, go full on Michael Bay meets Chow Yun Fat with it, then when Thor is exhausted and can't stand, have Scarlet Witch and Widow come up, pull a fast one and manage to un-Hulk him.

Its an easy formula, lots of action beats, pretty standard to the summer action epic genre

True, but it's not hard to throw a bunch of SHIELD poo poo at him, like fighter jets, special armors, robots/etc that could easily be made in to toys for the marketing guys to push.

This is hy Banner deciding to do it himself makes way more sense, IMO.

That just sounds like your regular old Hulk movie. I think they need to make one of those before they add a plotline about how this time he is on a rampage because they shot him into space and then after he found peace on an alien planet by killing the local dictator and marrying a princes or whatever and the spaceship he landed in exploded and destroyed his happy place because the people who shot him into space are morons and this time it's personal.

There is just nothing in the current MCU that justifies either Planet Hulk or World War Hulk. Maybe in Phase 7.

Oh, I see where you're coming from. Yeah, I agree that there's nothing going on pre-Infinity War to have Hulk even have his own movie. But Maybe they end Infinity War with leaving Hulk behind or he gets blown out of the spaceship on the way back to Earth after fighting Thanos and *bam* it all starts to fit
