She-Hulk gives us the answer to a big question: why did Bruce Banner return to his human form? We tell you everything that the first episode revealed Here!
One of the most anticipated series by fans of Marvel is finally among us: she hulk. Although the series follows the life of Jennifer Waltersthe cousin of Bruce Bannerthe first episode revealed a lot of information about the character that we have known for more than 10 years: Hulk. One of the facts he revealed was the reason why Bruce Banner left its shape smart hulkquestion that fans of the MCU were being made after the character’s cameo in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
One of the central elements of Bruce Banner that we met in MCU it is that he is always in internal conflict with his two personalities. On the one hand, we have one of the most intelligent scientists in the world. On the other, we have a monster that reacts based on anger and does not have very logical thoughts. Bruce he doesn’t like his green version very much since he can’t control it once it comes out.
During several movies we saw how Bruce Y Hulk they had problems. After Avengers: Age of Ultronfor instance, Hulk takes control of Bruce’s body for several years and flees to a planet. And it didn’t take us long to find out which planet it is, since in Thor: Ragnarök we meet again Hulk. After Thor get that Bruce take control again, we have a battle that makes Hulk feel insecure.
At the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos manages to overcome it and this hurts the monster’s ego a bit. Throughout this installment, we see how Bruce asks Hulk let him out because he needs it to beat Thanos, but his alter ego doesn’t want to. And it’s not until Avengers: Endgame we know the version of Hulk that we thought was going to stay in the MCU for quite some time: smart hulk.
In the words of Bruceour scientist put together “brain and strength” to get “The best of both worlds”. This means that she was left with the intelligence of Bruce and with the force of Hulk to create this new version of himself, which accepts a little more. And he even becomes the one in charge of using the infinity gems so that half of the population returns.
However, having made the snap left sequels in our beloved Bruce. Although his body exposed to the gamma rays withstood the impact of the gems quite well, he was left with an injured arm. And the last time we see him in this movie, he’s still Hulk only with his arm in a sling.
But it seems that the desire to Bruce to stay as its green version did not last long. In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings we see again Bruce still with the injured arm. But the big surprise for many fans was that he was not the smart hulk, but returned to his human version. And in she hulkwe see a Bruce completely healed as well as our dear Hulk intelligent, who was also cured.
The big question that fans asked themselves when they saw in the trailer that the character was cured is how was it possible? And they didn’t have to wait long to find out the answer since in the first episode of the series we were able to discover how it is that Bruce healed so quickly, considering how little time lapsed between the series and Shang Chi.
In she hulk we discovered that Bruce did not want to stay in the body of Hulk after getting hurt. This was because the bruises left by the gems were never going to heal and a Hulk with one arm it was pretty useless. Although it seems that the arm that was never going to heal did not last very long. In the series we discover that Bruce worked on inhibitors that would revert to smart hulk to his human version for some unclear reason.
I created the inhibitor to put it on the arm as if it were a bracelet and with the device he could have a normal life, only being human. It is not very well known what technology was used, but it is known that Bruce Banner came back after he created this device that suppressed his alter ego. And with this little device, the scientist managed to reverse the years of work that he spent after Thanos beat him.
Thanks to she hulk we also discover that the change is not permanent. Bruce Banner he’s human for a short time and if we want to be specific, he’s human long enough to save his cousin. Once the scientist discovers that the DNA of she hulk can heal arm smart hulk, take advantage of this discovery and heal. That this version of the scientist has returned is interesting, because you can explore much more of the character. However, it is a bit disappointing that we are not going to see more than Bruce Banner human. Or at least, that is what is implied.
Many believe that Marvel He doesn’t really know what to do with the character. The appearance of smart hulk it was quite interesting and surprising; and many wanted it to be developed a little more. But the fact of having hurt the version, making him return to being human and then return to his green version shows that the studio did not think much about the future of Bruce Banner. And all the changes make people not understand what is Bruce really want.
But what disappoints fans the most is that we will not be able to see the conflicts between the two personalities of Bruce, something that was always interesting and never developed much. Fans may feel this because we couldn’t enjoy a movie or series focused on the character, so we don’t know him as deeply as he does. Tony Stark either Thor.
But quietly this can change in the next episodes of she hulkwhere perhaps we will see a bit of development of Hulk. Also, it is rumored that there will be a movie titled world war hulkwhich would have as protagonist Bruce Banner. And if this happens, you can explore the feelings, thoughts and internal conflict of this smart hulk which you surely have. But to know more about Hulkwe can wait for the next chapters of she hulk that will arrive every Thursday at DisneyPlus.
