Ever since Hulk made his way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character’s portrayal and representation have been shrouded with issues and problems. According to several Marvel fans, while Mark Ruffalo’s portrayal is exemplary, MCU’s Hulk is far from his comic book iteration. Not only do many find MCU’s Hulk devoid of the real rage depicted in the comics, but they feel Hulk as a character has not got enough screen time.
While the character has been somewhat well-developed, much of his development has been behind the screen, making fans complain more and more. And just one scene from Eric Bana’sHulkis enough to justify how Marvel Studios failed their fans and Hulk.
Eric Bana’sHulkExplains Why Marvel Studios Failed Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk
Eric Bana‘s 2003 movieHulkis undoubtedly one of the best Hulk movies ever to have been made. From the actor’s portrayal to Hulk’s portrayal, the movie seems to perfectly capture the true essence of the Green Goliath. Not only do certain moments in the film bring the true comic Hulk on the big screen but Bana’s conflicting portrayal also captures the true personality of Bruce Banner. Furthermore, the film’s exploration of Bruce’s traumatic childhood added layers to his character, making his transformation into the Hulk more poignant.
When compared to theMarvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Hulk, Bana’s version is more formidable. WhileMark Ruffalo‘s version does fit perfectly with the overall tone of the MCU and is as authentic as it can be, it is missing the true charm of both Banner and his green problem. While the MCU’s Hulk fits its broader tone, it often misses the darker, more conflicted aspects of the character that Bana’s version captured so well.
10 Reasons Comic Book Fans Hate The MCU Hulk
Part of the reason why is the lack of exposure Banner and Hulk have received in the MCU. While the lack of exposure is because of MCU not having any solo Hulk movie, Marvel fans reckon they could have still gotten to incorporate proper character development of the character via their existing movies and series. Bana’sHulk, a solo film, not only showcases how Hulk and Banner eventually become one but also captures the vital inner battle Bruce Banner often has with hismonster problem, which is a necessary part of the Hulk mythos.
And one scene from Bana’sHulkmovie proves why it was vital for the MCU to feature Mark Ruffalo’s inner struggle with the Green Monster to make his portrayal more comic-book accurate and authentic.
Scene That Proves Why MCU Needed to Feature Mark Ruffalo’s Inner Battle With Hulk
The closest we have gotten to the MCU featuring an inner battle scene between Bruce Banner and the Hulk is probably inInfinity War, when Hulk refuses to come out to battle Thanos. Apart from that, there is scarcely a scene that captures the true internal struggle of Banner and Hulk.

A mental struggle between Hulk and Bruce Banner, which is often present in many comic book storylines, is crucial to understanding the character’s depth and complexity. This struggle represents more than just a physical transformation; it is pivotal to explain how Hulk and Banner are two different entities existing in one. And this one particular scene from Bana’sHulkproves why we needed to see the inner conflict between Mark Ruffalo’s Banner and MCU’s Hulk.

The dynamic between Hulk and Bruce is central to the character’s identity and necessary to prevent Hulk from being reduced to a mere brute force rather than a nuanced character with a rich emotional and psychological layer. Thus, integrating such an internal battle into the MCU could have helped enhance the storytelling, adding more stakes to the character’s arc and showing his evolution from a tormented scientist to a hero who learns to coexist with his alter ego, something that fans have wanted for a long time.
As MCU continues on, we hope fans do get their wishes fulfilled before it is too late!
Hulkcan be streamed on Amazon Prime.
