  (#11) Banner Is Unable To Bring Out The Hulk In 'Infinity War' Because He's Actually Happy

  From Redditor u/unionjunk:

  About Bruce's problem with the Hulk in Infinity War. In the first Avengers movie, Bruce says his secret is that he's always angry, which is how he can turn into the Hulk on command. Since then, he's been part of this amazing group of people who deeply care for him, he's actually had a conversation with Romanov about settling down, and even on Sakaar when he stopped being the Hulk, you could see he was enjoying his time hanging out with Thor and the others (and if you remember back on Asgard, Bruce jumped out of the ship expecting to turn into the Hulk and landed on his face on the bifrost bridge). Most importantly, he hasn't had to live his life constantly looking over his shoulder since Romanov came to get him in India. So basically, Bruce Banner was unable to bring out the Hulk in Infinity War because he's been a lot happier/content lately than he was when he met the Avengers.

  (#2) Hulk Accidentally Invented An Immortality Machine In 'Endgame'

  From Redditor u/ak2sup:

  Just realized it, while Professor Hulk was doing time-travel test on Scott he accidently turned Scott into an old, teen and a baby. Of course it was fun scene, but what if they actually use that tech for selfish reason? For example, Hulk could use that to heal his arm, Cap could use that to become young again, and they still have all memories

  (#15) Dr. Strange Sent The Hulk To Sakaar Then Tried To Kill Him

  From Redditor u/Arc_the_lad:

  TL;DR: Dr. Strange sent The Hulk to Sakaar which was the first of his four attempts at getting rid of The Hulk.

  Evidence: STRANGE HAS THE MOTIVE

  The Hulk is too dangerous to ignore. Strange keeps a list of dangerous beings from other worlds per Ragnarok. It's not a stretch to believe he also keeps a list of dangerous humans on earth which would include Bruce Banner who as both a giant green rage monster and co-creator of Ultron is probably right at the top of it.

  (#12) Bruce Is Stuck In His Professor Hulk Form

  From Redditor u/SupaBloo:

  I believe Banner is actually now stuck in his Professor Hulk form. We're led to believe he has complete control over Hulk now, but I don't think that's really the case. First of all, he is clearly smaller than the Hulk we're used to, and we don't see him display his strength nearly as much as Hulk does, even in the heat of battle. I believe in Professor Hulk form he is weaker than Hulk, and can't even get stronger from being angrier. If he was able to increase his power to higher Hulk levels, then we would've seen that happen in the most important battle of the universe. He's still very, very strong, just not Hulk strong.

  Another reason I think he's stuck is because of his eating habits. Wouldn't it make sense to turn back to his normal Banner form to reserve as much energy in his body as possible? If he could remain in Banner form, he would require much less food and other resources that he needs in Professor Hulk form simply because of his size. In my opinion, it would be weird for Bruce to be choosing to remain weaker in fights, as well as choosing to remain in a form that requires more sustenance. The only two explanations I can really think of that would make him choose to stay in that form is if it's a type of PTSD, and he remains in that form out of fear of being attacked with his guard down, or because he's afraid that if he leaves that form he may not be able to control it again.

  (#6) Professor Hulk Isn't Seen Fighting In 'Endgame' Because Banner Never Learned How To Fight

  From Redditor u/The_Brolander:

  I was a little annoyed by how underwhelming Hulk was in this movie. I thought that the Hulk would’ve had a sweet little redemption fight with Thanos... after how quickly he was dismantled in the last movie. At least one round even... but nothing. I think I just realized why. The reason Professor Hulk isn’t really seen fighting, is because Banner (who is now driving the Hulk car) never learned how to fight. His strength is hardly showcased at all. He held up some rocks... he threw a bench across the state... And he picked up a motorcycle and tossed it aside and that was the extent of Hulk showing his power. The reason why I think this is, is because Banner never really learned how to fight and he’s always just been a spectator in the Hulk’s berserker show. Sure, when he was wearing the hulk buster armor, he was piloting something super strong, but that was a suit of armor programmed to react and fight and super enhance wearer ability (even if they are limited). Savage Hulk was never a skilled fighter himself. He was a berserker who just destroyed everything trying to hurt him or his friends. His rage fueled all of his punches. During that five years, he became soft and complacent... banner only used his strength only to wow kids, but never knowing how to really use his strength for combat. Some of this is evident when they travel back to New York and Banner is off to get the time stone. Cap tells him to wreck some stuff and Banner isn’t really sure what to do... he punches a car... he tosses a motorcycle to the side and just stands there dopey. Banner doesn’t have rage and isn’t a berserker. He should really be working with Clint, Bucky and all of the other hand to hand combatants on how to use his power.

  (#4) Hulk Knew He Couldn’t Bring Back Natasha Because He Met Her In The Soul World

  From Redditor u/Crispworthy:

  Think about it..... we’ve only seen the soul stone used a couple of times; Thanos wiping out half the universe... and as soon as he does that, he has a moment in the soul world with the one he loves (Gamora: “did you do it?” etc) When the Hulk used it to bring everyone back. When Iron Man used it to get rid of Thanos and his army. We then see in a ‘deleted scene’ that Tony has a conversation in the soul world with his loved one (his daughter, all grown up).

  So, going back to number two: doesn’t it make sense that Hulk got to meet his loved one in the soul world after he used the stones? Especially when we consider that he told Cap that he tried to bring her back. How does he know he didn’t!? Everyone appeared exactly where they were when they were dusted, maybe she came back to life there! But no, Hulk KNOWS she didn’t... how could he KNOW? Did Dr Strange go to Vormir and see if she was around? It’s possible, but did he chat to Hulk about it? Also, consider that Thanos meets Gamora in the soul world; because her soul maybe lives there now due to the sacrifice. The same could be said for Nat?
