Random Hulk Fan Theories That Actually Make A Lot Of Sense (15 items)

  (#7) Hulk Was Actually On Sakaar A Lot Longer Than We Thought

  From Redditor u/Starnbarge:

  I think the Hulk has been on Sakaar for a very very long time, possibly a hundred years or more. Hulk has been missing since Avengers Age of Ultron and Thor says to him he’s been gone for 2 years and Bruce Banner has no recollection of the 2 years Thor’s talking about. Loki was on Sakaar for 2 weeks before Thor was, but the time between them being knocked out of the Bi-Frost was a total of about 30 seconds. So, if 30 seconds in the reference frame outside of Sakaar is equal to 2 weeks inside Sakaar then how long is 2 years outside of Sakaar equal to on Sakaar? My thought is Hulk has been on Sakaar for a very long time, and never as Banner, and that leads to other things such as Hulks intelligence increasing as he spends so much time not stuck Banners body.

  Also this only works assuming the time difference doesn’t fluctuate, which it could, maybe do evidenced by the fact that time on Sakaar and Asgard seem to be more or less synchronized, shown by Hella's actions because otherwise Thor would’ve shown up in Asgard a mere 5 minutes after Hella got there. However this synchronized time could be a side affect of Thor and Loki smashing through the Bifrost which cause Sakaar to synch with Asgard.

  (#1) Hulk Stayed Hulk So Long To Protect Banner

  From Redditor u/sinburger:

  TL;DR: Hulk stayed Hulk for so long because Sakaar is dangerous AF and there was no reason for Banner to come out.

  Banner states that in the past he felt that he and Hulk always had one hand on the wheel of control, but during his time on Sakaar it was more like Hulk had full control and Banner was locked in the trunk. I don't think this happened because Hulk somehow gained a greater control of his shared living conditions. I think Banner sub-consciously gave up control and allowed Hulk to stay in charge as a matter of self preservation.

  (#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.

  (#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?

  (#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.

  (#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
