In fact, the Titan beats him so horribly that Hulk refuses to show up for the rest of the film (and I have more thoughts on that later). And what does Thanos do to the trump card? Beats the living crap out him. Having the Hulk has always been the trump card for the Avengers. In this moment, Loki steals Tony Stark’s line from the first Avengers film: “We have a Hulk.” And that has always been enough. Remember that awesome moment from the first Avengers when he punches that giant alien worm? Bumbling Bruce Banner is useless until the Hulk shows up to turn the tides of battle. Right? That is what we have come to expect, especially from Hulk.

Then, right as Loki is about to give up the Tesseract, Hulk jumps in to save the day. The God of Thunder is on his last legs like we have never seen him before as Thanos looks like he’s barely broken a sweat. In just the first 10 minutes of this movie, we see the aftermath of Thanos’ likely effortless beatdown of Thor and the Asgardians.

Isn’t that why both of those characters were omitted from Civil War? Sure they’ve met their “match” from time to time, but a god and a man with basically unlimited strength are hard to beat. Of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the mightiest have always been Thor and Hulk and I think that’s pretty clear. ***SPOILER ALERT*** A Whole Other Marvel Filmįrom the very first moment, Avengers: Infinity War establishes itself as a very, VERY, different Marvel film. Plus, the movie made over $600 million in its first weekend, so half of you have seen it already anyway. If you’d like to read a spoiler-free review, please follow this link! You have been given fair warning. I cannot stress this enough this breakdown is written as if you have already seen Avengers: Infinity War.
