its kinda sad how the hulk is so isolated.. between losing Stark and Natasha..you can see how lonely he is and trying to keep his cousin around.

[@demitri9211]

remember it’s not the hulk, it’s bruce

[@jay7185]

Not only those two.His leader the captain who went back in time and his or rather the hulks best friend Thor who travels deep space with the guardians,and lastly clint who can’t visit Bruce often because of his family.The original avengers was Bruce family until he has very nearly lost them all

[@Leotique]

When Bruce mentioned that there's a message from Sakar he will look deeper into later and also mentioned that he had to destroy Jennifer's blood because they don't want any further Hulks to be made, is what will surprise us at the end of this series, where Hulk will find out there are more of "them", which could be his "son" on Sakar.

1st thing I thought too! Best Easter egg to me if it pans out.

[@ericjackson8135]

One thing I caught when they were discussing Captain America's virginity: Jennifer is talking about Steve in the past tense, "that ass did not deserve to die a virgin". Hulk's answer is "Steve Rogers is not a virgin...". Present tense. Even though the world thinks Steve is dead, it sounds like Bruce knows that he is alive.

[@lightdarksoul2097]

On the moooooon. Nah hulk was there when Steve returned so maybe Steve told Hawkeye also like the avengers where he was going

[@toniodejimi3905]

If Steve’s alive, dude’s basically a walking corpse. I think it’s more plausible to say that Steve died shortly after EG, and that Bruce just uses present tense because he’s still grieving the lost of a friend.

[@jocelyngipson7882]

Steve might frfr be still alive. Keep in mind, the super soldier’s age slower than most people

[@HeWhoRemains42]

Excellent catch !

[@jaideepshekhar4621]

I could definitely see Hulk having a child on Sakaar during the two years that he wasn’t aware of. Also there are times I thought he could get angry enough to loss control again.

[@tthedood6404]

Also time moves different on sakaar compared to earth so it’s so possible hulk had a child

[@Youre_so_thirsty_4_recognition]

You could see it huh? Why? Because it happened in the comic book? Really goin out on a limb

That's his secret cap... he's always angry.

[@grahamsmith6409]

Begin Smart Hulk means Hulks memory and Bruce's memory were shared to eachother. That's why Bruce( smart Hulk) said about how he would got knocked out by robot and the people were seeing him as a monster in Age of Ultron......again, I am not saying that he haven't had child in sakaar.

So often in movies when a person is knocked unconscious or has an injury, the person wakes up in different cloths. Later they make some comment about it and if the character is female she has a “you saw me naked!” line after and she gets angry, but the female is expected to get over the non-consensual intrusion. I appreciate that Jennifer wakes up in the same clothes that she was knocked out in and is given fresh cloths to change into on her own.

Just a note about owls. In ancient Greece they were the symbol of godess Athena, godess of wisdom among other things. which also makes the owl a symbol of wisdom

[@juanitogloria8210]

@newrockstars I know this is not a Ms.Marvel video, but I recently caught something in the 1st min of episode one during the drawn montage. @1:03 during the opening sequence, there is a particular drawing of a bird with red cheeks and red question marks all around it. To the regular marvel fan, this may not mean anything unless you are also a fan of manga and Japanese anime. That bird bares a striking resemblance to a character in the anime BLEACH during season 1 episode 4. If you type in “Yuichi Shibata” or even “Bird from bleach ep 4” you’ll find pictures of this character. And put side by side to the one drawn in Ms.Marvel, it is very similar. This might have seemed random and out of place. But now that there are rumors of the Bleach anime going to be streamed on Disney+, it almost seems like a nod to the creator of bleach and to bleach fans.

[@lorenzwinterhoff8049]

Agreed, Steve lost his vifginity to Peter Quill's grandma, and because Steve got frozen he never learned about it.

And it'd also link back to the original Guardians lineup with Major Victory/Vance Astro being using Cap's shield and stuff.

The only comment on your analysis whic I don't agree with regarding Bruce Banner is when you said: "It's sad to reminisce but I think we're getting to a spot in the MCU when thinking of Tony shouldn't make you sad, he lost him but happy at the memories they got to make with him." The reason why Bruce is still sad and grieving Tony is because you can see how strong their friendship was with the research lab and bar they built together. Bruce in the beginning refers to Steve Rogers as a work colleague not a friend. I think Tony was Bruce's only real genuine friend that he has ever had in his life which is why it is hard for him to move past losing Tony. Think about it, Tony is one of the only very deep real relationships Bruce has had in the MCU so far that understood him; everything else has been superficial, work colleagues, or just acquaintances except for Natasha.

[@Prince-fi4ur]

Bruce referred to steve as both a colleague and a friend. Stop changing facts to make them fit into your perspective.
