The Hulk just took a long time to heal, compared to other times, because the combined Infinity Stone energy seriously damaged the Hulk arm and the healing factor was slowed or temporarily stopped, in other words the Infinity Stone Energy stalled the Hulk's healing factor and it just needed a reboot, most likely by returning to Banner's human form.

It took years, at least 5 for The Avengers to find Thanos on Titan 2 and kill him in Endgame and his arm didn't heal by then... So why did Hulks arm heal and not Thanos?

That's also the reason why the avengers found thanos, because of the cosmic shockwave of the snap.

That was what I thought was gonna happen before the Russo's tried forcing Marvel's hand. I mean, healing factor is a core part of his power set. Why wouldn't his arm heal?

[@MatchTheStampede]

I mean, Far From Home was 8 months or so after Endgame, then WandaVision was just a few weeks-ish after Endgame, but before FFH, THEN Falcon was only a few months after Endgame. Not to mention Loki happens at literally all times. MCU controls the timeline, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is during the Blip. I'm still on the fence about when Shang-Chi happened...

[@ErSoMSF]

Shang-Chi takes place in the week leading up to April 4, 2024. That's the day of the Chinese Qingmingjie festival in 2024, the day on which the Battle of Ta Lo concludes. Of all the projects in Phase 4, Shang-Chi is the one whose place on the timeline is the MOST clear.

[@mikeedwards7619]

Yeah it's either 2024-2026

[@ErSoMSF]

@@mikeedwards7619 Considering blip recovery posters are up in the background when Shang-Chi is walking through San Fransisco, it's definitely end March/early April 2024, 5 months after Hulk's snap in October 2023. Further proof is in the fact that Shang-Chi wears a High School Class of '17 shirt during the first karaoke night we see, and he's 24 or 25 as he left his family at age 14-15, 10 years ago. So it's been just about 7 years since he graduated, putting it firmly in 2024. The dates for the events Shang-Chi are very, very much set in stone.

[@dellapj]

[@antonissa8345]

You should do an video about Hulk’s strength level during the MCU. It would be about why hulk is just “that strong” and how he’s being played dirty and nerfed. It isn’t necessarily true, the hulk we have seen so far is the “normal” hulk. If you compare MCU Hulk’s strength with the early comic hulk’s strength then you realize that their strength level is pretty much similar.

[@David_Scar]

I respectfully disagree, early comic Hulk is actually insane,some of his feats are crazy so no it's not that.. Mcu simply didn't do Hulk justice. Bad writing is bad writing no matter how much we try to sugar coat it

[@urmum2612]

I think it’s pretty consistent, thanos could have had the help of the power stone to beat him. And even if he was nerfed, that’s not a bad thing.

[@Handygramps]

They didn't call him world breaker for no reason.. He's definitely nerfed in the mcu.

[@joshoreilly2581]

I admit some of the complaining about Hulks nerf was overdramatic I mean up until Thor got stormbreaker, Wanda got powered up, and Strange showed up, I'm confident he was the strongest avenger but then infinity war came around and everything just kept getting worse

[@bullymaguire6713]

Hulk has healing factor not as much as wolverines but still considerable. The huge amount of energy might have overloaded it for a short time. I take it that Hulk's regeneration was surpressed, in order to get his brains and brawns together and the experiments he did on himself.

@@danelynch7171 no, not necessarily. I do not even think that gamma radiation effected him. It was just the raw, pure detonation of the energy of the stones that overloaded his regeneration.

Banner's techy wriststrap could be a sort of Amadeus Cho-type device, that enables him to switch between Smart hulk-Banner forms. It could also lead to an Amadeus Cho input to the MCU, which would be sooooooo cool.

[@summertyme5748]

Nah. You guys are missing the whole point of why he become Professor Hulk. There is no need for him to switch back to Banner, once he has the best of both worlds. The Professor Hulk scene is before Endgame, the Banner scene is after. (Or McU has some real bad writers)

[@bobskewer1874]

The most crucial element: The trailer could be a lie. Hulk's arm could very well still be messed up in the Gamma lab, and they just altered it for the advertising. Like Mjolnir's destruction, Thor's missing eye, or Hulk/Hulkbuster running with the team.

[@Cyril_P.]

Maybe he had to revert back to human form to have the arm treated..im sure any invasive medical procedures can't be done while in smart hulk mode.

[@Aros-pr2xr]

I theorize that it only took so long to heal because of other cosmic radiation(s) that he neither could understand nor detect that had a lasting effect which his healing factor struggled to recover from as quickly as he normally would

[@jesselejarzar5114]

Hulk has regenerative healing factors, and when he is angry all his powers increase but that rage makes him impossible to control so, smart Hulk is not as strong or as fast healing as rage Hulk, and the incredible power of the stones was too much power for a smart Hulk and fried that arm to where it would a lot of time to heal. Banner probably didn't want to lose his temper just to heal, for fear killing someone, or being lost to the hulk persona

[@ianwaltham1854]

I assume changing increaces his healing. So changing to Bruce Banner healed the scarring then changing back to Professor Hulk healed him completely. After all, in Thor Ragnarok his method of changing into Hulk was to jump out of an aircraft and hit the ground looking like he'd broken several bones. So I assume changing into Hulk heals all injuries. His Hulk body gets created perfectly according to his DNA without any injuries he may of had as Bruce Banner.

[@Kahar13]

Because they don't have the full cinematic rights of hulk It's universal studios that has it That's why due to an obscure lucrative contract that marvel can use hulk in other movies but in any case it should not be a solo movie That's why we always see his evolution in avengers movie or in thor's movie They can't make a solo movie with hulk as the sole main character So they put hulk in thor 3 While making an update on his character and a bond between the two avengers And marvel says to universal Well it's thor movie So we didn't break anything in the contract The mcu also became a bit humourous compare to the norton hulk who is a real beast

[@capthappy8884]

When in human form, his arm is still slung, but no scaring anymore. With his healing factor, never doubted he would totally recover.

[@demonsorrows]

My prediction is this: Bruce has always had higher than normal strength, resilience, and regeneration in normal human form and not just when he's hulked out. If that wasn't the case, he'd be dead from from the plane drop in The Incredible Hulk or his jump onto the Bifrost in Thor Ragnarok. He also made that completely clear when he told them all he tried to commit suicide only to have Hulk spit the bullet out. His super strength, resilience, and regeneration are just better CONTROLLED when he's in Hulk form since his body transforms to accommodate the stresses it puts on him. So I think he's doing a reverse brains and brawn, learning to use some of the hulk powers while he's not hulked out. Specifically the regeneration powers. The device on his arm could just be a communicator or something he uses to do work. BUT it may be a device that keeps a tab on his body in case his normal form gets too stressed out using the powers his Hulk form accommodates easily. Any thoughts? (open discussion)

I would not be surprised if the snap overloaded hulk with gama energy and bit by bit the hulk is coming back out, but this time more deranged than ever, and bruce is struggling to stay in control, this could lead up to world breaker hulk

[@taynimk1225]

Could he of healed if he let hulk take full control. Like full hulk has better regeneration. And then later went back to smart hulk form.

Could the device on Banner's arm be similar to the device Amadeus Cho uses to house the Sternbots? Also a great way to introduce Amadeus to the MCU?

What current MCU characters could survive the infinity gauntlet snap you guys think?

[@corywilson1488]

Only hulk he's only one with regeneration powers that powerful besides wolverine of course

we need a story that takes place during the blip

[@MrZwish-qe7nf]

probably flooded himself with gamma again to make the healing faster, but since he became smart hulk he can make it targeted now so it will only affect his arm

[@lnnyvgl784]

6:25 I think he has grey hair because he spent many years on Sakaar when he was Hulk

[@Appocollege]

The device definitely looks like what Amadeus Cho wore in the comics

[@treemuger1]

its just nice seeing hulk in a shirt for a change

[@timseverson2279]

I’m glad they decided to have him heal. Being a permanent injury didn’t make sense.

[@Kirkshelton]

What if normal Bruce in Shang Chi has a sling because of something innocuous like he fell or something unrelated to the Infiniti stones?

[@lancetaylor1678]

I feel like this shot is prior to endgame, like showing us how he combined the brains and the brawn.

[@NotTheRealMiguelington]

When he dehulked his arm is clearly normal and not fried anymore so when he went back to his hulk form i think the arm was healed there too

[@fanamazin5370]

And which way will smart hulk combat?

[@skyloren2187]

I really hope that his arm healed. He is my favourite character with Thor

[@fdmm1522]

I think, that for his arm t heal, banner had to go full hulk, so he had to go back to his old split self after his arm was fried, then got angry, healed and then was put back into smart hulk
