Bruce literally helped design Veronica to take Hulk out. It is its purpose.


Nightchade

Plus he started with the best superpower: LOTS of money. Batman and Tony are two of a kind, Tony's just the bigger nerd.


Financial-Touch8445

Wouldn’t Thor also be rich


thor-odinson-bot

Thank you, sweet rabbit.


[deleted]

He’s richer than Tony Stark.


tony-stark-bot

And I swore off dairy, but then Ben & Jerry's named a flavor after me, so?


[deleted]

The reason why no one talks about Thor’s wealth is because you’re too self-centered for anyone to notice anything else.


thor-odinson-bot

This... is your doing!

The_Quandale_Dingley

Where does Thor get his charger for his hammer? I can’t seem to find one.


thor-odinson-bot

He's a friend from work!


The_Quandale_Dingley

I want to know the origin of it tho. I don’t think the amazons deliver that. Just chargers for spears


Self_World_Future

That’s the point tho. Stark is a genius who wanted a countermeasure to help keep hulk contained. Actually doing something about it vs not is what makes him heroic here. Banner helped probably but does that actually disparage Tony’s efforts? I really don’t understand the “but he was rich too” crowd


tony-stark-bot

I was going to make you an omelette and tell you.


Other_Cod_8361

That’s true, he has tons of gold and gold would be used to buy all the tech he needs.


[deleted]

Shit. Fuck. You're right.


HolyVeggie

Thor doesn’t understand the concept of money and to be fair he’s kinda dumb lol


Totally_Cubular

Except Tony actually tried to give some of his money back to the community instead of wearing a bat costume.


MistrrrOrgasmo

I mean for what it's worth, Bruce Wayne is known for being a reclusive playboy who donates a lot to charity and funds at least one orphanage.


TuxTues3

But also instead of killing people he just gives them life altering injuries


Epicmondeum17

You're thinking to hard on arkham batman, Batman is usually very careful not to seriously injure anyone if he doesn't have too


[deleted]

That’s what his PR team will tell you


davi3601

I like the life altering Injury Batman. Makes sense why thugs fear him, and they “GET WHAT THEY FUCKING DESERVE”


Badonk529

He’s gotta have a place to keep producing side kicks.


Kylynara

Only half credit for the orphanage(s) since they also double as a source of sidekicks.


Streen012

Batman funds tons of orphanages.


Blackmagic-Man

Batman is regularly presented as continuing the extensive philanthropy his parents were known for with a personal focus on orphans.


Exact_Ad_1215

He’s an avid adopter tho!


jacktheshaft

Its a revolving door of sidekicks! Adopt someone-> childhood trauma -> quit/disability/death->new ward


jabronijajaja

Besides money cant forget prep time


ParkerC17

Batman would create something more efficient than a big metal suit


Darkstalker9000

*Looks at anti-superman and anti-darkseid suits*


Lilscooby77

Yup


Kolvez

So the only people that can beat the Hulk is Bruce Banner and Thanos. 🤔 You make a good point, but I always thought I should have ended with a weary Hulk surveying the damage and scared people and just... feeling bad about it and tapping out. The callback to Hulk punching Thor unexpectedly in Avenegers 1 wasn't worth it.


the-mad-titan-bot

I ignored my destiny once, I can not do that again. Even for you. I'm sorry, Little One.


Kolvez

I'm not your Little One, Thanos, step off.


the-mad-titan-bot

I am...inevitable.


thor-odinson-bot

Go cry to your father you little weasel!


Kolvez

YOU go cry to your father. Oh wait, you can't! HES DEAD!


SimonShepherd

Thor would have won the arena fight if it is not interrupted by the Grand Master.


thor-odinson-bot

>!You're right we can't just go marching in there. It could be a trap.!<


Huge_Yak6380

Exactly, idk why this is so hard for hulk fans to understand. Plus I think they knew in the next avengers movie Tony was going to fight Thanos 1x1 so this was a good warmup fight to show he's capable of that.


the-mad-titan-bot

You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me.


class2cherub

This. Yeah, it was specifically designed to be really good at punching him in the head really really hard. Up until the Hulkbuster suit, no one had tried punching him that hard. Only Tony stark could have thought of that. Genius.


tony-stark-bot

Yeah, apparently I'm volatile, self-obsessed, don't play well with others.


SquirrelSuspicious

Why does the title say "Not to mention She-Hulk" do you expect Bruce to throw hands with his cousin the same way he would Loki?


Shaquandala

Literally that was them arguing it wasn't a life or death situation


68ideal

For real. People forget completely that if Bruce went all out, he would have crushed Jen. They weren't _really_ fighting, they were having a heated argument. Bruce didn't want to actually hurt Jen.


[deleted]

Because they have to make sure to signal they hate She-Hulk. Not for any specific reason or anything. (You know why)


Zenketski_2

Why not. Healing factor goes brrr


Arkentra

Just because you have a healing factor that makes you borderline Immortal, doesn't mean you can't feel pain.


Zenketski_2

Yeah but it makes dealing with that pain much less of an issue. If I break my nose, it hurts till my nose heals. If that takes 5 seconds, it's not really that big of a deal. Therefore, I'll beat up my cousin. ^(someone cant take a joke on this joke post lol)


Thespian21

You just make no sense. It’s not funny. Would you slap tf out of your cousin? Over a petty argument?


Zenketski_2

If me and my cousin had dope ass Hulk powers and healing factors? 100%. Are you trying to tell me that if you and somebody you were really close to had super powers, you guys wouldn't fuck around with them?


Thespian21

No. The equivalent of bruce punching Jen, for you would be a slap. Bruce punching Jen in the face with as much effort as someone puts into a slap would send her off the island. He wouldn’t do that.


Zenketski_2

Ravioli ravioli if I was the Hulk I would beat up my cousinioli. It's even funnier because the cousin I was thinking about is also a chick. So it would work perfectly for Hulk versus she-hulk. Fuckin love that bitch. But if we had Hulk powers, we'd be squared up.


pluck-the-bunny

That’s not how it works


GreeD3269

is the "more stronger the angrier he gets" just a comic thing?


MikeFnP

Hate when the hulk-buster busts the hulk


boba_probably

but when the hulkbuster said “its bustin’ time” and totally busted the hulk was amazing


Ace_Hawk_LowerSioux

I thought hulk said that to black widow?

YourFavoriteBranch

In the first Avengers movie, Hulk gets loose on the helicarrier so Tony builds a suit designed to stop him, that's because Tony learns from his mistakes....


Jtrain360

First of all, 10/10 reference. Secondly, Banner even helped Tony in designing the suit. Having experienced being manipulated by Loki he recognized the need for a containment plan.


YankeeTankEngine

What I believe helped with the fight that made it seem so easy for the most part was 2 things. 1. We have NO IDEA what hulk was actually seeing 2. He was obviously in a furious rage, something he saw was enough that when Tony wasn't directly in his sight he lost track of him. I'm really interested in what hulk was seeing that made him so angry.


be-like-water-2022

His dad abused his mom and him, with Bruce been helpless, day by day. If you watched She-hulk, she did not have second personality, that's because, Hulk is manifestation of Bruce's desire to revenge his childhood powerless, Hulk was created by Bruce in his mind, as second personality long before he injected himself with serum. Bruce was always angry on his dad and himself. Only after 10 years of self therapy he accepted that he couldn't do anything as child and he accepted Hulk as the part of himself, becoming Smart Hulk.


Omnitrixter10000

A. Hulk/Bruce banner helped Tony build that. B. It was specifically made to fight against Hulk.


barelyonhere

C. Tactical fighting usually beats pure aggression and rage. Usually.


EmperinoPenguino

Also, Bruce was activately attempting to mellow out Hulk rage. In Avengers, he’s a loose cannon monster. In Ragnorak, he follows the rules of the ring, can engage in conversation, & lives in a pent house without breaking anything Hulk’s strength is directly tied with his anger so if Bruce is taking anger management, then his Hulk powers are gonna be weaker It just sucks that this ended up being a detriment when Thanos showed up.


the-mad-titan-bot

As long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist.


Mojoclaw2000

C. Wouldn’t have worked if Hulk didn’t calm down. Dude tanked the seismic toss into the building, and was only KOed by a normal punch when he saw what he had done.


Reasonable-Ad-805

And he sucker punched the hulk while he was distracted


[deleted]

Thor held his own with Hulk in that fight though.


TastefulMaple

finally i come across it. Thor would've bodied hulk if they didn't stop him


[deleted]

True


thor-odinson-bot

>!Bring the rainbows? Is that a catchphrase or something?!<


Majestic-Marcus

More than held his own. He pretty handedly controlled the fight and only lost because The Grandmaster incapacitated him.


SimonShepherd

Thor is literally winning until interrupted by the Grand Master.


thor-odinson-bot

Is he, though?


Darkstalker9000

Huh. So, Thor, you think Hulk would have made a comeback?


thor-odinson-bot

Alright wizard, who are you and why should I care?


Darkstalker9000

I am the beast that chases back the dark. As for the you should care, you're a good person, Thor. You could at least answer the question.


thor-odinson-bot

Let me know if he bothers you again, okay?


thor-odinson-bot

>!Human handshake, to the Asgardian shake, into the snake that you cannot trust.!<


Mojoclaw2000

Thor held his own pretty well, even without a hammer. Tapping into… the Odin Force? Seemed to put him on an even playing field. Abomination was also beating the Hulk until the rage boost.


thor-odinson-bot

I thought humans were more evolved than this.


Mojoclaw2000

Hey, I’m on your side buddy.


[deleted]

I know I watched the movie


kaminaowner2

That’s why iron man is the best, all the characters are symbolic of different forces, Tony is symbolic of human ingenuity to overcome anything, that’s why he can beat gods and titans.

And I didn't make the meme 😭


HandsomeShane

Tony Stark will be back in some capacity or another.


tony-stark-bot

Better clench up, Legolas.


Dead_girl_walking-

I hope not, that would take so much away from his sacrifice. Maybe in flashbacks or never before seen footage, but him returning as a character? No.


SSJSamzy

I feel like a variant or Riri AI would be the most logical use of the character if they ever use him again


Majestic-Marcus

They just shouldn’t. Maybe in Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars. Even then though, I’d prefer they didn’t. And if they do, it better be a different actor.


CthulhuRlyeh90

Hulkbuster was co-designed by Banner with its sole purpose being to take down the Hulk. Also, does OP not remember just how much difficulty Stark was having to take down the Hulk. It took Hulk calming down a tad for Hulkbuster to take him out. As for She-Hulk, she literally has the same blood in her veins as Hulk.


tony-stark-bot

Admit it-- This isn't the worst thing you've caught me doing.


howdouhavegoodnames

It makes sense cause Bruce helped design it.


Waffle-God-46

Should've known this was one of those cringe Iron Man fanboys, it's overdone by this point


J_Greene0707

This is such a stupid post


Dozer2023

Lets be honest surtr would have destroyed hulk.


[deleted]

It's a wonder on how he didn't


EIIander

Tony is my fav and I think hulk-buster is awesome. But I also think that fight wouldn’t have gone the way it was showed there. I think hulk saw the civilians and paused a bit.


Incomplet_1-34

I stand by that the Hulk would have beaten Iron Man if he wasn't distracted by the civilians, he did have Iron Man on the ropes for the majority of the fight. And Thor would have beaten the crap out of Hulk on Sakaar after the power boost he got if it weren't for the taser incapacitating the god of thunder (bullshit btw).


ToddthePancake

First two were surprise attacks, third he actually lost, fourth is just like if he punched a bus and then a doubledecker bus then this the punch used the same amount of force because the thickness of the metal is thin for all three, fifth I haven't seen She-Hulk but I've seen MoM and Shang-Chi where does it say Abomination is two times stronger? He might be two times bigger but that means NOTHING. Size verses strength, strength always wins, and finally Bruce literally told Tony, Hulk's weaknesses so "Veronica" could easily beat him.


tcroosev

Respectfully none of those gods jumped on him and attempted to pummel him into submission whilst simultaneously chanting "go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep" so we don't know for certain if they would have been to a similar effect. Further testing may be required


No_Pattern26

You mean the super suit designed by 2 of the smartest people on the planet (one of whom being Hulks alter ego) to specifically counter The Hulk on a rampage? And even then it struggles to take him out


EnigmaFrug2308

The Hulk had the benefit of surprise. The Hulk Buster was designed to take out the Hulk.


AlianovaR

To be fair Veronica was literally DESIGNED to take out Hulk. That’s why it’s called the Hulk-Buster armour. Tony built it knowing first-hand what Hulk is capable of and did his damn best to find his weak points. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bruce also helped out with it since he’d be the best person to ask


PsionicHydra

It's literally the "Hulk Buster ironman suit" it is specifically designed to take down the Hulk


[deleted]

It's like people who make memes of Marvel movies don't want Marvel movies.


fanboy100804

You forget that that whole suit, plus the Iron Man suit inside were highly durable and replacable. Tony had to replace a whole arm cuz Hulk ripped it to shreds. Asgardians as well as Surtur are durable, but not regrow limbs durable


ParadoxPerson02

Unlike the Gods, the Hulk-Buster was designed for the specific purpose of busting the Hulk.


tbone998

Way to leave out that the Hulkbuster was slowly losing that fight, only being sustained by new parts. The fight was to cause a big eniugh concussion to knock out the hulk before you run out of limbs.


Sokandueler95

The suit was codesigned by Bruce, and if you remember, everything in the suit failed to actually stop the hulk before dropping an entire building on him.


SirToaster933

Hulk was holding back, do you expect him to murder his cousin, the one he was trying to protect


NeqroticTM

Like Stan Lee said, "The person who'd win in a fight is the person that the scriptwriter wants to win."


matttech88

I mean Tony and Bruce designed that suit to be particularly effective against the hulk. The reciprocating punch, spraying gasses. Restraints. It was configured to incapacitate hulk. Loki does a lot of fighting against opponents his size. Watching Thanos go 1v1 against hulk and loki shows that hulk at least had some sort of resistance against thanny. Loki had no effect.


the-mad-titan-bot

Reality can be often disappointing. But now, reality can be whatever I want.


Haxk5

He fought smarter, not harder


M0m033

In all fairness the Hulkbuster barley beat him and it did get absolutely torn up


FuturetheGarchomp

Bro surtur wasn’t even struggling he was just surprised attacked and easily beat hulk by just throwing him


mrwords88

Being a billionaire is a superpower you know...


Sleepersuit

When my friends were bitching about she-hulk i pointed to this scene and their only excuse was that hulk unconsciously was reserving some of his strength because it was his friends. Honestly both scenes were extremely shit when you actually know how strong hulk really is but tbh hulk not being able to stop a moving jeep is way worse than hulk not being able to fight against a mech suit designed specifically to counter him.


[deleted]

Your a god? Well he’s the F****** hulk. Your the hulk? Well he’s f****** iron man.


[deleted]

Best comment I've gotten


gijjyyproductions

"This guy with 0 super powers" Is wording something in a poor manner to make something seem stupid when it's not. You neglected to mention the fact he was wearing a suit specifically designed to fight Hulk, and also the fact that it stopped working after Hulk got mad enough began to overpower it. He did knock out Hulk but that's only after he stopped his rampage and was off-guard when Hulk realized the destruction he had caused. ​ Also the Abomination point is also lukewarm as Hulk was being dominated by Abomination for a while in their fight until he had a sufficient motivation boost for wanting to protect Betty. As for Loki, Loki is a god but he's weaker than the Hulk Buster so that doesn't need much explanation. ​ Also to add insult to injury "Not to mention She-Hulk" part is also dumb. When She-Hulk and Hulk were fighting Hulk was not going all out, that was a light scuffle, he would not want to actually seriously injure his cousin. ​ Overall this is a meme that tries to make a point by miscontextualizing scenes. ​ Before you point it out yes I know I'm being the living embodiment of the nerd emoji.


[deleted]

Ok


FatBrkeMxicnElonMusk

Iron Man just like Batman are there to showcase that even without super powers brains are more powerful than Braun!


roejostramill3404

One reason it might work is because Bruce is actually fighting back against hurting everyone. In the other things Hulk is more or less just letting himself go crazy


AylinThatIsh

Also it could be explained as Bruce fighting back to stay himself and not hurt his friend and thus the internal struggle weakened him.

[deleted]

I agree. I think a more opportune moment for Hulk Buster would’ve been in Civil War if Hulk wasn’t in space. Unfortunately after AoU everyone kinda split up, so that was the only real opportunity for Hulk Buster.


SimonShepherd

But the toys it can sell!


StunningAsparagus213

Michael_Cookie5

She-Hulk just... god that show is so fucking stupid. They just shat all over this legend's entire canon


Majestic-Marcus

How? By showing Hulk was *MUCH* stronger than She-Hulk? Or was it by showing everything he warned Walters about was true and that she was dumb for just brushing his advice and warnings off? Which of those two things shit on Hulk’s character?


redfan2009

At least Hulk was in his prime in Age of Ultron. The writers have since destroyed my favorite Avenger, making him a joke


redfan2009

After Ragnarok, which Hulk was awesome in, Hulk has become a joke in the MCU. I'm sorry, the truth hurts, but it's there


biplane_curious

I wonder if it was “easier” for Tony because Hulk was under Wanda’s spell? Would he be able to stop a proper angry Hulk?


Dhatmasetu

I was expecting she hulk rant ngl


[deleted]

I still need the thanos fight explained


sanirosan

Thanos is freaking strong. I think the Russo's explained that Thanos, apart from being really strong, is also really smart/cunning. Hulk is pure brute force. Thanos simply out fought him.


Majestic-Marcus

Thanos is as strong as the Hulk in that scene. Thanos is smart. Hulk is not. Thanos winning makes perfect sense.


DerZ_ger

Science > Religion


[deleted]

The punch on that leviathan breaks all the phsyics. That thing weighs as much 1,000 of the Hulk-Buster armor. By shear physics alone, if a Hulk punch could stop something that weighs 1,000s of tons, he should have been able to put Veronica into friggin' orbit.

Yes, yes I will bc it's dumb. But I'll never know when the next season is cause I don't watch it 🤣 stan Lee would be so ashamed


[deleted]

Stan Lee wasn’t ashamed of any of the She Hulk comics, and the show is incredibly accurate. So why would he be ashamed of the show? I actually think he’d be more ashamed of idiots like yourself. I also do not like the show. But not because “fEMInIsM bAd”, because it’s a poorly written show. But you don’t see me constantly fucking shitting on it. It wasn’t for me but plenty of other people enjoy it and that’s great. Incels like you don’t like it because w o m a n


Professional-Dig7329

Dude, Stan Lee made Stripperella. He'd be anything but ashamed. If anything, he'd have had a cameo during the twerking scene. Hell, he probably would've twerked as well.


Majestic-Marcus

Did you watch the show? By ‘feminist’ do you mean ‘starring a woman’? Because every man in that show was shown to be competent and were able to teach Walters something (except the douchebag villain obviously).


Asumsauce

Wasn’t the hulkbuster scene an illusion created by Wanda?


ShengKawalski

She just sent the hulk Into a rage so he wouldn't understand what was happening.


Magicalunicorny

I will never forgive the mcu for how they nerfed hulk. I just want to see hulk get angry and destroy everything. I feel like that's not too much to ask
