Bruce Banner (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

If ready for the mainspace. The alter-ego name is probably a better title for it. He does appear as Bruce more. Also one time in the post-credit scene as only Bruce. Just my two cents. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 02:01, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're definitely right about that. The move is done, but this draft is probably the farthest one from being ready for mainspace. bd2412 T 02:05, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I know. You're in the beginning stages though. You should be able to get there. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 03:01, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm definitely getting a better sense of where to go with these. bd2412 T 03:08, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Time travel

Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are both categorized as time travelers, but none of the other participants in the Time Heist seen in Avengers: Endgame are categorized as such. Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, Scott Lang, Natasha Romanoff, and Thor should all be included in the category "Time travelers." --IJVin (talk) 21:32, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@IJVin: that is not a defining characteristic of any of these characters. Removing the cat from Steve and Tony's articles. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:09, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to Talk:Steve Rogers (Marvel Cinematic Universe) § Time travel category

– The original continuation of this discussion has now moved to the Steve Rogers talk page. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Black Widow as significant other

@IronManCap: the relationship Banner has with Romanoff is featured quite heavily in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and referred to in Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War, whereas his relationship with Betty Ross is only present in The Incredible Hulk. Further, the relationship with Romanoff is specific to the MCU iteration of the characters, rendering it even more notable here. —El Millo (talk) 21:45, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Facu-el Millo: I don't feel strongly about this either way, but as 'in-universe info' I thought Banner-Romanoff seems more in league with the likes of Liz for Peter Parker and Sharon Carter for Steve Rogers. I'm not totally against inclusion, but Marvel did sweep it under the carpet pretty quickly. Betty Ross is there as she was with Banner for a number of years prior to The Incredible Hulk. If Romanoff is included here, I think Sharon Carter should be included on Steve Rogers' article as it was a similar kind of relationship. IronManCap (talk) 21:50, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a matter of relevance and comparisons. Rogers has a clear love interest with Peggy Carter, which is much more relevant than his "relationship" with Sharon, which basically consisted of a kiss. Here, Romanoff is arguably Banner's most relevant relationship or at least on par with Ross given that, most likely because of the recast, Ross wasn't even mentioned after The Incredible Hulk. Banner and Romanoff's relationship is basically their whole arc in Age of Ultron, and it's the only romantic relationship amongst the original Avengers group. —El Millo (talk) 21:55, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First appearance

The MCU Hulk's "first appearance" was not in 2008. It was in 2012 Avengers. The 2008 version was fired by the 2012 version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.42.77.229 (talk) 16:27, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't matter. The Incredible Hulk is still an MCU film, regardless of the fact that Banner was played by Edward Norton. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:55, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2003 Film inclusion

Had a win and a couple nominations that could be added https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286716/awards/?ref_=tt_awd — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.10.67.16 (talk) 13:51, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The 2003 Hulk film is not an MCU film. — SirDot (talk) 11:02, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request to correct Bruce’s name.

Bruce’s first name has been Robert in the comics and the MCU, with his middle name always being Bruce. TrulyGsuswywnw (talk) 19:39, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TrulyGsuswywnw: And when was this revealed in the MCU? InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:30, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Check the MCU wiki. There’s a source listed on Hulk’s page. TrulyGsuswywnw (talk) 14:26, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia goes by common names, and in this sub-project, with clearly in-universe information. BD2412 T 16:35, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The fan wiki cites The Incredible Hulk: The Fury Files, which per our own article is not canon. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:30, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Images

This article has 5 non-free images. Can we remove a pair of them? Redjedi23 (talk) 13:21, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is one collage and one separate image. We wouldn't need them if Marvel didn't keep changing notable aspects of the character. BD2412 T 03:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
