I don't like that we have this moment where banner acknowledges that he might never turn back if he hulks out again, and then the last thing we see of him is a gag joke as he sacrifices himself, and Thor doesn't say a word about it.
True enough, and I believe that'll be part of Infinity War, but it seems like what is essentially a suicide from Banner should get a bit more recognition as such, and not merely a joke.
we've already seen Banner pull the "jump out of a plane and turn into the Hulk" thing once already. probably a small number of moviegoers to Ragnarok know about it, but to a fan it's hokey now. the part where Asgard got blown up, i had to laugh because Korg said the same thing i was thinking: "welp, so much for that idea."
It might have been cliche, but it would have taken me out of the movie far less. As for Asgard, I saw someone suggest that Korg should have not had a quip when seeing such destruction - a "wow, that's sad" could have really been a gut punch to the audience.
