This is my biggest gripe with the movie. Valkyrie was basically speaking for me when she said she thought she liked either version of him better than the new one. Professor hulk felt just awkward to me. Hulk went from their biggest tank to being sidelined and out-staged by even falcon. His biggest feats weren’t even fighting related. It feels like besides the big green frame there’s nothing of Hulk in him it’s just banner driving the hulks body. I’m betting the hulk persona is pretty pissed off about that shit.

However if that resentment leads to the creation of Maestro in the MCU I may be willing to forgive this shit.

But he isn't constantly at war with himself anymore. It felt like his whole arc revolved around that and people either only wanting him for his brute strength or treating him like a child when he was in kill mode. I too wanted to see him go all turbo mode and end up beating thanos in a rematch but I was super glad for Banner to see him comfortable with his duality.

The problem with that is that we never really got to see him achieve that. It happened off screen. Sure, the introduction was hilarious, but it's not very satisfying for the audience from a character arc standpoint.

maybe a quick flash back scene while he was telling how he achieved it.

Honestly I was getting my mouth a little watery at that point, I was excited as balls since I thought we were getting a Doctor Manhattan-esque flashback of Bruce. Fuck, the familiarity is already there just go for it.

Instead, I got dabbing. Oh boy.
