Hulk's not supposed to get discouraged when he starts to lose. He gets angry and starts to overpower and that didn't happen with Thanos.

[anubusx]

I wish we had got to see a Hulk and Thanos rematch.

[robertzenniful]

I love the look of the original Edward Norton Hulk, the new Hulk has more of a gorilla look.
I agree that Thanos is more skilled fighter but the Hulk did get training in the Sarkar, which the Russo Brothers seem to overlook

[von]

Lets just say Hulk is so inconsistent. This is the same Hulk that stopped a 200ft alien whale in NY with a single punch! Yet he couldn’t just throw Thanos through the ship and call it a day.

[alessandros.marques]

The Russo brothers are always contradicting themselves, lol.

[dbcria]

The Russo Brothers still nerfed the Hulk. If I were directing the Thanos fight scene I would have done it like this: The fight goes down much as it did, but once Hulk is down you see even more anger in his face. He grows in strength, but gets knocked down again, and this repeats several times until finally you see bolts of electricity around Hulk as he shows his first ever worldbreaker inclination. Now he's well above Thanos's ability to counter, even with his advanced fighting skill. At that point Thanos is now the one who is down and Ebony Maw clears his throat and says "Ahem", which Thanos knows as a signal to use the power stone. He does so and knocks Hulk straight out the side of the ship where he's floating in space to later be found by the Nova corp.

As it stood, the Russo brothers totally nerfed Hulk.

The hulk spent 2 years battling people of similar stature on sakar and was the reigning champion until thor shower up. It was poor writing to have him just rage charge thanos like that, thanos could have still outskilled him to set the movie up but it just doesn't make sense he still uses the baby giant fighting technique.

[Belsarius]

As much as I didn't like Ang Lee's Hulk, he was the only director to get him right. As Hulk gat angrier he got stronger and larger. The Russo Brothers and Edward Norton's Hulk are super strong but not comic correct. I do love those movies but I believe they depowered The Hulk for the Story. If Thanos had lost to Hulk it would have been a really short movie.

[scribblingjoe]

I think the writers wrote Thanos stronger than the Hulk because they couldn't think of a clever way for Thanos to win the fight.

[PiiskaJesusFreak]

If you look at the grip Thanos uses to free himself of Hulks stranglehold, you'll notice that it is a type of move that does not work unless you are significantly stronger than your adversary. That scene clearly shows Thanos to be stronger, and the beatdown that follows shows Thanos to also be much more skilled.

If Russos wanted to portray Thanos only as more skilled and not also physically more powerful, they should have made Thanos free himself in some other manouver. Thanos is in a position of weakness and Hulk in position of strength, yet Thanos still overpowers him.

The 2008 hulk no doubt would give infinity war thanos a better fight

[stephandelange]

Usually, if you follow the Hulk's history, the more your push him, the more pissed-off he gets. (Meaning the more powerful & dangerous he gets).
But as much as I love Mark Ruffalo's Hulk character, " he's a lot funnier" I only have one problem with it. He never seems to get the Hulk as scary and as high-end pissed as Edward Norton's Hulk was. Which could've turned the tide.
So back to the point. If hulk would have gotten as angry and ferocious as he was in Johannesburg city, maybe the dual with Thanos would've turned a bit different. Just my opinion!

[t-money..]

He is saying that the Hulk was barely transformed when he fought Thanos, but he was Hulk at the end of Ragnorok after fighting the wolf and punching Surtur. I’m pretty sure he had enough rage in him. Not disputing everything else he was saying in the video, just that

[mckid]

I just heard of the stand alone hulk movie they wanna make based on World War Hulk and 2 days later(today) the directors say Hulk is still stronger than Thanos? Without showing it in any movie thus far? Coincidence? No. They are hyping Hulk up this early so they have the next however long til the movie comes out to keep hyping World War Hulk up to the younger Audience to sell more tickets is all that is about

[michaelday]

I thought thanos “used” the power stone. It wasn’t evident but that, to me would have given thanos an edge on a base level hulk

[thebiblenerd]

The problem I see with this is that at one point in the fight, Thanos does simply out muscles the Hulk. This happens when the Hulk has his hands around the neck of Thanos, and Thano grabs the Hulk each of his hands and is able to remove them. This is actually even more impressive because the muscles used to pull the arms off of him are normally not as strong as the those by which Hulk was using to hold him. If they were simply trying to show that Thanos was a much more skilled fighter, they could have shown a skill move that allows a much weaker person to break free. It involves twisting your body to the side, while bringing your arm up at a 90 degree angle and then driving your triceps down with force. This will break the choke hold. The fact that they did show Thanos out muscling the Hulk was intentional and it was because they were really trying to show how formidable Thanos really was. Yes, it is possible that Hulk was not enraged enough to be at his strongest, but that seems weak to me as a reason considering what Thanos had just done to the ship and the people on it.

Another inconsistancy involved how Thor and Hulk were able to knock each other nearly out of the arena, but when Hulk and Thanos fought, they mostly stood toe to toe. Each punch, by either one of them should have sent them crashing into and likely through some of the walls of the spacecraft. If you suggest that they were holding back so as not to destroy and outer wall giving an opening to space, then they should not have been able to hurt each other.

If hulk got angry enough, he could swat Thanos like a fly. Hulk wasn't especially angry at the beginning of the fight and after being so soundly trounced, he was probably becoming more afraid than angry. This was illustrated by hulk's unwillingness to come back out after the fight.

[apurvaaryan]

Afterall he is the strongest avenger even through Tony's standards.

[greasycheese]

This whole video ignores that hulk still beat abomination, which is a monster with the combat skill of the guy

[Kirin]

Hulk got nerfed 😭
I know that he is physically stronger than Thanos.
