Hulk is one of the most complex comic book characters, and adaptations tend to scratch the surface of how much of a deeply traumatized and psychologically fractured character both Hulk and Bruce Banner respectfully are. This movie may be cheesy and have weird CGI. Still, you cannot deny they actually did a great job displaying how interesting Hulk and Bruce as a character can be, especially with his trauma from his mother's death and his own father's emotional manipulation and physical abuse. It's a modern-day Jekyll and Hyde that reflects the inner anger and inability to process deep-seated trauma channelling inside Bruce to eventually become the Hulk, and despite how much they to proclaim to hate each other, they protect each other. That's why I wish the MCU could go back to what made the Hulk such an interesting character, not just because he's an almost unbeatable rage-filled force of destruction, but his psychology and mental struggle. Though I understand why we have Professor Hulk ever since Endgame, I feel like that direction for the character has overstayed its welcome without truly diving into the process of growth and mental stability that lead to Bruce and Hulk becoming one person and how there is so much more to him than general audiences only get a glimpse of.
