Thor: Ragnarok
After beingbeaten by Thanos inInfinity War , the Hulk will get his chance at a replay comeAvengers : Endgame . But what if Hulk ’s defeat is n’t due to Thanos being inviolable , or more experienced … but because Marvel quietly aged Hulkthousands of yearswithout fans observe ?
Whatever the reason for his frustration , nobody was more surprised then Hulk himself . After do a heroic restitution inThor : Ragnarok , Hulk ’s loss has launch Bruce Banner on a brand Modern path , now that his fleeceable alter ego is n’t coming out to play . Since there are pinch thatHulk IS part of theEndgamemission , that ’s become to change . But if he ’s really as ancient and immortal as the MCU has apparently made him , it may really be wisdom and experience thatgive Hulk an advantage over Thanos . Hulk ’s body may be failing after millennia spent fight down , but Bruce Banner ’s brain is still smart as a whip .
As hard as it may be to believe , we ’re uncoerced to bet that lover will amply accept Hulk being immortal , countenance alone thousands of old age previous than the Avengers if it meansmerging into Professor Hulk(uniting the unspoiled of both Banner and Hulk ) . And if the heroes manage to shoot down Thanos , then Hulk will get over his fail strength in clip . But if rooter are question where our Assumption of Mary amount from of Hulk ’s reliable biological age , the mystery is n’t hard to solve . Fans just were n’t calculate for it .
The absence of Hulk from the MCU is gratefully now a distant memory , even if the movies have n’t in reality portion out with the reason he abandoned his squad at the end ofThe Avengers : Age of Ultron . While Bruce Banner would have had reasons to run forth from his guilt over creating Ultron , it was in reality Hulk who jell a Quinjet on sail , and sat back to enjoy the stars . And it was Hulk who was still in ascendancy when Thor discovered himon the planet Sakaar in Ragnarok . It was eventually explain that Hulk ’s Quinjet had indeed entered space , gotten sucked into a wormhole , and spit out on Sakaar .
While Thor was seen as a piece of trash , a being like Hulk overhear the middle of The Grandmaster , and presently became his booster of the prizefighter arena . There he struggle until Thor showed up , wake up Banner up to reclaim restraint , and realized the honest doctor had no memory of the two years that had blow over sinceAge of Ultron ’s final scene . Well … two years on Earth .
ButThor : Ragnarokmakes a gunpoint of showing how time passes"differently"on Sakaar when Thor and Loki confidential information up strand on the satellite after fall through wormhole of their own . That ’s thanks to Hela manage to dock them through the spatial bridge formed by Bifrost – tossing each of them free from its beam and into uncivilized space . For Thor , his locomotion to Sakaar is instant . But when he meets Loki , it ’s revealed that while the God of Mischief leave Bifrost just consequence earlier , he arrived on Sakaar"weeks"before Thor . When you do the math , that difference mean cock-a-hoop things for Hulk ’s own time spent on the cosmic junkyard planet .
Doing the precise mathematics , Loki departs the Bifrost to be gathered up by a wormhole and sprinkle out onto Sakaar exactly 11 seconds before Thor , resulting in"weeks"of conflict . If we sham a minimum definition of " week " as just 15 days , that intend one s of time outdoors of Sakaar ( be it on Earth , in space , or any other parallel woodworking plane ) equates to 117,818 seconds on Sakaar – or 1.36 day . That might not seem like an hideous character of relativity , but take into bill thefull two years Hulk was missing , that means 235,000 years passed on Sakaar while the Avengers were living through just two . If Loki was concern to a stoppage closer to say , 22 sidereal day , one 2nd would equal two solar day in Sakaar … that ’s 345,000 years .
The film make a point of confirming the warping of metre on Sakaar when The Grandmaster state that"Time work a little different around these role . On any other human race , I ’d be like , millions of age old . “That age for certain fits with our own calculations , and would n’t in reality have to refer to biological time at all . In the modern Marvel Comics , The Grandmaster andthe Hulk are BOTH immortal . Bruce Banner would n’t lie with the dispute locked off inside Hulk ’s thinker , but Hulk ’s immortal hair turn to Zane Grey proves even his magnate has limit .
There is obviously squirm room in the cathartic at work here : how does time communicate differently through unlike wormholes , would Hulk ’s batch alter that relativity , and when on the dot did he leave Earth ’s orbit ? But no matter what , it ’s a question of tens of thousands , if not hundreds of thou of eld Hulk drop on Sakaar . Will all that experience be used for what come next in Avengers : Endgame ? Did Hulk actually find out anything useful along the way ? And will the Avengers ever really teach thatHulkis now a more ancient warrior than any they ’ve fight thus far ? Only clock time ( andAvengers : Endgame ) will assure .
