Within the subtext of it all, this is a big move for a character like Bruce.

The science behind this doesn’t make a ton of sense, but it’s a superhero franchise.

Bruce needed to return to Sakaar for some mysterious reason.

Eventually, he did make his way to Sakaar, but this is never shown.

It makes sense for his development to make him find love again, but not like that.

For such a big moment in his personal life, why skip over it?

Fans have an idea of what happened, but never saw it in action.

In 2008, this really wasn’t much of a big deal.

This seems like a lot of experience to have missed out on to just be brushed over.

When Tony Stark and Bruce Banner try to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping program called Ultron, things go horribly wrong and it’s up to Earth’s mightiest heroes to stop the villainous Ultron from enacting his terrible plan.

This would lead to Bruce suiting up in (ironically) the Hulkbuster armor tofight the good fightin Wakanda.
