Okay, let’s get real for a second — after Captain America: Brave New World , I’ve never wanted the OG Savage Hulk back more than I do right now. And no, I’m not talking about “Smart Hulk.” I mean the big, green, rage-fueled monster who used to smash things so hard they exploded just from being looked at funny.
Yes, we finally got a taste of Red Hulk on screen — thanks to Thaddeus Ross’ explosive transformation — and while his time was short, it reminded us of something important: rage is cool again . And if there’s one guy who knows how to throw down with raw power, it’s the original Hulk we all fell in love with.

💥 Red Hulk Was Cool — But It Made Me Miss Savage Hulk Even More
Let’s be honest: seeing Harrison Ford’s General Ross turn into the Red Hulk was awesome. His design? Gnarly. His strength? Off the charts. His ability to go toe-to-toe with Sam Wilson’s Captain America? Unmatched. But here’s the kicker — watching Red Hulk smash stuff also made me miss the real Hulk — the one who didn’t need a PhD to punch a portal through dimensions.
Since Avengers: Endgame , Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner has been stuck as “Smart Hulk ” — a version of the character that merged his brainpower with the Hulk’s body. It was a clever way to show how much time had passed post-Snap… but come on, it’s been over five years in-universe and even longer in real life. Isn’t it time to bring back the Savage Hulk ?
🧠 Smart Hulk Had Its Moment — Now Let Him Go Wild Again
Look, “Smart Hulk” was a fun twist — like a superhero philosopher who could bench-press a tank while quoting Nietzsche. But part of what made Hulk such a compelling character was the struggle between Banner and the beast inside him. That push-and-pull was the core of his identity — and we’ve barely seen it since 2019.
Enter She-Hulk: Attorney at Law . Remember when Jennifer Walters revealed that Bruce had built a Hulk Inhibitor Device , letting him stay human full-time? Well, maybe that tech isn’t done messing with him yet. What if stress, trauma, or multiversal madness causes the device to fail spectacularly — turning Bruce back into the Savage Hulk we know and miss?

🌍 Why Avengers: Doomsday Is The Perfect Time For A Hulk Evolution
We’re heading into Phase 6 , where Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are going to face threats bigger than Thanos — like Doctor Doom and full-blown multiversal collapse . If that sounds like the kind of situation where you’d want someone who can smash reality itself, then yeah — we need the OG Hulk back.
Think about it:
- Multiversal chaos = unpredictable situations.
- Unpredictable situations = perfect conditions for uncontrolled rage.
- Uncontrolled rage = Savage Hulk reactivated.
Imagine the moment: Smart Hulk trying to keep calm and calculate under pressure, but everything goes sideways — boom! Green lightning strikes, the ground shakes, and suddenly he’s smashing with zero chill. Cue the classic roar and the return of the Jade Giant .
🔁 The Circle Of Hulk Life Needs To Be Complete
There’s poetic justice in bringing Hulk back to his roots. He started off as a misunderstood brute, evolved into a philosophical powerhouse, and now… maybe it’s time to go full circle. Not forever — but just long enough to remind everyone why he was an Avenger in the first place.
And honestly? After seeing Red Hulk flex his rage-fueled muscles, it’s clear the MCU needs more of that chaotic energy — especially with Robert Downey Jr. returning as Doctor Doom .
So please, Marvel — give us the Savage Hulk comeback we’ve been waiting for. Because if Avengers: Doomsday doesn’t end with the Hulk smacking Doom into next Tuesday — what even is the point?
