The Hulk is one of Marvel’s all-time classic characters - and some of this enduring appeal is surely due to the character’s key conflict: the struggle for control between Bruce Banner and Hulk himself. Across various continuities and adaptations, this key dynamic has remained at the heart of the character. In this video, we’ll look at two of the most successful recent Hulk adaptations - the one from Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and the one from the MCU - and assess how interesting and how healthy these versions’ Bruce/Hulk relationships are!
PS. It's been pointed out to me since creating this video that the term 'multiple personality disorder' is outdated and can be considered offensive - I wasn't aware, but to anyone reading this: don't use that term!
