This article explores the enduring legacy of the Hulk in cinema, highlighting his iconic moments in both 'The Incredible Hulk' and 'The Avengers'.

The Hulk has been a prominent Marvel character since his debut in May 1962. Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the 'big three' of Marvel were Wolverine, Spider-Man, and the Hulk . His popularity has endured and remains strong among fans and the general public. While his film distribution rights prevented a solo film after 'The Incredible Hulk ,' he has become a central figure in the MCU through appearances in other movies.

He is a key character in the 'Avengers' franchise and has played a major role in the 'Thor' series. So, even though he hasn't headlined his own film in a while, he has kept his fame alive through these other notable appearances in the MCU. One of the most iconic scenes in Hulk's cinematic history is the final battle against Abomination in 'The Incredible Hulk' (2008). When fans express their desires for how the character could be portrayed in future films, this scene often comes to mind. It's incredibly rewatchable. The rage and animalistic portrayal of the Hulk in this fight is arguably the best we've seen in his films. The Hulk has some truly memorable moments in this battle, such as using cars as boxing gloves. While 'The Incredible Hulk' isn't a perfect film, it truly captures the essence of what makes the Hulk so compelling. The scene not only portrays the character well but also includes some of the most iconic imagery of him in his film appearances.Another legendary scene for the character in cinema is found in his second MCU appearance, 'The Avengers' (2012). A consistent point of conflict in 'The Avengers' is the threat the Hulk poses to the population of the Helicarrier. This conflict reaches its climax when Bruce Banner loses control of the monster within. The Strongest Avenger basically destroys the flying S.H.I.E.L.D. base. After he falls from it, his whereabouts are unknown as the final battle begins in New York. When he reappears at the start of the invasion, everyone is uncertain of him. However, when Iron Man leads a monster toward them, Bruce demonstrates that he does have some control over the Hulk with the iconic line: 'That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry.' This moment is one of the most notable in the film, marking Bruce's character arc coming full circle and finally uniting the Avengers as a team.
