In Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark may have been the one who died sacrificing himself for the world when he got rid of Thanos and his crew, but it was the Hulk who brought everyone back after they were dusted in Avengers: Infinity War.
Now, one eagle-eyed fan has revealed that Spider-Man: Far From Home totally snubbed Mark Ruffalo’s Smart Hulk and we didn’t even notice it!
In the movie, we see how the world is recovering after the events of Endgame and in the first few scenes of the movie we are updated on The Blip and The Snap thanks to Midtown Science’s morning announcements.
While explaining how the Avengers fought Thanos and brought back those who were dusted, the screen shows promo shots of some of the heroes involved in defeating him. But the Hulk isn’t included!
One fan even commented about how strange it was that Bucky Barnes was included in the photo despite the fact he was a wanted criminal during most of his time in the MCU.
Smart Hulk was the one who was chosen to use the Infinity Stones to bring everyone back because it was assumed that he would be able to survive any level of radiation from the Stones. While he was correct, his arm was permanently damaged by The Blip.
What’s even funnier about the Far From Home graphic is the fact that Black Panter, Scarlett Witch and Bucky Barnes made it in despite the fact they were all dusted and therefore had nothing to do with The Blip and bringing everyone back. However, they did, of course, play a part in the final battle so there is that, I guess.
It’s also interesting to note that Smart Hulk is missing from the graphic because he became somewhat of a celebrity during the five-year time jump and was seen posing for photos with excited fans in Endgame.
Sadly, now that Spider-Man is no longer part of the MCU, we won’t expect to see him interacting with any Marvel characters in the future. Unless a miraculous deal is somehow made between Sony and Marvel in the foreseeable future, but we’re not holding our breath…
