Some Thoughts On Hulk:
- At the end of Incredible Hulk Banner opened his eyes with some ambiguous satisfaction. The talk of the town was whether he made a heel turn or finally had control of it. Banner's payoff line at the end of Avengers, after alluding to some 'secret' for the whole movie, imo finally answered the question IH raised in that last shot. For the most part, he is always in control.
- Hulk busting loose on the Helicarrier was preceded by the big group argument, that heavily hinted that they were all subtly under the influence of Loki's scepter. Look at their eyes and gestures of headaches from a few of them. Also listen to the unease music. The camera angles were also shot with discomfort, particularly during Thor's line about them being petty (and small!). This same kind of psychological mindfuck shot was used when Widow was watching over Hawkeye after is face-turn, and he was describing how it was to be under Loki's control. I figure Hulk going crazy at the base was an extension of that anger, as it was Loki's play all along.
- Hulk does not reason well, but several movies shows that he himself his a hero. The shot in Ang Lee's Hulk where he jumps on a jet to save the bridge. The entire third act of Incredible Hulk, too. When Banner unleashed Hulk at the final battle, he knew who the bad guys were. He did, however, remember his brawl with Thor and he certainly got the last word there.
