In The Incredible Hulk, after he turns green, he warns the soldiers: “Leave me alone”. On top of the fact his warning bears a moral concern – the concern he might hurt the weak – the sentence is clear.

Also in The Incredible Hulk, during his confrontation with the Abomination, he says: “Hulk, smash”, as if to voice his plan of attack. Eventually – and this one is the height of all soppy scenes involving the Hulk – he wipes Betty’s tears and says her name.

Sure, there is the hilarious “Puny god” phrase he spits out after he crushes Loki in Stark’s tower in The Avengers. That’s a funny goofy line that will always make me laugh. Or at least put a smile on my face, depending on my mood.

5. The Hulk thinks. He infers what’s right

It’s not all about smashing around. If this is his ultimate “strategy”, the Hulk also, well, reasons. In The Incredible Hulk, when he goes after the Abomination, he is selective. He doesn’t hurt other people, his goal is set.
