Sensitive Hulk

After several films where the adorably shambling Mark Ruffalo would transform into an inarticulate muscle monster, “Avengers: Endgame” springs one last surprise: Now that the Hulk and Banner have become better integrated, the big green guy can converse so naturally that you’ll go, “Whoa whoa whoa, is that Noah Centineo?”

When we catch up with the Hulk after a five-year time skip, he’s also ditched his frayed purple-shorts look for a more sophisticated glow-up of Warby Parkers and knit cardigans, but it’s his new personality that really completes the makeover. Hulk is no longer just a meathead hunk; now, he’s a meathead hunk with a surprisingly nimble comic touch. In other words, they turned Hulk into a Hemsworth.

Thicc Thor

Perhaps that’s a fitting trade, as Chris Hemsworth’s own Avenger has seen better days when it comes to his fitness. When Thor is reintroduced after the big time skip, the whole notion of the gratuitous Marvel shirtless scene is turned on its head: Hemsworth’s unkempt god has let himself go, trading his superhero physique for a transformational beer gut. (You can almost picture Christian Bale leaning over to his movie date and whispering, “Only amateurs use special effects.”)

But this is a new Thor, one who won’t let the occasional crack from Tony Stark get him down: The only tweak Thor sees fit to make to his new appearance is a nifty beard braid before the final battle. Thicc Thor is all about body positivity, drinking beer, and reminding everyone that he once dated Natalie Portman, and who can blame the big guy?
