A memorable meme of this scene likened the 5 Avengers to the five stages of grief. Thor represented denial, Hulk was anger, Clint was bargaining, Steve was melancholy, and Tony represented acceptance.
As a result of Hulk was about frustration, he subsequently picked up a heavy park bench and flung it into the air, touchdown someplace in a close-by forested space. There was by no means a cutaway displaying the place the bench landed, although.
On the time, it was by no means thought-about necessary. Effectively, not till followers needed to know who may need had the bench land on them. Solely on social media would such a query be requested.
The Russo Brothers gave a midway critical reply in a current Q&A
Not too long ago, a person on Reddit posted a thread concerning the Russos answering the Hulk/park bench question throughout a current on-line Q&A chat. The Q&A occurred on Twitter the place the Russos answered choose questions straight.
When somebody requested the place the park bench landed, the Russos had a fast reply: It landed on…Frank Fortress. In fact, Fortress is The Punisher and was performed by Jon Bernthal within the authentic Netflix collection.
