    I’ll accept whatever the premise of the thing asks of me to enjoy the story; that dragons exist, the main character finds a real spellbook, there’s a secret community of shapeshifters, or that there’s a long-lost secret artifact with magical properties. It’s not a documentary.

    But breaking internal logic is different. Unless someone’s mentioned time travel, it’s still a huge issue that it was Sunday in one scene and Friday in another on the same day.

    Some people hate ‘The Hulk’ because they can buy genetic mutation that turns him giant and green, sure… But where the fuck is the extra body mass coming from? You can’t just gain weight from nothing. Yes, magic does exist in the MCU, but he didn’t get his powers from magic, did he?!

      My understanding is that hulk gets his strength (and size/mass) from his anger. So in the universe, anger must have energy that hulk converts to mass

        Right… but then anger itself would require huge amounts of calories. You can’t just create energy.

          Perhaps its pulled from another dimension, like Cyclop’s laser from the DCU, or maybe it’s another force of the universe, like the speed force also from the DCU. There’s endless ways to explain it.

          The gamma does turn him green. Maybe that’s not just stylistic, maybe he’s photosynthesizing.

            Sunlight only contains so much energy. Even if he’s managing to metabolise every bit with no loss, there’s not nearly enough light hitting him at any one moment for that to really make sense. If he’s always photosynthesising and his body storing it for later somehow… he’d put on a huge amount of weight in his non-Hulk form.
