10 MCU Storylines The Comics Did Better

5. Thor: Ragnarok Did Not Have Time To Do Planet Hulk Justice

In addition to slightly missing the mark with the end of Asgard, Thor: Ragnarok gave audiences a very surface-level exploration of one of the Hulk's most iconic storylines. To be fair, the Jolly Green Giant was a supporting character in the third Thor entry, and this meant that Planet Hulk was not going to receive an adaptation worthy of the mighty hero.

Much like Ragnarok itself, elements such as Sakaar, Korg and the gladiatorial battles felt like means to an end (that being reuniting Thor and Hulk) rather than a well-realized locale, characters and events.

The actual Planet Hulk story is a far cry from the zany and colorful events of the film as it demonstrates the Hulk's sheer might and the threat posed by the gladiatorial planet to beings as powerful as the Jolly Green Giant.

Some fans have bemoaned the Hulk's less savage, more controlled nature in recent films and with a story such as Planet Hulk in the mix, it is understandable as to why they would want the iconic powerhouse to let loose again.
