20 Things You Somehow Missed In Avengers: Infinity War

15. Bruce Doesn't Get What He Wants

There were some wonderful callbacks throughout Avengers: Infinity War to the previous decade of storytelling from Marvel. Some were more obvious than others, and this one from Bruce Banner may have gone completely unnoticed by many.

Way back when Natasha first recruited Bruce Banner to help find the Tesseract, he threatened that the Other Guy making an appearance was a real possibility. Nat suggested that Bruce wouldn't want that, to which he replied that he didn't always get what he wanted.

Fast forward a few years and Bruce finds himself back on Earth after the Hulk had his butt kicked by Thanos. This time Tony asks him if he wants to fight Cull Obsidian and Ebony Maw on the streets of New York, to which he answers no, but when does he ever get what he wants?

Bruce Banner went through so much between the events of The Avengers and Infinity War, including spending countless years on Sakaar, but nothing really changed for him. He was still cursed with the Hulk, at least until he figured out how to put the brains and the brawn together a few years later.
