Surprised they released this preview so early - it's pretty spoilery!
spoilers:end of spoilers
So we know a little more about what happened in El Paso now, but still not what "Betty" is. I feel this has to have some personal tie to Bruce. His father's spirit again? His mother's (corrupted)?
The new Celestial Hulkbuster looks... pretty decent. It'll be interesting to see Tony & Thor's reaction to "Titan".
"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
Here come that Donny Cates famous understanding of power levels... Hulk being bombarded with the power of 100 000 exploding stars... bruh...
Yeah, the Battleboards are gonna love that
Interesting how Thor's eyes are light and Hulk's are dark. Could be a revist of the whole Knull/Capt Universe thing especially given the whole Celestial stuff. Maybe when Hulk was taken over by Venom/attacked by Knull some of him/them was left behind? And the whole 6th/7th cosmos stuff Cates did and Ewing's 9th cosmos stuff and how they talked about swapping titles.
Oh, she absolutely would have helped to save Bruce. However, I agree that it would have served Joe right that she just bailed on him right after he bared his soul. It’s the perfect payback for him bailing on her when she was pregnant to live in Las Vegas during PAD’s run.
Her bailing on Joe at that moment is just questionable when Banner still needed to be saved.
Then again, she was still planning to leave despite Banner needing to be saved anyways, it could be thought that she left because she thinks Joe hasn't changed and he won't save Banner I guess, though that makes you wonder about what she was doing during this, since I'm pretty sure she doesn't know much about the below place, much less how to access it, so, if we ignore that she was in Defenders, ya gotta wonder what the hell she was doing when she left lol.
I also don't see why she couldn't just be in the final chapters, and then she leaves to be in the Defenders, maybe it's to explain why Betty isn't around in Cates' Hulk run, but that run itself already ignores Immortal Hulk a lot, Betty not being around would be the least of its problems continuity-wise.
Guess it'll mean that Hulk will then lose to Sentry, y'know, a million exploding stars and all .
Jokes aside, where is 100k stars from? I don't see it in the preview, is it mentioned in another preview?
Ironically Sentry himself couldn't withstand the heat of the original human torch, who doesn't radiate the power of a single exploding star, let alone million like Sentry is suppose to. although that Sentry statement isnt even consistent because sometimes it's mentioned to be a million and sometimes thousand.
It's mentioned in the preview in the last page "and the Celestial judgement of a hundred thousand exploding stars".
Possible theory-maybe Titan (or Betty) is a corrupted devil somehow, back from the dead but "came back wrong"? After all certain Hulk personas can be 'tweaked'-Doc Green and Kluh were pretty much just Savage Hulk with Extremis for example.
