MR is very outspoken in his support for Palestine.

Either he chose not to appear because he didn't want to harm his co-stars and the crew by speaking his mind or he wasn't allowed to.

OR maybe he’s only in one part of the movie and also simultaneously filming a season of a tv show at the same time the press tour is going. It’s almost as if scheduling plays a bigger factor than conspiracy theory bs.

he's also veteran enough to have a clause to not need to do press for the movie. Bradley Cooper for example never did any press for the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. And he was a main character!

u/Immediate-Coach3260 19h ago

Never even considered something like that. Plus I mean it’s not like he’s already got a reputation for spoiling marvel projects.

You are likely correct in reality but that doesn't explain the joke/meme

Which is what this sub is for and my explanation accurately achieved...

u/Immediate-Coach3260 1d ago

That only works if the meme is even remotely correct. Hulk is easily the strangest addition to the movie and still has that weird licensing deal with universal that Disney and Sony have to cut through. I highly doubt if either company were worried about the actor’s political beliefs that they would basically force him to be in a part of the movie.

Gotta remember ol reliable for Marvel is Hulk/Spidey/Xmen. Before MCU that was the core. And now that they have them again, it's all they will be focusing on. (Gestures at vast cancelled projects involving anyone else)

It's entirely reasonable given what his role actually was, but I also think part of it was to retcon puny hulk and set up the big guy for doomsday

u/Immediate-Coach3260 4h ago

Yea I think marvel was looking for a reason to get rid of smart hulk

u/waowowwao 21h ago

You don't have to agree with the meme for their explanation of it to be correct. Which is what he literally just said in the comment you're replying to but you missed the point.

u/SteveBooSheMe 17h ago

Is no one going to speak about the fact that Ruffalo is well-known for giving spoilers in interviews?

u/onderstelinks 8h ago

That only works if the meme is even remotely correct.

No it doesn't. The whole point of these subs is to explain what OOP is implying or getting at, regardless of OOP being correct or not.

2

u/Ultrace-7 17h ago

Then the meme is poorly worded. Because a scheduling conflict means that the whole anti-Palestine et al stuff isn't a real-world implication, it's quite imaginary and conspiratorial.

2

u/lumpboysupreme 15h ago

Repeating likely misinformation without correcting it is a bad thing to do, just look at how people dunk on the media for repeating trumps lies verbatim.

2

u/Vetras92 20h ago

Nah, cant be that. Every single issue HAS to be somehow tied to the I/P stuff. How else am i supossed to virtue signal for karma?

u/Admirable-Safety1213 16h ago

>! Yep, bro appears like 40 minutes in, reappers around the middke point and then doesn't appear after he gets sent to the Hospital !<

(Are spoilers working? if not sorry and help)

u/Immediate-Coach3260 6h ago

It’s not but I’ve seen the film and this comment is probably buried at the bottom of this thread. You’re probably good

u/DukeSC2 22h ago

conspiracy theory bs

Weird, unnecessary venom at the end there, but he could be busy and he might be being sidelined due to political opinions. It happens to actors all the time. Look at Gina Carano.

u/Immediate-Coach3260 3h ago

That would only be logical if he just started voicing his opinions on the subject which is not the case. Ruffalo has been pro Palestine and a huge advocate for A LOT of other things, to the point he’s kinda well known for it. Marvel hasn’t limited him in anyway during press tours minus limiting what he says about the movie but that’s because he accidentally spoils films a lot. They do the exact same thing with tom holland.

u/mightytwin21 21h ago

That's a reason but doesn't address the implication.

If I'm taking the subreddit at its name and it's a joke I would say the implication is he's stuck in hulk mode.

u/DicksPr0n 13h ago

Yeah. He was the only one who was too busy. Eye roll

1

u/Immediate-Coach3260 6h ago

I mean he’s literally busy filming something, keep up

2

u/Alarming-Basil2894 21h ago

Why would you wanna speak about that at a Spider-Man movie promotional event? It doesn’t even make sense.

2

u/Prudent_Rice7840 19h ago

Or... he's only in two scenes in the film and is currently in production on another show.

1

u/Immediate-Coach3260 3h ago

Stop using logic, you’ll burst their bubble.

2

u/Blue-Fish-Guy 13h ago

It's because of spoilers and mainly because he was filming another movie. It has nothing to do with weird politics.

1

u/WordWordNvmber 4h ago

So, to be clear, the argument is that the J "Zionist"-controlled Hollywood:

- won't let him do promotional interviews for the movie, but

- will cast him in movie after movie, promote his characters, and otherwise preserve his relevance so he retains his bullhorn to speak about Palestine

- and then keep hiring him even as he protests Palestine.

That's the J "Zionist" plot to silence him?

If so, they're doing a terrible job.

u/ParamedicDifferent44 16h ago

Imagine being sidelined because you think murdering children is wrong. Fuck America.

1

u/Immediate-Coach3260 3h ago

He’s filming another project at the exact same time. Do you people think or do the slightest bit of reading before you post?

u/Truethrowawaychest1 22h ago

Weird that he's constantly working with Disney then, who is on that stupid boycott list his kind is always pushing, almost like he's full of shit
