Hulk Contradicts Earlier Infertility Comment By Revealing His Son Skaar To Black Widow
Dialogue
Overview
This 6-panel comedic meme uses clips from Marvel Cinematic Universe films and series to joke about a plot inconsistency. In the first panel, Bruce Banner (Hulk) tells Black Widow he cannot have children, referencing a scene from Avengers: Age of Ultron. Black Widow responds in the second panel that she also cannot have children, another plot point from the same film. The third panel shows Black Widow asking Hulk to turn their ship around, and Hulk dismisses her with "NAH" in the fourth panel. The fifth panel cuts to a scene from She-Hulk: Attorney at Law where Bruce Banner introduces his adult son Skaar. The sixth panel shows Black Widow looking confused and exasperated, highlighting the contradiction of Bruce previously claiming he could not have children, only to reveal a fully grown son later in the MCU timeline. The joke pokes fun at Marvel's retcon of Hulk's established infertility plot point.
