one of the most confusing fights from my childhood

“You think you can live with it? Take it! TAKE IT ALL!”

At

The most accurate Hulk in cinema. Less of a superhero and more of an inevitable force of nature

I remember watching this as a kid and did not really understand what was going on. And now understanding it as a adult it really hits deep how sad this movie actually was. They need to make another Hulk movie with the same depth as the comics.

I don’t know if anyone has already said this in the comments, but this scene is powerful for a couple reasons. Obviously I think he wants the Hulk part of him to be taken away so he doesn’t have to live with that part of him anymore, but I also believe that because it shows his memories forming just before he screams ‘take it all’ that it also means he wants all the painful memories gone. Just an outstanding movie. Very underrated.

What makes me enjoyed the ending more is the metaphor of how intense Bruce’s trauma, anger and hatred which becomes so unbearable to his father it ends up killing him. Speaks volume of how much he hated his father and I’m sure during the last of his father’s moments absorbing he sees and feels exactly why Bruce felt all these intense feelings. Kind of like a ‘fuck you’ to his father hence “You think you can live with it? Take it” and his father just couldn’t live with the immeasurable amount of anger and trauma he gave Bruce. It’s not that deep really but I absolutely adore not taking things as surface value

I knew as a kid it was because Hulk was basically a powerhouse, but rewatching it now it all makes MUCH more sense. “Take it all” to Absorption Man yelling “It’s not stopping! Take it back!” Realizing he can’t control that much power

The fact that hulk just gives it "all" and his dad dies from all that power. Just shows this hulk has infinite power

His power is fueled by his anger. He had literally so much hate for his father that the power he was giving him was too much for him to handle despite the dads ability was literally absorbing anything. Even without the nuke he probably would of exploded. The "Take it all" quote and the dads groans of pain gave me goosebumps when I first saw this.

Probably one of the coolest most subversive fights in a superhero movie. You couldn’t predict how hulk was gonna defeat absorbing man until it happened.

This fight scene truly exemplifies Hulk's power. The angrier he gets, the stronger he gets.

HE Learned the hard way.

I remember watching this movie as a kid and the part at

Absorbing Man didn't account for the fact that he is taking all of Bruce's sorrow, pain and suffering as well.

This is the fight that convinced me of how powerful hulk really was, he literally defeated a body less entity with his rage alone.

Almost every early 2000's superhero movie feels like it's in the same universe

I've never seen a better depiction of Hulk's anger than the part that starts at

Just watching this scene reminds me of how much of an artist Ang Lee is.

Their battle among the stormclouds at the beginning is brilliant. We only see these separate powerful images, like we're reading a comic book in the flash of lightning.
