Video summary

In this reaction video to the 2009 animated film *Hulk vs. Wolverine*, host Don from The Don Show and Friends dives into one of his favorite fight sequences, highlighting the brutal intensity that defines the encounter between these two Marvel icons. He begins by reflecting on the tragic psychological toll Bruce Banner faces as a character who is constantly hunted like a monster despite possessing immense power capable of breaking the earth in half. This inherent sadness sets the stage for the violence to follow, emphasizing that Hulk's rampage against Wolverine is not just an action spectacle but a depiction of a desperate creature trying to survive while being perceived as a threat by everyone around him. The core of Don's commentary focuses on the overwhelming disparity between Hulk's raw strength and healing factor versus Wolverine's regenerative abilities. He repeatedly points out how many times in this specific fight, without his healing factor, Wolverine would have been permanently killed or left incapacitated after being smashed into walls, knocked through water, or crushed by rocks lifted from mountains. Don expresses shock at the sheer brutality of Hulk's attacks, noting that even when Wolverine survives these near-fatal blows due to his regeneration, he is often reduced to a broken state where only his healing ability prevents him from dying instantly. The host finds it hilarious yet terrifying how easily Hulk dismantles Logan, treating each hit as if it were merely a warm-up exercise while the audience watches in disbelief at the frequency of Wolverine's "deaths." Beyond the physical combat, Don discusses the chaotic nature of the fight and critiques certain narrative choices made by the filmmakers regarding Sabertooth. He recalls reading early 90s comics where similar brutal scenarios occurred with Riverine (likely a misremembered reference to another character or event) breaking out of labs and harming scientists, admitting he hid those issues from his mother because they were so graphic that even as a child, he found them too intense for her. He argues that releasing Sabertooth while she was still conscious and powerful after being knocked around by Hulk was irresponsible storytelling, suggesting the writers should have incapacitated all threats to avoid unnecessary danger. Despite these criticisms about plot holes or risky decisions, Don remains a huge fan of Wolverine and appreciates how this animated series allowed for extended dialogue from Hulk that wasn't possible in live-action films at the time. Ultimately, while wishing there were more episodes or a full-length movie dedicated solely to expanding on these brutal hand-to-hand clashes with bone-breaking intensity, Don concludes by expressing his enduring love for this specific matchup between Hulk and Wolverine. He notes that unlike many other scenes he reacts to, this one never gets old because it perfectly captures the essence of both characters' strengths and weaknesses in a visceral way. As he wraps up the video while rebuilding his channel, he thanks his viewers for sticking around and invites them to suggest future fight scene reactions, promising to continue exploring these favorite moments from comic book history that blend high-stakes action with deep character commentary.

I'm laughing because I'm excited because this is one of my favorite um anime movies of watching different scenes of the Hulk kind of have his experience dealing with Wolverine, also dealing with like uh Deadpool, Sabertooth, and then we even got Thor on here.

So, we're going to do a recap on this one. All right. So, hope you enjoy. All right. Let's tap in. >> Where have you? >> I know it has to be. >> No. Stay back. Stay away from me. And I think that was one of the biggest things like as a kid growing up watching all the Hulk TV shows and um reading the comic books as a kid. One thing I learned real fast, it had to be very depressing to be Bruce Banner trying to have a a a life. Like if you didn't know anything else about The Hulk and Bruce Banner, the one thing you can get from it just watching if if you never read a book, right? You would be like, yo, it had to be very depressing. You try to set yourself up a basic life and then the world is looking looking for you because they look at you as a monster. You got this Hulk that has the strength to break the earth in half if it if it wanted to. It has to be depressing, especially afterwards because you imagine the psychological part of after you turn into a Hulk. That's crazy. Like it it it couldn't be no feel good after everything. Could you just imagine what is going through his brain and what he feeling inside? So yeah, crazy. Mhm. Yeah. He he ain't there for the talk. Nah, not at all. Good God. And you got to understand something. Could you imagine if Wolverine didn't have healing? You're gone. You're You're not surviving that. I don't care who you are. If you don't have no healing ability and he knocked you into the sky and then you land. Yeah. You're you're you're black as my screen right now. You don't see nothing after that. It's a wrap. Yeah. Just let's let's be clear about that. What the hell happened boy? He had to go he had to tap into that little bit of that berserk a little bit. Yeah. I mean, every every single moment of these moments when I was watching this fight when it came out, I was like I was like, "Yo, do anybody realize every single moment of this fight shows you how many times basically Hulk killed Wolverine? If Wolverine did not have the healing factor, Hulk Wolverine is gone. Even at this moment right here, he's done. What What do we What are we talking about? You're You're done. Yeah, you're done. Yeah, you're done. Oh, that did nothing. That broke your skull, [screaming] brother. He knocked you out the water. Oh god. Oh, I know that hurt it. Oh Jesus. Oh damn. Wow. [groaning] [screaming] Little man, little man, leave alone. [laughter] H >> strongest [groaning and screaming] there is. >> Yo, let's just take a moment. The beating that Hulk was putting on Wolverine continues to show you why I keep saying how many times Wolverine die in this fight against Hulk. Like this is a very brutal Hulk. Like I love I I I actually enjoy how they did Hulk in this animated movie that we had a chance to see with Wolverine and then we had seen Thor, Deadpool and all that. I love how they did it cuz you also you had a chance to hear like Hulk talk. He was like Hulk smash little man little man leave Hulk alone like he was tapped in for sure. Like and and even before this, you know, when he smacked him with the with the whole he picked up the rock from the from the mountain and just smacked him with it. Like, bro, how many times did he kill Wolverine if Wolverine did not have a healing factor that really helped him? Like, what? Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Wolverine. I'm a big fan. There they go. Ring going berserk on them. [ __ ] better keep going with rain. I remember like in the early 90s when I was reading my the comics about you know what happened to Riverine the lab work that they did to him and I remember I can't remember the exact comic book like what issue it was but I can tell you this I could just remember how brutal it was about what Rubberine did when he broke out of the laboratory and what he did to all the scientists in there. It it really was insane. I never forget that. Like I read that and I was like, "Yo, I might be too young to be reading this." So I hid the comic for my mom under my bed so she wouldn't find it because it was brutal. And I knew for a fact that my mom would have felt that what Wolverine was doing in the comic to all the scientists when he broke out the lab. Yeah. My mother was not going to let me read the comics anymore because it was brutal. It was worse than me watching a Raider R movie. For real. not going to do it again. >> Could you imagine somebody just saying, "I erased your life before and I plan on doing it again." Like that's that's very brutal. That's chaotic. That's insane. That was insane. Like I erase everything about you that you know. Crazy. which was okay. Here's my [clears throat] thing. You You break him out, he still has all his powers. I thought this was was not smart. When I watched it back then, I watched this a thousand times, by the way. And even when I look at the clips now and react for y'all, it wasn't smart to do this right now. He's he's not asleep. He's not in a coma or anything. He has all his powers. You break him out and he's still full of strength and you thought it was enough to kill him by yourselves. Like you you you didn't catch him at his weakest moment. You caught him while he's still activated. That was just not smart. Oh, irresponsible asses. wasn't even focused. She was putting that work in, but still it's still Wolverine. Like that was still Wolverine. You did all of that at a wrong like Yeah. Look at you. You on your kinky time and he done knocked you out. located. >> And this is just warm up. Take him down. >> This ain't nothing but warm up. Warm up. Get him out of here. Next. Next. We need >> backup. No. >> What do you mean no? >> Ah, this interaction right here for the second part of the fight. Brewing had me weak right here. [laughter] >> He like, "Oh, so you you need something to traumatize you, right? Need something to to hurt you, right? Don't worry about it. I got you. I got you. Hold this. Get him out of here. >> You set yourself up for the worst. >> Dude, that is just a cease. Hulk smash people. [laughter] >> Now everybody want to run. >> Like what are we talking about? Sleep [screaming] that does nothing. Hilarious. >> The fact that he still don't like Logan. This dude just toss a whole thing out the way like it's nothing. >> You ain't do nothing but make them mad. You just made him angrier. >> And he gets bigger and he gets stronger. >> Talking man, [groaning] >> he's all yours. Einstein, >> we are I forgot that he said that ugly girl scratch Hawk. First off, sir, now you judging their looks. She got good bobbing weaving. But this was crazy right here, though. She thought she was doing something. Caught you lacking. He said, "Who are you yelling at?" Oh my. Could you imagine that was like just a just a regular person? You feel me? Oh, okay. Cool. I just thought just want to make sure that we was on the same page. Back to this. And what are you doing? Like boy, for real, I felt Hulk on that. If you don't move. O Yep. One thing Hulk going to do, he going to destroy it all. Get it out the way. Bye-bye. I would have loved for this to be a liveaction movie, but Marvel going to be Marvel. This all we want. Now this part here be having me weak every time. [laughter] That had me weak. That man said, "Come on, Hulk. Knock it all down for a brother." Hulk was like, "Sir, f you and everybody in here. I'mma knock your head off with this one. knocked that man out of the whole laboratory uh facility, factory, wherever the heck that thing was. But he was he was able to get up. Saber-tooth still asleep. Saber-tooth is knocked all the way out. Sheesh. Here we go. [groaning] Final round. Where were we? Yeah, man. Yo, I must say in the comics it was dope. I did appreciate this animated series of them showing Hulk versus Wolverine. Again, this is another one that I wish we would have had uh a part uh two, three far as a movie, animated movie. And I wish sometimes that um these movie directors realize like the people kept telling them what they wanted. Seeing a brutal fight between Wolverine and Hulk get down and busy like just straight hands and claws and bone breaking live action. Yeah, this would have been great. This has always been one of my favorite ones. like I can always turn this on and watch it and just sit back and never get bored. I thought it was always cool and and this is another one that I would say that I really wish they would have kept going deeper and deeper into the fights, but hey, you know, you only get a certain amount of time. Why? But other than that, definitely appreciate this one. So, listen y'all, thank y'all so much for watching these as I'm rebuilding my channel. If you still here, thank you for watching. And uh let me know if you want me to react and do commentary on some of my favorite fighting scene moments. We was going to watch the full movie on this one. I just wanted to watch the fighting scenes with Hulk and Wolverine in there, not the movie. All right, so other than that, y'all, y'all take care, be blessed, take care of yourself, and uh I'll see you again soon. You take care. Hulk versus Wolverine. Let's see what I do next. Take care.
