When I saw this I thought "Yeah, that's a pretty cool one-liner but it doesn't make any sense - if he's always angry, surely he'd always be the Hulk? That's the whole thing with his character."
Could somebody explain this to me?
Rather than try to stay calm and zen, he maintains a cold seethe so that his pulse doesn't rise too much and hulk out. If he's already angry, then he can't rage out. He's embracing and controlling his anger rather than bottling it up.
why is he always angry?

because he blew betty apart with his big ol green dick

He didn't get in on Bitcoin even though his buddy told him about it when they were $2 a pop.

lou ferrigno is still best hulk after all these years
Being angry =/= being out of control
Bruce Banner prevents his transformation by being in control of his anger
Like if you were really hungry and there was some cake in front of you, you could resist if you had to

Bruce Banner has previously been established as somebody struggling to control the Hulk - that's what The Incredible Hulk was about. He gets agitated, he transforms. The ending was somewhat ambiguous and implied that he achieved some control, sure, but then in Avengers he lost control again on the helicarrier. Then, out of the blue, he reveals he's always angry.
His character just seems all over the place.

it means he's always just a hairs breath away from letting the hulk out. He's got that tight a lid on it now.
I don't mind the line at all. But what about the part where he turns into hulk mid-punch? That was pretty ridiculous.
Not to mention the fact that he goes back to having almost no control in Age of Ultron.
>>71176811
Does that make him angry?
>>71176861
>goes back to having almost no control in Age of Ultron
literally first scene he's fighting with the avengers, following commands and then BW helps him return back to normal
>>71176861
the only reason he loses control is because scarlet witch mindfucks him. do you need to rewatch it?

You just summed up Whedon's dialogue writing in two sentences. It's literally "Ha! What, what?"
>>71176042
Yeah, no.
Rather, he has anger issues, and he never really chills, he is always angry, he just learned to hold back the change. Since he is always angry, all he needs to do is let go and he will change right away.
Basically means the Hulk is always constantly trying to get out and he keeps constant control of that. It's the reason he turned Widow away, he will slip eventually and he doesn't want her around.
He doesn't maintain anger, he maintains control. Most of what he says is angry sarcasm, it's to cope. But it is bottled up, because the change will happen. Instead of controlling his anger he controls the change.
Tl;dr
The secret is the Hulk is always about to come out all the time. You don't get Bruce angry, he already is and he just sics the Hulk in you.

Post the gif of him "hulk smashing" bald widow.

The Hulk is ridiculous. Bruce Banner can't even kill himself because he turns into the Hulk right before he could die.
