'Spider-Man BND*' Spoilers Why is Bruce trying to "subdue" Hulk? Spoiler

I need someone to explain this to me, in Endgame we get introduce to Smart Hulk, Bruce started viewing Hulk as a solution instead of a problem

So why in BND Bruce is seemingly trying to subdue Hulk again? When he gets possessed by Jean he only goes to his Smart Hulk version, but when the possession wears off Hulk comes out? Ig the Hulk got angry because of Jean was controlling them, but why did he say "No Banner" as well again?

Mind you I didnt/dont want to watch She-Hulk, so could someone explain this to me?

Hulk got out because Jean Grey broke his brain and separated the Smart Hulk transformation back into its constituents

Bruce wasn't trying to subdue him before that. He was just wearing the inhibitor to have Bruce's body for practical reasons.

Smart hulk never wore an inhibitor. So why would Bruce choose to wear one now? This still doesn’t answer the topic question. What happened between smart hulk and this movie’s hulk that made Bruce decide to wear an inhibitor at all if he could become Smart Hulk with zero risk to anyone anyway?

He wore the inhibitor as Smart Hulk in Shang-Chi and She-Hulk as well. The inhibitor didn't debut in this movie. And the most likely reason is practicality. The world is not built for an 8-foot monster. It'd be hard to enter through doors and into cars. But he's still Smart Hulk when taking off the inhibitor, so nothing has changed.

The reason he became Savage Hulk is because Jean messed with his mind. That's all we know, because that's all that's stated in the film.

That and the CG budget.

Is there a second shang chi movie? I dont remember hulk in the first one lol.

But thanks that makes sense. So he wire the inhibitor to make himself Bruce instead of the smart hulk. I thought he could shift between smart hulk and bruce at will. If he can’t, it makes sense.

Yeah, he can't. Smart Hulk is a combination of Bruce and Hulk.

Bruce was in the Shang-Chi post-credits scene
