I believe it.
I re-watched “Age Of Ultron” recently and i got reminded that Hulk went on that ship and left earth because he felt that society wouldn’t accept him after he wrecked everything in Africa and they would see him as nothing but a monster.
So when he lands in Sakaar in “Thor: Ragnarok.” The people there see him as a great gradatior and they treat him like royalty. He is accepted..
After he gets his ass kicked by Thanos he is reduced into Banner because he yet again feels like a failure and he doesn’t want to fukk it up again.
So in Avengers 4....Hulk is going to redeem himself..
You also have to look at the fact that the Hulk never wanted to leave Sakaar. He had a great life there and was happy. He had respect, a penthouse suite and women on demand. He was forced against his will to change into Banner and basically kidnapped from his good life. Then he was forced to change back or let Banner die. Banner hitting the ground before transforming was played for laughs in Thor Ragnarok but Hulk may have not wanted to help at that point but was forced to help or die. After that Hulk killed a giant wolf, got no appreciation for it. Then he tried to kill Surtur and Thor called him a moron before talking to him like a child for not knowing a plan he wasn't told about. Once Thanos shows up he's treated like an attack dog to kill on command. He gets the worst beating of his life for his troubles.
The question I have is what stake does the Hulk have in all of this? If the good guys win, he's back on earth where he has to wait around for Banner to call him like an attack dog, then go sit back in a corner after the fighting is over. Maybe that's not worth fighting for to the Hulk.
