Mark Ruffalo’s portrayal of the Hulk has won accolades for emotional nuance and depth ever since it debuted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well, do you remember his intense fight scene against Tom Hiddleston’s Loki in the 2012 Avengers movie? The God of Mischief is tough to match for the majority of the other Avengers, but the Hulk gave him a serious fight. He even goes so far as to refer to Loki as a “puny god” before giving him a severe beating.
Marvel fans are not going to forget this scene anytime soon and Loki will not forget it either. But now that Hiddleston is back for a second season in the critically acclaimed series Loki, fans believe he seems to have taken the Hulk’s “puny god” remark a little too seriously. This has certainly made Ruffalo’s Hulk a laughing stock.
Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk Is Mocked For Calling Tom Hiddleston’s Loki A ‘Puny God’
The “puny god” scene of The Avengers swiftly gained popularity as a meme and went viral on the internet. Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk became a laughing stock after calling Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki a “puny god” in an endless stream of tweets that featured the hilarious line. Given that Loki transforms into the God of Time in the latest season of Loki, gaining immense power to govern the multiverse and the branching timelines, fans feel that the actor took the comment too personally.

As per Screen Rant, Loki transforms into the God of Time and Stories by preserving and guarding every timeline.

Tom Hiddleston Explained How The Avengers Filmed Loki and Hulk’s Fight Scene
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Tom Hiddleston discussed in detail some of the behind-the-scenes details of the iconic Loki and Hulk fight scene. His explanation of how the famous Loki Hulk smash scene was actually filmed makes the scene’s final cinematic adaptation even funnier. Read his explanation of how that scene was filmed below.
“I had a piece of wire tied to my ankle and there was a mat on the floor, which was out of shot, and three of the strongest stunt guys holding the wire at the end behind the camera. The experience being yanked out of frame was one I will not forget in a hurry…For about two years after that, I couldn’t go through airports anywhere in the world without somebody kind of going, ‘Hey, Mr. Loki, I love it when you get Hulk smashed.’ It became a bit of a thing in a fun way.”
