The stronger the character is, the more boring the movie gets. Don't ya all understand that at last, fanboys?

Bruh, you seem to forget that Hulk in Avengers 1 was literally a boring plot device that smashed things.
Professor Hulk in Endgame actually has characterisation, and he preformed some of the best feats in the damn movie (being the only guy powerful enough to survive the snap, and he saved everyone by holding up the Avengers building until they can get Giant Man to smash through it due to Hulk having literally his hands full.
If anything, having Professor simply implies that the Maestro is more than a thing than WWH (which will never happen, by the way) so that theory seems silly in retrospect.
It seems that the complaints mostly came from comic book fans who only wanted to see "Hulk smash". That kind of brain-dead mentality from comic book fans was partly why they are so disconnected from the general audience, and also why the Hulk character was not very marketable in terms of movies - The Incredible Hulk remained MCU's worst performing film to date.
@elcj For the OP, I am pretty sure the general audience likes Professor Hulk and for comic book fans who can look past "Hulk smash" and focus on other aspects, they will find the feats performed by Hulk to be just as impressive if not more - As the posters above had mentioned.
Wrong.
Everyone I talked to were not impressed (actually disappointed) by The Hulk in the last 2 movies. In Avengers 1, he was introduced to the "general audience" as an absolute colossus and had a ton of screentime with impressive and entertaining feats - in fact, he was the star of many and the most iconic scenes from the movie.
Hulk being The Hulk is indeed what the overwhelming majority of fans (comic book and otherwise) wanted to see, in these last 2 movies. People that can't understand this are the ones very disconnected with reality.
For you comic book fans, the whole "Hulk saved the universe because was the only one strong enough to use the gauntlet", really doesn't translate well enough. I know for your own self-esteem, you really want to think you're being deep and have a more intellectual outlook, but sorry, you'll have to push that delusion somewhere else. It also didn't LOOK like Hulk was holding up the whole building, but only a section that collapsed on them. So either way, this was not translated well either.
And as for Maestro, even though they've played with the whole time-travel thing now, a Hulk Maestro movie wouldn't really work for a Hollywood movie. Instant flop I can see already. WWH works as it fits into a style and format they've already tested that's proven successful.
