Red Hulk had like one or two decent feats (like tearing off one of Sam's vibranium wings), but was pretty underwhelming overall. Can't remember a single genuinely impressive striking feat out of him, at least compared to other heavy hitters from the MCU and DCEU. And, despite Ross' military background, Red Hulk fought with no more skill or finesse than savage Hulk did in the past. In other words, Clark whoops Red Hulk's ass.

In terms of his leaps (and speed) he did seem very much on Green Hulk's level. But yeah we didn't get any high tier strength feats out of him in this film.
And yes Rulk was very different to his comic book counterpart. This was just Ross becoming a Savage Hulk himself tbh.
Then again I haven't seen the movie and this is a mashup of promo and trailer clips edited together.

Yeah, speed and mobility were good. But, again, nothing that really stands out above anything we've seen before. And his striking feats as a whole pale in comparison to some of the harder hits Hulk, Thor or even characters like Cull Obsidian (who hit Iron Man hard enough to fly multiple blocks and through a building during their New York fight) have dished out in the past. He has a few cool feats (as I mentioned in my first post), but wasn't super impressive overall IMO.
I was a bit disappointed, because some people who worked on the movie were saying in interviews that Red Hulk, due to Ross' experience, is a smarter, more tactical fighter. Then the movie comes out and he's just a berserk rage machine that punches, jumps and swings at things, just like Savage Hulk. Hell, you could argue that 2008 Savage Hulk showed more tactical intelligence by doing things like making boxing gloves out of a car or using the chain to choke out Abomination.

He destroyed Sams vibranium wings which is a pretty high end feat

He didn't destroy them, he tore them off from his suit. Also, those wings were slicing him like nothing. I can't imagine the wings being able to cut Clark like that. There was also a part where Rulk was swinging a pole or something and Sam stopped it with his bare hands. Good luck explaining that.
Anyway, we were never going to get decent feats because it was a Hulk vs Captain Falcon fight that Sam had to win. It might have been good if it was Sam and Banner vs Rulk, but Hulk is still the most cucked character in the MCU.
So Vibranium can cut into Rulk, and Adamantium is confirmed as being a tougher metal. So I guess Wolverine will be tearing these Hulks apart given none of them can regenerate
IIRC, Sam used the thrust from his jetpack to help brace him against the pole swing. It's still dumb as hell, but it also isn't the first time. Like in TFATWS, where he supports and then pushes an armored truck back onto a ledge, bracing it with his arms while using the thrust of his jetpack to push it upwards. Both instances should have broken his bones and pulled his shoulders out of their sockets. But then Sam has a bunch of feats, both from Brave New World and earlier movies, that should have left him a broken, crippled mess and didn't do so. But then that's MCU plot armour for you.
So will Deadpool with his adamantium katanas.
They really need to give the Hulks healing, because they are just being left in the dust, powercreep-wise, at this point. Hell, give any of the highly skilled super soldiers a long enough vibranium or adamantium sword and they could potentially kill any of the Hulks themselves at this point. It's kind of pathetic.

Why would one even need supersoldiers? With power creep, the TVA (normal guys) were messing Loki up something fierce, something that only Cap was doing in the original Avengers.......
The Hulks better hope that nobody with an IQ above 65 gets a hold of adamantium or vibranium. Imagine Hulk getting torn to shreds by adamantium/vibranium-tipped bullets.
I'm sure the Hulks have SOME kind of advanced healing factor, but it's obviously nothing to write home about.
MCU Hulk's HF should be at least in Deadpool and Wolverine's tier, but at this point I don't even know how they could realistically buff him up to those levels without some sort of major retcon.
