This is getting old and boring. Some people just have too much ego invested in this to admit that they were mistaken to think that Juggernaut wasn't pushing against Hulk.
Some want to believe Juggernaut is "unstoppable", usually the same type of posters who argue that even Galactus wouldn't be able to physically harm Juggernaut because he's "invulnerable".
Juggernaut's "unstoppability" is all hype, he has been stopped at least 4 times, and for a marginal character, that's a lot of un-unstoppability there.
It's clear what the writer was depicting and, the egos are just going to go round and around in this "debate"...
The pattern of debate:
Start: "Juggernaut wasn't charged up, so ner! unstoppability not affected" *fansite asserting that Juggernaut needs to charge up, that his shield must be on, that the stars must align and that Juggernaut must not be holding back*
Counter: *on-panel proof that Juggernaut doesn't need to charge up* and *on-panel proof that Juggernaut charged at Hulk*
Response: "But Juggernaut was pushing the Hulk back, look at the mound!! so ner! Unstoppability saved."
Counter: *scans showing them locked in the same position, while mansion's foundations crumble and Xavier tells Juggernaut to stop.* *Writer's comments that Juggernaut's forward momentum was redirected downwards. That is, he wasn't moving forward any more*
Response: "Juggernaut was just standing there, trading blows, he wasn't pushing forward"
Counter: *face palm* ... *on-panel proof of Juggernaut having built-up momentum, as Hulk stepped aside and let him fly into the lake*
Response: "Yeah but, Hulk would have had to give way, because Juggernaut is unstoppable and Hulk knew it, which is why he moved aside"
Counter: *on-panel evidence that Hulk stopped Juggernaut without exerting himself* and *on-panel proof that Juggernaut's unstoppability can be stopped*
Response: "He wasn't charging at Hulk, so the unstoppability wasn't in effect!"
Counter: *fist through screen*
