We've seen Thor have trouble holding up a sky scraper before.
We've seen Gladiator amped with the uni-power take two whole minutes to fly halfway around the world.
We've seen Thor knocked down by a firehose.
We've seen Kyle Rayner have his ring easily pulled off by Batman.What do all of these scenarios have in common? Not only are they all low showings, but they contradict each character's consistent showings.
I'm aware that Hulk was killed. If the writer states so, there's no denying it. However, that doesn't mean it SHOULD have happened (at least not like that).Possibly, the writer wasn't aware of Hulk's history with his healing factor, or something.
The difference between those and Hulk's death is that is was never stated by Marvel that Hulk is immortal, while it was well within those other characters power sets to easily accomplish those feats. Marvel has never stated that Hulk couldn't be killed, it is you that believes that.
