But it did absolutely nothing, Hulk didn't seem hurt in the least.

If Annihilus would have kept fighting that way, Hulk would have destroyed him because he would get stronger and Annihilus doesn't.

It really isn't that complicated.

I wasn't actually that impressed with Annihilus after all the big talk. Sure, he had Hulk on the run at first with the fear power, the cosmic blasts hurt, and he beat on him a couple of times, but it didn't seem to actually do much. In fact Hulk managed to damage Annihilus. Then Hulk was hitting Anni when Pip removed him from the battle. Despite Anni have cosmic + Hulk power he still didn't manage to win and this wasn't even a very impressive looking Hulk. A dumb Hulk who seemed more confused than angry - not exactly WWH material.

Anni reminded me of those Secret Invasion skrulls supposedly with all the stacked copied powers who then seemed to be treated like fodder later on.

A non-emo stable Sentry really should be able to win this, and DSentry destroys him.

It took Thanos everything he had to beat him.

Basilisk thinks Thanos is mid herald though.

Lol, no, he's definitely beyond that he beats mid-heralds I just think he's a good level below skyfather. And the fact remains, the supposedly amped Anni got damaged by, failed to stop, and was still getting hit by a pretty lackluster dumb Hulk incarnation.

That whole Hulk/Thanos/Annihilus storyline was utter garbage from start to finish anyway, so it hardly seems worth discussing what happened or if it made sense. I strongly suspect they changed it from a Hulk arc and into a standalone series so it wouldn't damage sales of the ongoing series with how much it stunk. Starlin hasn't written anything much good this century. He seems content to plod on authoring predictable nonsense with preschool level dialogue and plots with CIS and PIS that mainly caters for feat obsessed fans. Give me his older stuff any day.

So you just confirmed what I said, but in a indirect way.

Not at all, I said I don't think he is mid herald at all. He's above typical heralds. And also that the story was rubbish anyway.

Can we stop saying this like it mattters? Anni's carapace isn't really a part of him. It's just an outfit he puts on. Having a tip of its antenna broken by Hulk isn't a strike against Annihilus.

And why are we calling this a lackluster Hulk? Other than getting sacked around by a guy who later slaughters Gladiator and pushes Thanos, what did Hulk fail to do here? He crushed Anni's forces easily and one-shotted the ground so hard it split a skyscraper completely in half. He wasn't at WWH levels, but it wasn't a low showing.

His carapace is much denser than his body though. Hulk damaging it with a punch is a great showing. Then it was a scared Hulk that achieved this. Imagine if he was pissed. Especially when the same suit withstood a blast from Thanos without a scratch. To the point that Thanos was surprised.
