I love how we actually get to see the effect that Bruce’s trauma has had on him, especially through his jealousy of Jen. She had an effortless transition into a Hulk, whereas he had over a decade of traumatizing experiences simply trying to find peace with his own existence.
For example, during their fight:
Jen fights because she’s just pissed and needs to let off some steam.
Bruce fights because the world has been so unfair to him and he’s just so, so angry.
Bruce lost his life as a human, his respect from others, his mental health, and many of his friends. Mark Ruffalo does such an amazing job (even in cgi) showing how all of that loss and pain affected Bruce

thinking about it now, Charles Melton should've been nominated for best supporting actor instead of Ryan Gosling as Ken
This might be a hot take here on tumblr dot com buuuuuuuuut
I think Ryan’s nomination is actually deserved.
If we accept the premise of the Oscars, and accept the existence of the Barbie movie, Ryan as Ken could have come off as ridiculous and try-hard but it didn't. My one quibble is that he is too old to play Ken opposite Margot as Barbie (there is ten years difference between them, and there's only so much that makeup and moisturizer can do) but other than that, Ryan Gosling absolutely has the comedy chops and by my count he delivered an adequately charming performance.
This is an aside but something that's getting lost in the hashtag white feminism conversation is that it is narratively absurd that the film industry has rewarded the less important guy but not the literal lead girl from the feminism 101 movie. It feels intellectually dishonest to not acknowledge how on the nose this is. We can talk more about this on @fandomshatewomen if people wanna get into it.
Back to your message though, if we’re exploring hypotheticals, how about we look at the rest of the list of noms:
Mark Ruffalo for Poor Things
Robert Downey Jr for Oppenheimer
Ryan Gosling for Barbie
Robert De Niro for Killers of the Flower Moon
Sterling K Brown for American Fiction
If we are swapping out someone on this list, my personal choice would be Robert De Niro, backup option Robert Downey Jr.
Both of these men are already household names, and this was not either of their best work or tbh even like among their better work. Also, neither of them “needs” this nomination, it does nothing for their careers.
But for an actor like Charles Melton who is good at his job but very much at the beginning of his career, it could mean a meaningful increase to the money his agents can negotiate for him on subsequent projects. Like yes, numbers vary, but the “awards bump” is a thing, and proportionally speaking it would mean WAY more for his career than one of the Roberts.

thought this before going to sleep after watching poor things and woke up thinking this even more: if you really thought that that film was promoting the idea that women are but little sexual girls who should be babied and fucked, and if you really think that sex was the thing that enlightened Bella to the world (versus the old lady she made friends with who gave her books to read, or the man who was like “people are dying Bella”, or the woman she ultimately ended up with taking her to socialist meetings, among other things) was just sex…… I don’t know what to say lmao

RED ALERT! WE HAVE ANOTHER POSSIBLE SCIENTOLOGY PLANT. I'M DONE WITH THIS ENDLESS BULLSHIT CAMPAIGN TO TRY AND REVIVE ELIZABETH OLSEN AND HER TOXIC SCARLET WITCH. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT LEVEL OF NARCISSISM, ON SOCIAL MEDIA, EVER AGAIN.
UPDATE!
First this chick lobbies for a known culist, Elizabeth Olsen. Now, she's trying to do promo for @MarkRuffalo a dirty ass Democratic Disruptor. If they keep using up young artists like Alaqua Cox for shady promotions, hiyou won't have anyone left. No one in their right minds would ever choose The HUlk character. He's not fun, he's not articulate, and what Ruffalo did to the Hulk made him infinitely worse. It is a two note character that morphed into a pretentious snob. Actually, that does sound like Mark Ruffalo.
True story: I was friends with a lovely Native American woman on Facebook. She was connected to Mark Ruffalo, because of all of his 'work' with Indians. She thanked him one day but also clarified that she was giving her money directly to the reservation and not Ruffalo's charity. THE SHIFTY BASTARD UNFRIENDED HER, IMMEDIATELY.
Do not ever try and gaslight me about Ruffalo. He's a nasty little bastard.
