Here is My Villain Review of Red Hulk

Now I'm going to discuss the character Red Hulk is the secondary villain in 2025´s Captain America Brave New World and explain why he had won the most tragic and sympathetic villains of phase 5 of the MCU as well as one of the best villains of 2025 so far. 

Origin- Now Red Hulk's origin is really interesting because there is a lot to this character because he has been through a lot in the MCU. Now Red Hulk's real name is Ross and he returned to America when he was 27 years old and he was a one time military General and he was tasked to find and capture the Hulk and weaponize him. But he failed to do that so Later on in his life he became the US Secretary of State and he assigned the Sokovia Accords to tear the Avengers apart from the inside And put them against each other. Later on he became the president of the United States and he tried to run the country but he was experimented on by Dr Samuel Stearns/The Leader So in order to avoid turning into the red Hulk he had to take gamma pills and control his emotions so he doesn't rage out. I think the film did the Glorious job of telling Red Hulk's origin of how he became a one-time War General to the present of the United States because Ross is a man that's been through a lot since he returned to america. 

Character- now Red Hulk as a character is really interesting because you understand what he wants to do. You know he is the guy that died taking nonsense from anybody he doesn't believe that Captain America can run the country and prove that Isaiah Bradley is innocent. But you also feel bad for him because Ross is also dealing with his personal trauma of his daughter Betty does not like him because of the way he's been training her by not spending enough time with her and doing all these horrible things. It wants to fix his relationship with her so  they can be back together again. I think the film does a terrific job of developing Red Hulk as a villain because he wants to run the country the way he wants to by not having any bad stuff happening to the country because he's going against the Japanese but he also wants to try to fix his relationship with his daughter and make it right. 

Motivation- Now Red Hulk´s motivations are really incredible because he want to run the country the way he wants to like have everything in balance but he only want to prove to his daughter Betty that he has changed So they can spend more time together and to show her that he's not as horrible as she thinks he is. I think the film does a gloria's job of giving Red Hulk a really powerful and tragic motivation because he believes he's doing good for his daughter he believes he's doing the right thing for the country but he's just going about it in a very harmful end despicable way because The Leader is manipulating him

Best Scenes- Now Red Hulk had a lot of really powerful and really tremendous moments in this film and to be honest it is really hard for me to pick which is my favorite moment with Red Hulk. But if I had to pick a couple moments with Red Hulk that I really like, it'll probably be the scene where Ross tells Sam Wilson. You better watch yourself, you're not Steve Rogers. Not only Was it a really incredible end entertaining scene but it makes sense because Ross does not believe that Sam Wilson is Captain America because he does believe that he can protect and serve the country. The scene where Ross turned into the Red Hulk is one of the darkest moments because he is letting out his anger by turning into a monster and trying to kill Captain America because The leader was manipulating him to do that. Also the scene where Ross says how the hell did he do all that from prison? If he can control mines certainly he can hack files. I ordered you to stop. Because I was Dying God damn it because my heart was failing. Not only was it really suspenseful and a very captivating moment but it made sense because Ross was dying from heart failure so that is why he needed those gamma pills and he had to control his emotions so he did not want to risk having a heart attack. All of these scenes are really tremendous and really entertaining. It's all thanks to Harrison Ford's awesome and entertaining performance.

Evil Deeds- Now Red Hulk does a lot of evil stuff in this movie he tries to kill Captain America he almost started World War III by having the Japanese go against the US. He didn't spend enough time with his daughter and he Almost killed everyone at the White House. But it wasn't really his fault, it wasn't his intention to go crazy. He was being manipulated by The Leader to do all those horrible things Because he wanted Ross to let out all his anger. I think the film that they still do a job of making Red Hulk evil but also misunderstood because if not his fault because again the leader was controlling him like a puppet so if anyone is the monster it is The Leader who is truly the monster in the film. 

Conclusion- Red Hulk is a really interesting villain Now he is the president of the United States and he has been battling heart failure his whole life. I think the film did a tremendous job of developing Red Hulk and a character Because not only did he have to deal with all the stuff that he's been through but he wants to try to fix his relationship with his daughter Betty and wants to spend more time with her. His motivations are really amazing how he wants to run the country and try to control his emotions and win back his daughter again. Also the scenes of Red Hulk giving that monologue of saying that he was dying and you're not Steve Rogers are really awesome and powerful scenes and the scene where he turns into Red Hulk is also a really dark and horrifying scene that works really well because he was being manipulated by The Leader. It is all thanks to Harrison Ford´s captivating and mesmerizing performance. I think Red Hulk is up there with Xu Wenwu from Shang Chi as one of the most sympathetic villains in the MCU. I think he's up there with The High Evolutionary from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 as one of my favorite villains in the MCU. I'm going to give Red Hulk a 9/10.
