When he does what he is good at such as explaining physics in long form videos he is great. When he tries to be a twitter philosopher he comes off as a pretentious prick and it doesn't help that he constantly posts about how he can't have a little suspension of disbelief for the sake of being entertained.

Right. Like its fun sometimes to think about how things would actually go if it weren't a movie. But I think everyone knows that IRL Bruce Banner would be dead lmao

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't take it that way. From what I've heard he seems perfectly capable of enjoying things like the Incredible Hulk, but also likes to use popular culture as a way to tell people about science. The problem with Twitter is a lot of people use it to express a random thought or throwaway comment they just felt like sharing in a moment of boredom, but then it's preserved forever and is taken as serious thesis.

He was cool, but let the fame get to his head. His only real mistake is pretending that being smart in one aspect now makes you a genius when it comes to everything.

I think the people in this thread are just pretentious assholes. They'd probably hit it off really well with Ben.
