The Regretful Hulk meme, also known as Sad Hulk or Hulk on a Bench, originates from a contemplative scene in the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame. In this scene, Bruce Banner (in his Professor Hulk form) is seen sitting on a bench looking dejected and thoughtful following the heavy emotional toll of the movie's events. The image became an instant hit on social media as a way to express feelings of deep regret, sudden realizations of errors, or the silent contemplation that follows a major life 'fail.' It perfectly captures the contrast between the Hulk's massive physical strength and the universal human experience of vulnerability and disappointment.
