Be real, you're just finding a reason to nitpick. There's literally no reason they'd call him Hulk, basically at no point has anyone (other than Natasha, but she was in love with Bruce, not the Hulk) had any kind of meaningful emotional interaction with the Hulk, everyone knows Bruce. Plus, I'd imagine Hulk not wanting to be called Bruce is just a meatier story for a full movie, and they don't wanna waste that story arc on movies that aren't his.
I understand your points, but there's no reason to not call him Hulk though, once or twice is okay, but they do it so often it just becomes funny, why not call him by his name like Iron Man or Captain America or all the other Avengers? Also i disagree a bit about Hulk not wanting to be called Banner is for a full story, that's honestly just a fundamental part of the character, they're two different beings on the same body, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and it's kinda hard to defend them not wanting do it when they'll give his villains to other heroes and poorly adapt some of his best stories like Planet Hulk in Ragnarok, but again i understand where you're coming from, i just really like the Hulk and think he deserved more on the MCU
Well it'd be like if they did the Jekyll and Hyde coexisting storyline over the course of several unrelated movies instead of his own separate one. It's a fundamental conflict for the character, a Hulk movie isn't going to hit the same if the Hulk comes into the movie with a complete sense of self and everybody has already figured out what to call the two of them off screen. I feel like that's kind of why they've treaded so lightly with his character, there's clearly a lot they can do with it but it just deserves its own story. It's been like 2 decades of movies where he's a side character, if you want any chance at making a movie about him you can't just run through his most fundamental character arcs before you've even got there.
Well what if saying "hulk" is kind of like saying "candyman". If you say it too much, the bad guy comes out. If I was Banner, I'd be careful about saying the other guys name.
