If you ’ve been trying to pay care to whatever in god ’s now - ungodly - name is going on in the UK right now over the nightmarethat is Brexit , recently you ’ve hear about some freakish , arcane parliamentary terminology . Prorogation!The Speaker!The Black Rod ! Boris Johnson ! Well , here ’s one new term you likely do n’t need explaining : The Hulk .
Yes , recently - elevated Prime Minister Boris Johnson — good known before his current position as unelected loss leader of the United Kingdom for beingan downright jerk-off — has decide that his latest way to connect with the increasingly politically ostracized youthfulness is to invoke Marvel Comics . That he did so in an audience with a paper , specifically The Mail on Sunday , is probably not the sound way to aim articulate early days , but hey , the kids ! They like the Marvel movies and not being part of the European Union , veracious ?

Right ?
Anyway , yes . Here is the ostensible leader of a nationtelling the pressthat , should he be confronted by the UK Parliament’srecently - ratified legal actionto foreclose the UK front the political eq of shitting its own pant with a no - mint Brexit — presently coif to happen with thematic appropriateness on All Hallow ’s Eve itself , October 31 — that he would become Bruce Banner , split the surly trammel of his opposition , and Hulk out .
Banner might be stick to in manacles , but when elicit he would explode out of them . Hulk always escaped , no matter how tightly bound in he seemed to be — and that is the case for this country . We will follow out on 31 October and we will get it done .
The madder Hulk gets , the potent Hulk gets .
This would require literally break the law — legal expert have advised Johnson couldeven confront prison house timefor doing so . But since when did hedge the law ever stop the Hulk from carve a path of titanic destruction ? Oh hold off , right , he ’s a darned comic Christian Bible character . And these daylight is actually shivery smart , whetherthat ’s on screenor inthe books themselves .

Clearly , the same ca n’t be said for Boris Johnson .
Update 9/16 9.30am : Of course , Bruce Banner of the MCUhimself Mark Ruffalo has now weighed in on Johnson ’s invocation of the Hulk , and is not too pleased with the compare :
Boris Johnson leave that the Hulk only fights for the goodness of the whole . Mad and strong can also be dim and destructive . The Hulk work considerably when he is in unison with a team , and is a tragedy when he is alone . Plus … he ’s always beat Dr. Banner with science and reason.pic.twitter.com/jN8BDzgpWl
