Hulk holding up the entire island of Manhattan? Impossible.

You don't have to try at ALL to find flaws with this show. If Hulk lifted a planet in the comics, that is even more stupid.
The whole point of replacing EMH with this per Loeb at al was to make the cartoons MORE like the marvel movies. This show is even MORE unrealistic and stupid than EMH, and is NOTHING like the movies. They would NEVER have the characters behaving this juvenile in the Marvel movies. And because they are so grounded in
realism, Joss, Feige, et al say that Thor, Ultron, Hulk etc are all LESS powerful and so forth.
This was just a completely stupid episode. And what is worse, if Hulk is SO strong that he can lift an entire trillion ton island without BREAKING the island mind you, how is it that Hyperion beat him AND Thor so easily?
This show makes the SUPER-FRIENDS look like Breaking Bad. Its just so ridiculously kiddie and full of stupid things.

No impossible. The island would have broken under its own weight. It would be like trying to balance an entire wedding cake on a carbon nano fiber tube the width of a pin. The tube would not break, but the cake would fall apart.

So? LOTS of cartoons, including comic based ones, are far more realistic than this. In the Justice League/ JLU etc cartoons from DC they'd have NEVER pulled a stunt like this.

An issue of Secret Wars established back in 1984 established that as much brute strength as he wants or needs is a product of rage/anger buildup, regardless of what intelligence version Hulk there is.

UGGGHHH no, THAT is not the issue! No matter HOW strong he is, an island 1/100th of the size (Governor's Island, Roosevelt Island) would snap into pieces. The island is not made of adamantium, and Hulk is not telekinetic.

Goosh, I fully agree with you. Another issue is the New York subway, sewer system and bridge system. The bridges at the edges of the island and there will be roads collapsing / crumbling. The sewer system would collapse and cause severe flooding and property damage. And any trains coming in and out of the city = massive casualties. Not to mention do you know how many cars are in the Holland tunnel at any given time? Imagine that suddenly being crushed because one end of the support is gone. Again, lots of death. And lots of stranded people. Public transportation in ruins and thousands dead. Lifting the island of Manhattan = disaster, even if the island didn't fall apart.

The Hulk supported the entire weight of a mountain range easily thousands of times larger, in terms of mass, than Manhattan (think something the size of the Rockies) that Doctor Doom (with the stolen power of the Beyonder) dropped on the "good" side of the Secret Wars on Battleworld. Billions of tons on his back, stated right there on the cover of that issue. But yes, in that case, the rest of the mountain range had collapsed all around the portion that the Hulk was supporting to prevent everyone else from being crushed.
