Hulk holding up the entire island of Manhattan? Impossible.

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.

Jesus you act like you have not seen any MCU movies. Marvel prides itself on trying to be realistic in the MCU, and this show replaced the much better EMH because it was supposed to be more like the MCU. In the MCU or EMH, or for that matter even in Ultimate Marvel or even 616 would anyone other than a cosmic entity be able to lift an entire island AND NOT HAVE IT CRUMBLE INTO PIECES. Even DC past say 1979 would not give Superman or even Superboy Prime the ability to not only do that but somehow telekenticly hold the island in one piece.
Sorry, there is fantastic and then their is truly unbelievable. And this show too often is like Silver Age DC, when Superman could move an entire planet into a new orbit or Green Lantern could survive inside a black hole (but get hurt by yellow.)
Not to mention the endless fighting over food. WHen the whole world is in danger. Pizza makes not just Hulk but everybody go nuts. Its an absurd show.
