How was Hulk able to speak fluently in Thor Ragnarok?
We all know and love Hulk for his very limited vocabulary but as seen in the Ragnarok trailer Hulk has clear speech.
The debuted Hulk comic [May 1962] courtesy of Stan Lee and Jack didn't speak, but by the time he'd gone green for Incredible Hulk #4, he was talking. Albeit in primitive fashion. And oftentimes referring to his alter-ego "Puny Banner."
In the first Avengers movie Hulk grabs Loki and slams him against the floor only saying 'puny God'.
Can someone explain how Hulk has clear speech in Raganrok? [refrence to comics or interviews would be nice!]
Best Answer
The director explained here
With the green-skinned alter ego of the Avenger traditionally not known as a man of many words, the choice to give Hulk an increased use of vocabulary has surprised quite a few people. And according to Ragnarok director Taika Waititi, the choice was a deliberate..
"I was always fascinated by the duality of Hulk and Banner, and seeing how their brains could be interconnected." Waititi recently explained to IGN while at San Diego Comic-Con. "Could we sometimes see Hulk and could we have a bit of Banner’s voice in there? Could we see Banner and have Hulk’s personality through there?"
While Banner has warred with his Hulk identity since his first MCU appearance in 2012's The Avengers, Waititi revealed that that conflict will manifest in a new way during Ragnarok.
"I think in this film we’re going to see that for the first time, where the two are fighting — really fighting this time — for control of the body. And Hulk talking, this idea of a more cognitive Hulk who can say sentences — that obviously has existed in the comics, but I think it’s something the fans want to finally see. It’s exactly what fans want to see, and what I wanted to see too."

In the comics, when Hulk does speak, it tends to be in the third person, via statements like \u201cHulk crush\u201d and \u201cHulk smash.\u201d Over the years his intelligence has fluctuated as the amount of Bruce Banner in Hulk increases and decreases; more Banner meaning more talk, and less Banner, less chat.Why did they make Hulk talk?
In Thor: Ragnarok Hulk has taken full control, Banner states that usually, he feels like he's got a hand on the wheel but this time he had no awareness of what was happening. So Hulk did seem to become stronger mentally and take fuller control. This leads to Hulk talking.Did the Hulk ever talk?
Yes, one of the strangest developments to come out of the Ragnarok trailer is that the MCU's version of Hulk can now speak pretty fluently.

Answer 2
With the release of Avengers: Endgame we can see that
The Hulk could talk even in the original Avengers movie
Therefore, I think we can assume the Hulk could always talk, but just wasn't given much opportunity to.
The Hulk usually gets to come out, fight (something which doesn't need talking), then go away. In Ragnarok he's had two years to exist, with more opportunity to talk while not in a fight, and to further elaborate on is speaking skills.
