The joke of Mark Ruffalo’s “firing” from Marvel is still going strong, with the Russos recently reiterating that Ruffalo is “still fired” a week after dropping the non-spoiler. Well, Marvel fans are turning the joke on its head: they are now pressing on Ruffalo to actually reveal the Avengers 4 title, since he’s technically fired anyway.
In case you’re a Marvel fan that’s been living under a rock for the past week, there’s been a bit of a humorous back and forth between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 directors The Russo Bros and franchise star Mark Ruffalo. It all started when Ruffalo appeared on Jimmy Fallon, where he jokingly “spoiled” the Avengers 4 title. The Russos then responded by “firing” Ruffalo over Twitter — a gag that has continued to run after the small incident became a big deal for fans.

Obviously Ruffalo likely won’t ever reveal the title before Marvel Studios decrees it, but as you can see below, there are some pretty impassioned cases being made for why he should.
What’s the Point?
Well you could release the title, now that youโre fired whatโs the point in hiding it?
โ Thanos, stop killing my friends ๏ธฝโต๏ธฝ (@strongst_avengr) October 16, 2018
I mean, they have a point.ย
Whatย are they even holding onto at this point? Reveal the title already!
Who Dies?
say who doesnโt make it in Avengers 4, since your fired and all

Well, this fan has an alternative to a title reveal.ย
A list of those who die or don’t come back from “The Snap” would also set the Internet on fire.ย
“No Such Thing As Halfway Crooks…”
just leak the title completely youโre fired anw

We’ve all heard the phrase, “In for a penny, in for a pound.”ย
Well, Ruffaloย has already “jokingly” spoiled the title to the point that tech geeks are tryingย to un-censor the reveal, so might as well go all in, right?ย
The Uncensored
Well you’re fired one way or another so maybe noncensored title? ?
โ ?lenka? (@_Marvelicious) October 16, 2018
Again, the uncensored title is what fans are after.ย
Ruffaloย probably didn’t think he would land himself between this rock and hard place!ย
…Watch the World Burn
You’re fired so why not spill all the beans? HAHAHA

This may be a Marvel fan, but the tweet seems to embrace a different ideology.ย
No doubt, this would be The Joker’s approach to getting someย Avengers 4ย spoilers out there!ย
Don’t Owe Them Nothing
@MarkRuffalo they fired you, you owe them nothing! Spoil the title!!

We appreciate this fan’s vigor.ย However, it’s arguably a very mistaken view that Ruffaloย owes “nothing” to Marvel Studios for his current career arc.
Something, Anything
If you are still fired just give us something
โ ASHISH KUMAR (@ASHISHM601) October 16, 2018
This fan isn’t picky.ย
He, like so many of us, just wantsย anyย kind ofย Avengers 4ย insights to go on. Easy to please.ย
Scorched Earth
Since youโre fired just spoil everything ?

The opposite of a fan who doesn’t ask for much?ย The fan whoย asks forย everything.ย
