By the time we get to THE AVENGERS, Hulk-outs are triggered by anger rather than, as in TIH, merely becoming excited. Banner, at the end of HULK, had come to terms with what he was, and was using his talents to help people, which is just where we find him in THE AVENGERS, like an older version of the same character. The TIH version, wherein he was fixated on the danger he posed as the Hulk and obsessed with finding a cure, is ignored. There's an exchange in THE AVENGERS in which it's asserted that the amount of radiation to which Banner was subjected "should have killed" him. This directly contradicts the TIH version, wherein he wasn't trying to kill himself and didn't subject himself to a lethal dose of radiation, but it sounds exactly like the lab accident in the '03 HULK. And it's explicitly described as an "accident" in THE AVENGERS--again, ignoring TIH, where it was an intentional experiment. It's also implied there was something special about him that allowed him to survive the radiation, which again references '03 HULK. To the proposition that he shouldn't have survived, Banner says something like, "So you're saying the other guy [the Hulk] saved me?" Implying the Hulk was something that was always inside him, just as was the case in '03 HULK.
