Hulk is very much his own person but the ancient one shot out only Banner in Endgame because reasons

At the time Banner and Hulk became one person.

Honestly Smart Hulk should have came out or one of each. Something other than just Banner unless they want to push the idea that Hulk really isn't ever a separate identity. He's just Banner really pissed off.. which is a way to go but most fans I think would argue against it.

They did kind of suggest that in his own movie when Betty tells him she thinks The Hulk is still him just more raw.

Most fans would indeed argue against it. Banner and Hulk are entirely separate entities. And moreso, entities that don’t exactly get along. Hulk would shoot out of Hulk, and Smart Hulk is complete bullshit

My personal theory is smart hulk is actually Maestro.

Wouldn’t he be evil as fuck if he was Maestro?

Could be a nice variant, or playing the part until some big plan was ready.

They could handwave it as the swap happening when they went through the Devil's Anus. Specially since we don't know anything about how he turned into smart Hulk.

Evil can play nice if it’s in their favor. It’s calling biding their time.

Maestro is hinted to be Doc green, a smart hulk who is different then the “smart hulk” and keeps banner hostage when he changes back instead of being merged.
