The Incredible Hulk (1968) Annual #10
#while I don’t deny that Bruce and the Hulk’s relationship is more complicated than two completely seperate people who happen to share a body
#and I’m not strictly opposed to stories having moments where a certain action of the Hulk’s is attributed to Bruce influencing him
#I disliked it back when it was the norm to frame it as the Hulk is a straightforward monster
#and anything good he did was because of the man buried deep inside briefly coming out
#in part because that’s frankly boring as it makes the Hulk a non-character with very limited interiority
#I prefer it when Bruce's influence on the Hulk is limited to knowledge
#like that the Hulk did something because he subconsciously remembered something relevant about how radiation works
#and I like it better that Bruce and the Hulk have their own different ethos and understanding of right and wrong
#I'm thinking of this one scene in The Rampaging Hulk where Bruce sees a child being abused and tries to ignore it
#because he doesn't want to get upset and turn into the Hulk
#but when he does and the Hulk sees that he immediately intervenes in the situation
#but also there's that the Hulk has certain opinions about how fighting is supposed to work
#like he judges people for primarily using weapons that fire from a distance rather than physically fighting up close
#and I'm sure that Bruce doesn't care about things like that
#this story is taking that the approach that the Hulk’s ability to reason is solely limited to Bruce’s influence
#so that when they’re seperated the Hulk isn’t capable of reasoning at all
#which is not how the Hulk was portrayed when the two of them were separated previously
#and which I’m attributing to Bruce’s biased perspective on the Hulk rather than the reality of the situation
#I’m not sure how to word this right but I think my understanding of the Hulk’s problems
#is more focused on how his intelligence is understood than some other readers’
#like I’m not that convinced of the importance of the Hulk’s appearance and that he’s the strongest there is
#while they’re not not contributing factors I do think that the Hulk is devalued because he’s not intelligent
#that trying to kill him or ‘cure’ Bruce of them are seen as viable solutions to the problem of the Hulk
#because he’s essentially not worth saving
#and in turn that it’s particularly tragic that this happened to Bruce because he matters so much as an intelligent person
