      It's not just making a biggest monster, it's about the cosmic horror of what the Hulk was always originally about - the deep seated fear that our humanity is only a mask for the monsters within

      But it's also absolutely 110% about Having Moar Biggatons, man, let's not pretend it's not.

      It's about trying to give this kind of story stakes within a wacky superhero setting, sure It's because he's aware that this IS a setting where God objectively exists and doesn't want that to be the resolution to the story ("It can't be THAT bad, God's up there in Heaven")

      See I don't even think that sort of contorted-ass logic follows. Y'don't need to up the stakes to cosmic level "annihilation of all goodness" to be "this is a horrendous thing that destroys a person's ability to live a functional healthy life."

      But the Hulk's angst isn't just about SELF-loathing Or it doesn't have to be, that's not the darkest framing (a therapist would say acknowledging it really is only about himself would be the first step to Bruce healing)

      The Hulk's existence is a statement about the nature of the world Everything is a mask, everything is a surface, and whenever you peel that surface back you find something a lot uglier

      The trauma of child abuse isn't really just trauma over knowing your dad, in particular, was an asshole It's how your parents are your model for how you think the world as a whole behaves, for what God is like Those lessons once learned are not easily unlearned

      It's the whole thing where religion comes in in Heart of Darkness Kurtz's fiancée, the Beloved (a very Biblical term, from the Song of Solomon), who is more or less completely defined by her faith, and the contrast she paints to both Marlow and Kurtz

      Her whole conversation with Marlow is just her insisting that whatever happened to Kurtz and however painful his death was in his last moments God must've been there, God must've comforted him, he must have left the world bathed in the warm light of his faith

      And Marlow just silently agrees, even though he and we know that what Kurtz really saw on his deathbed could only be described as "The horror... the horror"

      I've always loved the Hulk precisely because what he's about is this very classic very highfalutin very literary theme about the duality and depravity of man But he's also the most cartoony wacky dumb superhero The power of comics to make metaphor literal

          I mean that's NOT a universal constant of the Hulk, is the thing. "The Hulk as the malicious tiger-force at the heart of all things" to blasphemously mix my metaphors here, is a specific thing *currently* popular right now, as opposed to older stuff encouraging synthesis.

          Which comes back to "basic conceits of this work are in constant flux and struggle as writers fight over Doing The Story They Want To Do With These Toys & Premises," which is ofc one reason the work has continued for so long.

          But yeah this is going from the pulpy idea of Jekyll and Hyde duality to the more literary Heart of Darkness duality If Kurtz as he is in Europe and Kurtz as he is in Africa are so different then that means Kurtz, as an identifiable meaningful singular identity, doesn't exist

          That's the horror, the "heart of darkness" That there's nothing really there - in Kurtz, whom everyone thought was the smartest most humane philosopher they knew There's nothing really there in anyone Which means there's nothing up there either
