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

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
