The funny thing is a huge B-plot of Jessica Jones -- the Nuke and Hellcat arc -- revolves around the idea that there was a fairly well-known super-soldier project in the Army for decades starting with the War on Terror But you know how these subplots go

The character Will Simpson on Jessica Jones was based on, Nuke, was even clearly a knockoff of Super-Patriot/US Agent when he first appeared in the comics Like they already did this whole thing with the toxic masculinity roid rage stuff on another show

the "super soldier serum" has this whole legendary aura about it precisely because it produced captain america, but actually 80% of the reason cap was a legend was steve himself now all these idiots are chasing after "the serum!" because they want another legend

The amended version of Bruce Banner's backstory in The Incredible Hulk is kind of stupid and weak ("He thought it was just a totally benign vaccine against radiation sickness!") so I tend to headcanon that Bruce was, in fact, deliberately trying to recreate the serum

"erskine's lost formula" has in fact been recreated many times, it's just erskine's formula was a crazy dangerous procedure and shooting a dude with a bunch of "vita rays" mostly just kills or hideously mutates him steve just rolled a natural 100 on the random table

I am very attached to the Hulk as a character and how he embodies Erskine's warning that "What is good becomes great, but what is bad becomes worse" -- only with him both things are the same thing (his boundless fucking rage)

i have never liked the hulk precisely because i have a very low opinion of rage

The idea of someone who can't deal with their own baggage and constantly lashes out at others as a result is pretty loathsome to me. Relatedly, MCU Hulk is basically just the "Men will literally ____" meme. Except he eventually went to therapy.

I mean, he tried, and the whole Bruce Banner/Hulk split is the result of him attempting to apply certain therapeutic principles that are not always helpful (to put it diplomatically)

I guess this is a controversial thing to say but it is definitely possible to misapply the stuff they tell you in CBT/DBT in a way that amounts to gaslighting yourself out of your anger

Anyway, even though there's obviously a level on which the Hulk is a childish fantasy about violent temper tantrums and has shitty fans as a result of that, it's not only that Like I don't think the Hulk really works unless you understand being the Hulk as a terrible curse
