The Incredible Hulk (1968) #269
#so Rick’s defense of the Hulk here is immediately undercut by his envisioning of a good outcome being Bruce’s mind in the Hulk’s body
#but that itself is interesting because is framed as not coming from a place of concern about the Hulk directly
#but anxiety about Rick’s own identity and place in the world when he’s defined himself as the Hulk’s sidekick
#his daydream values the Hulk only for his strength and wants to combine that with Bruce’s intelligence
#there’s nothing about the Hulk’s personality that’s brought up when thinking about the Hulk’s right to live
#and then at the end of the issue he tries to turn himself into a Hulk and says then that it's fine for Bruce to be cured
#really making it clear that he was not actually concerned about the Hulk
#I really do think that the fact that the Hulk isn’t intelligent makes the idea of eradicating him a lot more palatable
#not just from the problems that causes but that it devalues him in people's eyes both in and out of universe
#no he does not have a right to live because other people are clearly worth more
#and I like that Rick is falling into that because I really don’t see any reason why he wouldn’t
#like Jim Wilson is the one that I think actually understands and likes the Hulk and supports him for that reason
#whereas Rick is motivated by his debt to Bruce
#and I like that Betty is coming out and saying that she’s against Bruce identifying with the Hulk
#I honestly prefer her disliking the Hulk over her liking him
#because again it doesn't really make sense for her to feel positively about him
#I like that the narration describes Bruce as ‘thoroughly obsessed with himself’
#and that Bruce couldn’t even give Betty a nice moment out in the desert without freaking out
#it’s been a while since Bruce and Betty have been in a relationship so it’s good to see that drama again
#to think that I was frustrated with Rick and Betty’s return to the book
#because I thought the approach to their feelings about the Hulk and this arc about trying to cure Bruce was simplistic
#I've been in a bit of a slump with my Hulk readings but I genuinely think the Hulk's 'friends' treating him poorly is turning that around
#because I really like this
