The Defenders (1972) #85
#oh gosh ok the bit where the hulk says#‘What is wave doing attacking Hulk? Hulk will smash wave for this!’#made me fondly say ‘baby’ out loud#I love how the Hulk interprets everything unpleasant for him as an attack against him#it’s so charming#the Hulk genuinely is under attack a lot of the time#but he’s so sensitive and paranoid that he will feel under attack even when he’s not actually#he’s just so stressed out all of the time#and this is largely from the trauma of being attacked so much but it can’t all be attributed to that#like as I was saying before- no person needs to hurt the Hulk for him to get overwhelmed by the sights and smells and sounds of a city#and then smash it#because he typically lashes out physically when overwhelmed and hurt#regardless of if there’s a specific person that can be reasonably blamed#he’s both developmentally disabled and narratively cursed to always be going through terrible events#and I like how Namor approaches that here with ‘his savagery is not his fault’#and so ‘I must remember not to let his brutish mouthings anger me’#in an ideal world the Hulk would be able to grow in a way#where his friends wouldn’t have to just remember to not take his bad behavior personally#but they don’t live in an ideal world#and the Hulk has made a lot of progress in his time with the Defenders in regards to being a better friend#but that’s a slow-going process that’s only been possible because they make allowances for him#marvel#bruce banner#namor the sub mariner#my posts#comic panels
