The Defenders (1972) #78
#I’m very intrigued by the portrayal of Dr. Strange’s mental influencing of the Hulk here
#from the Hulk’s perspective it’s very confusing to the point where I would assume it's distressing
#the Hulk was just standing outside Dr. Strange’s house even though he really doesn't like being in the rain
#because he didn’t necessarily want to go inside
#he was confused as to why he even came there in the first place
#it’s not as thought the Hulk ever really feels grounded in his settings
#he’s talked before about it being distressing to always be moving never knowing where he was going and so never knowing what to expect
#but when he does try to stop and think things through it takes time for him and is usually interrupted because that's just his life
#what Dr. Strange is doing here is essentially making that even harder for the Hulk
#though when the Hulk says 'Magician always says he is Hulk's friend- but Hulk doesn't want friends!'
#that's recognizable as just a reactionary thing to all the drama that's been going on in the Defenders recently
#because it's not true that the Hulk doesn't want friends
#but it is true that the Hulk sometimes finds maintaining his relationships with his friends to be difficult work
#and that he's not really willing to deal with it when he's in an upset state
#but then is up for it once he's had some time to himself to calm down
#from Dr. Strange’s perspective he could recognize that the Hulk was initially resisting his mystic mind probe
#but he didn’t take that as a signal to stop trying to summon the Hulk so I think he does feel a bit entitled to the Hulk’s help
#even though he characterizes their relationship as that he’s not trying to control the Hulk
#because he recognizes the Hulk as an individual worthy of respect
#it's nice on the surface but I'm not sure that's really how they're being portrayed here with how he was mentally influencing the Hulk
#instead of taking the time to reach out with an astral projection to ask him for help upfront
#but then the way he handles the Hulk inside the house is nice
#it's clear that he does understand the Hulk well enough to ask him for help in a way that the Hulk will respond well to
#so maybe he thinks it's ok because he assumes that the Hulk will genuinely want to help once it's presented to him in the right way
