here's the basic plot to world war hulk, from the hulk's point of view.
"i was running around, killing people and causing massive structural damage to buildings and general city infrastructure, so a group of my peers, all of whom i have long-standing relationships with, decided it would be best if i wasn't running around threatening people's lives anymore. assholes, right? so they decide to trap me in a ship and attempt to give me the very thing i've been asking for ever since i became the hulk; to be left alone. they scope out a nice planet for me, and send me on my way. but, oh no, i get sucked into a wormhole they couldn't have predicted and which i know for a fact is powerful enough to even draw in the silver surfer. puny humans must've planned this shit. so then i'm on a world and it's explained that i can be injured due to having travelled through the wormhole, but i will consistently blame the humans for putting me here. so i become king or whatever, marry and sex up a girl who originally wanted to kill me, and then the ship i came in blew up. ****in' humans. always trying to take away what i have, and if you weren't paying attention, what i have usually turns out to be homocidal tendencies. so anyway, now i'm heading back to earth with people i've continuously referred to as "not friends," but whatever, and we're gonna kill everybody because a few guys tried to help. i'm clearly the only guy who has ever lost someone that was close to me, so my rage is unprecedented and incomprehensible to these little humans. i plan to smash, because despite my ability to think rationally in hulk form, i'm really not good for anything besides big action scenes and shock value in big events like this."
if i was spending money to read this crap, i'd stop.
Agreed.
Like I was saying earlier, what the hell makes all of Hulk's losses so original? Wolverine's lost tons more, Daredevil's been through some rough shit, so has Spider-man.
Xavier's own son went back in time and raped his mother. Creepy much? Every god damn X-man and x-women has lost someone dear to them, bottom line is they're just more mature than Hulk. Who can honestly agree with the way he's dealing with things?
If he's so intelligent, he'd realize that strength is how the primates and neanderthals deal.
If Hulk's so incredibly smart, then he should realize that tampering with the god damn ship wasn't such a good idea. Now he's a class million baby who picked up TP resistance and a jobber aura at the market, and is trying to take out his anger on someone who tried to help him.
