Character development? Pff! We're throwing more death-ray tanks at the Hulk, and we need someone to be responsible!Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-57443740481554508582016-03-14T19:55:33.288-04:002016-03-14T19:55:33.288-04:00Now seeing this, I too find myself wondering what ...Now seeing this, I too find myself wondering what he's think of his becoming the Red Hulk in the future, and if he's be able to come to terms with that.<br />Shit did Loeb even read this when he turned Ross into the Red Hulk, or did he just not care and think his development served Ross's overall story better?<br />In hindsight now, probably not, but the Marvel heads' let him go through with it anyways, no doubt seeing the potential $ to be made off this.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-51101481008045053272014-01-15T06:18:31.051-05:002014-01-15T06:18:31.051-05:00No, I think Mantlo had it right. The choice Ross ...No, I think Mantlo had it right. The choice Ross ended up making--living with disgrace--was the harder road to take, and the greater dishonor in terms of being a visible symbol of the stain you've brought to your career and your country. Perhaps Ross was thinking that a self-inflicted gunshot would be the quick and honorable way of righting a wrong, for the good of the service--but wouldn't go as far as enduring the penance he felt was necessary. It's an interesting subject for debate--that, in such a moment, equating honor with suicide might actually seem the correct course of action for some.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-59056575864756442912014-01-14T22:57:42.510-05:002014-01-14T22:57:42.510-05:00Hmm.

As Ross puts away his gun, I wonder if Bill Mantlo meant "That way's too easy...too DIShonorable."<br /><br />As many people may know, we can't ask Bill, who was permanently incapacitated in a senseless accident over two decades ago. Apparently, his brother has a website where you can make donations for his long-term care.maw mawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750969504864005256noreply@blogger.com
