      The joke is that Tony depends on exploiting lower class, working people. Hulk is suggesting investing in society, the poor. The next panel is Hulk launched into space (which happens for a different reason in the movies), because Tony doesn’t want Hulk to be listened to, because Tony would lose money.

        And how the fuck was I supposed to know that the generic cartoon with an obnoxiously large ass was supposed to be the hulk?

          Because Bruce banner is the hulk and always has those ripped pants. Bruce Banner is the human that turns into the Hulk.

          Context of Marvel lore, which is common in the US at least, but I don’t know where you’re from, so that’s a valid question

          I love the idea that you read a comic about how the answer to Hulk being dangerous was to just launch some random, big-assed dude into space and everyone is like “very normal, very obvious. Big green monster? Launch the gyatt!!”

            I was mainly confused becauause so-called Tony Stark said “The Hulk” and “You” in the same context. In the same sentence.

      Uhh, I can’t tell if this is a shitpost comment or not, but I’ll take the bait.

      Ideas like sharing and improving the situation for the poor are perceived as dangerous to rich people because they would need to treat labor they are exploiting as people. It would cut into their profits and therefore the luxuries they enjoy
