He reminds me so much of Lennie from OF MICE AND MEN.

Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale really captured the tragic, gentle monster side of Hulk better than almost anyone else.

The saddest tale Bruce has ever told.

Has real news of the world vibes

Ugh why does he look sad? He's already destroyed man kind what else does he want!?

7

u/Ahisgewaya Immortal Sep 02 '26

Because he didn't want to kill anyone at all. He underestimated his own power. That's what I think they were going for with this (assuming of course that you meant the original artists and not Seth Macfarland).

It was a Joke from Family Guy

He's bleeding, man!!

u/CursedSnowman5000 Sep 01 '26

Damn, he Lennied him.

Poor rabbit :(

Unfortunately, even he hadn't crushed the bunny, there's a none zero chance that bunny would have died from a panic attack. Poor Hulk doesn't know any better. He needs someone with him to both protect him and explain things to him.

u/GigglesGG Sep 01 '26

I like the detail of him gently lowering the bunny

3

u/Kira-Of-Terraria Sep 01 '26

And name him George

u/Relative_Mix_216 Sep 01 '26

ā€œTell me about the rabbits.ā€

u/Neurot5 Sep 01 '26

I feel like Hulk would know how to be gentle with children and small animals.

1

u/Ok_Dot_7498 Sep 03 '26

Well, later He would. But i allways thought this was before He got finde Motor controll.

u/NoktoftheFF Sep 01 '26

I'm sorry but does anyone else find the bunnies eyes really uncanny? Like dot get me wrong, I completely feel for Hulk in this scene but the bunny is just throwing me off

4

u/Rexlare Sep 02 '26

It’s the fact the eyes are forward facing and human-like. Nothing like actual rabbits

2

u/Slattern_pacificrim Sep 01 '26

This reminds me of the iron giant

u/addicted_to_trash Sep 01 '26

But I thought Hulk never kills....

u/dendawg Sep 01 '26

I don’t ever remember grey talking like Savage.

u/mister_helicopter Sep 02 '26

u/SuccessfulCost1106 Sep 02 '26

Literally printed out the ā€œFriendā€ page to put on my wall as a kid in high school

u/Fropper123 Sep 02 '26

Does… the rabbit have lashes?

u/OkAdvice8469 Sep 04 '26

Damn man I feel bad for hulk now that I saw this

u/thefoxishere16 Sep 07 '26

its Of Mice and Men all over again.

u/Zestyclose_Oil7229 Sep 01 '26

Reminds hulk has canonically never taken an innocent life... this bunny is evil and deserved to die

-48

u/Theofino161 Aug 31 '26

Okay. Hulk is a monster and deseves to die! Poor innocent bunny :(

u/PostalDoctor Aug 31 '26

He didn’t mean it. He didn’t know his own strength.

u/Bteatesthighlander1 Aug 31 '26

Wait until you find out about literally every carnivorous animal.

u/Kiwi_Kakapo Sep 01 '26

Nah that bunny was actually Thanos Larping as a rabbit with the reality stone

u/Tempomi760 Sep 01 '26

Calm down, Curley.
