Hulk is a warning against unmanaged anger, but also a decent blueprint for dealing with anger in real life. They talk about how anger isn t an inherently bad thing, though being always angry maybe isn t the finding healthy outlets for anger, and how the duality of Banner, Hulk is a heightened version of what most people deal with having different sides of ourselves and learning to recognize and manage our emotions. We even get into a bit of neuroscience, and talk about the different portrayals of Bruce Banner, Hulk by Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo.
