>>106539666>That's the bulk of late-20th century entertainmentThat's an un-quantifiable blanket statement unless you've got a cosmic media abacus that can infallibly count all media across the whole century and accurately discern the creators motivations in each items creation. Let's just say that the impact of nuclear technology is a major theme of the twentieth century and reflected humanities varied thoughts on said technology.
The Hulk was specifically created to be a modern Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde who mirrored the atomic age in his laudable goals and horrid repercussions the same way the original did for industrialization. Science, technology, energy, radiation, weapons, the military, the cold war and the relationship between all of them, that's the Hulk and Banner and you couldn't get the character without having a creator raised before the domination of atomic weapons on human society.
TL;DR The Hulk is unique among twentieth century entertainment for it's mixture of a nineteenth century legend with modern technologies that continues to stay modern even as the original technology ages because of it's human element being able to comment on the human elements use of technology to perpetuate horror.
