Well, maybe. I mean, Hulk's supposed to not be very intelligent (not fond of moron, tbh, but I'm not calling you out here, just saying), and this is true. But the writers choose how to portray that, and when they choose to portray that as Hulk killing aliens because he thinks they're gay? Yeah, that's really not cool.

you could be right. the writer couldve just left that part out. im not trying to argue about it, im just saying-depending on which incarnation of Hulk it is, he could be stupid, vicious, with any number of bad character traits. Especially Ultimates Hulk. I wouldnt expect him to understand homophobia, or care.

but its totally possible the writer just did the scene cause he thought it was funny..

Yeah, but the Hulk doesn't exist independent of being written, drawn, animated, filmed, etc.

So we're not seeing how Hulk thinks, we're seeing the writer's thought processes. And the writer thought pantomiming a gay bashing with Hulk and aliens was funny? Yeah, I kind of guessed that when I read it. But that doesn't invalidate what I am saying.
