18. [WARNING for suicide]
http://i.imgur.com/Ti3ff.jpg

[insanenoodlyguy]

We have to respect what Hulk wants too. And Hulk does not want to die.

Puny, selfish Banner.

[mekkio]

Hulk still hasn't been to Vegas. Wants to see Celine Dion.


But, yeah, I agree. Also, if Hulk is a part of Banner, his id in giant form, then deep down, Banner doesn't want to die either. He just wants the pain to stop.

[(Anonymous)]

But if Hulk did want to die, Hulk would be out of luck.

THANK YOU... I- I didn't really know how I feel about suicide, the fact I think about it so much but know I wouldn't- but that's it. Knowing that it's possible. Is enough to help. You're right, it upset me to the core that one little scene.

[unicornherds]

I have no idea about the reference - haven't seen the film - but I totally agree with you. Sometimes just knowing there is a final option is a comfort in a weird kind of way. I got through some really awful times with the thought "If this doesn't work, you can always kill yourself." It's not exactly healthy but whatever keeps you going and gives you comfort in dark times.

[(Anonymous)]

Bruce Banner was telling everyone else that they couldn't kill him even if they tried -- because he once tried to blow his brains out to get rid of the Hulk, but couldn't, because when he pulled the trigger the Hulk came out and spit the bullet out harmlessly.

Also known as that scene where someone pulled out my heart and intestines and took a three hole punch to them before shoving them back in. :(

[partialsatyr]

man i know exactly what you're talking about. it's a weird comfort, almost a way of feeling in control i guess. like, no matter how bad things get, you'll always have this option. but uh, proooobably not the best coping mechanism, huh

[intrigueing]

That scene ;_;

I've never been suicidal so I have no idea what that would feel like, but the combination of hopelessness and matter-of-fact-ness and a million other layers and implications in that scene was so heartbreaking it made stomach clench up into knots every time I saw it. :(

[(Anonymous)]

I've never been suicidal, but one day, for some reason, I was imagining what it would be like if I had a terrible accident and was completely paralyzed - I think I even threw in blindness for extra drama - and I realized that in that situation I would be so completely helpless that I couldn't even kill myself if I wanted to. It was an absolutely terrifying thought. I think I'm far more scared of ever being in such a situation than I am of dying. Even a relatively slow, painful death would be preferable, I think, to not being able to do hardly anything and just lying there, quietly going insane until I get pneumonia or something.

[intrigueing]

Oh god. Why would you remind me? My greatest fear on earth -- I mean LITERALLY the one thing that terrifies me more than anything else I can possibly imagine -- is being brain-damaged to the point of losing all my intelligence and reason and not being able to think or reason or comprehend. The idea of living like that, and not being able to even comprehend my situation so that I can end it, is so horrifying I seriously can't even. I'm sure that for some other people, it's not the worst prospect they can imagine, but for me personally it's worse than anything I can think of.

It's so frightening I actually once thought about asking my sister to promise to murder me if that ever happened to me, but I don't want her to get caught and jailed or anything, or get totally fucked-up by the experience.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel bound to point out that most people in those situations neither go insane, nor are they suicidal. In fact, the greater risk they face is that able-bodied people will assume their situation is "not worth living" and take the decision out of their hands, even though they want to live. This becomes especially insidious where other people think they should make a decision to have support switched off, or not have an illness treated, or seek assisted suicide. It starts to make it seem like they are being selfish for wanting to live.

I feel I have to bring it up, because every so often a charismatic, articulate person who is very disabled wants the right to be killed by others without the others ending up in court, which of course the court system cannot guarantee, and the media sets up this narrative of how nightmarishly unworth living such a disabled life is, how the person can no longer contribute like they used to, how we should have sweeping changes to the law so that people aren't prosecuted for killing the severely disabled as long as they "asked", and everyone basically ignores that fact that most disabled people, even most people who are completely paralysed, do not want such a law to come in, and are afraid of what would happen if it did. That such a law would be dangerous.

[(Anonymous)]

I absolutely agree.

[darkmanifest]

Yeah, that one moment did more to drive home the true horror of being the Hulk more than the previous Hulk movies combined (without sacrificing the cool and humorous aspects).

I also wonder what it would take to kill the Hulk without, like, tossing him into a supernova. If a bullet to the head can't get him, then anything that Banner's body or subconscious mind has a millisecond of "oh shit" reaction to would trigger the Hulk like a reflex. I can't imagine being Banner sitting up at night wondering if he'll be the only thing left roaring into the abyss if even the entire planet went boom. Abilities like that are disturbing.

[visp]

Well, um... take comfort in the fact that it's just fiction and in real life, you will always be able to commit suicide if you really want to? That sounds wrong, somehow.

But, I suppose, that's why we have the 'right to die' legislation and stuff, isn't it? Because people should be able to make that choice.

[elaminator]

I do agree, tbh. Not that I think I could ever kill myself (too scared of death), but knowing that it's an option is...kinda nice? Which sounds morbid as hell, but...hey. There are things worse than death imo, and Bruce's situation is unthinkably horrifying to me.

[(Anonymous)]

I totally get what you mean. I've finally found a combination of meds that quiets my depression and has restored me to my best self (that sounds sooooo cheesy) but the option of suicide is still an odd comfort. There's a weird freedom in knowing that the option of checking out is there for you.

[deadtree]

agreed. And the fact that the first time I saw the film the audience cracked up at that scene really upsets me :\

[barnabys_bane]

I don't have the same experience with suicide as you do, but this scene stuck with me. A few people in the theater I saw this in laughed at this part. I guess it was because they were uncomfortable or something, but damn.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, I never realize that I felt this way RE suicide. I know I won't do it, but it's comforting to know it's a possibility.

[(Anonymous)]

When I saw the film in theaters, people laughed at that line. Multiple times that I saw it.

I was horrified and disgusted. I've been suicidal, and OP, I know exactly what you mean. I literally felt like throwing up when people started laughing at - mocking - a suicidal man who was unable to even exercise enough control over his life to end it.

[(Anonymous)]

OP, I feel you. When it comes down to it, the decision about your own life or death is one of the most personal. Being so powerless that you can't even choose your own ultimate outcome is terrifying.

[mutantjules.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I know exactly what you mean. ;___________; that scene. Bruce omg <3 <3

Never watch "Groundhog Day"

[(Anonymous)]

It's worse.

[(Anonymous)]

Aww, nonny. I totally agree that this line is terrifying and effective in what it implies.

Since the Hulk is Bruce on some level, would it make you feel better to think that Bruce's suicide attempt was just that, an attempt from which he consciously or subconsciously wanted to be rescued? If Hulk is a protective response to Bruce's wounded inner child, then maybe if Bruce truly believed that death was the best way for him and would bring him peace, then Hulk would let it happen.
