>> In his own way, Hulk is just as smart as Bruce, <<
He really is. They share a genius-level brain, after all. They just tend to occupy different parts of it. So Bruce has the analytical skills while Hulk has the emotional and physical ones.
>> but with less experience having existed as a distinct person for less time. <<
This explains Hulk's initially narrow range of responses. As he gains experience, he becomes more flexible.
But it's also true that Bruce, along with most of the rest of society, values the emotional skills less and considers the physical ones to be ... rather crude in comparison. Not really helping them get along.
>> It's pretty cool seeing that. <<
Thank you! I'm glad it works for you. I tend to stick with some variation on these themes for Hulk.
