>>Yes, exactly. For all his tendency to live in his head, what Bruce needs most is a sublingual, subconscious kind of reassurance. I think that's why Hulk bonded with Tony so fast and hard: because almost the first thing Tony did was offer food. <<
Tony has offered, in order, food, a "place to stay"-- coming from Tony, that meant more than some marriage proposals, given how protective he is of his personal places!-- mental challenge and acceptance in the same breath (re- Candyland), and a somewhat startling poke in the side... in short, Tony stepped into the role of "BIG BROTHER" without even realizing he'd done it.
I'm so glad to see them meet their needs for family in more open and direct ways, rather than glimpses and implications in between explosions and fist fights with villains. As a writer, do you find it more challenging to write the non-verbal aspects of a scene? Is it difficult to highlight the physical contact, physical needs, et cetera without relying on the characters discussing it?
