I agree with this. This was not the Hulk. This was a Hulk distracted. Ben, though had major motivation from his honeymoon bride.
And does Alicia now have the Puppet Master Powers? When did this happen? Is this a major revelation of this story? If Alicia is now the Puppet Master, then the F4 are now the F5. Alicia is not dead weight anymore. It has some very creepy connotations. For instance, will Alicia now carry around a clay doll of the Thing for him to do her bidding when she wants? The possibilities here are endless.

She had puppet master like powers in earth x.
As for thing vs hulk thing beat him when he was spikey (thing was stronger in that form even shocking kang when they fought) and hulk was mr fix-it however doom (of course it was doom.) sent a robot green hulk to help mr fix it and they teamed up on a tired thing and almost killed the thing!
The other time was hulk vs thing the big change that ended with thing getting the last laugh on hulk. They did a arm wrestling story also with them getting attacked by bad guys but both ignored them to do their annual arm wrestling match. (looks like they do this every year.) Ended in a draw due to the table breaking!
It happened in the FF Wedding Special (which preceded FF #5); when Ben visited her step-dad for his permission (just as a formality), at first he opposed it then suddenly agreed to it; and Ben returned to Alicia with the news, who surreptitiously just dumped a clay model of her step-dad in the trash.

I thought Puppet Master's puppetry was a technique and not a exclusive power anyway.

All the great heroes are like that. Superman, Spider-Man, most of shonen manga heroes.
Some of their best moments are when they break the limits and do something the stats deemed impossible.
Also I must admit it was fun to see Mr "win my fights with emotional power ups" get a taste of his own medicine.
Bringing back the old, killing the young: that's the Marvel way
Yea and it's laziest, most cliche thing ever.
I am all for characters breaking their limits and all but at some point it's just comical.
The problem with Hulk and his emotional power ups is that it's embedded into his character, they are part and parcel of him since the beginning, i can tell you are not a fan of Hulk i dunno what he did to upset you, but Hulk getting stronger with anger is an actual power of his, Thing doing something because Alicia gave him a talk no jutsu amp is not really a part of his powerset lol.

A great story, but a theme that's not unique to Grimm.
My main problem aside from the mind control, is that Ewing just spent 22 issues showing How much damage the Hulk can take, and keep going including being cutto pieces or having most of his head blown off, and not only survive, but remain conscious.
And Ben just sorta hits him and in the head. Joe even took a bullet to the head in Banner's body and kept mouthing off.
It just doesn't match up, at all, with what Ewing and Bennett been doing in the Immortal Hulk. Hulk straight up didn't have a healing factor in this. Or resistance to mind control.
Why? Well because then the story wouldn't work.
If you're gonna have Thing beat the Hulk fine, but explain how he overcomes these things.
