    Read that and this, and that still doesn't answer it. Avengers aren't pro phoenix on this story, it was the Phoenix that made them fight.

    Hahaha, nice

    I call Aaron The Destroyer's Jen "She-Brute" or simply "The Brute", but to each their own.

    Why do people not like Jen as "Hulk"?

    Because it takes away everything that made the character interesting: her quirky personality, her intelligence, breaking the fourth wall, her fun-loving nature, her cheerfulness, her unique dare I say sexy look. It reduces her to nothing more than the Incredible Hulk after a sex change in terms of appearance, personality, and actions.

    I guess so. But I've never understood why she gets to be "sexy" and he gets to be a "monster". Is it because she's female?

    Editorially, it was to make the characters unique I believe to better differentiate them.

    In-universe, it is explained that Jen has more control from the start over her transformation so it mirrors what she wants to be rather than what she fears becoming (other than a brief period of transition near the start). Remember, due to the abuse he suffered at the hands of his sadistic father, Bruce Banner is one messed up dude who has plenty of inner demons he is suppressing before the gamma bomb incident.

    That's true, Bruce does have more emotional trauma. I guess it just didn't seem to make sense to me how every female hero has to be "beautiful" but male ones get to be "ugly"

    Ah yes, but, no matter how "ugly" they are nearly every male hero or villain (90% at least) has the chiseled muscular body of a Greek god regardless of age.

    I guess you could look at it that way but the main thrust of her character is how she's different from Bruce and embraces her Gamma form when Bruce doesn't, and how it contrasts with the normal Hulk transformation.

    That's pretty much how 90% of fictional verses work.

    Males are generally always huge, buff and older to look more warrior like rather than young Justin Bieber or Anduin from Warcraft universe lol.

    Females generally always look young, beautiful and are much less muscular but they still have some muscles on them.

    It's a common trope in fictional stories.

    This, exactly this. Both sexes are almost always physically "idealized". People expect them to be at this point if not consciously certainly subconsciously.

    That's true, and I'm not a fan of that either. But women usually aren't sexualized for being powerful like men usually are. And not all muscularization of male characters is a form of sexualization

    I see. I think her personality can still be intact even if she looks more monstrous.
