Strangers can also light a fire under you.
Fast forward to 2022. What comes across my feed, but an article about how Disney was developing an exoskeleton so that they could bring over-sized mascots to their parks… including the Hulk.
"F*@#$@#! Man, I had decades to make this happen", I told myself, "and I dropped the ball." Sad and pissed at myself I clicked on the article. Boy am I glad I did.
The Disney suit wasn't anything special to write home about. At all. I did more searches on YouTube to find a special presentation they did for investors about their "Project EXO". Come to find out, many of the ideas I had so far back were incorporated (the special kind of stilts, the finger rigs, the exoskeleton) into what they were doing! And, since I'm writing this really just for me, it was NO WHERE NEAR what it could have been. And the final suit they did? Puny. The face was covered by an Endgame helmet and the hands were stitched fabric mascot style.

Hulk Meet & Greet on Avengers Campus:
Barely functional and didn't look real at all. Whew! Crisis averted… for now.
I told myself, "F@#$@# it. I want this costume for me. I want it badly enough. I'm gonna make it happen!" So I started again.
How is it that they have millions of dollars, but don't have a suit that's up to snuff? It boggles the mind. So many upgrades that I've been dreaming about for a decade are needed for their suit.
Look, this might come off a little cocky, but I just think that it could be better. A lot better.
