how often does the letter "w" occur in:
q: what did dr. strange say to scare red she-hulk? in issue 2 of the defenders volume 4 (written by matt fraction), red she-hulk needed to be scared in order to revert back to her human form (betty ross). dr. strange whispers something in her ear to trigger the transformation.




we the readers aren't privy to what dr. strange whispers in betty's ear, but she refers to him as "the creep" for the rest of the mission.
i've read all of the first six issues of the series, and they haven't referred back to this incident yet. do we ever find out what dr. strange whispered, or is this left up to our imagination?

a: it's a trope. when the plot demands something be said, but nothing actually said will live up to the moment or audience expectation, it is said in a whisper, with just the character's reaction shown as a way of fulfilling that expectation.
nothing written out will ever make this scene make sense in the context.
that said, there has been no references back to this yet. as any plot thread, it is left dangling and someone can always come back to it, even years later.
