Buckle up, everyone, because it’s time for me to talk about all the reasons I love Lance fucking Hunter!

Hunter is an amazingly loyal, smart, emotionally intelligent, and selfless person who hides it all beneath a mask of sarcastic jokes and acerbic comments (especially re: Bobbi), and I wish he got more credit for all of the ways that he’s amazing, as an agent, a person, and a character.

From the very beginning we see Hunter’s duality; he claims that he’s only in S.H.I.E.L.D. for the money, but contradicts it quickly when, after watching his two best friends die in a car accident, he tells May to leave him to Talbot so she can chase after Creel. Even after being threatened by Talbot and offered both a substantial sum of money and, more importantly, a proper burial for his fallen friends, Hunter chooses to go back to Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D. Even when it gets difficult to stay (hello, ex-wife), Hunter does. He continues to show up for people when they need him, even at great risk to his own well-being. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Hunter believed he was going to be sent in front of a firing squad in Parting Shot, and he still didn’t sell out S.H.I.E.L.D. - despite being told not forty-eight hours earlier that May didn’t believe he was loyal enough to do it. Then, of course, after being on the run for two years (Most Wanted, anyone?), this man decides that he’s going to break into a high-security government facility to bust his best mate out? Loyalty at its finest.

Another thing that I really admire about Hunter as a person/character is his willingness to admit his emotions. It’s not something that we see a lot of male characters get to do, and I found it refreshing when he was able to do things like admit that he was wrong and sorry for shooting the team with ICERs in order to exact revenge on Creel. And sure, not all of his emotions are great ones, but his ability to be honest even when it’s not fun or even necessarily right (like telling Bobbi that he’s going to be better chasing after Ward without her and that he doesn’t want her in the field because he’s afraid for her) is something that I find interesting and cool.

I also think that Hunter doesn’t get enough recognition for his espionage skills. Sure, he’s not ever going to be like Bobbi or May, partially because of aforementioned emotionality, but he has some chops. He pins Bobbi’s intentions with him from the start of their relationship and continues to realize when she is lying to him, which is not an easy thing to do. He also escapes from Real S.H.I.E.L.D., dare I say easily? Like, I still laugh about it when I think that he literally peaces out of a helicarrier full of trained agents - partially, of course, because Bobbi doesn’t attempt to stop him, but he still dodges everyone else, which is something.

This isn’t to say that he doesn’t have flaws - my lord does this man have flaws - but I’ve always seen a lot of myself in Hunter in ways I don’t really see myself in other characters on AoS (especially in his need for approval!), and I love him a lot.
