At some point I want to write a whole thing about how Hunter is a complete deconstruction of the Mentor Figure. I often think about how he's definitely set up like one initially and then proceeds to teach Omega essentially jack shit because he never had any idea what's going on. Hunter cannot mentor he doesn't know how that works, he confronts every issue with the sullen weight of someone that needs an adultier adult but knows that there isn't one available.

#the bad batch #if anyone is the mentor in this show its actually Omega she's the one changing people's outlooks on things #tech has moments of mentoring her but past the actual act of teaching the Emotional moments between them #are more figuring out things together on equal terms than him Mentoring her in the traditional fashion #but Hunter is definitely not the mentor he is Confused #i think about this a lot because sometimes people suggest Hunter will suffer a Traditional Mentor Death #which is possible but i don't think it fits into his character because it wouldn't serve Omega's arc #because i just don't think he occupies that exact place in her mind #theres a lot twisted up about the traditional archetypes purely by the fact that she's technically the oldest
