IMO it was a pretty clever choice. It kinda breaks the rule that everything depends of MC actions :D It helps develop other characters than Luz,Eda,King. It makes other characters usefull and intresting. It changes the dynamics in the group. It helps to put Hunter's arc into important place in the story. He kinda became the second MC in some of those episodes :) What's more - Luz and Hunter are like lenses,which helps us to see the world around them from the completely different angle.

I mean.. I wouldn't say it was the BEST thing they could've done (it was more of a narrative compromise than anyhting else). Willow and Gus getting more screentime is all well and good, but toward the end of the season, it felt like too much of Hunter's major development (moments that should've belonged to him, where he had time to properly address his issues on his own) were overshadowed by other characters. It'd be like if Sasha (from Amphibia) _always_ had to share her episodes with Anne or the Plantars, and never got the chance to form her own friend group. At the end of the day, it was her realizing her mistakes and forming new convictions on her own that made her arc so powerful. If her development had to rely on Anne and the Plantars as a narrative crutch, it'd severely damage her agency and potential to become a character who can stand on equal footing with Anne (or Marcy, to a lesser extent). Ideally, I think it would've been cooler if Hunter developed his own friend group completely independent from Luz and her literal best friends. Imagine if, over the course of an alternate season 2 (and 3, perhaps), we saw him gradually build stronger rapports with the characters he already has YEARS of history with. For example, we could've seen him reconcile with Lilith and Kikimora, or strengthen his existing rapports with Steve, Darius, and perhaps even Raine. In fact, ignoring all the ships, I actually think seeing him befriend the Blight Twins (who are his age) instead of Willow and Gus, would've been a step in that direction.

Also, I don't see how him befriending Lilith would've been better, and Kikimora is just off the table for obvious reasons. I straight up hope they don't redeem her because her being a despicable little gremlin is a huge part of her character, she has not regards for anyone other than herself and the only reason she ever does anything that's "right" is because of her own selfishness.

Yellow is Belos' color 😬 just look at the draining spell and the palace and the literally golden guards. Red is kinda Eda's color.

Damn, his mentality being raised by Belos is so... heartbreaking. Like "everyone has a use, and if you don't... Byebye!". That truly fits Belos, he simply uses people and throws them away when they're no longer useful, and Hunter has that engraved in his head, that he's just there for serving and, if he doesn't, he's out. Also, I think the "literally digging his own grave" is the closest we can get to a suicidal character in these kind of shows, in my opinion, and it suits him.

This is how you produce good character development. Hunter has always been my favorite and from the first time seeing him, he has shown promise that he would be a character that wants to do right, but his youth and upbringing made him oblivious to the true nature behind Belos' evil. From then on, his connections with Flapjack, Gus, Willow, and Darius taught him to rebel and be surrounded by those who care about him while giving Hunter people to connect with.

Hunter clearly got his moral standards from Philip Wittebane's brother, Caleb Wittebane. Clearly, Flapjack used to be Caleb Wittebane's palisman before his evil brother Philip Wittebane murdered him for falling in love with a female witch and Flapjack probably received that scar on his left eye from Philip Wittebane. "Any Sport in a Storm" and "Labyrinth Runners" are some of my favorite episodes because they focus on Hunter and his relationship with the secondary characters instead of focusing on the main characters.

And while Hunter admits to never hanging out with witches his age, he never really expressed interest in doing so either. What I'm saying is, there wouldn't _be_ a mask to maintain, because that's just the person he would've grown up to be.

The thumbnail has the energy of an older sibling getting into trouble caused by the younger sibling as they just smiles smugly.

It's ironic that Hunter was able to realize the "Willow Park" he and Gus encountered in the school hallways is actually an imposter hiding behind an illusion because Gus has known Willow Park much longer than Hunter has since Hunter met Willow only once. Severine's uncharacteristic portrayal as Willow by portraying her as a scared little girl is what made Hunter realize the "Willow" he and Gus encountered in the school hallways wasn't the actual Willow Park because Hunter knows that the real Willow Park isn't a scared little girl and that she would never be afraid of Hunter. Hunter pointing that out to Gus is what made Gus realize Hunter's correct about the "Willow" they recently encountered in the school hallways isn't the actual Willow Park and Gus even berated himself for being incapable of telling Willow apart from an illusion when he was being held captive by Adrian Graye Vernworth and two unnamed Coven Scouts in the gymnasium.

Luz and Hunter is very much sibling energy ✨

7:41 i like how Heunter is kinda jealous to Gus

Hunter deserves so much love

When first watching the show, I had first thought Belos was Phillip and I was just waiting for the reveal or more evidence to show because it just seemed like an obvious plot twist to me but with the introduction of Hunter and him addressing Belos as his Uncle and talking about his family, I thought my theory was proven wrong because of the assumed family relationship with Belos and if Belos was a human and Hunter was his nephew, that would mean that Phillip's sibling had to have come into the witch world as well and at the time, it only mentioned Phillip being the only human that has entered before Luz. So I had to be wrong, I thought. I was just absolutely in love with how Hunter through me and probably a lot of people off to have Belos's plottwist of him being Phillip much more interesting because not only was it. "HE'S PHILLIP?!" It was also, "I KNEW IT!!". And, I love how they really used Hunter for the story and gave him his own background, character development and really allowed us to fall in love with him as a character instead of just using him to further show Belos's power and how he can get people to mindlessly follow him and to hide us from the plot twist about Phillip. (Also note: I know Hunter calling Belos, "Uncle" doesn't mean an automatic family relationship because you can call someone Uncle, Aunt, cousin, etc and not have a family relationship with them. When I heard it, I assumed it was a family relationship and wasn't thinking a close bond between people because due to Hunter's position of following Belos.)

TOH isn’t perfect but it has the best character arcs I’ve ever seen in a show

15:51 NOOOOOO! Just not cutting out Hunter's blush 😭

Why is he so adorable-

He’s honestly one of my favorite character arcs since Zuko in ATLA. He’s an abuse victim who just wanted his father figure to love him or at the very least acknowledge his existence, but Belos is a genuine monster who will never care about Hunter. Despite not getting nearly the same amount of screentime as characters with similar arcs, I genuinely believe he’s changed completely by the end because the narrative is so strong. I love, for example, how he befriends characters like Willow and Gus without anyone else’s intervention. His changes are all from his own choices, and that’s awesome to see. And seeing him go from fighting for something he’ll never have and constantly feeling inadequate to being happy and breaking free from Belos’ influence is so rewarding to watch. I mean, I’m also super biased because I am obsessed with angry pretty boys/ bastards with hearts of gold. I sometimes feel like Dana Terrace did that mind invasion spell on me to make him lol.

he looks so happy eating his bread with Gus

BYEEEEEEEEEE!!! -Hunter, one of my favorite characters ever

💀💀 “Sad but bad boi” have become his new nick name

1:13 has got to be my favorite scene in that episode lol Hunters face kills me everytime 😭

5:51 Ultimate anime moment

bunch of recent comments calling him weak or a joke. weird as hell. he's a child (y'all forget he's 16) that's been abused and used his whole life and the whole foundation of everything he's ever known has been shaken all in one season. he thought he was helping for a good cause when in reality he was aiding a tyrant set to destroy their world. I think he's reacting to trauma realistically. it can shut you down completely when facing it head on. I think he's still strong, but he's been meant to believe he's not cause he went against his abuser. and abusers will make you feel weak to the point where you start believing it and showcasing that physically. in hunter's case: being told he has big plans, to feeling like he'd be tossed aside if he didn't bring anything to the table, to literally finding out the things belos has done to the previous golden guards after going against him (the abuser). s2 never ends with hunter actually confronting belos. even in their last moment in king's tide, hunter froze when belos showed his actual face and asked him, "why are you hurting me?" I see a lot of flack for how they handled Hunter in the s3 special, but I think it was realistic. it shows that hunter merely removed himself from the abusive environment, but never dealt with it. (though I'm so glad he had those moments. he finally got to feel like a kid his age, and have INTERESTS that weren't about being a pawn in the emperor's coven.) we knew belos would follow them into the human realm so idk why people were so shocked with what happened. it gave hunter an opportunity to actually stand up to belos and that says a lot. recovery from an abusive relationship (familial, platonic etc) is not linear. you'll take 2 steps forward and maybe 4 steps back. I feel like we still have to give him time. and be a lil more understanding cause of the whole cancellation situation. I bet they're doing their best to crunch as much as they can into these specials. maybe the flapjack thing was pushing it tho, I agree with that cause like poor boy :(.

@@NotSoStraight yw! majority of toh's characters are really well written (imo) for a show that's trying to get as much done with what little they've been given :(. and hunter has grown to become a long lasting favorite of mine that I feel like I have to defend him by showing how amazing he is through my, a fan's, perspective! 💗

Thanks for the time stamps! Also “Local teen gets harassed by sister” NAH NAH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💅💅💅💅💅💅💅💅💅💅

Oh my gosh, Willow was crying here 10:21

This is really useful to recap after the newest episode of season 3

"Local teen gets harassed by his sister" 💀

I love these chapter titles.

“Byeeeeeee”

My favourite line from hunter is:BYEEEEEEEEE

I’ve always loved hunters character and had a feeling he would develop into an amazing character

His eye bags look a little smaller. Maybe they’ll be gone completely in Season 3?

“The emperor is not a merciful man. BYEEEEEEE” -Hunter

That's right, in addition to the fact that the darling has the right to receive a redemption arc on a platter and still almost takes over the main plot of the show, he even overshadows the other main characters on purpose to have the "deserved" prominence just to make clear the scriptwriters' favoritism

After watching the first special knowing flapjack is actually Evelyen makes sense why they stook by hunter this entire time 🥰🥰

Ahhhhh I did not even notice that somehow, this is such a well rounded and amazing story❤️

Hunter: “the Emperor is *NOT* a merciful man.“ Also Hunter: “ *BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* 😍💅“

This was rly nice

“I dOnT SpeAk PaLisMan.”… “here’s the plan.” To me that was hilarious

Hunter is basically a second main character at this rate

Luz and Hunter are two of my favourite characters along with King.

We better get a call back to current Hunter screaming "BYEeeeEEEEEEE" in the last episode or so help me god Can we talk about how Hunter sassed Amity's dad at 19:18? I thought that was funny lol

Flapjack told him to call himself Caleb =P also! In the subtitles when Belos sees Flapjack it says “Kill him” but it sounds an awful lot like he said “CALEB?!” Which adds to the theory of Flapjack once being “Caleb’s” palisman, aka Belos’s brother, as the theory is his brothers name was Caleb =D
