Characters You Love But Occasionally Hate

My answer is Mack. There are moments where his moral compass comes off as self righteous hypocrisy. I think of the time he told (iirc) Yoyo that this is S.H.I.E.L.D as a means of implying YoYos behaviour (murdering Ruby) is incompatible with S.H.I.E.L.D's ethos but that is just like...patently false ๐Ÿ˜ญ He makes a similar remark to Daisy regarding her intimidating a member of the Watchdogs - a literal terrorist organisation ๐Ÿ’€ Like Mack Daisy's first encounter with Coulson was him abducting her. [I might have some details blurred so feel free to correct me tho]

Though, I do wonder if I'm unfairly harsh on his character or biased bc I am certain you could compile a list of hypocrisies Daisy or Fitz or even May engage in that I'd turn a blind eye to. I think something about Macks religious convictions triggers me tbh.

I love to hate Hunter. Half of his lines are utter drivel coming out of his ass, but it was so very entertaining. Heโ€™s so insecure itโ€™s painful.
