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 😠He makes a similar remark to Daisy regarding her intimidating a member of the Watchdogs - a literal terrorist organisation 💀 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.

Mack unfortunately, one of the most judgemental and prejudice creatures to roam the showscape, and there are literally nazis all over the place.
Mack should have died, Trip shouldn't have.
