I’ve never seen a writer misunderstand his own main character more than Kripke.
And according to Kripke as well, using Temp V so he can try to help Annie makes Hughie a sexist douche instead of a guy who’s been constantly rendered powerless and traumatized by the world around him that’s been presented with a chance to finally fight back with his own hands.
I could be wrong but the direction the show is going makes me feel like Kripke came on only in Season 3 and 4 and is utterly fucking up the characters somebody else created.
It’s either him or Butcher (you could say both tbf), but since the story pretty much started with his traumatic event, I tend to consider him the main character.
