I keep thinking about how in "Thanks To Them" Luz and Hunter were more central than all of the other characters. And the ONLY EPISODE that Luz isn't in-- "Labyrinth Runners" is a Hunter-centric one, where he kind of acts as the protagonist for the episode. Despite not being in ALL of season 1, I think he might be at least the 4th most central character in the series, after Luz, Eda, and King. Which is kind of funny.
Anyway, I made this drawing of our favorite scarred siblings!
I kind of wonder if they would have a sibling rivalry for the main character role.
Saraah-Nicole Robles (Luz VA) was asked how Hunter would have reacted to Luz's death in WAD, and she said, "He would have been like, "Oh, cool! I'm the main character, now!" 😂 And then said, more seriously, "No, he would have shed a single tear and then had a mental breakdown."
(Note: Paraphrasing a little!)
P.S.
Also, traditionally, heroes are supposed to die and often be resurrected, which happened to both of them! I think it's kind of funny how Hunter went from a villain side-character to one of the most important characters in the series.
Just info dumping about them, I guess! :) Lol
