POST TEXT:
"So I can get typical shonen stuff about his character : desire for strength, fair fight , determination blah blah blah.
But the trouble I have in understanding really comes from his hypocrisy and weird moral compass. I have seen other explanations of this be something to the tune of "he's a kid, he's selfish and learning how the world works in the most extreme way possible". But while I understand the merit of that argument , it also does not make too much sense to me when I see the other kids in the series, namely, Killua. Killua does not act as selfishly as Gon , and throughout the series we see that he is less impulsive, more empathetic and honestly more well adjusted than Gon is despite the fact that thier childhoods are night and day. Killua was raised in a harsh environment since he was born and really wasn't given a break until he was like 15. Gon on the other hand was just chilling on a peaceful fishing island surrounded by nature in a loving home before the events in the show. Other MCs in shonen around Gon's age , who have the same mentality of"i wanna be the best" are usually more honest, selfless and let's be real here ; they don't turn into psychopaths when angry. (refrencing the thing with Komogi and pitou). I guess this is all my long winded way of asking ; what gives ? Gon didnt have a traumatic past like any of his peers and he has no reason to have a chip on his shoulder or anything to warrant having as much pride or the feelings on inferiority as he seems to show."

I LOVE THIS SHOW! .
BUT and this is a big BUTT , I don’t love the main character :
Look, don’t get me wrong, Gon is a decent protagonist and all but I think that like many other fans on their first watch I was a LITTLE taken back at how this guy did a complete 180 , going from the same wide-eyed kid in the Hunter exam arc to this RUTHLESS MONSTER in Chimera Ant Arc. I wanted answers , what was Gon’s problem? Why did he freak out, and almost die for some dude he knew for like 3 weeks ! What GIVES?:

-Why is Gon so selfish ?
-The argument that he’s a kid makes no sense because other kids in the show mainly KILLUA at his worst doesn’t turn into a monster when angry.
-Where does Gon get that chip on his shoulder ? he had no traumatic past , nothing to give him this inflated sense of pride. He’s not vegeta, bakugo or Escanor. So where did it come from and why is he willing to die for it ?
-MOST IMPORTANTLY : WHy was he willing to kill and DIE for some random dude he met ONCE as a kid and then traveled with for like two weeks????
