Some moments where Lukas is slightly douchey (or more so just arrogant) for no particular reason for those who are interested in his character development and/or need something to refer back to (me):
There's a few interactions when you talk to Lukas for the first time after Aiden picks on Jesse n their friends and Petra comes by ("If you're cool with Petra, you're cool with us.")
Most of these responses have the same vibe to them:
"We’re going to crush you."
"I don’t know if you know this, but... we’re pretty good... oh. Wait. I get it. It’s like a joke, right?"
"No, I'm serious. We're going to destroy you."
"Ha! Y'know, you're really funny. That's awesome. Hey, good luck."
"May the best team win."
"Careful what you wish for."
And even when we directly tell Lukas that Aiden needs to learn to be nicer, he does dismiss it with things that people often say when someone calls out bullying. ("He's just trying to get in your head...")
Even when you (optionally) talk to him later, if you lost and choose to say, "we would have beat you", you get the following interaction:
"We both know that if Aiden hadn't done what he did, my team would've won."
"Uh, what we ACTUALLY both know is that my team had the stronger design ..."
He will admit what happened isn't something he supports or endorses, but he does enjoy bragging rights and seems to view this all as a playful rivalry rather than a hostile one(?)
One interaction I always found particularly interesting, though...
"You know, that stunt your friend pulled really hurt my pig."
"Okay, maybe, but I had nothing to do with that."
Technically, yes, Lukas is correct in his statement here. Lukas didn't have anything to do with Aiden getting jealous and setting Reuben on fire. But that statement, combined with the dismissiveness of Aiden's behaviour? it feels somewhat. defensive? especially because Jesse never says it was Lukas' fault; meaning it's very much Lukas trying to justify the situation and tell himself "It's not my problem.", even if it's rather obvious to others that he is complicit.
also honourable mention when you go back to Ivor's hideout to get Lukas and when he asks Jesse for any ideas on what to do and you don't say anything:
"I guess I could get used to living in a chest. At least I'd probably starve to death before getting tired of the view."
Also even as a kid there was one exchange Axel and Lukas have in the nether that always entertained me:
"Your throat's going to be sore later, Axel."
"Why?"
"I'm just saying, I mean... wasn't that you doing all that screaming before? Sounded like you were really shredding your larynx."
there's probably almost definitely more, but these are the ones a could think of (all found in ep1)
Also if Lukas leaves the hut/treehouse, there's a comment from Axel stating:
"Add up all the times he was a jerk to us, and this doesn't compare."
Obviously we don't actually know if this is the case, especially with how volatile Axel can get when it comes to those he feels threatens his friends' safety; we don't exactly get too much of an idea how Lukas was pre-s1, but it could very well be the truth. Jusstt smth to think ab. I don't remember the original point of this post so I'm going to bed now.
