he says that every season

Better get on that, Jon. That's a sweet deal.

WIP under cut

You know when you spend a whole 5 seasons learning about the evil doings of an institute, it for sure gave me whiplash to then go to a series where the main character WANTS to go to the institute

The eastest example is the way Jon behaves towards both Peter Lukas in the Lonely and Helen in her domain when he realises that they can't do anything to him. He gets fairly predator-like, way more threatening, he genuinely reads as malicious at times, both the way he tells Peter that he can see where he is ["I wouldn't try to leave if I were you. I can see you now, I can find you wherever you go"] and how he tells Helen that he's going to kill her, and his words afterwards ["I'm not scared of you" "Helen, was that... a lie?"]. He gets so Hunt coded that it's honestly quite scary, and I doubt anyone would enjoy being on the receiving end of his words in that moment.

Other examples are in general how characters take advantage of other Fear domains to boost the effect of their own. For example Nikola telling Jon not to turn on the light, with the scary effect being both "trapped in a room with murder mannequin that is probably grotesque and horrifying" and "in a room with murder mannequin I can't see since it's dark". When you can't see what you're facing but you know whatever is in front of you is scary, your brain will create any sort of horrible mental images for it that are probably way scarier than it actually is, plus the fact that you can't see where it is and so it might jump at your throat at any moment doesn't help, so it just combines the Stranger and the Dark fairly well (and a bit of the Spiral). Or, another example: nobody can tell me the Unknowing is not also Spiral coded. You quite literally can't understand anything, can't know anything, everything is wrong. That's not only the Stranger, that's the Spiral too, but the main one, the focus remains the Stranger, that uses the twisted perception of reality to be even more uncanny.
