last thing, not to be a dick but i feel like most of ur comments about this aren’t even what u actually think. u probably read another comment and just ran with what they were saying just to hop on the train. y'all just wanna hate, just to hate or ur trying to moral high ground brushstrokes/pixels on a screen. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Legit. Sir Mugo is just speaking in a manner that a God would since Sir Mugo is the part of his identity that encapsulates their "Guardian God" identity. He's the one who wants to act like a "real" God.
It's not much different than a priest in a church saying "my child" to a patron. A priest is a "Father" in the church as well. They aren't LITERALLY Father and child.
Also very important notes:
1. Sir Mugo wasn't ACTUALLY the one who met MC as a child. That was the Mystery Mugo who told him what to do to save himself. We find this out at S1 finale
2. Sir Mugo was the one who was insistent on letting MC leave and live his life freely outside of their home. He was the one who pushed him away thinking he was doing the right thing as a caring God figure.
Lord Mugo just acts proper. that’s why he talks the way he does, and acted the way he did. that’s probably also why the other Mugo calls his “old man”. even though technically ALL OF THEM are old asf? they’re like hundreds of years old but you guys don’t call the other Mugos fucking Pedos/Groomers. yall wouldn’t say the same if it was Edward Cullin from Twilight or other immortal characters from media. God forbid Lord Mugo tried to keep boundaries with the Sacrifice. another thing the MC is like a 20sum year old. he is a grown adult.
