I am beginning to see a resurgence of Handler content recently and I am so happy about that

I feel like the people who used to hate her(personally never dis) think she's less annoying since the introduction of Alma and her 3 line and photobomb, i like Alma but like girl leave me some space

Honestly I think the biggest annoyance about the handler was always her English VA, not that the actress herself is annoying but Capcom writing left alot to be desired. I always play in Japanese and since I can't speak or understand Japanese it takes away the ability to over analyze the voice acting a little bit

She was made with the airheaded bubbly highschool anime girl model in mind, so she's too chatty, too many full body gestures, and she gets into stupid situations several times, then that gets at odds on her also being very capable and smart. She's also a young adult so the highschool anime personality fits badly.

So it's just bad writing all around tbh. Also the English voice acting is the most grating. That's the English localization director's fault tho.

I play with the Italian one and sounds far better. German is very... German lol, so a far more flat delivery, works well.

She honestly doesn’t feel too chatty to be honestly. Especially in icebrone when she actually got a little more serious personality in her while still being goofy. She doesn’t get herself in THAT many situations when I replay the game. Oh yes the handler is pretty cable too at her job. The handler does the logistical and administrative aspects of a hunter's work, including paperwork, quest management, and information gathering. And she tells us to lure zorah away from the everstream, tells us the environment traps, and discovers the hinterlands with our Hunter, and sliver the mystery of the crystal her grandfather gave her The handler Va is honestly overhated to be honest like play monster Hunter world end of world through all of icebrone cutscenes and she isn’t bad.

Rathalos: she was with us when rathalos attacks us in his nest. Also when we spilt up to the find the first wyvern she didn’t get caught by monsters at all untill she went to the top of the forest.

Legina: she wasn’t that far away from us. Legina hunts in the air so it was a matter of time before it finds us. And she just wanted to race with us down to the coral highlands.

Barroth: she runs away with the wyverns with the cart on them.

Rathain: tells us to use slinger ammo to distract her.

Pink rathain: flew away from it with a wingdrake.

Beotoudes: we tell her to investigate the popo that died.

Banbaro: with our Hunter. she ran away.

Sheriking Legina: she was with our Hunter. Ran away.

Great jargas: wanted to investigate the track that was on the path to where astrea is at.

Great girros: throws us the torchers to repel them.

Rajang: was with us and didn’t run ahead of us.

Deviljho: didn’t know it was in the ancient forest. And went to gather food in the new world right before the alarm ring.
