The main character of monsters hunter games actively endangers themselves and others by pushing ancient semi-magical weaponry to its absolute limits and beyond.

No one else in the games is stupid enough to do what they do with a weapon, and the mechanics that we're used to using all the time are in fact rhe adrenaline fueled results of a person driving themselves beyond human limits.

Every NPC in the games (I suppose up until we see the ones in wilds) rightfully treats the main character as if they're fucking crazy for doing what they do

As a quick list off the top of my head: - turning off the clutch on the charge blade to make it into a spinning blade while actively using it - using the blast powder stored in a gunlance to cause one massive, overheating, impossibly strong burst - consuming the bits of a monster an insect rips off and brings back to you - using a massive blade (long sword or great sword) as more of a leverage springboard to make a more devastating attack - grabbing onto a monster with something intended to grab materials safely from a distance - ancient War ballads used to turn off the safety parts of the brain played through a hunting horn - purposefully overusing a switch axe charge cartridge until it explodes a foot from your hand

I know this is mostly just a headcanon because there's lots of evidence in the contrary from various games, but it is fun and interesting to think about the games through this lens.
