It is far worse then grooming: it is more like he never saw him as a speciman with intelligence and free will, forget beins an equal.
Lab rats nowadays are treated with more respect than he gave Nux
So you're dumb enough to think that didn't change, got it. As if he'd be the first detached superior species trope. Get a life of you're here to cry about their relationship
Right??? They're pretending that Owen wanted to breed WITH a two year old or some shit and watched him all the time. Grooming just isn't the right word but they are throwing it around like crazy
Anyone crying about grooming is irreparably dumb. It doesn't even seem like he watched him grow up just took note of him because of his genes and kept checking back on him to find him dead already. This one simply lived long enough to be adult and met with him. How is their interaction grooming? We're also talking about different species life span and time travel for fucks sake lol
