I’d argue Connor shows and Logan tells. Logan says everything he does is for his family. Connor actually is there for his family. He lends emotional support. He steps up when asked.

But he is a dumbfuck. And thus, yes, his more intellectual sibs look down upon him. But he’s the one who’s there.

Logan is undoubtedly the chosen father figure, but he’s emotionally absent, as well as often physically absent. He’s a myth as both a man and a father.

I could change the verbiage and say Connor has been “more of a dad” than Logan, as opposed to all an consuming patriarchal force (which Logan is).
