Just once I would like the mentor’s beautiful daughter to actually, sincerely hate the hero’s guts.

Like, not like ‘belligerent sexual tension’ hate his guts. Not ‘learn a valuable lesson about resentment and gets over it’ hate his guts. No, just straight up, 100%, wouldn’t-piss-on-you-if-you-were-on-fire, the-sound-of-your-name-makes-me-puke-a-little-in-my-mouth hate his guts.

And my entire kingdom for a story where she ‘helps’ him train and then goes and hands a detailed list of all of his weaknesses and strategies to his rival like ‘kick his fucking ass’.

Alternatively, how about the ‘hero’ is actually the villain, because it turns out that the mentor not trusting his own daughter’s capabilities enough to let her be the chosen one and instead granting phenomenal cosmic powers to the first rando farmboy who comes along actually wasn’t the smartest idea he’s ever had.

Yes this a good addition

Both? Both is good.

She trains the rando dude on her father’s wishes, hating him the entire time. Turns out she was right to hate him cause he turns out to be the Villian. Father has to eat his own sexism as the daughter takes the hero mantle for herself. Fights and wins against the villain because she’s the one who trained him, she knows all his moves and his weaknesses.
