Luke senses darkness in his sister's son, and for a moment thinks that the right thing to do is to kill him?
We already went through this character arc with Luke, and it's not in his character to do something like that, and it confirmed Ben Solo's transition to the dark side.
Just seems weird to me but I guess that's just what this movie is.

He saw the light in his father. A naive boy with minimal training wanted to save his Dad.
Now he is in the Kenobi situation of having trained a Monster and upon seeing inside him there was no light gives into his fear of the power of the dark side. Luke is far more interesting as a flawed Jedi like everyone who came before him than this fanboy perfection persona.
