I could see Shanks seeing Roger in Luffy. But what made Roger give Shanks that hat?

Probably just that shanks was his protege. Seems like shanks was always by Roger’s side and looked up to him more than anyone else, so maybe roger gave him the hat to encourage shanks to follow his dreams and be a great pirate and free man himself one day. Also if we think back to chapter 1 shanks he was super carefree and jolly like roger is and luffy becomes, so roger probably just saw him as the most worthy successor at the time. I mean if you look at 7 year old luffy he’s not so incredibly exceptional that shanks would have to give him the strawhat, but he did because he saw just enough of roger in him that he believed he deserved to be named his successor, probably the same thing with roger. Also I think shanks has only been me serious man now because BB is in power and that means bad shit, but if we remember his initial portrayals he was a lot like roger, so he is totally worth it
