Stain doesn't hate 'true heroes ' like All Might he just hates what he sees as pretenders, people who are just doing it for the fame and fortune or petty ideals of being the best. He hates villains worse than that because they're the thing all heroes fight against. Stain's not going to be buddy buddy with AFO unless AFO can turn Stain's worldview around.

The only author I know that took note of fan theories to try and surprise even the most obsessive members of the audience was Andrew Hussie of Homestuck fame and it, uh, let's say it didn't go very well.

Conspiracy theories being right is fine. The way the twists happen is a lot more important than the twists themselves.

Also foreshadowing is a cool and good thing for a writer to do properly. A good twist/reveal being figured out/spoiled doesn't ruin a story, it just lets you see how the writer is setting thing sup and leaving little clues here and there.

If knowing a twist renders a whole story boring/pointless then the story was kind of leaning on a twist instead of writing a decent narrative.

  • Eating a mouthful of bugs right in front of her opponent, to paralyze them with disgust

Personally I'd like the exam to be seemingly straightforward, but actually very difficult to coordinate in practice. Save the passengers on a sinking ship, or burning building; foiling a bank heist with hostages; save the widows and orphans picnic from Terminator inflitration... Kinda like the early exam with the fake nuke but way, way more complicated. Bakugou and Todoroki would both be at a serious disadvantage in any situation where preserving noncombatants is the priority.

It's quite boring to spend half the chapter in a will they or won't they when won't they is clearly not a valid or possible outcome. Hopefully the next test breaks convention somewhat

I disagree I thought it was quite rad because the how of them passing was both fun and cool AND it also gave us insights into the character development of more focused characters' development and the growth and personal struggles of some of the cast that have not had too much screen time for personal stories yet.

Seeing Electric boy overcome the struggle with his powers, seeing how everyone actually knows each other and trusts each other enough to work together, to the point that even prideful Bakugou was willing to let himself be captured because he trusted Electric Traitor to keep up with his plan and same him with it were all really well done. having someone lose here in the first round would actually kind of kill all the narrative momentum the plot has been building since the Exams, even ignoring my earlier point of having someone lose now is effectively writing them out of the plot at large given the circumstances surrounding class 1-A and A41's super villain crew. This is the culmination of the casts training and growing up and developed bonds so far. The entire point of the Baku rescue arc and summer training was about them seeing how bad poo poo can be and having to grow up together to be real heroes and face what's coming. The previous chapters leading into this test were all about the cast seriously meeditating on how to overcome their own personal flaws and this first part of the test is about them showing the maturity to work together. It's why there's so much Deku/Baku/Iida showcasing how much they know about their teammates. It's all been done really well and is kind of nice to see how far they've come in so little time.

Conversely, after all that build up and danger and drama for someone to go out here in the first round would have been the biggest wettest fart to end all the growing plot threads so far. It'd just be stupid and run completely counter to everything that had happened so far.

Heck, Stain could be argued to still be a hero in an ideological sense, if a zealot, and I doubt all these villains embracing evil is really what he wanted to inspire with his actions. I suppose it will have to depend on how he handles aqll these people turning to villainy because of their "hero."

Yeah honestly Stains such a weirdly core character to the villain movement that I really feel like we need to see more of him. He's probably not too happy about All for One and the villains uniting and I want to see how he reacts to the news about All might.

Luckily he's rooming in the same prison as All for One so we might get to see All might meet with him for a bit.

The restrictions on the use of quirks seems to be a double edged sword. Yes, you can't just have people X-Mening all over society willy-nilly. However, the restrictions do make it tough for kids with odder or more esoteric quirks to really develop their powers. As a result, people's powers have a greater impact on their personalities than their personalities have on how they use their quirks.

Especially since the only people that society "deals" with are those who either use their quirks for heroics or those who try and break the law with their quirks. There's probably very little support for someone who has x-ray vision but doesn't want to be a doctor or work in another field where such a quirk would be allowed. Which in turns pushes kids towards quirk appropriate fields via the uncaring force of societal bias.

Twice had a duplicating quirk, but since using it to duplicate yourself is outside the bounds of societal norms, there was no support for him to deal with the results. Hell, considering how everyone gets differing strengths and levels of versatility in their genetic quirk, it's possible that Twice is the first one in a long while or ever to be able to fully duplicate himself. Everyone else with a duplication quirk might have only been able to make a Simulacrum instead of a Duplicate, which meant that they never had an existential crisis made physical.

Toga is similar. She probably has generic mimicry powers and only discovered the power of someone's blood by accident. Maybe she was in an accident with someone, or got into a fight and as a result ingested some of their blood. Maybe she had a younger sibling who got hurt and she kissed the boo-boo to make it all better. Whatever way she found out, there's very little likelihood she wasn't either initially or permanently shunned by others when she first manifested the power. Which would drive her down a more villainous path. Especially when she found out how Stain's powers worked and what he did.

With Deku and All Might being the only people we've seen to gain power after their personality was fully formed, it's interesting to see how they shape their power as opposed to how others are shaped by their power.

This makes me wonder if we're ever going to get to see a third 'faction' of people rise up from this era of uncertainty. People dissatisfied with the world they live in limiting what they could naturally do. Similar to the villains where they're at odds with the government/society that forced them to conceal or limit their own natural talents but not as unhinged as most of the villain groups seem to be. It's a really interesting plot and a cool take on the genre being set up here where the villains/antagonists are all people either hosed up by their powers because the systems in place couldn't help or people that see the flaws inherent to the current age of heroes and government oversight and are suffocating under those restraints but it seems a little unbalanced to have all the people in the latter category to all be dangerous monster people who murder and meld people to tires. I guess the Vigilantes manga could fill this role but that's not written by the same author and isn't part of the main story which is where that kind of thing needs to be.

What I guess I'm asking is where's the not completely crazy era Magneto for this setting?

I'm not sure about that. All Might's status as The Pillar of the world is something he made himself. A goal that was unique to him and part of the reason his master supported him like she did.

She's a big ol creepy and it's played more as okay for a hero cause she's a sexy lady and people drool over her. Grapeboy gets treated as a creeper cause he's a tiny ugly teenage boy. The joke in the exam fight is she's exactly like him but he can't handle what he usually dishes out.

What I'm saying is Grapeboy is more of a hero than most of class 1-A will ever be.

Same goes for American BDSM Pony Girl.

The bullets definitely don't do DAMAGE physically- but I could imagine Mirio not wanting her to get shot with ANYTHING could play into that.

She dampens quirks (See Suneater's getting shot). The quirk destroying bullets is a finished refined version of the serum that they just completed (hence the limited vials).

Honestly I'm not exactly sure how Mirio survived 5 minutes without his quirk. Like, all Overhaul has to do is shoot a bunch of spikes all around him; you can't exactly dodge that or continue moving around once you're surrounded by a forest of spikes. Or, heck, he could just form walls around him. I get they wanted to show how badass Mirio was for lasting so long quirkless, but 5 minutes is a downright absurdly long time.

But when I talked about him dominating, I was referring to before he had his quirk removed (which only happened due to a trick).

The first thing post losing his quirk he did was break Overhauls arm with one powerful punch. Chisaki is fighting one handed and it's shown his quirk takes a hell of a lot out of him to use and he was using a lot prior to Lemillion losing his quick. Overhaul also doesn't seem to be the most in shape guy compared to the Atlas that is Mirio.
