Endeavor is a super rear end in a top hat but he's definitely not supposed to be villainous. His reaction to seeing All Might at less than 100% was "Come on, I know you're better than that. Stop moping and save some people."

Also momentary realization that he might be a really bad person because of his obsession.

I think it is time for the students to actually start learning again. Granted, the spy (if one even exists) was never discovered, but Shigaraki needs to do some ground work before taking on the world.

yeah lol maybe the dude who abuses his wife and children is actually good and not about to usher in a new age of villainy either by accident, neglect or on purpose as the new defacto #1 superhero

Even if Endeavor is the new de facto #1 hero he still isn't gonna take All Might's place. All Might created that position and his absence isn't enough for the lifelong bridesmaid to fill it.

The conflict between Todoroki and Endeavor actually reminds me a great deal of the one between Elan and Tarquin in Order of the Stick? You've got an Evil Father who wants his son to do Hero Things, and in the process, build the father's legacy, and a son who wants to do Hero Things for his own reasons, but isn't sure how to accomplish this without validating Evil Father's Ambitions.

Not gonna lie, I thought of the same two characters when Shouto went back to work with Endeavor, because that's how I hope it ends. Elan does a terrific job of crushing all sense of satisfaction Tarquinn could have gotten out of his heroism and demolishes his dad's ego. I really want Endeavor to have a similar breakdown when Shouto openly redefines their relationship on his own terms and Endeavor can't do poo poo about it.

All Todoroki has to do is excel as a hero and repeatedly say that All Might is his inspiration. Even if Endeavor "wins" by producing a hero that could surpass All Might, he will never be recognized for it. Also, surpassing All Might would have been a lot easier than surpassing All Might's legend will be.

Japan has the death penalty. I'd be interested to see if that gets applied to especially major supervillains.

Well, in the case in Japan, they only apply it to people who have committed more than one murder or equally atrocious crimes, and even then, often they just end up imprisoned for life instead, because they can appeal for retrial.

For a comic book character like AfO, where they are trying pretty clearly to make him into some sort of Magneto, I really don't see them apply the death penalty.

Lol wat. Based on what we've seen so far this couldn't be more wrong. Endeavor doesn't want All Might to save people. He wants to surpass All Might by himself, and he spent all that time looking at that batshit power guy just constantly being better at everything. And all of a sudden he's a shrimp who couldn't stop a grandma from shoplifting? For Endeavor this is utterly unacceptable.

Personally, I didn't read it as this. Like, I'm with you that Endeavour isn't necessarily "villainous" but he is VERY proud. Seeing All Might, the only guy better than him, turn out to be a weak and pathetic-looking shell of a man probably infuriates him. Especially considering that All Might will still probably retain his position as #1, even when Endeavour inevitably vies for the position in the near future. He is Bakugou taken to his logical conclusion, a guy trying to become #1 hero who never will be because he focuses entirely on trying to be the most powerful hero, while his competition focuses on actually helping people and humanity as a whole, which will always make them more popular.



There is also the fact that the other guy has a quirk that just flat out makes him more powerful.

I know Endeavor is #2, but it felt like the Stain arc was deliberately undercutting his abilities. We see him be capable logistically, but on scene:

Gran Torino repeatedly one-upped and corrected him,
He seemed to have a poor grasp of the situation,
He seemed willing to fry Deku along with Stain,
Stain called him a phony on sight presumably without knowledge of his family situation.

To be fair, Stain considers all heroes other than All Might (and probably most villains as well) to be phonies.

the status quo also consists of mutants. when everyone has super powers then they arent stigmatized. the "excommunicated mutants" are excommunicated because they like killing and stealing.

X-men couches most of its themes in the civil rights movements of the 60s and 70s right? Japan is such a homogeneous culture, compared to the US, that 'a bunch of people have superpowers and that impacts civilization' is dealt with very differently. BnHA was basically like "Welp yea it was a mess for awhile but life is back in order!"

I guess the problem I find with western comics is "different writer means different narrative and themes, but same characters" ..which is like "Why not make something new?" to which the answer is "because the brand is more valuable than something new."

Have you ever heard of the book, "The Hero with a Thousand Faces?" What you said reminds me of that.

When Eraserhead cancelled all those villains quirks at the training ground, the big freaky guys remained big and freaky, so I guess physical quirks can't just be turned off or removed.
