Zaphod42 posted:And even moreso, Tenya's reason for attacking Stain was his love for his brother and his being so upset that a good hero could no longer help people because of Stain. That in itself is actually a noble hero quality, even though stain sees it as petty "revenge", stain himself is a villain no matter how you slice it and stopping him is heroic in itself. No, Tenya is not doing the right thing there. He's putting his pride over his job. With his speed he could have easily saved Native and called for back-up, but instead nearly gets both himself and Native killed because he has to be the one to defeat Stain. He doesn't feel like he should save anyone, or rather, he puts saving someone on a lower priority to being the good younger brother that restores the family honour his brother lost. You can try to excuse this as "but he's trying to become a hero, and heroes have to stop villains, so he's doing his job right", but it doesn't work like that, not if you're endangering people in the process. Tenya's pride touches on a tangent with the job of a hero but it does not coincide with it.

Iida and Todoroki are really similar tbh. Both have had their family relations define themselves and then come to realize that they aren't being true to what they believe and want to be. Like Todoroki realizes that he has let his hate for his father consume and that Quirk is HIS power and he must use it fully to progress as a hero, Iida must realize that he's let his obsession with becoming like his brother consume him, not having any actual idea of what he wants to do or be other than Just Like My Brother. Iida sees how his family and the world love Tensei because of his noble spirit and Tenya wants to be the same kind of great hero. This isn't necessarily bad, it's just extremely hollow and has shades of Endeavor devoting his adult career to reaching #1 without an actual idea of what makes the #1 guy the #1 guy when Iida is capable of so much more. In his encounter with Stain, Tenya's a young kid playing at hero and Todoroki is the perfect person to remind him to never forget what he wants to become. Fight on Iida!

I dont really think Iida's problem is how he wants to be like his brother. That's like saying Deku wanting to be a hero like All Might is a major flaw. When Todoroki saves him he does that whole "set your eyes on the hero you want to be" thing and Iida remembers his "Ingenium, that's the name of the hero who will defeat you" spiel and that's treated as the moment where Iida starts resolving his issues. Because he wasn't acting like his brother he was lying to his friends, ignoring people in trouble and fighting for a selfish reason. That's not like Ingenium, that's not even like a hero. Thankfully he recognises this and when he gets back in the fight he's not just fighting for revenge he's fighting for his friends too. He takes a knife to the arm for Todoroki and everything. He's acting like a hero again, like the brother he admires and that's a positive thing.

Hi I just realized that Endeavor's name is because it's got an "en" in it (Japanese for "flame").SyntheticPolygon posted:I dont really think Iida's problem is how he wants to be like his brother. That's like saying Deku wanting to be a hero like All Might is a major flaw. Okay but part of this arc has been Deku, too, realizing that he needs to stop thinking only in terms of All Might or he's limiting his abilities and failing to grow past his power's weakness.

SyntheticPolygon posted:That's like saying Deku wanting to be a hero like All Might is a major flaw. It's a pretty big flaw even if it's noble. It has limited his growth up to this point and will likely limit it in the future until he fully unshackles himself from All Might and is his own hero and not a kid trying to be the PILLAR OF JUSTICE.

Yeah, they beat the drum about how Deku's fanboy reverence for All Might is actively holding him back in a lot of ways and how he needs to shed it to some degree if he's going to actually make OfA his own quirk and be a real hero of his own.

The scene where Deku tells Endeavor that just as Deku isn't All Might, Todoroki isn't Endeavor, but also pretend he said that Iida isn't Ingenium

Like, sure, Aoyama can't stop twinkling, but let's be honest here. He doesn't want to, and no one else should want him to either.

That line from a few episodes back about what Todoroki says to Ida about not losing sight of the hero he wants to be came up in the dub today and they translated/rewrote it pretty nicely "You want to make your brother proud? Then stand up and be Ingenium. Become the hero he wanted you to be!"
