I'm too cool to be extinct.

I want to see the AU where Midoriya wants to grow up to be the best hero like All Might, but he ends up with his mom’s mediocre telekinesis quirk, so his dreams just kinda peter out.

He'd probably end up putting his analytical nature to work on finding ways to munchkin it as much as possible.

Considering some of the heroes we've seen, I'd think "low level general telekinesis", even if it can't be trained to something more Tatsumaki level, would be more than enough to go pro.

Mirio even had a speech about how his quirk was poo poo garbage by default, and that was the top hero candidate at UA.

I kinda want an OP/ED announcement so I can just kinda be disappointed already and move on since I was a bit underwhelmed by Uverworld (the goddamn random saxophone bit didn't even make it into the proper OP) and while the OPs have all been decent (with Peace Sign being my favorite) I actually kinda want something more energetic.

I actually kinda would like to see Bump of Chicken get the OP but I doubt it'll be someone particularly well known.

With the type of mind he has I am sure Midoriya would figure out someway to make his quirk busted as gently caress. Hell, sometimes I wonder just what would he do if he had All for One and just how much bullshit he could come up with.

The short ranged telekinesis could probably be used to do things like mess with the inner ear of someone he's fighting. I'm sure someone creative could find ways to use it to great effect even before training powerups.

That'd be hosed up and really overpowered if you could reach inside someone- even if you couldn't really do something nasty like squeeze someone's heart or whatever. Basically just whack someone's liver and watch them flop right over. There literally is no way to "willpower" your way through a solid liver shot- you just go down.

AU where his mom's minor attracting small objects and his dad's fire breath combine into a new quirk that gives him the ability to set his clothes on fire by attracting it from nearby sources of open flame.

Or have it be a combination of telekinesis and fire breathing. I'm sure someone smarter than me can think up a broken combination using those 2 quirks.

It's good that Horikoshi thinks that way but it doesn't matter what he thinks--the AssClass situation that everyone's afraid of seeing repeated was obviously an editor slamming down on the plot.

It's fine to temper your expectations and all. But we've had like three or four pages, maybe even more, of people just losing their poo poo about how it's going to be awful because [other manga series] did it bad and under no circumstances can Endeavor ever have character growth because he did A Very Bad Thing.

Well, your first challenge is the fact that you're kind of losing a lot of the conflict between OfA and AfO, so you have to jigger things around to keep that basic plot running. I'd say you can probably get away with All Might just being the last person who can use it--if he passes it on, the next person basically just explodes immediately.

As for Deku himself, maybe play up a bit of an inferiority complex for him. He has a quirk, but not a very good one, Bakugou still looks down on him (probably still a different dynamic, though), and the training with All Might is also about getting his underused quirk into shape.

At the entrance exam he probably ends up giving his all to pull the giant robot back away from Ochako, it almost falls on him but she stops that, and...

Wait, this is the kind of help you were asking for, right?

SpacePig

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
I mean, if we're gonna get into it like that, then there's a chance Deku and Ochako would be in different, better positions at the entrance test such that they won't have to face the giant robot. Also, Deku, and sort of by extension Bakugo, won't get the personal attention from All Might that they're getting now. So the dynamics of basically everything will change from the very beginning.

The solution is simple, though: Make a second manga featuring a OfA Mirio and his adventures with All Might and Nighteye.

Patware

unfortunate side effect: if deku wasn't quirkless he wouldn't have gained his actual superpower of being hyper analytical, since all that derived from exhaustively studying every hero he could due to the desperation of trying to be a hero without a quirk

Terper

You could still have it, with Deku feeling that his quirk is too weak to be a hero's.

All Might said that if he hadn't met Deku he was planning to give One for All to Mirio, so you could go with that or still find a way for has-a-quirk-but-somewhat-underpowered Midoriya to impress him. Either would be good possibilities to explore, especially since a Deku who wasn't Quirkless would've grown up learning to use his quirk like other kids do and might have a better background for taking OfA.

My idea for a spin-off would be a story focusing around the "worst" hero school since all we've seen are the best

Faculty are d-listers, reformed Villains, disgraced former pros who may have been decently good

Students are basically kids with trash quirks, or attitude/behavior issues that got them kicked out of better schools, the odd ringer who doesn't really give a poo poo where they go since their goal is just a license, maybe a kid with a really really super top tier quirk whom no one will take for some possibly tragic reason, children of Villains, etc
