James Madrox becomes an active post-apocalyptic hazard. He split too much, and now they've all gone feral.

That's not even the worst part. The worst part is that Madroxes hooked up with Venoms.

Nah they just dropped MHA. They still do side materials when they come out tho.

Redestro looking like Venom-Joker from the Batman: Arkham ___ video games
Ah, thank you for spelling out exactly why I didn't like this.

Chapter: I understand that he probably has this quirk in service of him being able to go toe-to-toe with Gigantomachia for a bit but it is still deeply underwhelming as a quirk. GET SWOLE is overdone in this series but more than that I just hate it when super intelligent puppet master characters get to be that and also super swole bruiser types. Once they discard their scheming and just start throwing punches they are so much less interesting as characters. It happened in One Piece with Doflamingo and it happened with Overhaul in My Hero... Ah.

It's a minor complaint though as MHA has generally had good characters and bad villains with the exception of the League so it's not exactly surprising. I still enjoyed everything else that happened in the chapter.

Overhaul was never interesting.

Yeah, Re-Destro's quirk being "actually I am bighuge mcpunchman!" is kinda boring and the only real misstep. Everything else is pretty cool still, but this is just disappointing. Unless it goes significantly worse from here, it'll just mean someone who could've been a memorable interesting foil for Shigaraki and co ends up just being mostly forgotten.

Maybe Re-Destro will surprise and he will be a smart buffman or something. I mean look at how delicately he is trying to pull Shiggy's hand off at the end of the chapter.

Re-Destro's quirk is interesting because it's not just bighuge punchman. It's built into his characterisation impressively, he's constantly sedate and calm and calculating because all that stress is being stored for when he needs to actually throw down. It's literally the scene from Avengers but for a villain.

Also it's pretty consistent that the major villain leaders that the League meet are Shigaraki but less interesting, mostly because the whole point of these parts is to build up the League of Villains as worthy of being the most important villains.

Also if he powers up from stress when gigantomachia shows up finally we may actually have someone who can credibly get in a power struggle with him.

Gigantomachia shows up, Destro gets so stressed out he becomes Wyzen and dies since he can't breathe in space. Which leaves the LoV and the scraps of the Liberation army to fight him.

Gigantomachia then shows up, goes toe to toe with ReMr. Burns, respects him, and the whole plan backfires.

I bet Shigaraki is going to save Machia from a Re-Destro beatdown and that's how they create their power of friendship. Through murder.

Nah, the maximum Irony is Re-Destro will successfully beat Gigantomachia and thus gain his loyalty, but the League will finally be able to beat Gigantomachia in return.

But I prefer your idea tbh.

But imagine and edge case where thrown hand is dissolving its way into the core of the planet until the heat finally liquefies it and the quirk stops.

You think the doctor has a Nomu with a healing quirk or something? Between Shigiraki's hand, Twice's arms, and Toga's everything, these guys are probably going to be out of commission for a while otherwise.

Irony being the Quirk requires the user to touch the person being healed

So Shiggy can either heal your or turn you to dust by touching you

Why not both for maximum torture? Too bad he doesn't have Overhaul's quirk.

It's broken as gently caress, but considering that his mentor was AFO it fits.

To elaborate on what the previous poster said, Magne would be "her", not "his". She's explicitly trans, and Twice even gets furious at Overhaul for misgendering her later in that arc.

if him fighting deku is actually the finale and not deku fighting AFO then there isn't really any way around him being able to use multiple quirks to have a remote chance of winning the fight
