It always feels weird when people say that Dabi's the worst LoV member (not as a character, just tactically) because, before Shigaraki learned to make his Quirk chain lightning, he was the big ranged hitter who was fully capable of cremating people on the spot

which he seldom demonstrated for anything besides torching two-bit crooks for giggles

the momo comparison is apt because while dabi gets talked up a lot he doesn't really do anything on-panel, and unlike momo he's often an active hindrance to his team instead of just being superfluous

that should change soon, though!

His dialogue/inner thoughts this very chapter show he doesn't blame Twice at all.

He straight up says "This is the fault of another scummy Hero".

Shocked I tell you
Let us not forget before Shigaraki took over, Geten one of their leaders loudly and openly stated that their goal was to make it a world where only the strength of your quirk mattered, and that weaklings deserve nothing but contempt as they dropped a glacier on the city without any concern for their foot soldiers. And when Twice came out started ice blasting the Twice army and any foot soldiers caught in the blast without remorse.

Honestly... Yeah, actually. Who among the heroes has actually suffered anything at all? Ochako just wants to help pay the family bills, Momo's rich, Tsuyu's had an alright time of it. At this point, Todoroki excluded as the only 'well duh' example, the runners up are Deku and Iida because the former had a Billy who makes explosions at will, which is even worse than Hotstreak, and Iida with his brother in the hospital.

I didn't include Eri or Kouta because while they're obviously not villains, I don't know if they should count as heroes because of that.

So we should root for the people who think the ills of society is that those with power can't poo poo on those beneath them even more?

I wanna give Toga, and Jin, and Shigaraki hugs. They've been through some rough poo poo.

But they've done bad things. Toga's straight-up coo-coo for cocoa puffs. Shigaraki has a massive destruction boner. They deserved better in the first place, but they've made their choices and did bad things, and now they need to suffer the consequences of their actions.

I'm not sure how people bringing up the topic of how many of the bad guys on this show are pitiable means they're standing up for their identities. I don't think anybody who brings up their regrettable origins has to prove to others of their dislike for the villains' actions

also something worth keeping in mind is that the large bulk of the people who got recruited into the liberation army found that ideology through destro's book, which we don't really know all that much about and the organization is now two steps removed from whatever destro thought and believed. and who the gently caress knows how much anyone below re-destro's inner circle knows about shigaraki

The League of Villains had a chapter that opened with them killing a KKK-analogue, while Spinner, a target of that kind of bigotry, reflected on it and how the LoV were the first people who gave him a place to belong.

I wouldn't call Bakugo worse than Hotstreak. In the comics, Virgil is petrified upon seeing him, even as Static, to the point that he curls into the fetal position in their first fight.

In the more child friendly cartoon, Hotstreak tries to burn Virgil to death. And this was after an episode where he tried to kill him in a gang war.

you've got a whole spectrum of villainy from harmless flashers, to cackling mad bombers, to cackling mad bombers who are not using their own bodies as the bomb

Speaking of Gentle, I wonder when the master thief he mentioned will be relevant. We’ve obviously had villains connected to All for One and Destro so far.
