A Bug posted:I think Hawks' empathy for Twice and his situation is the only thing keeping him from just sucker-punching to knock him out as soon as the raid starts before he can become a problem. He hesitated long enough for Twice to start his Sad Man's Parade, so he's already becoming a problem.

Blueberry Pancakes posted:I feel like saying "You're going to jail for having a good Quirk" is a massive downplay of what the League had been doing. Remember Snatch? Bakugo being kidnapped? Collaboration with the Yakuza? Literally all of MVA? It's not an SA thread without at least one goon contorting themselves into a contrarian pretzel

Remember: if Twice clones someone with a Quirk capable of defense, they could still shield themselves and that massively increases their durability!

I kinda wanna say Twice doesn't make it out of this because this raid is almost certainly going sideways and will likely not end in the heroes' favor at one of the locations at the very least. If the heroes take the brunt of the losses here the power dynamic flips far too hard to the villains if Twice is still around since losses of the PLA mooks don't mean much with a clone machine around.

There are four de-quirk bullets right? There are also four regiments... what do you bet each regiment has one de-quirk bullet Just In Case? I definitely could see Twice get de-quirked, both at once freeing him from the psychological pain of his quirk and also severely emotionally harming him that he can't help the League anymore.

They gave the bullets to the doctor, who will either find a way to mass produce them, or(personal theory here) find a way to extract Eri's quirk and give it to Shigaraki(or keep it for All For One).

I'm still wondering how things are going to go sideways for Deku and the others in the third location evacuating the city. You gotta give them a fight too, but we already know where most of the villains are at this point. I think the only unaccounted ones right now are Spinner and Gigantomachia?

I think part of of the issue is the fact we're dealing explicitly with the issue of incarceration, which is a very very messy subject both in universe and irl, whereas most shonen punch battles end in the bad guy running away, becoming friends, or dying. EDIT: Other annoying things about incarceration; it's spelling apparently. LunarCress fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Mar 17, 2020 |

I can't wait for Shigaraki to be taken off to Arkham Asylum, which he will then take over and force Izuku to go through the island, fighting goons and collecting Compress Trophies.

I had an idea for an MHA action game where Todoroki's gimmick was that he had a "Hot/Cold Scale". It increased to one end or the other if you used a lot of ice or fire attacks in a row, and at both extremes, he starts to take damage, so you need to balance his ice attacks with his flame attacks to make sure he doesn't get hypothermia or a bad fever.

I'm rooting for the bad-guys here (mostly LoV but I'm a little in the MLA's corner too) because, in the face of the overwhelming power and coordination of the state apparatus (one we've been shown again and again isn't particularly fantastic) I'm inclined to care more about the ones being unequivocally framed as under-dogs. Anytime the heroes are in the same position, sure, go Team Hero, just to be clear. But anyway, maybe this is one of those "start with the Heroes winning so the Villains can turn it in Act II"-things, but one-sided crushings aren't really that interesting to me. Not really sure the series will ever execute on the whole "actually this society kinda' sucks"-subtext because at the end of the day it's a Shonen and it doesn't have the time to dive too deep into this sort of grey-area deconstruction when it has Villain/Hero fight-pairings to resolve for the bulk of each ark (or adorable/excellent slice-of-life scenes to work though in-between arcs). We're given a little moment of "hmm maybe X has a point / maybe X is sympathetic" every other arc or so, but I doubt it'll ever be the focus. At the end of the day, the villains are villains and the logic of the genera dictates they'll lose, either dying or being imprisoned, and the best we can expect is a "the system will be better if we change its leadership"-beat at the end, i.e.: Deku & Co. as the generation aware that things aren't as good as they could be, so they'll try to make them better. basically I'm mostly with Mystic Mongol here, Mystic Mongol posted:If the happy ending at the end of the series is all the bad guys go to jail and all the good guys have cake, I'm gonna be mad disappointed. Which is fine, I guess. It's fine, if a little disappointing.

Having an interesting story about the nature of what's good and what's evil and not just a story where the good use unrestricted violence on the evil and then win.

Good guys can't use unrestricted violence on human villains. That is one of the main points of the series. Miruko merked the Noumu cause they were corpses but she would never have done that to actual living villains.

socialsecurity posted:What is LoV's end goal that justifies murdering so many people? Yeah, all those British soldiers killed because those colonists didn't want to pay their taxes! Greedy shits, killing good men over money. The revolution was unjustified. Whether or not the death of others for political ends is justified basically depends on what you do with the power afterwards. Shigaraki's been talking out of both sides of his mouth on that issue...  Toga is bad at pattern recognition. ...so I'm not really anticipating the Paranormal Liberation Front to enact a universal basic income and nationalize the banks. But society's crushing down so hard that the liberation army managed to recruit one hundred fifteen thousand people, willing to fight and kill and die for the right to use their quirks. Punching them good is not the end of that problem.

I'd be more inclined to buy this all as a legitimate goal if there wasn't a very prominent shot of a baby in that scene of Shigaraki saying he wants to 'destroy everything'. 'Acceptable loses' and 'Murder anyone we want while obliterating society' aren't the same thing.
