this allusion meant posted:

in the witch from mercury, gundam is a mobile suit built on a specific taboo technology that seems to be some kind of special interface that puts the controls closer to your brain, developed for prosthetics. this is given in the prologue episode, which is on youtube or any other place you can watch the show. these sorts of distinguishing technologies are a typical feature in gundam shows; if it’s not a dangerous taboo brain link developed by fatal/disabling surgeries or experiments on children it’s weird materials called like gundanium or something. the general thrust is: gundams are special mobile suits with taboo technology that is weird enough to deter the established powers from relying on them or mass producing them, but people made desperate by some political economic aspects of solar system development have to turn to gundam for lack of military capacity otherwise. the upshot is some kid is able to fight massive amounts of enemies in space with colorful lasers and big explosions
it’s a gundam because i say it is, op

Nighteye begging his own quirk to tell himself a different future will happen as he's skewered is an exceptionally good scene. Deku overcoming that was a let down

Most of the villains were p great except all for one just kinda wanting to be a crime dude

I mean, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to? The narrative is constantly hammering on the fact that the system of superheroes is really easily corrupted and does nothing to address the smaller, more pervasive issues of their society that arguably ruin way more lives than any one dude who can turn people into skeletons or whatever. Maybe the manga will end with Deku becoming the next Hero Icon like All Might and that it'll somehow fix everything but that seems doubtful

I haven't kept up with the series but I remember it's established that quirks are getting more and powerful, children are getting super powers that are more destructive than their parents can handle. So maybe it's heading to some kind of apocalypse where society collapses in the face of every person on earth being an unstoppable superhero/villain.

There's kind of a mix. There are villains who want to hurt people and be stereotypically evil (like the main villain) but there are also a lot of the villainous characters that fell through the cracks and/or got abandoned by the systems that were meant to protect them at key points in their lives. So the series is sort of trying to thread the needle of saying "no, it's not cool that they're killing people and they need to be stopped" but also that there's something fundamentally broken about the society that allowed this, and the protagonist has very specifically made the choice internally that "saving people" includes saving them too.

Although one of them is definitely a mass-murderder so that's gonna be a rough one too.
