Deku had to learn how to inherit All Night’s legacy while making it his own and not just being a copy. Shigaraki is basically doing the same thing just on a bigger scale. You are correct that he doesn’t quite fully know what he wants be and that’s intentional

There was/is a persistent rumor that Deku was supposed to be quirkless for the whole series and relying on martial arts, gadget and his encyclopedic knowledge of everyone's quirks, but it was vetoed by an editor because "you can't have a battle shonen where the main hero has no special power" or something like that. Regardless of how truthful it is, I agree that it would be a lot stronger series if Deku remained quirkless.

I honestly thought it was pretty refreshing when All Might leveled with him about how honestly at a certain point you kinda do need to have some kind of superpower to keep up. I know Batman doesn't but come on.

There are exactly three good action scenes in Season 1. "Deku and the big entrance exam robot", "Deku vs Bakugo", and "All Might vs the Nomu."

Edit: Spoilered for surf rock.

Supervillain Iida is technically part of the second one, so you are correct.

Deku's crying does settle down eventually but IIRC you still have a few firehose tears to go.

We regret to inform you that the FROG is COP.

What is interesting to see in the discussion around this is that nobody seems to have had the "Superman objection" to All Might, of "well of course he would be evil or something." Indeed I wonder if All For One would have pushed that out through Japanese Fox News to gently caress with the guy back when they were both, you know, not human wreckage.

I wonder why this is. Some of it is probably just the genre but I suppose it also helps that All Might never got portrayed as having godlike power, he was just insanely strong and tough, like Hercules or something. He could not destroy the planet or push it into another orbit or something.

All Might kind of has a different Superman problem going on in that society took his existence and the security he provided for granted and was totally unprepared when that went away

Bakugo doesn't really start to improve as a character until season 3, but I do like how both he and Deku innately understand that holding back and not fighting using your full strength is super disrespectful to the people you're competing with.

Well there's the thing where Shoto claims that his mom was basically purchased and forced into an arranged marriage and that never really comes up again or gets corroborated by anyone else.

Shoto also thinks he's cursed to damage the hands of people he gets involved with.

I just figured out how they're going to defeat Shigaraki

Reminds me of that moment in their fight where Deku realizes that he channels Bakugo at times in battle

It probably helped when they realized that as long as you’re not Deku he isn’t actually going to kill or destroy you

I remember the good old days when One Piece was just a manga about pirates with little to no fan service. Then Oda met his wife and he’s been horny ever since.

You can't tell me all might didn't gently caress up enormously making midoriya his successor rather than lemillion lol

Is that a bigger thing in the manga or no

Honestly I think it's really unfair for the narrative to compare them like that. Mirio's had two more years of training and experience under his belt to work with. Look at year 1 Mirio and tell me that

Also it's easy to say that they made the wrong call in the alleyway but given Overhaul's quirk it could easily have gone horribly wrong and it's only in retrospect with knowledge they didn't have at the time that we know otherwise.

What's really more telling about both them is how they respond to it emotionally. Even if they didn't make a mistake from that perspective they both treat it as a moral failing. That's what makes them heroes.

Why would you assign Gentle to a clandestine black ops squad if he's just gonna livestream the whole thing?
