Dabi hating shouto in the first place was an inconsistent plothole. He could have easily killed his little brother during the forest training arc and devastated the todoroki family. I always had the impression that Dabi wanted to kill Endeavor to "save" Shouto from the abusive parenting methods to become #1.

@@ShaqElliot he hated him because he was jealous and got attention from Endeavor. Dabi didn't care that Shouto was being abused. He dehumanized his little brother.

[@Blacklightning95]

1. When endeavor taught Toya could never realize his dream, he gave up on him 2. Endeavor instilled this goal into a kid who wanted nothing but his father’s attention and to make him proud 3. Endeavor started ignoring the rest of the children after shoto was born. He even separated them. 4. Once dabi saw his father put all his attention on shoto, plus separating them, then not showing up to their training grounds to watch him, it’s pretty easy too see why dabi was jealous of shoto. To him, and endeavor is 100 percent at fault for this for ignoring dabi and the others, for dabi to feel like he was replaced. That’s why he hated both of them.

You know what's funny, all the villains that had a problem with Hero society technically got what they wanted in the end: Stain: Wanted the fakes to be filtered out of hero society. The war did that, guys like that samurai hero retired and never came back, and the new hero society requires fewer heroes so if your heart's not in it, you won't make it. Also fought side by side with All Might and paved the way for an era of heroes closer to All Might's spirit. Toga: Uraraka agrees that she deserved to be properly accommodated, understood her as deeply as possible by the end and devoted her life to expanding access to Quirk counselling in the hopes that people like Toga could live better lives. Spinner: Shoji dedicated his reception of the peace prize to those who were a part of Spinner's uprising, the heteromorph protest did its job of showing their anger at society without as much violence as the other villain attacks. It didn't need a lot of explaning, it's pretty obviously bad to discriminate like that. Also, he wrote and published his book about the League Dabi: Wanted to expose the evils of hero society, to cause Endeavour to suffer for eternity and to be acknowledged by his father. Got all three in spades and the Todoroki Family situation got tons of focus. Probably the biggest reason why the hero system was reformed. Shigaraki: Wanted to destroy everything that made him an outsider, learned that All For One and One For All were the problem, inherited and destroyed both of them, and inspired Deku to shape a future where victims like him won't be overlooked.

My biggest complain with the whole story is that the villains were right the whole time, but none did nothing. By the time the hero's mistakes caught onto them, they hadn't done anything to fix it. People were still bullied for being quirkless, for having weird quirks... And when the war started, they could only make empty promises of fixing it all.

[@kevintanza6968]

Ngl i was gonna shit on this video initially because the opening is like pulling teeth. But i gave this a chance because ive been meaning to catch up and finish mha and im curious to see what people think. And im ngl i feel like youre missigg my the point of deku's optimism and how thats the solution to alot of these issues you listed out. You assume alot about deku's character, society, the villians, and even the point of deku's dream. It never mattered to deku he didnt have a quirk, he needed it to be a hero. Being a hero is more important than being a superhero. Superhero like endeavor get obessed with status and power like u say, even neglating the people who end up being villians. But for all the build up and empathy u have for these villians, how does that improve society if deku regress from his optimism and starts blaming others for his circumstances. Thats not what a hero does and again u can be upset about deku not having a quirk, but to say its all a waste of time when youre missing the message of what it really means to be a hero for deku.. like im not even at the ending it makes sense deku isnt crying over his lost quirk. Yes he spent alot of time honing his skills but that lead him to saving the world. He's grateful he was able to be a hero having a quirk isnt what defined him and it never did

[@annaavertho4944]

Maybe it is because not everything is over explained in MHA and more in the subtext. But I think it’s a bit sad that a lot of people do not get the message: Deku is the only shonen character who sacrificed his dream for everyone else including his main antagonist, without expecting or wanting anything in return. „One for all“ truly was completed even within the meaning of it’s name. Deku did the one thing Allmight couldn’t do, because he saved society from itself by understanding that even the villain in front of him was a human with an origin. Allmight had to carry society on his back for years, which unfortunately led to a complete dependence on heros, the commercialisation of heroism and blind idolisation of heros which in return led to extremists groups forming. Deku however understood that the only way to actually pass the gab in society is to try and reach out and most importantly protect the future of society by understanding and caring for its children. The other thing about Deku is, he may has cried a lot but, he never freaking whined. Even to the very end he never complained about the situation he’s was in, not even once and not even when he didn’t eat or sleep for months. I wouldn’t even care if he really was working at McDonalds because he’s simply the greatest hero, the super-power was never the reason. Even though we learned that his former classmates have worked their asses off for 8 years giving him a chance of becoming a part time hero, it’s still not a happy ending. But that is the point, because we shouldn’t do good things because we expect something in return wether it be Karma, fame, fortune or a chance of a possible better afterlife, we should really look at other people and do good, simply because it’s the right thing. It’s anything but shallow. There are so many themes of extremism and contemporary culture that are tackled in MHA that I could go on and on. It really plays with all its stereotypes. The only criticism would be that MHA is Japan focused but that issue is solved with the spin off sequel “vigilantes”. MHA is fun and has a good message, no need to hate but everyone can do as they like ❤

[@jeffali5157]

And that message gets thrown out when he gets a suit that could’ve been made years ago, him being a teacher while his friends get to achieve their dreams and they barely get to see him isn’t a good message at all. He doesn’t care about the awards sure, but being a hero to save people and that’s it would’ve worked better for his character, and it also doesn’t mean that he should be give up on his dream for years until the end. All this and how the messages was rushed and underwhelmed made this execution bad. People got the message but it’s how it was done that made the ending mixed/bad For below, with how that message was lead and rushed to him now being a hero again with a suit, that message don’t really hold anymore, we could’ve seen this be done so much better than him being a teacher and nothing else while everyone else gets to be a hero for 7 years with no introspection but execution failed.

[@CaninoBot]

Thanks for actually reading and taking the time to comprehend it. For sure it could be better but people in internet are hell mad with that extreme hate on a manga they didnt even read, the message was not broken at all. From the very beggining All Might and Aizawa told Deku that heroes risk their lifes and thats why is not that simple to be a hero without a quirk or without the capability of protecting yourself. When All Might recognizes Deku as a younger self with that true hero spirit is when he decided to not only surpass his time limit but also to help Deku fulfill his dream as Nana did for him. Later on Deku cames the n1 hero by saving society and accomplish villain goals letting go OFA bc OFA was a tool that helped him be the gratest hero but not the main reason of he being that. Deku was a true hero with or without a quirk and that was the real message. Oc you need a quirk to be a pro hero but you dont need to be a pro hero to be someone elses hero (another paralelism of how quirckless deku saved all might from becoming a bitter oficinist/teacher imo)

[@raulrojas9253]

Deku sucks. Period. He is the worst Shonen protagonist in quite awhile and we have Tanjiro too. He just sucks We will never get Shonen protagonist like Kenchiro ever again. Also read more manga, there are tons of shonen protagonists from the old days that outclass the modern ones. Giving up your dreams or powers or whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean is not a message or anything, Ichigo never had any dreams and gave up his powers too in bleach and It was terrible too. Being a cuck, lame boring, cry baby protagonist in a shonen, being weak and not using the qualities of the character that were introduced since the start are the reasons Deku fails. Most people like Characters like Todoroki or All Might who carry the manga hard and even without powers they ended going with the SUIT route in the end, something I said very early on. Deku shouldn't have inherit All might quirk, that was a huge mistake.

A common defense for MHA’s horrible ending is how “realistic” it is as if something being realistic automatically makes it good.

[@startower2079]

This is what happens when you only focus about leaks and dont even bother to reas the actual chapter quit being dumb and act like a normal person. Deku never said he rarely saw his classmate. He only stated that its hard to organize a meeting up because their schedule dont coincide. Its not because he said that its hard that he barely had to see them it can be hard and they will still be meeting up many times. Plus the reason why their schedule didnt coincide also is because most of them were working very hard in order to fund deku's suit . READ THE CHAPTER INSTEAD of yappin most of you call the ending bad either because u did not like the way it is and you wanted it to be like you would think of it . OR you basically call it bad just because you didnt understand. Try and get more comprehension off the story before calling it bad. Same thing happened with aot just because people didnt understand the ending well or didnt like the fact that eren died and that mikasa marries another man. You guys should mive and quit acting like a kid and try to understand the actual writing behind the story

That is simply to short of a timeline to cover the topics it wished to address and resolve all the plotlines in a satisfactory manner. Horikoshi should have paced the story more properly if he wanted to avoid this backlash.

[@BoscoSal-ao]

The problem to MHA story progression has something to do with bakugou being deku rival. I believe horikoshi never intend to make Bakugou the rival but to give him a redemption arc but unfortunately due to his popularity, the EDITOR instead demand bakugou to be the rival. This decision is what mess up the story

Not saying MHA is the best shonen of all time, but calling it a "shallow waste of time" is far from the truth as well. Only serves as an example to not take this video or the "opinions" in it seriously.

[@striker07927]

I’m not gonna disingenuously ignore all these points as if they’re wrong, while I do disagree with some of them, it’s entirely valid to have these overall conclusions based on your experience with MHA and I applaud the effort that went into this project just to vent about the disappointment felt with MHA for the choices it made that didn’t coincide 100% with what you thought would be the ideal outcome that would reward most of it’s characters and plot. The reason I am commenting is to ask what’s the point? If the established love-hate relationship between you and this series has already made clear from what I could gather from the previous uploads made, I do believe the driving force behind this video is valid, but if these thoughts required a long in depth analysis, you’d easily be capable of getting these out via any other method that’s far less taxing then just making a community post, whereas this method actively gives reason for those watching MHA to actively dislike it which is something that has occurred since the War Arc released, getting thoughts out is fine, but when it feeds the disinterest of those who do enjoy such things after it’s already gotten a mountain sized hate train…

People saying Deku failing to save shigaraki was pointless is the EXACT POINT! You can't always save everyone. Them failing to save their villains shows that not everyone can be saved no matter how much you do and no matter you try. And for people saying Deku gave up on being a hero: Did you all READ the manga? The ending literally represents just because you're not a pro hero doesn't mean you can't be a hero. A hero is someone who helps someone out of the kindness of their heart, people are doing other things to help others like being a engineer, doctor, hero costume designer, teacher, etc. Deku being a ua teacher makes SENSE since season 1, we already know Deku takes notes on people's quirks strengths and weaknesses and making them look good, he can literally help people with their quirks on making it good and effective. And for the suit, Deku did NOT know he was gonna get one and accepted his dream was over and was gonna use his experience and analysis on quirks as a way to help young heroes. And you're comparing Aoyama, a literal VICTIM of being forced to do it to people who actually MURDER and KILLED PEOPLE! Yeah they had a sad backstory but they still did bad things and had a choice ESPECIALLY DABI, him killing people just to spite endeavor is his own fault as he is killing innocent people. Twice may have been a victim of mental disorder but he still chose to kill. Aoyama had no choice and was screwed from the start because his parents.

[@Arrakiz666]

You’d think there’d be more in store for a person that _literally saved the planet_ than working 9 to 5. You’d also think that if people were so heroic without powers it would also be possible to reform the system in a more meaningful way than changing extremely little about the conditions that created Shigaraki in the first place. But no, the story fundamentally ends in the exact same place it began.

[@pizzaa720]

@@Arrakiz666 They did change society, not by deemphasizing the importance of heroes, but by propping up the importance of other ways to help society. In the last chapter we see different students wanting to go to different fields, like being doctors or programmers. There are even less pro heroes and villans now, and class 1-A have been using their free time to be basically social workers trying to resolve the problems with society, i.e. quirk counseling. The entire point of Deku becoming a teacher was to complete his character arc: he thought he needed to be a great hero by being exactly like All Might, but now he can be a great hero by just being their to inspire people in need, to give them the same thing he was given by All Might and his friends, and the thing Tenko was never given.

Didn’t Destro’s manifesto kickstarted the MLA? " The point of spinners book was to humanize the league and to not have them treated as just inhumane monsters , as a way to tear down the whole "Hero" and "Villain" dichotomy that caused so many issues They gave Izuku OFA, just to get rid of it. Hori gave him a 9 to 5 job Golly Gee, it's almost like Izuku fufilled OFA's decade spanning goal of destroying AFO, and once it completed that goal it's power went away to prevent another Singular pillar being born to cause all of society to go back to their over complacent ways, and that Izuku sacrificed his dream in order to save the world, almost like a REALLY REALLY GOOD PERSON WHO DOES REALLY REALLY GOOD THING (wonder if there's a word for that). And Izuku is basically living his dream job of inspiring kids and providing them with the support he got, and the support Tenko never received.

Also how is society worse if theres less villians and less of a demand for heros thats a legit upside? Okay less people can become heros theres more to life than that especially for people with quirks. And the more bullying statement is disingenuous as hell. Making sure kids dont let this new found privilege go to their end is more bullying? Yall spent 50 mins complaining that the villians dont get the compassion they deserve, but criticize this? U realize keeping those same kids humble not only improved the system but also helps prevent more people like the league of villians from being created? You can feel how u feel but boiling all this and calling it naive misses the whole point of the superhero genre. These are ideals we should thrive for its not about becoming a superhero its about being a hero. And the villians do effect change or else deku wouldn't remember any of them

[@vee_fee]

I’m trying to understand wth is up with these unhinged comments when the video focuses *primarily* on criticism on storytelling issues in MHA. For people to get mad at moments the video brings up the systematic issues MHA ITSELF presents is insane to me. If Horikoshi is capable of comprehending sociopolitical and systematic issues + made the CONSCIOUS decision to, for a great part of the manga, introduce it and make it central/fundamental for characters such as LoV and the hero society/society in general, then he is not above criticism when he handles those issues poorly. Hori also glorifies the United States enough, and is clearly inspired by Western comics, that it warrants analyzing from that perspective (so people resorting to discarding the criticism simply because Horikoshi is Japanese is redundant). Anyway, this has been a very well done video. I don’t agree 100% with certain parts, such as Shigaraki and Dabi having to die, but from the analytical standpoint you’ve all presented, I can see why people may arrive at that conclusion. This has been a very insightful video, I appreciate the multiple perspectives and breakdowns. Thank you for the hard work in putting this together!

I was actually hooked by it not the show but the characters and the conceptual fanfics that spawned. Was the story heavily flawed? Yes. Was the ending shit? Absolutely Did the essence and charm of the first chapters disappeared as it gone on? A Huge Yes. However i see the series as somewhat a well of inspiration and a lesson to how not to write a story. The some of the fanfics that spawned were actually good and fixed the major problems of a character or theme of the original. Now I’m not saying My Hero doesn’t deserve the hate. It absolutely does but I kinda think we should as well recognize what lured us in the first place and enjoy its good qualities whilst as well acknowledging the major flaws.
