For fans of superheros in general, there's another layer to it as well. We see the hero, badly damaged and pushing far beyond his limits; he's fighting an opponent who is seemingly unbeatable, whose strength, speed and resilience is a match for his own; as his final gambit, the hero drags both himself and his opponent as far into the sky as he can; then they both come crashing back down to earth, with an impact like a meteor strike. This whole scene is a reference to The Death Of Superman; except this time, the hero wins.

The idea that abusers are actually people capable of change and not heartless monsters who live to do nothing but ruin people's lives scares them

[@Ryan-jc3ip]

It's complicated. A lot of abusive parents never improve, never put in the effort to atone, never question their actions, and never deserve to be forgiven. So writing redemption arcs for characters who are abusive parents is delicate, because for many of the people who read and watch this, their own parents aren't going be better. MHA does it well, with Endeavour actually going through a process of reflection and atonement for the right reasons and in the right ways, which is good and important. But it's really easy for fiction to cheapen redemption arcs down to a single heroic act (Kylo Ren and Snape come to mind), or present them in ways that imply that people should automatically forgive their abusers (same two again), which makes people understandably cautious about their presentation in media.

When I saw Endeavor building a bridge with a plank and stones...I just- just shows how determined he is no matter how immense the gap is between him and All Might

I wish I could forget this scene, just to watch it again and re-live the emotions I felt the first time. Absolute masterpiece.
