Another thing from the Vent ask anon - see this is the thing. BNHA is something I spent both time and money on and the fact that it has turned into something worse than most fanfictions (the Jeart! as a key example) is purely insulting.

Spending time on a fanfic that goes a bit wonky is mildly annoying because it's like "ugh ok I thought this was going to be good but it's not going the way I like so I'll try something else." Nothing is really lost because I can find another work with characters and tropes I enjoy and no money was spent.

But with an actual series like MHA that I'm monetarily putting something towards that goes to shit it's like ok so now I've wasted my time, my money AND my investment! If I'm paying for something I expect it to be written well (like I expect any product I'm paying for to perform well) when it feels like Hori is dunking on us (the fans) a lot of the time now.

Key examples:

The Jeart - of all the B.S ways to bring Bakugou back this takes the cake. It's dumb. They sacrificed the number 4 hero Edgeshot for a teenager who probably won't be able to get up and fight again any time soon.

Just...AFO now - a massive let down (I've already ranted about him separately so won't do so again.) For a villain that started so promisingly too. I want the old AFO back.

Bakugou's redemption. - Satou's comments of "All that character development and he still hasn't changed" feels like he's deliberately clowning on the Anti Bakugou's who see this POS for what he is. Because deep down Hori seems to also see this explosive clown as a POS but doesn't care because he brings in the cash.

Endeavor's redemption - everything about this, all the retcons to make him more palatable, all the blame shifting (on Rei and Touya respectively) and now even the reporter lady feeling bad about reporting negatively about him. Lady! You shouldn't! This guy is an abuser! Seriously it shouldn't be controversial to hate on him - hell even AFO clowning on him was good but a villain voicing the Anti Endeavor arguments means you are (narratively) meant to disagree with them.

Just... shouts into the void "Hori why did you do this?!"

Endeavor is such a pathetic coward.

Like this dude had his dream job, he got promoted extremely fast to the second best in his country at this job. He got tons of money because of it, fame, people looking up to him and idolising him...

and he couldn't just be content with everything he had.

He was unable to comprehend that he wasn't as good as some other dude. He couldn't accept that he was kind of mediocre compared to him and he was in such denial about it that he decided to perform eugenics!!

and now that his mistakes came back to bite him in the ass he's just sitting there crying because the responsibility is too much for him!!!

and we're supposed to root for this person??

who in their right mind actually saw this character during the sports festival arc and decided they wanted a redemption arc for this bastard?

who saw the way he acted towards his family and said "yes this dude deserves a second chance"

like I'm all for second chances, but as I said before (which is somehow an unpopular opinion)

murder can be justified, child abuse cannot

and eugenics definitely cannot!!

I don't care if he feels bad about it now, he should have thought of that when he bought his wife like property and forced her to have children just so he could live vicariously through them and then abused all of them both physically and emotionally.

A lot of people make mistakes during parenting, but you don't just accidentally beat your children until they puke!

No one accidentally performs eugenics!

I hate this bastard so much, I have never wanted to punch a character more in my life. Not because he's the worst character I've ever seen, but because despite all of the above he's treated both by the narrative and the fandom as a "good person at heart". It makes me feel fucking sick!

I still can’t believe how bad endeavor’s redemption was. Mf literally horrifically abused his family for at least two decade with no remorse, seeing the children he brutally trains solely as an extension of himself…all to best all might and be n1…then all the sudden, once he gets to the n1 spot by himself, he’s like “oh it’s not what I expected :(((( suddenly I have feelings and feel bad for what I did to my family :(((( pwease forgive me :(((“

Like nah bro if you were gonna give him a redemption arc all along you could have made him, you know, not a completely inhuman piece of shit pre-redemption. As it stands, I’m cheering and clapping whenever anyone is slightly rude to him.

Call this a nitpick (and it very may well be), but the MHA wiki states that not only did Fuyumi become a teacher because she felt guilty about Shoto's abuse, but that there are moments where she also fears/resents Endeavor.

WHY ARE WE NOT SEEING THIS IN CANON?!

All we see is Fuyumi trying to be peacemaker, her disrespecting Shoto's boundaries by giving Endeavor his contact information, and her putting some of the blame of Touya becoming Dabi on herself.

No. No. No. No. Stop that this instant, Fuyumi. You were a KID. What in the actual FUCK were you, Natsuo, and Shoto supposed to do about that?

Hi @nutzgunray-lvt 👋,

I think Hori fumbled with this, there should be more moments where her resentment is obvious but we rarely see inside her head and Hori doesn't show that when he is.

The becoming a teacher part of Fuyumi, to me read more like her trying to reclaim her lost childhood and be a positive influence on other kids rather than because she felt misplaced guilt about Shoto's abuse (although she definitely did.)

But I do think actually Hori does show the fear stuff well;

Giving out Shoto's contact information despite how Shoto would feel about it. - This is what many fans are rightfully annoyed at her for. Although, I see this as an act of fear on Fuyumi's end, she was afraid of defying her dad when he asked her for that information and the possible rage/shouting/etc.. that could come from that defiance. (This is where Hori could have benefited from putting in a scene of Fuyumi apologising to Shoto for that and explaining that she felt too scared to defy even an 'redeemed' Endeav. Fear of an abuser doesn't just go away because they decided they are good now - Hori.)

Putting some of the blame on herself for Touya. - That reads as (not only misplaced guilt) but also softening the blow for Endeavor because she is fearful of him and how he could blow up / revert if she said "Yeah actually it is all you."

Side note 1 - there is also Rei to think of in regard to that second point. Fuyumi clearly is influenced by her mum and takes after her more than her father so Rei saying that "it is not just on you, it is on all of us," to Endeavour regarding Touya could have influenced Fuyumi's thinking too despite how warped that is.

Side note 2 - when seeing the extreme fallout of abusive behaviour committed by an abuser, victims often think "what could I have done to prevent this?" or "I should have done this differently," Especially when they are caught up in the aftermath like the Todoroki's (bar Endeav) are here. This is an understandable but misplaced thinking here. Neither she nor her brothers or mother could have prevented this outcome.

Endeavor could have.

Endeavor is at fault.

He chose to do this. He made Dabi and no one else is at fault (especially not the Todosibs who were also children in an abusive environment.)

Shoutout to Rei, whose genes were so strong that all four of her kids ended up pretty despite their father looking like a toe

The irony of Endeavor crying and saying he can’t fight his fully grown adult son, but he was completely okay with abusing them when they were children.
