#mha negative

I hate the war arc

[petrenocka]

I just realized where the writer might be going with the whole AFO possession thing and it made me so angry.

For the record I stopped reading mha as of chapter 347 and have no intention to ever come back. But despite my best effort I am categorically unable to stop caring about what the series was until the hospital war ark and what it could've been after.

And if the conclusion to the possession bullshit is Shigaraki seeing how great it is when someone saves you and dropping his hatred for the hero astablishment I better not hear of it, because I would commit actual homicide.

woke up to find Bakugo’s apology getting analyzed by academic professionals in a zento mock exam

it is so interesting how 431 izuku was watching ochako at dinner with like 0 thoughts in his brain, at least that we saw. to me it fr looked like he was realizing how happy and content ochako looked, especially given their talk during the war. and he wanted to be at that level of satisfaction too

This is about my negative charge idea from my post about traitor denki

Kaminari: NEGATIVE CHARGE!?!? Did they just ask about my NEGATIVE CHARGE!?!?!

Shinsou: How do they even know about that!?!

Kaminari: THEY EVEN KNOW I CALL IT MY NEGATIVE CHARGE!!

Shinsou: What the hell!!?

Kaminari: Did you FUCKING TATTLE ON ME!?!!

Shinsou: YOU THINK I TATTLED TO THE FUCKING LEAGUE OF VILLAINS!!?

Kaminari: WELL ITS NOT LIKE IVE TOLD ANYONE ELSE!!

Shinsou: OF COURSE I DIDNT!!!

Kaminari: THEN HOW DO THEY KNOW

Sero: What is happening

Shinsou: They must have had someone listening in or a bug somewhere or...SOMETHING I don't know!!

Kaminari: Well, no one was listening in I checked

Shinsou: Then they must have bugged someplace! Did you check for bugs!

Kaminari: No I didn't check for BUGS!!! WHY WOULD I THINK TO DO THAT!!!

Shinsou: WELL THAT MUST BE HOW THEY KNOW!

Kaminari: GODDAMMIT!!!

Toga: Uhhh

Toga: So, about you joining us...

Kaminari: NO!! NO, ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY!?!? WHY WOULD I AGREE TO THAT!!!

Shigaraki: We don't want to speak to this part of you, we want to speak with your negative side. ...unless this is your negative side....I- I can't really tell right now...

Kaminari: FUCK THAT!!! FUCK MY NEGATIVE SIDE, FUCK THIS, AND FUCK YOU!! You guys REALLY need to STOP GOING AFTER KIDS just because they have a NEGATIVE TEMPERMENT SOMETIMES first Bakugo and now ME!?! Are you FUCKING kidding me!?

Shinsou: Okay, Denki....Deep breaths...

Kaminari: DON'T TELL ME TO FUCKING DO BREATHING EXERCISES I- FUCK YOU, DUDE!

Shinsou: Jesus! I've never seen him this angry before!

Kaminari: *still angrily yelling in the background*

Bakugo: Is it weird that I'm kinda proud?

Kirishima: Very.

I'm so sorry but ever since that teen Hawks page was translated on twitter I can't stop thinking about it. like. Mera treated him like a person. he was assigned to Hawks when he was already a teenager. did no one treat him like a person before then? was it such an uncommon occurrence that it seemed special when someone did? I mean, they didn't even let him have a person's name. they gave him a hero name, and to the HPSC, that was the name of a tool. of a product. they basically bought a child and treated him so coldly that Mera stood out to him because he treated him like a person. the bars of my enclosure.

ableism in mha

okay so i was scrolling and i came across this post and it helped me reorganize a lot of thoughts ive been thinking sense i first started mha. ive always been not a fan of izuku getting ofa in the first place as it felt to me as it almost completely erased any meaning of his backstory. it felt like such a plot armor/mary sue moment but in the end i got over it, assuming that most likely he would loose it at one point (i was right but we'll get to that later).

after he enters UA its almost as if his entire past is just like- not important?? i have plenty of hcs about his suppressed trauma and if you read into a lot of the situations he goes thru in the manga i can see it but is not blatantly said/expressed that he struggles with a complex from how he was treated as a child.

in the end mha becomes a manga mostly focused on some sort of version of not judging a person by their cover. The fact that a technically "villainous" quirk does not make someone a bad person.

now ofc this is totally true. no one should be overlooked or declined rights or decency because of the quirk they have. this lesson is a valid one.

the analogy i have made up in my head is this.

people who are born with "hero-like" or "useful" quirks, for example: bakugou, todoroki, hawks etc are beautiful people

(for the context of this metaphor ignore the fact that beauty is complex and is in the eye of the beholder just roll with me)

and then you have the people with "useless" or average quirks that are just average people

and then you have people like toga or shinsou with quirks that are seen as inherently dangerous. quirks that are unable to be used for good. those are the ugly people.

now obviously we shouldnt discriminate people just because society says they are ugly. there is no doubt in that and it is a tragedy that it happened and still happens.

however

20% of the population cannot even fall onto this scale. the quirkless. aka the disabled. they are not even seen as being worth a label on the scale because they are so disgusting and strange that no one wants to remember yhey exist.

i wouldnt be as upset by the lack of talk about quirkless people if izuku wasnt quirkless, if the first arc of mha wasnt izuku struggling with the fact that no one in the world cares about him but his mom and that not even her believes he can achieve anything because of his disability.

the whole set up was izuku wanted to be a hero DESPITE his disability. even though truly he thought it was impossible. he didnt work out, he didnt try and do anything to become a hero because he believed everyone was right. that what society had been telling him his whole life was true and he couldnt be a hero. but he wanted to despite that. that was the hook of mha. at least for me.

a bullied lonely boy with a disability achieves his dream despite society. despite being told at every turn that he couldnt do it. he said he can and he does.

but thats not what happened at all.

instead some pillar of all that is heroic drops down from the sky and magically cures his disability. and suddenly hes just a normal kid.

and suddenly we forget all about midoriya izuku and how hard it is to be quirkless. how much quirkless people struggle. how many of them must commit suicide because of yhe seeming completely normalized harassment of them in everyday life.

and i dont want to blame izuku for this because in the end hes a kid with trauma who just wants to fit in. its frankly quite obvious that he whole heartedly agrees with bakugou and everyone else from his past that yeah quirkless people are useless.

the way he treated Melissa in the movie broke my heart. he belittled her like it was second nature and while he obviously had no malicious feelings toward her because of her quirklessness he sees her as a second class citizen. hes surprised that she is able to achieve things despite her disability. that she manages to be happy in a world where she isnt "normal".

and again in the long run i dont truly blame izuku for feeling this way. like everyone he is a product of his environment.

again, however:

i do blame horikoshi

do we need to be nicer to people with villainous quirks: yes ofc

but your manga isnt about that. your manga is about someone whose seen as even less than that. you can address both issues.

having bakugou break down about izuku becoming quirkless was good but that was pretty much all we got.

and what happenes when izuku looses ofa?? he gives up on being a hero.

how the hell does that make sense

everyone in japan knows this boys name. he is considered a top hero. and he just drops off the face the hero scene?

hatsume exists??? izukus face has been in her boobs TWICE for gods sake. yaoyorozu can make things out of thin and are they had to wait 8 years.

izuku is too smart to not think of that.

it would take hatsume 3 days max.

and ignoring that whole point again hori is pushing the idea that bakugou and everyone from aldera were CORRECT. that yeah u were right to think the quirkless of useless cause like they cant do anything :3c

izuku has had NO growth this whole manga. all hes learned is how to hit things how to kick things and awww kacchan sad :(((.

nothing about believing in himself. nothing about how he can be a hero despite the odds. nothing even about the power of friendship helping him to overcome.

im just like wtf hori.

People don't want character redemption they want a revenge plot from a story that was never supposed to be about revenge

Like I feel like 90% of my problems with 423 (Izuku) could have easily been fixed if Hori had actually stayed true to Izuku's character as someone driven by his empathy for others. Naturally I would have still been extremely upset with Tenko's death, yeah, but I think I would have at least been able to gradually process it and eventually accept it if Hori had actually depicted Izuku as like... actually reacting to the fact that he's killing Tenko and actually attempting to grapple with the weight of taking his life. Any reaction that might come after this chapter is simply too late to undo the damage.

Blood+ is an excellent example of a well done "I had no choice but to kill you" villain death: In this series, The hero (Saya) is ultimately forced to fight and kill her villain (Diva), but the core of her character-- her kindness-- is never sacrificed. It's enhanced by the tragedy of it all, of her being forced to end a life when she sincerely didn't want to. Even though Diva did terrible and unforgivable things, the first thing Saya does when she sees her crumbling is to rush forward and comfort her despite her own injuries, and to express intense anguish over not being able to help her. This cements why Saya is the hero of this story. I haven't watched Blood+ in over ten years, but the final moment between these two is something that has stuck with me all this time-- this is how you write a powerful ending between your kind/empathetic MC and the villain they were ultimately forced to kill.

Comparatively, everything about Izuku and Tenko's resolution feels completely numb. Izuku's lackluster nonreaction to everything he learned about Tenko in the vestige world. His complete lack of distress when Tenko's abuser swallowed him up and took over his body again. Him not expressing any concern for Tenko's safety once AFO resurfaced. Him continuing to beat on Tenko's body as it crumbled without any internal conflict or hesitation.

All of it sacrifices the very foundation of Izuku's character-- him being moved to act out of EMPATHY for others, not out of a desire to simply "beat the villain". The climax of Izuku's long awaited "rising" chapter is ultimately about him punching someone rather than saving someone, which also betrays the core of his character (yes, it's also about how he inspires others by doing his best but can you honestly say him rushing forward to punch TomurAFO to death was "doing his best as a hero". What was supposed to be the cumulation of Izuku's arc ends up being completely surface level/lacking sincerity and instead reads like Hori is just going through the motions).

The boy from chapter 1 whose body moved on its own after seeing someone in pain was ultimately more heroic than the boy from chapter 423, and that's one of the many reasons why people should be upset with this chapter and what it's done to Izuku's character/arc.

God... what is it with recent narratives and doing abuse narratives in such a god-awful fashion?

I'm talking about MHA and TUA in particular here, two of my previously favourite pieces of media now ruined by thier endings... I'm so upset Bibi 😭😭😭

Please don't bring the umbrella academy into this Iam still trying to recover from that god awful season 4 (heck it's so bad that even the actors didn't like it) 😭😭😭.

Like how and why is five and Lila even a thing 😭😭😭. There is so much wrong with that whether that be within the show and in real life. Yikes there's so much that went wrong with Tua that I can't even fully unpack here. What happend to Klaus and why was almost none of the characters traumas properly addressed like come on how could you fumble this badly?!?!?

MHA is also bad when it comes to the way abuse was handled. Victims lack nunance and are either purely good or purely evil characters that can't be saved. Some victims are used to PROP up their abusers while others have their emotions sidelined and forgotten about. It's a horrible mess of wasted potential.

The only one who was done SOME justice was natsou and no one was done justice in the umbrella academy.
