i genuinely think the lov are the most human and well written antagonists in modern media
#bnha#the league of villains#so often antagonists are presented as the final versions of themselves#already all powerful and a threat to the protagonist#but the lov are still growing into themselves#every single one of them has theyre own layered character with individual wants and desires that compliment each other#you buy that they would work together and feel their relationships change as time goes on#from being more selfishly focused to working on their joint goals#they talk to each other the same way the protagonists do#like in kamino when compress asks who can do distance and spinner says kurogiri and dabi but theyre down#theyre organically learning about each other#magnes death while abrupt leads twice down his road#twice dying for his friends isnt hollow bc you really feel that they are his friends and that he loves them bc they took the time to develop#their friendships#and his death believably sends toga into a tailspin#the anime dropped the ball with spinner and shigaraki but their relationship is also important and so well done#even when spinner is completely clouded by the quirks hes been given he still remembers and wants to help the guy he played video games with#it humanises shigaraki when hes at his most monsterous#even the way compress and spinner are surprised that dabi is touya theyre not surprised that he is theyre surprised he didnt tell them#which just goes to show how much they tell each other when we dont see them#i cant think of another set of antagonists as well written as them and i think its bc theyre treated asthe protagonists of their own stories#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#go beyond plus ultra#the lov#shigaraki tomura
