actually the thing that pisses me off when fandom talks about the titans tower incident isn't even just that people wildly misinterpret/overreact to it, but that they only care about it because it happened to tim
half the other unhinged shit jason has done towards heroes (beautiful and spectacular) is like. never brought up. the titans tower incident is just tim fans' way of angsting up their blank canvas

Something I find extremely fascinating about AFO but never see a lot of people talk about is how he is content with letting his original body die and letting his vestige take over for him.
The story explicitly tells us that quirk vestiges aren't something like souls, while they have the same look, personality and memories they're actually separate entities from the person they are apart of and whatever happens to the vestige the person they belong to has no recollection or awareness of it. (though AFO's case here is special as Ujiko's modification to Tomura does make him aware of what AFOmura is doing, but it's still a different entity than him)
So I find it intriguing how AFO is willing to literally let himself die as long as the vestige can live on. He calls his own body useless and constantly talks about how superior his new body will be even though it'll be his vestige that lives inside of it not the actual him. With how much time he spent with Ujiko and learning from him about the way quirks work you think that he would hesitate about the entire matter as if his original body dies then he dies a long with it. His vestige isn't his soul so his true self would not live on. If you believe the characters in that world have souls then essentially he'll be in the afterlife as his vestige lives on and completes his work.
I think it says a lot in how he views himself in relation to his quirk. He only ever goes by the name All For One, which is what he also names his quirk. I think he sees his quirk as something so deeply intermingled with his identity that the thought of his actual body dying doesn't bother him. So he's fine with his quirk vestige living on as his own body withers away because views it as part of his truest self. So it doesn't matter if he dies as long as this part he views as his authentic self is able to keep on living in the world and makes his dreams come true then he's fine with it
Don't know if this made sense, maybe someone else can explain this better or correct me, but it's such a perplexing and yet fascinating aspect of his character. Honestly, I don't even think I fully understand how quirk vestiges work completely because it can be confusing at times.

my current theory is that PJO TV is gonna go the exact same route as the movies:
Movie/Season 1 - The writing is meh and is criticized alongside the heavy deviations from the original series. Some people are staunch believers that it is too harshly criticized for being a derivative series, and they're probably right to some degree. As a stand-alone media it's somewhat confusing without original context and generally received as Medium-At-Best, but not the worst thing ever.
Movie/Season 2 - The writers respond to criticism by making changes recommended by feedback to the first [season/movie]. These changes to be closer to the books are generally regarded favorably. The second [movie/season] is regarded with little fanfare. They solve too much way too early on and essentially kill any chance for them to continue the series, but set up a continuation anyways by introducing Thalia. They announce plans for the third [movie/season] and everyone is confused.
Movie/Season 3 - Is announced but never comes to fruition and everyone is kind of relieved by that. Also I personally hope Disney+ will be dead by this point. Maybe Netflix will pick it up to go with the TKC movies. I dunno.

sorry i am broadcasting my thoughts in real time but i am sitting at work thinking about the k.will mv and the way one part of me really loves it because it serves the story of the song so well and i am a sucker for that while another part of me obviously doesn’t need to see another bury your gays trope … though even then you can see they put a lot of love and a lot of effort to make this mv beautiful even if it’s a tragedy and i don’t know both of these things can exist i guess
