Comments

In regards to some of your comments on Succession about rich people and shorts. In The Sooranos, the boss of New York City at some point calls out Tony for wearing shorts at a private garden party, saying, “A Don doesn’t wear shorts.”

i noticed in the flashback where deku punched Bakugou they changed the dialogue from, lets win this to let's work together, is it perspective is it how Bakugou viewed that moment.

(My Hero Academia) Endeavor balled out. He was breathing fire. The man shot fire out of his eyes. Eat your heart out Superman. Endeavor lost an arm and was still able to control his flames to become a condensed, makeshift hurricane of flame in the shape of his arm. That’s fucking metal. He was channeling pure mad lad energy that Deku and All Might would be proud. He was a blazing inferno of living fire that was hellbent on just incinerating All For One. And he would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for that pesky Rewind quirk. All For One, you sneaky devil. The juxtaposition between Endeavor and Bakugo recognizing their weakness was a nice touch. They even both got their right arms messed up. Nice parallel. We have Endeavor being driven by his own sense of weakness in an effort to overcome the death of his father. In his mind, Enji’s father died because he wasn’t strong enough to save that little girl and Enji curses that weakness everyday. It’s the source of all of his flaws and awes. It’s his origin. Now he understands even more about his own weakness in that he destroyed his family in his attempt to become superhuman like All Might. He realizes that he will never be as pure of heart as All Might or Deku and will never attain the power of One For All. However, he will keep cursing his weakness and never let himself off the hook for his failures. Great choice to have him stop making his flame beard. He only put that up as a constant show of strength to cover up his weakness. Now he’s done with needing to be seen as the strongest. He can just let his weakness show the man he really is. Brilliant character development. And Bakugo, to a lesser extent, thought back to the disparity between him and Deku. That misunderstanding that caused Bakugo’s inferiority complex to flare up and he took it out on Deku. He saw himself as the main character with everyone else as extras, but now he sees that everyone has their place from Monoma and Aizawa to Momo to Kaminari. This isn’t just the Bakugo show and that counters nicely with All For One’s treatment of “side characters” in reference to Tokoyami and Jiro. Bakugo was raised thinking he was special and that the world was owed to him. His journey at UA has gotten him out of that mindset and he can now appreciate the value of “side characters” instead of pushing them down. And he’s unlocked a new move with those shoulder guns: Murica! Also Tokoyami wrapping Jiro’s jacket around his arm and using that darkness for a Ragnarok level punch was insanely cool. Tokoyami is definitely one of the characters who has leveled up the most and has one of the highest ceilings. To go from next to useless in light to figuring out a way to use maximum power in a localized part of his body reminds me of Deku using 100% OFA in his fingers.

YOOO! The Dragon Prince is legit and you guys HAVE to watch it again. It's SO good now that I almost forgive it for sucking for a season and a half 😆 (I PROMISE YOU... this will not be the last time I have about it. PROMISE.)

I hated the voice for fried AFO in the dub, but I actually really liked the Endeavor translation for his inner monologue. "There will never be a day I'll be able to pat myself on the back" is core to how Endeavor sees himself, how he's always seen himself, and how everyone else sees him now, too.
