'Tough On Crime' Should Mean Proactive Policies, Not Reactionary Punishments.

Does he like do geko noises as well? Like that chirping sound some make when they get fed or like feel nice? Does he then just eat his favorite Ramen with extra protein and some geko supplements and chirps while eating it?

Since Spinner has like a reptile quirk and all. Does he shed? And if he does, is it like all reptiles connected to his age? And if it is is it like focused on human age and all or more on like growth. Cause reptiles she'd more when they are younger and grow lots. So would he like just sort of very slowdown shedding at 18, so growth or continue cause it is more age related?

I think he would. He is like a Geco if I remember right.

Geckos Shead 1 time every week and with human age i would say it would slow down when he hit puberty and most males go throw this at 15 to 16 so maybe around there. Making it to where he sheds every 2 to 3 weeks and the older, he becomes the more time is added to him not. sheading.

But I only know a little about lizards. I'm mostly using google for this lol.

I’m tired of hearing people say “Disney’s Cinderella is sanitized. In the original tale, the stepsisters cut off parts of their feet to make the slipper fit and get their eyes pecked out by birds in the end.”

I understand this mistake. I’m sure a lot of people buy copies of the complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales, see their tale of Aschenputtel translated as “Cinderella”, and assume what they’re reading is the “original” version of the tale. Or else they see Into the Woods and make the same assumption, because Sondheim and Lapine chose to base their Cinderella plot line on the Grimms’ Aschenputtel instead of on the more familiar version. It’s an understandable mistake. But I’m still tired of seeing it.

The Brothers Grimm didn’t originate the story of Cinderella. Their version, where there is no fairy godmother, the heroine gets her elegant clothes from a tree on her mother’s grave, and where yes, the stepsisters do cut off parts of their feet and get their eyes pecked out in the end, is not the “original.” Nor did Disney create the familiar version with the fairy godmother, the pumpkin coach, and the lack of any foot-cutting or eye-pecking.

If you really want the “original” version of the story, you’d have to go back to the 1st century Greco-Egyptian legend of Rhodopis. That tale is just this: “A Greek courtesan is bathing one day, when an eagle snatches up her sandal and carries it to the Pharaoh of Egypt. The Pharaoh searches for the owner of the sandal, finds her and makes her his queen.”

Or, if you want the first version of the entire plot, with a stepdaughter reduced to servitude by her stepmother, a special event that she’s forbidden to attend, fine clothes and shoes given to her by magic so she can attend, and her royal future husband finding her shoe after she loses it while running away, then it’s the Chinese tale of Ye Xian you’re looking for. In that version, she gets her clothes from the bones of a fish that was her only friend until her stepmother caught it and ate it.

But if you want the Cinderella story that Disney’s film was directly based on, then the version you want is the version by the French author Charles Perrault. His Cendrillon is the Cinderella story that became the best known in the Western world. His version features the fairy godmother, the pumpkin turned into a coach, mice into horses, etc, and no blood or grisly punishments for anyone. It was published in 1697. The Brothers Grimm’s Aschenputtel, with the tree on the grave, the foot-cutting, etc. was first published in 1812.

The Grimms’ grisly-edged version might feel older and more primitive while Perrault’s pretty version feels like a sanitized retelling, but such isn’t the case. They’re just two different countries’ variations on the tale, French and German, and Perrault’s is older. Nor is the Disney film sanitized. It’s based on Perrault.

“Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn’t be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves.”

Tbh, I started MHA because I thought it would be inspirational and shit. There is this powerless guy who gets powers from his idol and wants to save everyone. I thought since he knew how cruel society could be, since he experienced it himself, we'd get some great plot twists and conversations with villains. Especially after we got their backstories. But then, for Izuku, the supposed hero of all and everyone, to just go "Nvm, we need to kill them all," was quite shocking to me.

Even more when nothing happened after Endeavor was exposed and after the Lady Nagant thing. Or so much more, he is so close to these villains and their living reality from time to time that it really makes me question how he can still be in support of the heroes and the agencies as much as he is. Like he knows the truth about Tenko but stays quiet, nobody will ever truly know how much of a victim he was.

I expected at least something from Izuku, who is the hero of all. But I should have seen all this bullshit coming when the Eri arc with the festival happened. Like yeah, sure, one dance and a smile helped a girl get over the years of experimentation and drama instantly.

I used to roll my eyes at the "Eri will rewind Tomura to kill him and get Tenko back to save everyone" theory but now I feel like it would have been 10 times better than the actual ending we got. I am just very disappointed at the Manga, especially the conclusion and how rushed the ending felt. I also hate it how tmsome parts of the community treated the villain and the MVA arc, like please stop acting like bratty toddlers who have never heard of empathy and can only hate for once.

"But Dabi wanted to kill Shoto as a kid. He was soo selfish and cruel. He is a sociopath!" He was a fucking kid, kids a petty and need to learn their emotional intelligence from their parents. And since Enji has the emotional intelligence of a brick or course something messed up happened. Toya just wanted his father's attention and the man to be proud of him. And sociopathy is taught and is just another proof of the fact that Endeavor is a horrible person.

"But...but he changed! He is a good father now! He wants to fix his family!" Fix the family by killing the one that exposed him? Fix the family by being an overbearing father to Shoto? Fix the family by literally convincing them that Toya is the only problem and that they need to gang up to kill him? And even if he changed he needs to pay for his fucking crimes.

"But Dabi is evil!" Dabi is literally the product of his father's abusive and neglecting behavior toward his family. Of course, the child of an abuser is messed up in the head! Oh look, the sky is blue. Oh, what a fucking discovery.

And that is just Dabi and Endeavor. I don't even want to start with Tomura and AFO. That is the peak abuser and victim thing where the victim gets not acknowledged and is literally told "Your abuser was bad and all, but you ARE his victim. So why didn't you fight back when you were 5? You should have known better," like please. People!

I love Mha and it has truly great villains and a good idea. It could have been the most awesome story about changing society and stopping the stigmatization of minorities and victims of abuse and villains. It could have been an inspiration on how to better the world. Izuku could have been a goat for redeeming the villains and opening the people's eyes. He could have started a revolution. It could have been wonderful.

But looks like his legs are not stable enough, and now I can't even take him or Hori seriously.

Random 14 year-olds write better endings to MHA than Horikoshi himself. How do you fuck up your "dream series where all my wishes come true" so badly.

Also, sorry for all this yapping, I need to put my anger and disappointment somewhere.

So When Did Things Start Going Down Hill

I don't mean everything is shit after this, but things looking back started getting (steadily) worse starting with. Check bottom for more indept view on each option

A) at first I wasn't going to include this one as it happened before most of what I considered shit started happening, but with how much it blatantly favours this lazy-ass child abuser, how could I not include it. And of course, it shows so much evidence that he hasn't changed at all, like only even offering to teach Midoriya and Bakugo to manipulate his favourite victim Shoto

B) when it first happened I was devastated but expected this to lead to greater change to the hero system and society. But no, just a meaningless footnote to the heroes epic battle

C) literally no one questions how a top hero was just so eager to kill someone, or buy a wife, breed her, abuse & neglect his kids to the point one of them was believed dead. Only citizens whining about how Dabi is bad for them

D) here's this apparently big shot hero from the States we've never heard of before and immediately dies. If they wanted to keep Shigaraki from having too many powers they could of just chalked it up to the heroes interupting the process

E) the Todoroki family all blames themselves, this isn't to go into the complexity of abusive households, but to absolve Endeavor's responsibility and guilt. Despite the fact that as the one who created and was in control of this situation, he should be held accountable for theirs as well. The only backlash for his shit is framed as ohh poor Endeavor, he didn't mean for the child he threw away to create consequences, and now people are being mean to them

F) what was the point of this arc? Deku barely asks a villain three questions before giving up. He learns the HPSC had Lady Nagant acting as a secret assassin against any undesireables for them, covered up her arrest and got a replacement assassin (Hawks who has at least one confirmed extra jurdical murder under his belt). Witnesses an innocent woman get attacked for her appearance and was turned away from multiple shelters for said appearance. Deku: Hero Society is the Best, Nothing needs to change, because not every single apple in this basket is rotten to the core! Looking back he just looks worse for this

G) so this child, who due to his parents mistake was blackmailed under great threat & risk, into giving information to the blackmailer, deserves to be chained up and forced to take further risk by the heroes. Remember Endeavor never faces any consequences, nor does Hawks, but this child, Yuga, gets treated like this.

H) once again what was the point? How does Edgeshot know he can do this? How does he know how to do this? Why is he a top hero who has never interacted with Bakugo before this, sacrifices his appearing to be unharmed self, for a random hero student in the middle of a war? Oh and Edgeshot is revealed to be alive at the end of the manga, because Heroes have no consequences and live in magical fairytail land. Again what was the fucking point!

I) This was originally going to be two points, Oh poor Endeavor, victim blaming part 2 and the hospital battle. But I ran out of options and Endeavor doesn't need another personal option. So we got the whole Todofam blaming Dabi/Touya this time, and Endeavor being a whiney responsibility dodging coward again. Then we see the heroes knew that the villains were going to go after Kurogiri, kept him in a hospital. We see that the people aren't going after doctors or patients just trying to get to Kurogiri, get demonized for it. We have victim blamer/ pick-me Tentacole say that their kids will be attacked for this (already happening), and that it's up to them/ him to inspire the violent quirkests to not constantly attack, assualt, and otherwise discriminate against them, no need for the quirkists to be given any responsibility or consequences for their own actions. Oh and Spinner has major brain damage because how else was Tentacole supposed to win this arguement. Bonus points for Hawks calling for Toga to be murdered, doubling right back down on his previous murder

J) in this already overcrowded 3rd act lets make sure all these background characters get a scene! And despite the fact it took years for Deku to get a powersuit in the epilogue, All Might just randomly gets one, no build up or anything. AFO's backstory is left in the past so no one has to consider anything

K) I had hope going into this, but at every turn they kept on making it worse. Deku only tries punching and attacking, rather than make any attempts to actually talk unlike what Shigaraki has been doing since his introduction. Is randomly able to enter Shigaraki's head, doesn't have to see just how fucked Hero Society is as it gets cut short by moral scapegoat AFO coming in and revealing he orcastrated everything! Oh and he flat out kills Shigaraki. Living up to his name and not his goal. Deku that could my ass

Sorry if this comes off as super negative but I've been wondering this for a while, and well I'm pissed at the ending. Here's some people I want to hear the opinions of:

And "The Masochism Tango" from Tom Lehrer is very Shigadabi coded in my opinion

Quick traditional ass sketch with that shitty pencil on that free note I got from attending a seminar before my appointment. I'll tell the therapist they're the reason I'm sick and always throwing up aUGH<3

Shigaraki's death would have indeed been better if he ended AFO in the end. I mean, when AFO went on a rant about how he controlled and puppeteered (is that even a word?) his whole life, I was half expecting him to fight back with utter destruction and anger. Because we know he can feel anger and hate (somewhat). But for it to be so anticlimactic and all.

I wasn't even mad about Izuku becoming a teacher. That was honestly a quite good call. To teach young and bring them on the right way... right into the manipulative and broken system, he fell into himself. Yeah, the last part didn't sit right with me. But for him never to speak uo about Tenko and just letting everyone believe he was a full on Monster, which had always been this hateful creature (he was evil, but I wouldn't call him a monster right away. AFO is a monster im my opinion)

Friendly reminder that Shigaraki being saved ≠ his actions being forgiven.

He still deserves to be saved from AFO and from himself, regardless of his actions. That doesn’t mean all is forgiven, though.

It would be so meaningless to just kill him, because what message would that send? It would be far more meaningful to save him.

Humans back then and now aren't so different. I mean, who doesn't dream of owning a castle in the future and getting drunk for 20 years before dying. Life is a party
