I can draw him with that hair everyday
honest question... was there really nothing spinner could've done to save Shigaraki? i really dunno what Hori thought by one more step.
i guess hypothetically if spinner had tried to take shigaraki and run and then get murdered because he's on an actual island with some scary motherfuckers. then at least his effort could have meant something to shigaraki and help him fight AFO's control sooner? or something?
here's the thing, for me. a) the story doesn't really suggest another path that spinner could have taken that he denied, to make his failure something concrete. difficult to run away, again he's on an actual island. the guy he wants to save is the one being possessed so can't really take him anywhere, he'll just be possessed about it. can't go to the heroes cuz the heroes suck ass. at most he could have refused the extra quirks from AFO to remain under his own power, but then horikoshi would have had a harder time figuring out how to get spinner to kurogiri because he really needs characters to be strong enough to smash things aside in order to get to the next plot point.
and b) i can't imagine a scenario where spinner tries something and survives it. and frankly the story has taught me to recognize that acts of heroism, goodness, and kindness only matter if you survive them. kouta's parents die heroically against muscular and he's traumatized for it, but is fixed when deku fights muscular and survives it. nana's regret isn't abandoning her kid, but dying to AFO - deku of course survives his encounters with the guy. deku's ultimate heroic act is him psychically holding tenko's hands before he can decay his family in the fake made up world of his mind of memories that cannot be meaningfully changed cuz the family murder already happened, and nevermind that tenko's mom's first instinct was to run towards her child with her arms outstretched to try and save him, reassure him. but she was stupid enough to do that in real life and die for it! sucks to suck i guess.
let's be real. this whole thing was basically written in to make deku seem ultra good, despite doing very little. i can't really take it as a meaningful reflection of spinner's failures.
i'll be real this foreshadowing was a little heavy-handed. so let's editorialize a bit. spinner looks SO cute in his panel lookit him i wanna hold his face so fucking bad. and dabi won't even PEEK, he will not GLANCE. this is why i'm right when i say that dabi is a fuckin
"Touya loves his dad" and "Touya hates his dad" both don't get the full picture. Dabi loves the IDEA of Enji as his father but he HATES the person Enji is. Any love he has is for the idea of what his father *should* be or *should* have been and his hatred is based on the reality of who Enji is as a person
heyyyy i know we’re all annoyed about mva but can people stop blaming the japanese fandom for it bc they supposedly dont like the villains?? its getting racist. japanese people are not a monolith. please stop acting like they’re a hivemind who all hate villains when we know the western fandom also hates villains. i’m seeing shit like “fuck the japanese” and my guy do you not realize what you sound like? just stop. be annoyed at the studio all you want but stop blaming japan as a whole.
