I Know You've Touched On This Subject Before But It Really Pains Me To Hear How People Voice Their Want

Boy, the heroes of MHA sure do find their questionable actions needing defences like “but it’s a war” or “AFO/Shigaraki/Twice is/was so dangerous though” or “well the villains are committing war crimes too” lately. You don’t really see other media’s heroes needing those excuses; at least not the ones going for MHA’s optimistic tone. I’d like to talk about why for a bit, as well as why MHA changing that script doesn’t really work for the heroes.

You see; while we on Tumblr like to make fun of how villains in media are always trying to fix something but kick a puppy so you know we’re supposed to side with the people not trying to fix things: the way it’s supposed to be is that villains, at least the well-(enough-)intentioned extremist types like the League & most of the PLF, try to better the world but go *dramatic voice* too far in the process. Meanwhile the heroes harden their resolve and take them down by the book through ingenuity and determination; and although they are protecting the status quo, in the process of this victory the heroes prove that whatever problems initially sparked the conflict can be solved in *dramatic voice* a better way.

But if the heroes also go *dramatic voice* too far in their efforts to protect the status quo, as they do in BNHA, well that kind of undercuts their platform. I mean what’s the message there? That there actually isn’t a better way because underhanded & sketchy tactics are the only way to get things done? That message sucks and so do these heroes.

I can see why the manga keep trying to ignore or brush aside the heroes’ moral darkening, clumsily hand-waving Machia’s brainwashing or framing Hawks as still a good guy ‘cause he’s so optimistic and the like. It makes it really hard for them to be inspiring with all their ‘light of hope’ talk if you don’t forget all that. I know because I make a point not to forget this stuff and I don’t find these heroes inspiring at all.

I’ve only seen the LOV seiyuu event being passed around through twitter screencaps (which is annoying to read imo) so I’m copy+pasting @/shibuyasmash’s posts about the skit below the cut. The full thread can be found here.

The stage is dark except for a light on AFO’s voice actor, and the skit starts with a monologue by All For One in Tartarus. He’s musing about how boring it is in Tartarus and how they can monitor everything but his thoughts.

All For One ponders about how a Quirk that could control the mind & heart could be the most powerful and simple way to get what he wants. But AFO decides a Quirk like that would make things unsatisfying and boring.

All For One remembers his brother reading the comic and thinks about how the last interesting conversation he had was with All Might wearing his sad looking loose hero costume.

All For One thinks about All Might is too sentimental and has to let his student go to learn on his own, like AFO has done with Shigaraki after raising him carefully for all these years…

We then fade away from All For One’s thoughts and see his beloved student Shigaraki… in a room that’s all messy and trashed. They show a picture on the screen of the messy room & the lights turn on the LOV voice actors. All of the LOV is there except for Dabi.
