Like Never Fully Addressing The Quirkless People Can Be Heroes Too Thing But Thats A Topic For Next Time - Tumblr Posts

Honestly despite my feelings about how the last arc of MHA went down I really love Deku and his story.

I just feel like a lot of the time we get these protagonists whose whole philosophy is it doesn’t matter what you were born as everyone can achieve greatness. But then the series goes on and it turns out that actually it DOES matter because the protagonist has this really great lineage and these really great powers you can only have through birth they were actually born born, predestined if you will, to do this.

But MHA actually sticks to its guns. Midoriya wasn’t revealed to have some great connection to all might that the universe had put in place. He wasn’t defended from some great lineage that makes him uniquely suited to this. Hell All for one didn’t even turn out to be his father, there was no hidden powerful quirk he was always meant to have. He was just Midoriya Izuku a boy who was in the right place at the right time and simply decided to act while the world did nothing. And that’s what really made him a hero.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I believe him a bit more when he goes anybody can be a hero if you just decide to act

also never stop crying baby I love taht about you like I do understand that being given one for all an extremely powerful quirk is kind of a cop out but still the quirk was passed down to him because of his own merits not becayse it was pre destined or because he was born to weird it and honestly that’s more than we’ve got in a long time. yes this is a little bit of a naruto call out cause I will never get over that complete 180 😭 and it does randomly drop that little tidbit of how it was good luck Midoriya was quirkless or the quirk would have killed him young but honestly I don’t even know what to make of that besides……yay? also yeah that’s pretty realistic sometimes disabilities make your more suited for somethings so yeah this isn’t me implying that other protagonists didn’t work hard by the way I know they did two things can be true at once bakugo proves that. like he is was born with an extremely powerful quirk but nobody can say he doesn’t work hard it’s just a little tiring to see this underdog character suddenly get a backstory that’s like sike you actually needed to be born to do thi one piece does this a little bit to be fair to them the story doesn’t really emphasize anyone can do it that way it has different themes about what family means and it’s all about inherited will so I can give it a pass but yeah I really appreciate mha for sticking to that gun even though it dropped the ball on a lot of things like never fully addressing the quirkless people can be heroes too thing but that’s a topic for next time throwing thoughts to the void deku mha my hero academia mha meta mha analysis midoriya izuku izuku midoriya one for all mha deku bhna boku no hero acedamia
