The railing against Froppy is weird considering the only reason almost the entire class didn't get expelled is because of what happened with All Might.

She had a really good reason not to like what they were doing, it was putting their entire futures at risk. Granted she probably didn't know that specifically was going to happen but she knew there'd be consequences.

Froppy's speech was like doing a Choose Your Own Adventure and choosing not to have an adventure.

I mean, when the adventure is "Go into the stronghold of a bunch of villains we were only barely able to hold off before until the strongest man in the country could step in," you kinda see the point.

I think the problem people have with the whole thing is that it's another one of those instances where Deku (and company, this time) did the right thing - the heroic thing - even though everyone who has a duty to their well being has to view it as wrong. The whole thing is confusing because there's a dichotomous message to it.

So yeah, Froppy has a legitimate grievance, but in light of what actually happened, it winds up coming across as confused and complicated (and in a shounen context, anti-cool stuff). The kids helped save Bakugo, no one got expelled, at the end of the day everything worked out from a pragmatic point of view (All Might aside), while she's upset about what could have gone wrong and how she didn't do enough to stop it. If something had gone wrong she'd regret not having done more to prevent it. And also what could go wrong in the future if they let their decisions be informed by the lucky breaks they caught this time.

People are a bit tough on that moment because it can come across a bit like "Hey there Froppy it looks like you have something to say!" and then it's just kind of muddled negativity, even if it's well-meaning and in-character.

It's also worth pointing out that Deku and Co would have absolutely done something retarded if not for Iida and Momo. Don't get me wrong, Momo was dead set against them fighting as well, but I just don't know if the crew would have held up to that if Iida hadn't been there to lock their shonen instincts the gently caress down. Froppy had a legitimate grievance, as only two of the students who left on that secret trip had the right mindset from the get-go. Just two.

You can stop this confusion by just remembering that Shouji is the really cool one and has the best design in the class.

It's interesting that apparently All Might never had anything like the Sports Festival incident or this.

One wonders what the "Singularity" is? The point when OFA became strong enough to destroy AFO?

It's weird that there's no apparent significance to the order the successors are standing in. I also wonder why those two are in shadow - just unfinalized designs? None of the other holders should be currently alive except Toshinori, right?

Also: wanna know more about Hellboy

Depends, if they died fighting AFO, then no. But OFA doesn't sap your lifespan or anything like that. If they managed to pass it on and hide away, they'd still be alive.

Gentle was a lesson on what happens when you go against the rules and don't have protagonist armor so Tsuyu was right to be worried especially after Eraserhead let them know they basically were supposed to all be expelled. It was All Might getting depowered that saved them all, not their successful rescue like with Stain.

She also didn't actually narc anyone out either.

Depends on the order. If they were the 7th, they might be as old as Gran Torino at this point.

Someone just suggested the idea that Deku may be gaining access to the other quirks of previous OFA users.

I’m pretty sure the one that’s missing is All Might because hey, he’s not dead :v:

Which is going to make it real heartwrenching when Deku does another mindscape trip and sees him start to materialize just as he’s leaving
