Toga was neither born nor made a villain, she clearly chose to be evil and it's entirely her responsibility, much as Endeavor is responsible for his own acts, not the pressure that society put on him. People who excuse her are no better than those who excuse everything Endeavor did to his family; both types of people reveal something horrible about themselves.

@John Tucker. This is so short sighted. By your logic Twice should be held responsible for his bloody crimes. He never wanted to be a villain but after facing rejection, loneliness and a mental break down he felt he had no other choice.
Look I am not condoning her actions but Toga felt isolated and alone because her family forced her to adapt a persona that is 'acceptable' in society. They denied her the chance to properly understand her quirk and herself. Maybe try and understand her and her motives instead of just blindly condeming her. Enji saw the error of his ways and is trying to make amends or did you miss that part during your rant? |

Seems that Endeavor and Twice are always compared wherever I go.

Huh. I guess my finding Toga's backstory -- and power-up -- kind of unbelievably goofy more than moving is unusual.
I do wish Curious hadn't gotten killed off so quickly; she had a neat, distinctive character design and personality, and the showed seemed to be putting in some effort to try to build up the main MLA figures as important antagonists-for-the-antagonists. Seems a shame to off her ~30 minutes after introducing her. That's kind of how I feel about this arc as a whole so far, though, I think. Like.. if the MLA is as massive, important, and long-lived a movement as the show is telling us, how is this the first time we've seen them be anything more than a distant whisper? The MLA feels like the kind of organization we should have encountered in small-and-large ways throughout all seasons of MHA, to properly show us how deep their roots are and wide their influence is. Instead, it feels like the narrative just remembered that the MLA existed when it needed a storytelling fulcrum to help propel the League with. |
