*laughs in manga reader*

it's the villain deaths that perplex me so much. it wouldn't even be that bad if we had more kills for the other side. we lost midnight, who was the only hero we actually knew for a long while before her death. i am SHOCKED that hawks made it through, like, that mf should have died ages ago. similarly, i feel like if you were gonna kill dabi off, that should've spelled endeavor's death. either they both live or they dance in hell together, you know? tit for tat. also, all might is still alive? do i want all might to die? of course not but like. what was the point of that whole plot beat in the overhaul arc if he wasn't going to die in mortal combat in the final battle? im just rambling at this point. i do really like the trope of finding peace in death/dying free rather than living caged, but only when it's, yknow .... done well? why make midoriya's single driving point in the final battle saving shimura tenko if he just Dies and midoriya barely seems shaken up over it??? i am so confused about every narrative point. i can't believe there's only one chapter left. im also not looking forward to when the series wraps and people complaining about it are met with the inevitable "well, the series was always bad, you're just realizing it now!" there is so much to love in bnha, and a lot of great moments and there was just... a failure to pull it all together satisfactorily.
