I don't give a fuck about him being straight but My Hero Academia's whole story was a huge disappointment. Literally acknowledging multiple times that the whole war is basically caused by the failures of society and then doing nothing but rebuilding the exact same failed society with no changes. Yeah good idea! I'm sure kids won't fall through the cracks all over again and become villains and eventually organise into a paramilitary that starts another war! Maybe we should make society less shit so kids with powers that could destroy the entire fucking planet don't fall through the cracks? No no let's just rebuild capitalism because it's perfect!

This is the heart of nearly every superhero story

Everything is fine, villains are bad for wanting change

I dunno, I'd say the stereotypical superhero story usually more has the villain wanting essentially a fascist dictatorship ie "ruling the world", no?

It's funny because when you boil it down, that's really only true of maybe two or three of the big supervillains

Magneto, who basically wants mutant Isreal and how correct he is to want that changes depending on the writer

Dr. Doom, who concocts most of his plans to cheese off Mr. Fantastic and is usually content with ruling Latveria

Count Nefaria, who is pretty much a c-list villain whose most famous act was killing Thunderhawk, another c-list character

Most other Marvel villains have plans that go beyond becoming a fascist dictator
