theyre idiots your honor
it's a pretty wild move for horikoshi to, mid-chapter, change the story from one of a boy who punches a lot in response to society's deepset flaws and those victimised by it, to instead featuring gentle seeing muscular and going "hey......you don't have to be evil. there is a better way" only for muscular to go "what no way i love evil so much i'm finding someone to kill right now". and they just keep going back and forth like that until the they fall in love. this is a romcom. and the rest of the manga.
seriously what did they put in bnha to make all the villains so interesting and dynamic and unique from each other while still contributing to a common thematic thread meanwhile in the background all the heroes are just slowly melting into the same bland blob. it's insane and dangerous.
