my allegiance to brutally murdering a main character may be shifting from Bakugou to Midoriya. but honestly I’m at this point where I’m like “oh, Midoriya wants to martyr himself during the dark hero arc? cool. I’ll help”

because he’s just insufferable. and he starts the series as just as much of an empty shell as Shigaraki is. like — at first appearance, Shigaraki speaks like a semi-crazed vessel for All For One’s talking points. There are a couple flashes of his own humanity, but they’re easy to miss. but Midoriya is the same way, except the talking points he spouts are All Might’s (and Bakugou’s.) Midoriya has very little personality of his own. Everything he is has been shaped by his blind idealism and devotion to the heroic ideal, to the point that when his dream of being a hero has been temporarily crushed, he’s completely hollow. there’s nothing else in there. he can’t even fathom a world where his hero obsession doesn’t drive him.

what triggers Midoriya’s development into sort of a person is the same thing as what triggers Shigaraki — connection to other people, outside the context of their respective hero or groomer/abuser. the degree to which this changes them really varies, though. Midoriya’s urge to lie to his friends, to isolate from them, and to ineffectually throw himself on the sword rules the PLF and Dark Hero arcs. Meanwhile, Shigaraki’s devotion to his allies becomes the backbone of his ideology, such as it is. his goal isn’t to be the number one villain — it’s to be a hero for the villains. I’d argue that at the end of the series, the character who’s motivated by selfishness and ego is Midoriya, not the guy Midoriya murders in the name of justice.

anyway, Midoriya should have martyred himself harder. it would have been less morally bankrupt than his supposed happy ending.
