AU where everything is the same except All Might is a villain would be incredibly entertaining if you consider nothing would change about Izuku’s heart deep admiration.
Mind you, it’s not a case of delusion. Just a classic example of how bad the Midoriya obliviousness can get.
He fully believes All Might is a hero misinterpreted by the media. No, your honor, that city and that dead villain were like that when he got there.
Bakugou pinches his cheeks and he’s shaking like a tiny, angry dog. “I’m this fucking close. THAT MOTHERFUCKER PUT 20 HEROES IN THE HOSPITAL!”
“If bad! Why give me autograph?!”
“I’m blowing us both up I swear to god.”
To be fair, All Might (All Smite?) does evacuate every area before a battle, is nice to retail workers, and refuses to fight LITERAL TEENAGERS. Homelander could never.
“Alright, young Midoriya, after a 6 months of grueling and slightly unsafe training, you’re finally ready. You’re prepared to be the number one villain!”
“…VILLAIN?!” Izuku screeches, expression sinking with dread, “You were training me to be a villain?!”
Toshinori wants to rip his hair out. “What did you think I was training you for, you half boiled broccoli?!”
“To be a hero like you!”
“WHAT THE FUCK?!”
Izuku, with the biggest, saddest, wettest eyes in the world looks up to Toshi, and Jesus, he understands Nana. “But I love you. You can’t be bad.”
“…Of course I’m not bad. This was just another mere test, my boy! And you passed, as expected.“
He’s gonna suffer through the villain redemption program if it means Izuku keeps smiling like that.
“Alright, fuckmuppets, let’s get this over with.”
Mic is enraged, “YOU PUT MY HUSBAND IN THE HOSPITAL?”
“Womp womp. Do you prefer morgue?”
Bakugou almost rips off the door to the teacher’s office, “YOU MADE MY BOYFRIEND EAT YOUR HAIR?”
God, He hates redemption arcs.
