I Should Make A Who Is Most Likely To Kill Hawks List - Tumblr Posts
I didn’t get you wrong, that was mostly me gushing over the realisticly slow writing of a charcter arc, because I am so used to seeing arcs that are just magically resolved and everything is learned in a minute and this is more grounded of a way an actual human being would react to: too much news at the same time and inconsistent information on top of being involved in the whole society.
Which is also as you said probably the last issue to be resolved, because it takes a lot of time to unlearn all that you were told is true and good, even though it isn’t.
Yeah the image of Deku alongside Hawks is strange, considering their points are very contridicting. With Deku legit wanting to save EVERYONE and Hakws deciding who is worth saving and who isn’t and specifically killing when his version of “saving” isn’t wanted.
To me it seems strange that Deku would work with Hawks if he had seen the video evidence. BUT the hero comission probaly did their very best to get rid of the twice kill video asap. Because even right now it would be off if Deku would be working with a guy who pulled a sword through a man, while he was both running away and with his back to him.
So I’d say he probably knows that Hawks “had” to kill someone from the bs from the official panel, but not what actually happend.
But I do think killing is not on Hawks agenda now, because that would lead to bad press for him and the comission and is more reseved to the LoV, specifically Dabi (and in theory Tomura, who’d definitly kill him for Twice) when it comes to that point, so he can justify it in front of the world again.
Okay but really, this here? This seems like such a weird development for Izuku considering the new direction his character is headed.
And I’m mostly not even talking about Endeavor this time; because as troublesome as it is that heroes keep helping him instead of holding him accountable for any of the things he’s done, we’ve no reason to think he’d do anything that bad right now besides maybe not go along with Deku’s villain saving plan. Plus they have already worked together before so this isn’t surprising.
No; I’m talking about Deku, who is trying to reason with/save notorious villain Shigaraki and specifically not kill him, working with notorious villain killer Hawks, a man who in all possibility (and if he has his quirk back by then) would go for the kill against Shigaraki without hesitation.
(Or possibly worse, threaten Shigaraki’s life to surrender and go to jail for life & then immediately going for the kill when he refuses; thus allowing his fans to claim “see, he doesn’t want to be saved so he needs to die” as though not responding to threats against your life is equivalent to not wanting to better yourself.)
That’s just seems like supremely bad planning on his part, and really highlights to me how he still doesn’t really seem to think heroes and the society they represent can do any wrong. I guess in retrospect that major character flaw of his, the toxic hero worship, hasn’t really been addressed at all yet, has it?
I think scrubbing wasn’t mycintital take on the comission, more of a whenever we see - we delete thing, but after I re-read some chapters, you are right it is unlikely. But because it is a video of someone getting killed social media will most likely delete it right away anyways, so you could still find it, but not without searching and because of your mentioned naivete from Deku he’d believe Hawks words on it.
He was in the hospital for a while and a comatose state for a bit, which would have given the social medias time to take down most of that, which would have left sides that allow murder clips on going and I don’t think Deku would use those wihout rason.
And as you mentioned Deku has Hawks words on this and believes them, so he has no reason to look it up. And I thought of this Jeanist moment:
This is obviously about Toya/Dabi, but we can see the mindset of someone in the system and an adult, not a 16 year old, where a bit naivete is normal.
The way Jeanist obviously doesn’t get the connecting between Dabi saying he was horribly abused and Toya becoming Dabi a man who wants the hero society gone because heros get away with everything because he is so deep into the system it doesn’t even seem an option is a mindset after both living and working in the system.
Which i think is also Dekus sort of reaction of:” this can’t be it. Hawks had to have a good reason to kill Twice. He probably was that dangerous to be left no other option for Hawks. He probably tried his best, but then Dabi attacked him. Yada yada yada.”
