>>4772Yeah, if I recall correctly, a whole century's meant to've passed since the advent of quirks.
And this caused mass insurrection on a global scale, which the advent of superpowers realistically should do.
But then with that fundamental correct setup, the author gets everything else so wrong.
After a whole century, with quirks having finally proliferated through most of the world's population, the world just fucking returns to the exact same Liberal status quo of a century ago.
The same status quo which couldn't handle the fucking quirks originally!
The same status quo whose faults constantly show, and of course causes the problems of the series that, as previously remarked, are never actually resolved.
Even the same modern status quo issue of Japan's shrinking population is present in a supposedly totally changed world,
as I seem to recall Gran Torino mentioning it to Midoriya when he goes out to learn from him
So the very foundational ideas of this fictional world suffer from the same issues as every plot in it.
A set up that is so perfect for commentary, that it's as if it's been so totally squandered intentionally.
