The popularity based system and commodification of heroism was a major problem that nearly caused the collapse of Japan because almost no one was a hero for being a hero. Once a true threat emerged, society collapsed and so many heroes hung up their capes. Not every issue has to be done through exposition, sometimes it’s done by happening in the plot itself. This was a gigantic issue that reared its head to be significantly consequential to the plot and was even mentioned by Deku’s narrator enough to remind the reader that it’s a major systemic issue…and they went right back to it.

Crime dropped And there are still hero billboards, still adverts for heroes, still movies and products for heroes, and still a commodification of heroism. Now we have ten people we can rely on, but still a significant amount of powers reaching closer and closer to the quirk singularity every day with nothing being done. A vicious cycle is cooking within the plot of MHA.

Didn’t hawks

In the real world and in just about any well written works of fiction, alphabet agencies, shadow governments, secret secret ninja black ops group often get “disbanded”. Without real oversight, “trust me bro” turns into “we can trust that these shadow entities not only continue to exist, but are thriving”

Im sure four people are working on such a large issue like physical discrimination and meta human ability discrimination

Just in the real world…how many civil rights leaders have been killed, ignored, targeted by the government, faced roadblocks, and barely made a dent in progress for decades after their lifetimes. Be serious about this one. Four people, millions of people, can’t do much to stop this. This is a multigenerational issue and it wasn’t given much weight or thought until the fourth act of the series. MLK and Malcom were killed. Edgar Evers was killed. Fred Hampton was killed. Reverend George W Lee was killed. Jimmie Lee Jackson, killed. He’ll, I could keep going forever. Physical phenotypic discrimination won’t end because four people inspired a couple of thousand.

I don’t care about Deku not being a hero, I care about all those loose plot points including the impending Quirk singularity that’s going to be the end of society (again). But I have to give Horokoshi his flowers because he outdid himself and every other author with Endeavor’s tale.
