Discussion of MHA 7x4 (Patreon)

To everyone commenting that they are upset we didn’t immidietely forgive Aoyama for selling out his classmates at least 3 times, I’d ask you the difference between what Reiner did and what Aoyama did, and why Reiner clearly deserved to be hated at the time of his reveal while Aoyama is expected to be forgiven instantaneously.

In both circumstances, their parents pressured them as children to do horrible things at the threat of some greater power (Marleyans/All For One), and they both did so while lying the whole time to their friends. When we got the full picture on both of them, it was clear that it’s more Marley, the parents, and AFO fault, but even knowing that you still have to hold them accountable A LITTLE BIT for what they did.

A difference you may say is “Reiner killed people and Aoyama never killed people directly”. What id say to that is, if this show had a tone similar to JJK or AOT, Aizawa would have been killed by the Nomu in season 1, Deku very well could have died to Muscular, and Allmight could have died fighting AFO, not to mention the students that easily could have died in all these circumstances and the people that did die in Kamino.

The point I’m making is that just because Aoyama happened to not have these people killed doesnt mean we should treat him as if he didn’t put them in a situation where they easily could have died, just like the people that died due to Reiner.

We very well could forgive him in the next few episodes, but honestly if we had said in the reaction “we don’t blame you at all Aoyama you have nothing to be sorry for,” I think that shows a lack of comprehension for what the show is trying to say with this.

I believe we are meant to be pissed at him, realize that it’s mainly the parents and AFO fault, and, after a brief period being pretty upset that he sold out his friends several times, ultimately forgive him because we need him to help us be a hero moving forward, showing that no one is beyond saving and becoming a hero.

To conclude, we were pissed during this episode and the last, but we havnt given up on him. Much like the fact that they are still putting him in jail even if they want to forgive him, we are putting him in our mental jail until he proves that he can stop betraying everyone.

Ok that was a yap session but I thought this would be better than replying to all the comments haha.

(Again, the parents are 40% to blame, AFO is 50%, and Aoyama is 10% in our heads)
