Give Yuji's cursed gauntlets an actual ability or interpretation

Yuji pulled up to Shinjuku with these cool monster looking arms that made his design look so cool and it turned out they were just useless gauntlets that hide his severed finger. That was really lame so im wondering what Gege couldve one

I'll go first. I think the gauntlets coudlve absorbed blood from opponents to strengthen its physical ability and also release to perform supernova from the fist maybe

All Might is a very good interpretation of "the strongest" trope

Mha has faced very excessive criticism over the years that some people have forgotten the good aspects of its writing, I think all might remains the most flawlessly written character in the series. He is the strongest hero, which is a popular trope right now, and all might makes it very interesting because he perpetuates a marginalized society while still being a 100% good guy. Hes also a good take on "superman" too, he really took the best plot elements of Clark's character that were ignored in mainstream media for a very long time.

The fatal flaw of All might is so simple its genius: he was too good at his job, and it ruined a generation. 

He was an overachiever who took care of everything so society couldnt fill the role when he was gone. All might, inadvertently, had swept every systematic problem under the rug with an illusion of peace. This breeds the laziness and vanity among "fake" heroes who focused on showboating, which eventually made Stain himself. He also fostered the mentality that "someone else will do it", and this led to Shigaraki being abandoned and ignored on the streets because not one person had reached out.

 

In any case, people only respected the image of All Might. He sold the idea that you could just punch everything bad away until it was better, but this does not address the root causes that led to the majority of crime. They just labelled these people into "villains" for their own narrative

Most importantly when he got horrifically maimed and injured for life, all might didnt rest or step it back a notch. He put on a smile, and suffered in silence, the weight of the world on his shoulders. Nobody was prepared when he had officially fallen. Who would've even expected it? If all Might had actually been realistic with the hero society, then people would've had time to adjust and work harder before it was too late. Theyd probably be forced to think critically about the crime problem, forming real solutions

Cant forget his relationship with Midoriya too. All might lit a fire in that boy, and encouraged him to rush into danger at the cost of his own body. Remember, he literally yells his catchphrases whenever he breaks his own arms. Midoriya had very deep self-worth issues that made him abuse the powers all might gave him, he became reckless, and self destructive, he was just a child, but all might rewarded him, sending Izuku down a very similar fate.

Mha is a story about accepting help & support. Perhaps things couldve been executed more cleanly but Izuku had to rely on the prescene of his friends to gain confidence as a hero, and he lost sight of that in the city apocalypse arc until they basically confronted him in an intervention to snap him out of it. The story places a big empathsis on the next generation, and the relationship between all might/Deku is the core of the story. They are parallels that foil eachother. All might was at his most cynical and depressed state when he had met Midoriya, and their bravery inspired him so much that he accidentally recreated the same cycle because Midoriya reminded him of himself.

All might is the BEST interpretation of "the strongest"

What are your favorite explaination of supernatural creatures?

Its not uncommon for power systems to include various creaturee through its logics & mechanics as a source of conflict to give characters to fight. Theres been many different interpretations too, such as curses from JJK that are manifested from negative emotions. Im just wondering how other series approach this idea

There are many magic systems that have complex layers of mechanics and logic that sustain it, but I think its really interesting when you need a certain mindset to truly master magic. A good example is ATLA, where benders use martial arts to move & think like the elements while drawing inspiration from how theyre all interconnected. Every style reflects a different philosophy to manipulate the forces of nature, embodied by ancestral/cultural heritage that grants spirtual power. Another one is JJK that rewards recklessness, sacrifice and taking risks when you must trust your instincts.

Personally in my magic system, all abilities are driven by a sense of vengeance and unleashing consequences onto the world that reflect ones will & rewriting fate
