I’m going to explain why Deku’s crying and bashful personality works really well as a counterbalance to his position as a protagonist
I for one really like the fact that deku is a bit of an emotional MC, I don’t mind the crying because it a a humanizing feature or Deku’s character that encapsulates his insecurities that he’s often plagued with EVEN with the great power that he has. It shows that deku...
Isn’t a perfect character it shows that deku is still a flawed character, it shows that deku is still a child with a severe reticence at drawing attention to himself. Deku has physical limitations he needs to overcome sure, but beyond that he has emotional-psychological...
Drawbacks that keeps him from overcoming what he fears most. Deku is more than cognizant of his inhibitions and in his quest to overcome it he...on more than one occasion makes rash decisions he wouldn’t normally make so he doesn’t have to be bothered with his inability to...
Move past his bashfulness, but this often leads to negative consequences that puts deku in a position that is worse than what he intended the desired outcome to be(this very character trait is noted by deku in his soliloquy about bakugo). So deku is trapped in this duality...
Of moving beyond his vanity in order to do what he wants most to save others, but not make rash decisions that would jeopardize the ones he’s trying to save and should find a compassionate middle ground between those two.
However there have been instances in which deku was able to do exactly that when faced with the immediate threat of danger, most notable example I can think of was his fight against muscular
So I’m really curious as to why people hate the fact that deku “cries too much” but conveniently leave out instances of when deku takes the initiative and is more than willing to throw away his own life just to increase the chances one person survives.
Anyways Deku is a great MC might write another thread on him one day
