The Title is a spoiler.

Looks like McGruff the Crime Dog got promoted to police chief. Good for him.

The real villain was obviously the vile Hand Crusher.

And they're all being funneled into the League of Villains - led by a manchild who we already know will pay lip service to anti-establishment rhetoric to justify his real motive to destroy whatever he wants! Yayyyyyyy


Holy crap, I thought I was the only one seeing that. Aside from the whole murder thing (as far as we know, anyways), it's funny how similar this is.

Screw the people who aren't caught up or haven't watched it yet, am I right? Hahahaha (seriously though, is making a spoilerless title really so hard?)

Still hate the formatting of this segment, but the content is starting to grow on me. Especially if we get more discussions of social commentary in MHA. Laughing Not sure why Himiko's boring "blood thirsty high school girl" cliche gets praised heaped on it but Dabi's edgy try-hard stitched-burn-scars thing gets laughed at when both characters have equally embarrassing designs imo. Himiko is a boring character to her core and only Horikoshi's skill at using his characters makes her tolerable at all; Dabi seems to at least have something interesting going on, though that may at least partially be because he's still a pretty mysterious character even in the manga, while having still been allowed to be ominously threatening the few times he's been on screen.

Anyway, I guess my grumbling boils down to "stop rewarding boring tropes with squees 2k17" Laughing

Is the title that bad of a spoiler? Even if you haven't seen the episode yet, what did you think was going to happen with Stain that "he gets captured" is a shocker?

I've seen it myself, just trying to help out others. For a site such as ANN, who upholds itself as extremely official and professional, its weird for them to give away really clear and relevant later plot details in a headline. I would expect this kind of thing from lower tier sites. [s]And while I realize that this is a link to an off site article, someone still needs to edit it.[/s]Whoops, and here I was, giving ANN the benefit of the doubt. I thought it was an article on that Anime-Now site. (here I am getting triple whammied, I can't believe you can't strikethrough here. Just pretend thats what the [s] nonsense is.)
And to answer your question, spoiler[for anyone thats behind or in the middle of that arc, knowing he gets captured as the outcome is most definitely a spoiler. He could have gotten away or been killed; two extremely unknown outcomes to someone who hasn't finished the arc yet.]
*spoilering just in case, so I don't get retroactively yelled at by someone.
Also you have to realize, if we don't make the staff more vigilant of this now, the same thing is going to happen again in the future for who knows what else, screwing someone else over. Maybe even you!

It's one of my favorites, actually. You must not be capable of anything but bland praise for the shows you like.

Gotta agree with fantaselion and whitesox123. Could you please not put spoilers in the heading? I really enjoyed the first season, and I've been holding off watching the rest until it's completely released, and to have it spoiled makes me very upset. Could you please not put spoilers in the heading anymore, please?

Point taken! Sometimes it can be tough distancing myself from what I already know about a series, so it's hard to guess how it impacts others who aren't caught up/haven't read the manga/etc. I'm also personally pretty chill about spoilers, but I know I could stand to be more sensitive about how they're a big deal for other people.

So basically they made this week's TWIA just to take the obligatory virtue-signaling jab at le evil orange man.

But it feels like a stretch to me. You see, an openly violent anti-law enforcement (heroes) movement spawned by a murderous insane radical who killed members of said law enforcement seems to me a lot more akin to that one group who was directly inspired by Assata Shakur. What was its name again? Hmmm.... It's on the tip of my tongue.
