Redestro - The WASTED Villain?

so... many.... doofenschmirtz comments....

Why does everyone say that he’s the Joker? He’s obviously Norman Osborn

Re-Destro is basically Dr.Doofenshmirtz if Dr.Doofenshmirtz was competent.

Why does so many people hate Redestro? I think they can't understand that not every villain would go as far as die fighting. I absolutely loved him when he first appeared and still do.

You DARE have even a single sliver of a negative thought about the unquestionably glorious transcendence of anime Doofenshmirtz?

I think I heard someone say it best "It's not that people don't like a certain character or arc in MHA, they just are disappointed the story didn't end up as they imagined or predicted." To me if you cannot tell which way a character is going to turn out, then they will keep the reader invested (so long as their actions are rationale or justified by their personality)

Didn't even know anyone disliked Re-Destro

"A character doesn't have to be the focus every single week to remain relevant." SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE DEKU-HATERS IN THE BACK.

I really feel bad for Doofesmirtz for being wasted villian

That Overhaul comparison actually blew my mind. It's unfortunate that a video like this is necessary, but it's definitely true that peoples attitude towards discussing this series has been growing cynical. Appreciate the video clearing things up!

The Dr. Doofenshmirtz lore is deeper than I thought

Redsetro only loss because the meta liberation army salute is them holding up a L to their face.

Something that our lovely Ocean Man touched on, Redestro's power is completely defined by his rage, anger, and sadness over what he views as a broken system governing quirks. Because of this, without Shigaraki, Redestro would have never had the power to fulfill his dream, nor the ability to experience it. Without the broken system to rebel against, Redestro would be no stronger than a quirkless man. The closer his dream came to fruition, the less power he would have to make it a reality. And even if his dream did become reality, he would never be able to use his quirk to its fullest without restriction like his family fought for generations to do. He could only ever be powerless in his utopia for the powerful, or powerful in the world where the powerful are restrained. Sure, normal stress might make him slightly more powerful than the average Joe, but the people of the MLA don't want to be average or slightly above average.

Love the parallel between Overhaul/Deku and Shiggy/ReDestro

I just wanted to see more of him when the Doofenshmirtz glow up meme took hold.

What I liked about redestro was that he was suppose to be the symbol of freedom and he embraced it but he never experienced freedom. In one of the chapters they show some glimpse of his past and about how followers of destro seeked out redestro and sort of forced this role onto him. When fighting shigaraki I feel like shigaraki was the first person to make redestro feel liberated from his role in a symbolic way. Redestro hated shigaraki because he simply wanted to destroy and doesn't create anything but when shigaraki was destroying the liberation army it's like the weight of responsibility on redestro's shoulder is being taken away. Not saying that redestro hated the liberation army but just looking at redestro's character i get the feeling that he was extremely stressed about not being able to fill the role destro was able to. I want to see more from redestro because he's not really an evil character. I remember my history teacher asks our class a question and it was something along the line of "what is the difference between a revolutionist and a terrorist." and the answer he told us is that there is no difference but the victor is the one who decides wether one is a revolutionist or terrorist.

13:29 Anyone else remember when people predicted Bakugo to join the LoV because in Naruto Sasuke joined Orochimaru and then claimed it was poor writing that he didn't?

Stain and Overhaul: Get written out of the manga after one arc ( fans are okay about it) Re Destro: Gets to continue on the story after his main arc is over (Fans think he was wasted) what the hell xD

Imagine if destro had even 10% of doof's childhood

LETS GOOOOOOOOO TALK TO THEM OCEAN MAN
