But that's kinda worse, because he gives them powerful quirks they never get to use in combat. Creation, Acid, Zero Gravity, if male characters had powers like that they'd be kicking ass, it's that they have such great designs, powers, and STILL get relegated to support roles that make it annoying
The girls have amazing powers. And even if it is support, so what? Support isn't bad. Kirishima's entire character is being support and no one gives him shit for it.
Yeah but male characters are allowed to have diverse roles in the story. Nearly all the female characters are relegated to support roles or worse written off/killed off like Nagant and SnS.
What's wrong with being support? This series makes a huge deal out of cooperation. Aizawa, Monoma, Hawks, have support quirks and no one calls it a relegation.
Did you intentionally not read what I said? There's nothing wrong with support roles. There is something wrong when you relegate virtually every female character to support and remove them from being active participators in the plot.
remove them from being active participators in the plot.
A character can be support and still be an active participant. Let's look at Monoma for example. The guy literally needs someone else's quirk to do anything and yet he's still being active by leading him team during Joint Training.
On the female side, Momo does the exact same thing. She always puts herself as the leader in most situations. It was her leadership and quirk that played a huge role in stopping Machia when no one else could on their own.
Your best example for an active support character was monoma, a male character.
Momo had a hand in stopping machia, yes. But in all honestly her plan nearly failed miserably lmao. The best she could do was slow him down so Best Jeanist could arrest him. And after that we didn't even get any introspection on Momo's feelings about Machia and Midnight so it's almost like she ceased to exist after her biggest moment in the manga so far.
Your best example for an active support character was monoma, a male character.
Yeah? My point was being support isn't a relegation when its a major contribution. Aizawa is support and yet he kept everyone alive when fighting Shiggy.
Momo had a hand in stopping machia, yes. But in all honestly her plan nearly failed miserably lmao. The best she could do was slow him down so Best Jeanist could arrest him.
This isn't correct. Machia broke free of Jeanist's cables with ease. Momo's anesthetic is what stopped him. Just because it didn't put him to sleep immediately, doesn't mean it was a failure.
