starting to make ocs again after a millenia

honestly my favorite part about the whole endeavor “atonement” arc is that we as the audience KNOW that there’s nothing he can do to properly atone for the things he’s done to his family.

the scars from endeavor’s abuse will forever be ingrained in the todorokis, no matter how hard they try to move on from it (and not everyone wants to move on, either). we’re constantly hit with reminders of endeavor’s actions throughout the story- heck, even right in the middle of his whole “atonement” arc, we get another flashback that goes more in depth on the abuse and neglect that the family has suffered because of him. we even get more details on how his marriage with rei began, along with the buildup that lead to rei’s horrible mental state. it’s like although endeavor is trying to correct himself, the show doesn’t want us to forget about the things he has done, and i can appreciate that. i’m sure even endeavor is aware that no matter how hard he tries, there’s not much he can do to fix the past.

him trying to correct himself after becoming the number one hero is kind of the point, because there’s nothing else left to distract him from the weight of his actions. there is no more all might for him to chase, and there’s really no point in trying to become the next symbol of peace because of the impossibly high standards that were left behind in all might’s place. now all endeavor can do is look back and see all the damage that he’s caused, all in exchange for some dream that he will never be able to fulfill.

its ironic, really. he’s been trying for decades to match all might’s power, but is left powerless when it comes to mending his relationship with his family. the past can never go away, and all he can really do is make sure it doesn’t happen again.

is this a cultural reference to the cult film 'requiem for a dream' directed by darren aronofsky???

oh they could never make me hate you daeho
