These are way better when Jacki isn’t available.
She doesn’t watch the episodes so her criticisms are useless. She hasn’t had a valid criticism about this show in ten weeks. Get someone who watches the damn show to review it. There are valid criticisms. Jacki has none though. [insult removed -t] Moderator Edit: Your second post was removed for being trollish with childish insults towards the reviewer.

So, Jacki does watch the show. She has her opinions on the show. Right now you haven't given an example of how her criticisms are "useless," so the only thing I can assume is that you don't agree with her opinions, and that's not the same as "useless."
Sorry you don't like her opinions. It's why we have a varied cast with three different people, who are each going to come at the show from a different angle. Hopefully most of our audience likes all three hosts, but certainly some people won't agree with Jacki's opinions, some people won't like Lynzee's and some people won't like AJ's. If on the other hand, you have specific criticism you want to share about what you don't like about Jacki's opinions, I'm sure the team would appreciate constructive criticism and might even make changes if they see your point. -t |

I agree with both Lynzee and Jacki (at least, I think they both said this) that the latest episode felt awfully busy. A lot of good content, but some of it was heavy and important enough to really deserve its own space to breathe; we've had quite a bit of fluffy filler-ish content over the past season or two -- would've been nice to cut some of that to make room for more of this.
I'm not sure how I feel about the Gigantomachia villains-training arc yet. I don't think there's anything fundamentally bad about it as an idea, but them mostly fighting off-screen so far feels kind of unfulfilling to me, and, while I appreciate that the narrative seems to want to show Shigaraki as a complete person & kind of dual to Midoriya/Bakugo in some sense, the League almost feels too buddy-buddy to me. Too much Shigaraki lovin' his allies enough to reassure Toga that there's always room for their ambitions, not enough evil vibes. The pre-Shigaraki AFO holdovers, like the good Dr. Strangelove, are a lot more compellingly villainous still. I guess maybe that's part of the point, if this is where Shigaraki really ascends to be the villain-est of the villains, or something. I guess I'll withhold judgment for now, but.. I suppose I sort want the villains' "bonds", if they're meant to be perverse mirrors of the protagonists' bonds, to be more clearly deranged? The individual villains are sick, obviously, but they honestly just seem like really good pals, with genuine, almost healthy friendships, which is a bit too faithful a mirror of the protagonists' relationships. Heck, they actually seem like better friends than Bakugo and Midoriya.. The Meta-Liberation army's introduction definitely seems to mostly convolute the narrative flow, and not in a great way. Didn't realize content had been rearranged; certainly feels like that would have flowed better after the 1A/1B fluff. |

It is actions that make people evil. You do evil things repeatably, you can be considered undeniably evil.
So as a generalization, yeah, the League of Villains are evil. As to each individual member, well that depends on their actions. Motivations are irrelevant, as they say, "The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions". |
