What is happening in here?
I feel like at least in the anime thread when ever elder todoroki shows we keep having this conversation even after we know he was abusive and forced and bought his wife to have kids

What is going on right now? Endeveror is without a doubt a shitty father, hell he is a horrible human being in general. He literally drove his wife into insanity by constantly abusing her.

Endeavor is a dick of a dad and person, but he can still redeem himself
You'd think the anime would make it even more obvious lol
mmmmmmmmm no?

I think the point of Endeavor is not all people who are clamored as heroes are good people. He may be good at saving people and he does his job well and that's to be respected, but he is a shitty person. He's the #2 hero and is good at being the hero role from a purely capable standpoint and he does fill the credentials of what their society considers a hero and does do good for the world in pursuing that, but lacks any sort of heroic tendencies outside of his work and is a really shitty person all around.
Which also gives some credit to the Hero Killer's anti-hero angle, since his character is of course a villain but he's doing it for a reason that's not completely wrong, but doesn't justify him or make his views correct either. He thinks there's heroes and villains who soil the reputation of both, and Endeavor is the very sort of person that the Hero Killer hates. People who aren't actually heroes deep down who are parading around as them, people using their powers for selfish reasons and to move themselves forward in society for self-gain, ego, reputation, glamour, personal vendettas, etc. Basically heroes who aren't really heroes, and villains who do evil things purely for their own selfish desires. He puts great importance on people taking on these roles who are working for something bigger than themselves.
I think Endeavor is an important character to have for some of the dilemmas of the show, he obviously has some pocket of love (or maybe more accurately respect) for his son above zero, but that hardly makes him a good father. He's a real shit dad.

Come on guys let's give Endeavor a chance.
Well, I remember someone kind of did awhile back, but yea...
I should've added a "this time"
Didn't some people sorta do that when the episode came out? *I mean she threw hot water on her son she's a bad as he is!"
Can Endeavor turn off those face/body flames? Can't imagine going to bed like that would be an ideal situation.

Yes, he can.

Best todo ship
He sort of respects his fathers' competence as a top hero. Endeavor still fathered multiple other children he ignores because they won't help him get one over All Might. He could realise his mistakes but who knows if he's ever gonna give an apology for anything.

Either Endeavour gets the biggest whack of karmic retribution possible, which itself would be supremely satisfying, or he *somehow* manages to redeem himself, which would also be satisfying.
He's hopefully set up for a big payoff one way or the other later. A really great heel character.

Both. At the same time, please. I'm not sure if he'd ever get enough panel time and/or be central part of some arc where the redeeming part would look natural and not fast-forwarded too much though. But I'd love to see it as he's one of the most interesting characters in the series.
I think most of his problematic behaviour comes from the old traditional (in a worst sense) family he grew up in and (most likely) the lack of mentor who'd steer him up the right path. I imagine if Bakugou had shitty parents and zero mentoring he'd have been almost as bad as an adult.

It's like the anime amped up the "affection" aspect of the relationships between the characters (or at least made them more expressive than in the manga).
#brodoroki
i have to say I preferred Deku saying "it's your power" rather than expressly mentioning the quirk
deku's va is defs good though. I feel like baku and todoroki's are a bit too adult-sounding
(i really wish they had just gotten zuko's VA for todoroki lol.)

Tsuyu's va is pretty cool too. A bit granny-sounding, but definitely fitting.

He's only with his wife because he chose her for her power. It took him 4 kids to get the right mix he wanted and now he's trying to dominate Todoroki's life, so he can live vicariously through him. He had his wife committed to protect one of his kids. The rest are failures that he doesn't even want todoroki to be around since, "They're nothing like him." Pretty sure he's a shitty father and husband.
The best thing he ever did for his other children was probably ignoring them, lol.
Boiling water. Hot enough to leave a huge permanent scar on his face.
As do I, but Zuko's VA is unionized & not in the Dallas area.

Zuko's VA for Todoroki, Tim Daly for All Might, Kevin Conroy for Eraserhead... There's some real missed opportunities no lie.
Also he has an incredibly distinct voice that sounds too deep even for his own body. Seriously that's his speaking voice.
...But the JP VA's isn't? I mean, his voice is considerably deeper than Bosco's, so...
Again, all unionized & outside of Dallas.

Hmm, maybe so. I guess i'm used to that sort of pitch used for teenage boys so it doesn't really stick out as much as Zuko's voice, heh.

I mean, to illustrate how bad Endeavor is, Todoroki's scar was given to him by the parent that actually loved him... because Endeavor was so bad.
Yeah but the mom was totally a butch right never mind he basically bought her and thinks of his family as property
I think the anime made the point more obvious with him shown to beat her
Yeah he's not Griffith, Light or Zamasu who are innocent angels

It's more that he's in that middle spot of being dickish enough that nobody likes him but not so awful that you get trolling points for pretending you approve of what he does.

Anyone can be redeemed if they recognize their errors and seek to change their ways. Endeavor is not at that point yet, of course.
