As I mentioned on BBC Wiki: was it worth shifting his writing from Marvel to 13 Reasons Why?

To be honest I liked when All for One was PE and it made sense as he wants to be the most evilest and powerful villain in his world but no they had to change it and make him NPE

BNH is a pretty bad piece of work, honestly.

Giving afo that redeeming quality back at the last second kinda felt like ass

Some villains just don’t deserve sympathy.

I still think that's stupid and could've done a LOT better of that didn't spend too much time making him look as evil as possible.

@Powermonger2003 true

Honestly, on a meta level, how AFO ends realizing he failed to sever his humanity could be a fitting defeat, especiallysince it was a redeeming quality that wasnt exactly open and shut nit mitigating...

Had it been paced properly. The pacing was atrocious, and I'm not talking about just this but the actual final battle. AFO returns from the dead and then the story just zooms to the end when he gets bodied after just 5 chapters... that's it? The entire thing was too rushed to not feel anything but half-assed, and his defeat in general feeling very anticlimactic. Any and all momentum was pretty much killed. If the anime should adapt it, which I'm sure it will, they better do what AoT did and try slow the pacing to bake everything properly.

On the bright side, at least the story doesn't bother to forgive his actions despite this... as they should.

@The Pro-Wrestler Absolutely agree.

I feel like Horikoshi is one of those writers who genuinely don't know what to do with that one character they made.
