If you were paying extra close attention to the news earlier this week, you might have seen a small article sighting damages done to a locally owned pharmacy in Tokyo. This article would have told you the owners are heart-broken, but determined to rebuild. In the footnotes, you might have seen the exact number of hundreds of thousands of yen it will take to rebuild. In the references, you might have clicked on a link that referenced the villains involved in the incident.
Nowhere on that page, or any other official source, would it tell you that *Endeavor* was the reason behind the massive damages caused not only to the pharmacy, but to several other adjacent businesses.
- endeavor used too much force
- this is becoming common place, and heroes arent being made to take responsibility for their actions. possibly, aren't even made aware there's a problem with their actions.
- this is because heroes aren't just helpers anymore. They're celebrities. thats bad bc not only does the law not hold heroes accountable, the people would rally against it.
-idk, probably more points
The letter of the law prevents heroes from taking responsibility for 70-80% of their actions. In someways this is good: they need to be able to work around the law to help keep it. But should heroes be above all laws? Should heroes be left unchecked until they become dangerously unstable megalomaniacs, ego inflated with power, their name alone enough to get them out of situations anyone else would go to jail for? Should they be allowed to walk away from millions worth of property damage in yen, like Endeavor was earlier this week?
I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
