Man reading this as someone that has access to early magazine, the amount of toxicity and judgementalism in here, about an arc/ characters/villains etc. is just crazy. These headcanons and rants based on spoilers people have no context about, is just hurtful for my eyes to read and witness. The arc isnt over, the reason why a certain character is there or handled this way etc. Analyze the things and wait for the conclusion of those things. Same with pounds backstory, if we get confirmation that he is completly fine, go ahead and rant but im upset about how 95% of the fanbase screams pound is alive after last chapter even though he looked dead as heck.
Now if he is alive, people will go on and rant without looking what that means for his character, and if he is dead, people will say trash cover story etc. Hate this shit. Just enjoy the story, be excited about things to come and criticizes things you want after an (character) arc is completed.
No wonder providing spoilers is such an ungrateful job...
