Or Maybe the Villains were too strong to begin with?
Yeah, they were too strong. Considering how much trust society has in heroes, heroes should have been able to keep up with them.
It makes no sense to blame this on Heroes. They didn't intentionally stop doing their best to let Villains amputate n kill them. Instead they prepared in advance, did their best and this is the result, barely winning is if that must be.
(This is also why All Might importance was so big in the series, and only OFA is the solution to thiz.)
It makes perfect sense to blame the heroes for this. They failed to take out the villains, and their rash actions caused the destruction left in the wake of the villains.
This mission was about proving the worth of this hero saturated society, and they proved that they weren't up to the task.
Plus, Heroes already thiz messed up rn, they need the public support the most right now. But the instead folks will believe few villains that are main cause of everything that happened to put all the blame the Heroes for it? Why? Because people have human tendency to easily put blame on others and Heroes are going to be crux of this despite risking their lifes.
The heroes tried their best, but they still failed. It makes perfect sense for public trust in them to decline since they failed to save so many lives.
So ofcrs Heroes will consider resigning. This much destruction isn't what they signed up for (not all Heroes can face strong Villains)
and get distrusted by public on top of that. In fact it might even lead to some injured Heroes turning bad like we usually saw in other Tv series.
They're considering resigning, not because the villains were too strong, but because they arguably made a situation worse, and were totally powerless. Its an emotionally stressful job.
Heroes today are a shadow of former ones. They barely had to fight anyone scary as AFO, High Ends and Giganto. At best they fought street level thugs and in their mind this was to be the same.
Combined with the fact heroes are on every corner and you always have top 10 to do heavy lifting you loose the sense of danger
That's not really the case though?
Sure, there aren't threats like AFO around, but they still deal with plenty of threats. Also, heroes below the top 10 do plenty of serious work.
Fat Gum is ranked something like 53, and his an incredibly competent hero and combatant. Mt Lady is ranked 23 and is also incredibly capable. Aisawa was able to go toe to toe as a support fighter against high end Nomu, and his barely in the ratings.
