Let me rephrase then. Everyone just ran away and left Izuku to be crushed. He certainly wasn't making it out of there alive at the rate he was going. To top it all off, everyone else thought he was crap, so they knew he wouldn't be able to survive that robot.

I guess I'm too jaded with shounen and automatically cringe when tropes are repeated carbon copy. I generally prefer shows that subvert the tropes or make fun of them at the very least. That isn't to say that this show is bad. It's just not my thing anymore, at least at this point. I'm still hopeful it'll surprise me later. Preferably with more lolis and waki.
