Before we begin and To do something interesting and how they react to this film with their knowledge of WW2, I have to figure out when Quirks first appear in the MHA.
Which means that for the first time for this fanfic, I have to do a headcanon.
Headcanon - when did Quirks first appear:
As far as I can find, when the canon timeline setting has been incredibly vague. They use technology that we currently have but also slight technology that we don't have, such as holograms recordings and support gear, which means MHA could take place in an alternative timeline of the current times or the distant future, I see people online thinking that it takes place in the 21st century to the 22nd century, but I will try to narrow down the possible time when quirks first appear.
In the episode when the Provisional License results are in and Izuku gets his License, it provided some evidence of when MHA takes place in, as the date when the licensed was issued was '20XX/XX/XX', meaning that MHA takes place around in the 21st century, that narrows it down from 2000 to 2099 of the series' present day. I then looked at age of the characters (especially All For One and 1-A students) and what the current generation of quirks is (Izuku being 5th generation since doctor guy from episode 1 said that Inko is 4th generation), by that definition, the current time of MHA takes place less than 125 years since the beginning of quirks. That means the glowing light baby must be born before 1974.
After that, I reached a dead end, so I have to make up my prediction for when it first appeared.
For this headcanon, I would say that quirks started appearing between the late 1940s to early 1950s, that would make MHA current time to take place around 2040 to 2070. This would match up with people hating quirks when they first appeared, the government struggling from the discovery and how All For One managed to take over Japan. Because it was during the aftermath of chaos, suffering and exhaustion, all that plus children gaining enhanced powers would equal hell to break loose.
I also like to believe that superhero comics like Marvel and DC are not mentioned in MHA despite Disney, Universal and Alien existing. What I like to think is that DC exists in the MHA comics and created the fictional heroes that we know that inspired pre-licensed vigilantes to fight villains who abuse their quirks, but when quirks appeared and heroes start to show up, DC stopped using their fictional heroes and start making comics based on real-life pro heroes since it's more marketable. as for Marvel, they weren't named Marvel until the 1960s in our world, I would say Marvel doesn't exist due to altering of times and unable to match against DC, Which is why the characters of MHA in my story never heard or seen Marvel and the MCU films wouldn't exist in their reality.
As for how they know about the war, well I would think that WW2 to them would be what WW1 is to us, both a markable and important part of history yet a forgetful one because a big event that happened right after, for this case, Quirks appeared just a few years after the second world war.
NOTE: keep in mind that this is MY headcanon towards MHA and I can be very wrong with this, but with the license date in the anime being clear evidence of the year and no mention of Marvel or DC, I am going to go to this route for this story, if you don't like it, then tough.
Okay, this would pretty much help you understand the character's perspective based on the universe they're from and I will try my best to use this headcanon throughout this fanfiction.
Let's start a film that plenty of you are waiting for, I am excited and happy to start doing this as much as you guys wanted to see it.
Let's begin.
NOTE (READ THIS): the Following story is following the film of 'Captain America: The First Avenger', to avoid copyright issues, there will not be any use or descriptions of shown scenes, just the character's reactions and descriptions of what they see, to understand this fanfiction, you must watch the movie and read this fanfiction at the same time, there will be timestamps to where they have watched and when they give commentary before resuming.
The best way to read this is by watching Captain America: The First Avenger on Disney+, which is how I managed to wrote the reactions and placed the timestamps.
Forgive the annoyance but I hope you can follow this story.
00:00:00 - 00:00:41
"Looks like we're starting in a blizzard" Momo pointed out.
00:00:41 - 00:01:24
The audience listened to the conversation the guys wearing big jackets to keep themselves warm, "from their conversation, I guess they found something strange." Izuku said, getting his notes ready for when they show the object.
00:01:24 - 00:02:02
"Defiantly a hell of a crane," Kimishira said as the rest of the audience were surprised of the mysterious object, that seemed to be shaped like a boomerang from the shown lights, all incase in ice.
They are now curious about this object.
00:02:02 - 00:02:53
When the guys enter the object, they found an interior of some sorts, the audience, mostly the students started to speculate what it supposed to be.
Some suggest a plane, consider the lights shape and the windows, others suggest a UFO that belongs to aliens, which could also be a possibility, if Norse gods exist in this reality, then a possibility of aliens can't be ruled out.
00:02:53 - 00:03:34
When the scene revealed a white start with red and blue circles going around the star, they were a bit confused about why it was there and why the guys seemed to find it important.
Izuku quickly recognized it.
He flipped the pages of his notes to try and find the right page, he ended up finding a page where he sketched a not fully made circle with a star in the middle, it matches the same as the star on screen.
"It's the star," Izuku said, causing the people around him to be confused to what he meant, "in Iron Man 2, Coulson found a star, which Stark used to support the cylinders when he made a new element."
"Does that mean that scene was foreshadowing a hero?" Uraraka asked.
"Maybe, but I'm still confused, let's keep watching to see what happens."
00:03:34 - 00:03:40
The scene cuts to black, with words reading a place and time.
The time caught many eyes.
"1942" Aizawa said, "a time before Quirks started to appear."
"If I remember my history, the year was during a time when the world was in chaos, the second world war."
This caused many of the audience to think of questions, why show this time? And how does it relate to the opening scene?
00:03:40 - 00:04:18
"Now that's a big punch" Power Loader commented on the big metal square that broken down a wall.
00:04:18 - 00:04:55
"And there's the main villain of this film" Kimishira pointed out, "since the film is called Captain America, and this film takes place in world war 2, the villains would be the Germans,"
"And let's hope they only focus on the Germans," one of the teachers said, as a few of them are somewhat concern about what the film will show.
00:04:55 - 00:05:36
"He made a good point," Kurogiri said, "if that man has nothing hidden away, he wouldn't try to hide it."
00:05:36 - 00:06:00
From the description of the German villain, Izuku noted down what would be an important item for later on, he remembers seeing it at the end credits of Thor, "so that's what the cube is called" Izuku said as he wrote 'Tesseract' on a new page and draw a cube.
00:06:00 - 00:06:31
Some of the students have the chills when the man in black threatens the old man to destroy his village, showing a very villainous side and lean very closer that he is the main villain for this film.
00:06:31 - 00:06:56
"Even if this takes place in the past, it still connects the previous films," Iida said as he and the other students, teachers and villains understand how this film can be connected to the last film, showing an interesting universe.
00:06:56 - 00:07:31
Some of the students were confused about what the man means, one of the teachers was able to give a clear explanation.
"During the second world war, there has been some records of Germany going to desserts in hopes to find religious relics and trinkets to influence their people"
"Oh yeah," Denki said, "like Raiders of the Lost Ark," the other students who watched that film understood what they were told.
"Sure, you can say that," the same teacher said as they look back at the screen.
00:07:31 - 00:08:07
"Yep," Kimishira said, "the main villain."
The rest of the audience was stunned that after all that, the German villain shot the old man and still destroyed his village, both students and teachers saw how much of a bad person this guy was. They already hate the guy.
00:08:07 - 00:08:25
The scene changes to an enlisting place in New York, which introduced a new character.
"Geez, he stands out more than anyone," one of the students commented.
00:08:25 - 00:08:50
"That's a big list of health issues," Recovery Girl said as she notices the summered list of health issues towards the skinny man named Rogers, "Asthma, high blood pressure, heart trouble, he wouldn't be fit to enlist in the army."
00:08:50 - 00:09:05
"It's probably for the best" Nezu said, "he might want to be a soldier, but consider all of his conditions, he probably dies in a battlefield without getting shot."
"Yeah," Bakugo said, "it would be like having a quirkless weakling as a pro hero."
"HAWKEYE!"
Another loud noise ring in everybody's ears, "you need to stop doing that," Asui said to an angry bomber boy as they recover from the loud shout.
00:09:05 - 00:09:26
"Using raw materials for war efforts, a small but decent cause" Power Loader nodded.
00:09:26 - 00:09:51
During the theatre scene, when the guy who complained stood up, Izuku had a sense of what would happen next.
And what happened next happened as he realized right away.
When the scene changed to Rogers getting punched by the guy, some of them had a grudge against the guy, especially when he punched someone as weak as Rogers.
00:09:51 - 00:10:15
Izuku looked down on his notes, taking a few breaths towards the scene, it remembers so much to his childhood, he remembers the times when Bakugo and his gang bullying him, teasing him for being quirkless and when he tries to fight, he always gets beaten up by them, it was a bit refreshing and knowledgeable that someone in this reality had been through what he had to go through before gaining One for All.
While watching the scene, Bakugo found the complaining man to be a bully, but when Rogers said certain words 'I can do this all day' he felt a sense of anger towards Rogers, those who are weak but never gives up, it reminded him so much of Deku, it was also that moment when he saw a reflection to those moments when he fought the nerd,
He was the bully and Izuku was Rogers.
The rest of the groups had different thought of Rogers not giving up, the teachers notice that he has courage, able to stand up on his own, even if he gets punched, but knows that he won't win this fight. The villains also saw the courage and understood his defence, but Shigiraki hated that Rogers doesn't back down from a fight, one of the traits of a hero.
00:10:15 - 00:10:41
With a save from who seemed to be Roger's friend, he also mentioned a bit of information about Rogers and his attempts to enlist for the military.
"He seriously wants to be a soldier," All Might said.
At that moment, started a small spark, a spark from Izuku, who nearly recognized the same feeling from Steve.
00:10:41 - 00:11:13
Some of the audience quickly notice the time skip from the newspaper, the time when the villain German found the tesseract was in 1942, and now it's jumped to 1943, Izuku noted down the different times to try and create a certain timeline for this reality.
00:11:13 - 00:11:43
"An exposition themed around the technological advances for the future," Mei said, interested towards the scene.
"I doubt there would be anything interesting" Power Loader suggested to his student, "back then, they would show futuristic fantasies that would be laughable today."
"Still, it would be interesting to see if they were correct."
00:11:43 - 00:12:08
"Like father, like son" All Might chuckled as the scene reveals a younger Howard Stark, Tony's father.
00:12:08 - 00:12:21
"Looks like you're wrong Stark," Momoma said.
They thought about it, "he not wrong" Momo pointed out, "from the previous films, cars are still touching the ground."
"Yeah, even in our reality we don't have floating cars." Ojiro said, "man, wouldn't it be cool if we have them?" Kimishira suggested.
"It would probably cause more problems than you think" Momo pointed out the realistic manner.
00:12:21 - 00:12:49
"And that's why we don't have floating cars" Iida pointed to the screen.
00:12:49 - 00:12:54
"Nice save" one of the students sarcastically said. But still impressed that Stark managed to present that a car can hover in the air, even if it backfired and failed.
00:12:54 - 00:13:09
"He's trying to enlist again?" Aizawa questioned.
"Either Rogers has a death wish or desperate to become a soldier," Asui said.
"or both" Twice added.
"If he thinks he can be a soldier after rejection, he must be dreaming," Bakugo said, "he's probably die in training before the battlefield."
00:13:09 - 00:13:20
"See, he looks ridiculous" Bakugo continued. In which made Izuku uncomfortable.
"Bakugo can you please stop insulting Rogers"
"It isn't my fault he's fragile."
00:13:20 - 00:14:01
After what Rogers said, Izuku full realized something.
Steve Rogers wanted to be a soldier, but often rejected in enlistment because of his numerous conditions and having a frail body, when he gets chased by big boys, he always gets beaten up, but stands up to himself and never back down in a fight even if he loses in the end, the quote from Steve gave Izuku a full realization.
"I got no right to do any less than him."
All of that, it feels like a reflection of himself.
He wanted to become a hero as Rogers wanted to become a soldier but rejected.
He never thought that there would be someone to be exactly like him, especially in the pre-quirk times, especially in a quirkless world.
He was fully invested to know more about Steve Rogers, he made a new page for Steve and hoped that he becomes a soldier just as he became a hero.
00:14:01 - 00:15:21
"They found out!" one of the students whispered as an MP soldier appeared during Steve's enlistment.
00:15:21 - 00:15:43
Izuku wrote down another name, Dr Erskine, he also guessed that he might be an important character later in the film.
00:15:43 - 00:16:16
"I think Erskine saw that Rogers has the determination to become a soldier" Nezu pointed out, "which shows that Rogers wants to join this war, which is why he asked the question, see if there's a motive."
"Yeah, if someone gets rejected once in a major role, some would give up" Aizawa added.
"So for Rogers to get rejected five times, it that he's not going to give up on his goal"
00:16:16 - 00:16:39
Another interesting idea from Steve Rogers and the given question.
Aizawa thought about the question and attempts to create a version of the question that fits their job.
"I got a question for my class. You don't need to answer it, but it would one to think about" He started,
"Do you want to fight villains?"
Most of the students thought about the question, and see the connection with what rogers said.
Izuku thought about the question, the realization of how similar he was to Rogers kept going, if he didn't saw this scene, he would still say something similar to Rogers, he doesn't want to fight anyone, he just doesn't like villains that will harm others, he would rather save people first before fighting the villain, because that's what a hero does.
Bakugo thought about the question, the obvious answer was a straight-up yes, but he didn't want to say it, he knows that it's the incorrect answer, but it was also he greatest motive, he wants to become a hero to win every fight. He will try to become number one that way, but at the same time, he thought if it was the right answer, he tries to hide his frustration from the question the best he could.
Uraraka thought about the question, the answer was no, her motivation was for money, but to support her family, but she also wants to become a hero her way as well, which means saving people.
Todoroki thought about the question, the answer was confusing, his father, Endeavour would say yes to this, because he always aims to become number one by defeating as many villains as possible, he doesn't want to become like his father, but at the same time, he doesn't know if he wants to focus on saving people or defeating villains.
Other students thought about the question, some of them wanted fame, others wanted fortune, some wanted to prove themselves, and a few thought it was the right thing to do and want to help others.
There are so many motivations for people do things and become what they want to become but sometimes, it could be for the right or bad reasons.
Steve, however, wanted to do it for the best reason. He has a soldier' heart but never a soldier' body. Which made it a bit sorry for the audience.
00:16:39 - 00:17:08
"I guess Steve got what he wanted" Midnight commented on the acceptance to join the army.
Though it made some of the audience curious to know why Erskine allowed this to happen, especially when Steve is too frail to become a soldier.
00:17:08 - 00:17:28
"let's see what the Germans are up to," one of the villains said as they notice the scene of change and very caught eye to notice the villain of the film looking out of his window.
00:17:28 - 00:18:19
"That's a very bright cube," one of the students said, noticing that the Tesseract is now glowing much more than the end credits.
Izuku put down on his notes that it can glow very bright. Then he looked at the screen to see what the villains are doing with the cube
00:18:19 - 00:19:33
For a start, the group was unsure of what they were testing. until Dr Zola said that he collected energy of the cube.
"Zola made a machine that can harvest the cube's energy," Power Loader said.
"And from what they said about the Cube in Thor, the cube seems to be powerful, maybe more powerful than the arc reactor," Mei added.
00:19:33 - 00:19:44
"A powerful source changes everything," Tokoyami made a quote
00:19:44 - 00:20:01
"Not that guy again," Uraraka sighs from the guy who beat up Rogers earlier, now enlisted and trained to become a soldier.
Meanwhile, Izuku added a new name in the list of names, Agent Carter.
00:20:01 - 00:20:18
"That's for beating up Steve," Kendo said, as she and the other student girls were glad that the perverted and arrogant Gilmore Hodge.
"And for flirting with your instructor," Iida added, who doesn't like out of line actions.
"That too," Mina joined in, without caring for what Iida said but hated Hodge's guts.
00:20:18 - 00:20:51
"Pointing out the obvious" Aizawa commented towards Colonel Phillip's speech when saying that the best men are going to be better but knowing that Steve isn't one of those 'best men'.
00:20:51 - 00:21:44
During Phillip's speech, it showed scenes of Rogers in training along with the other soldiers, in each of them, Roger struggles and was picked on by Hodge.
"Yeesh," Kimishira said, feeling bad towards Rogers, "really reminds me of Midoriya on our first day."
Izuku, also had a sense of feeling as well, except that he had a quirk, but had a good reason not to use it during the first test, Rogers, on the other hand, was as if he was doing one of those test completely quirkless.
"I would have kicked Rogers out if he couldn't keep up with the rest of the squad," Aizawa commented.
"Cut some slack for Steve, Aizawa" All Might replied towards the 1-A teacher, "he's trying his best, just that he can't do much due to his health.
"and that's why I would kick him out for." Aizawa counter-argue, "Hero training can be similar to soldier training, if you're not good enough to keep up, then there's no point of trying."
"But that doesn't mean they would give up altogether," Aizawa turn to see Mirio who commented to what he said, "in my training, I found that experience is power, the more we learn, the better we become, Steve is becoming stronger, it just takes some time."
"Time that no one has, especially in the middle of a war," Aizawa concluded before resuming towards the screen.
00:21:44 - 00:22:08
the group smiled towards the scene, a bunch of US American soldiers trying to go up a pole to grab a flag, going around and pushing each other like dogs, it was a slightly funny scene.
00:22:08 - 00:22:17
"Do you think Rogers can get that flag?" Asui asked,
"I doubt it," one of the teachers said, "with the previous scenes depicted, he would most likely fall before reaching to the top…"
00:22:17 - 00:22:26
"Or, he can just remove the support bolts and grab the flag from the ground…" the teacher was surprised to Roger's sharpness, he saw a way to get a flag that they didn't say.
"He only said to get the flag," All Might said, "he didn't say climb the pole to get the flag,"
The students smiled towards Roger's way of getting the flag, if they had to do the same without using their quirks, they would do what the other soldiers did, never consider removing the bolts.
"Remember to look for alternatives to achieve a goal, that way, you can create backups towards a situation" All Might said an important lesson in which Izuku noted down.
00:22:26 - 00:23:07
"So Erskine has a reason for Rogers," Izuku said as he was curious to know what made him so special, maybe there's a good reason or that Rogers wants to be a soldier so bad but doing it for a good cause.
The rest of the audience was also curious especially when Rogers showed no skills during training other than the flag moment.
00:23:07 - 00:23:37
The teachers became more curious about Erskine's decision and curious of what he is up to, it's never mentioned of what he's going to do, but if he's looking for a soldier, then it would make sense to pick the best of the best, that's what they do in U.A, which is why they do physical exams where they do hero work, those who are left behind are better expelled.
But Erskine mentioned that he's looking for one that's 'beyond physical' and based on what Steve has shown, they would guess that it's about the heart and smarts.
But they had to agree with Phillips, in their experience as pro heroes, you can't win fights with niceness.
00:23:37 - 00:24:00
Followed by the scene, Philips then threw a grenade, obviously being a dud.
But then it showed something that grabs attention towards Rogers.
Unlike the rest of the soldiers who ran away from the sight of the grenade, Rogers, without thinking, jumped into the grenade and shouting to get away from the grenade.
"If that was a real grenade, Rogers would have died from the explosion," Nezu said, with the teachers agreeing with the principal.
"But even then, he would have covered himself and minimize the explosion, saving surrounding soldiers in the cost of his life."
"Yeah," All Might turn to the mouse-bear, "he seems to run into danger rather run away from it, showing guts and will to do anything."
All Might then had a thought about what Steve Rogers showed in this scene, and turns to Midoriya.
He remembers a time during the sludge villain incident, he watches Bakugo struggle against the vicious villain and all he can do is nothing, because he was too weak to do anything, the heroes at the scene did nothing, as their quirks were useless against him.
But Midoriya ran in and tried his best to save his friend.
It inspired him to save the day and chose Midoriya to carry One For All.
Because Izuku Midoriya has the heart of a brave hero, and Steve Rogers has the heart of a brave soldier.
After that realization, All Might now see why Erskine has chosen Rogers for his special thing.
00:24:00 - 00:24:17
"At least it's a small improvement" All Might smiled.
00:24:17 - 00:24:43
The teachers and some of the students lean towards the screen, wanting to hear a clear answer to why Erskine chose Rogers for his special thing even though Rogers is physically weak.
A couple of the audience had a slight idea but wants to hear what Dr Erskine had to say.
00:24:43 - 00:25:13
"Makes sense," one of the teachers said towards a small history lesson, "the second world war happened because Germany was blamed for the first world war, they wanted more control and power. And the rest is history."
00:25:13 - 00:25:45
While Erskine explained, he let out some information that the audience didn't know before, when it showed the face of the German villain, Erskine mentioned his name and what he does.
"So, his name is Johann Schmidt and he's the leader of the German's main research division Hydra," Izuku said as he wrote such information down his notes, expanding more about Schmidt.
00:25:45 - 00:26:01
"And I guess he got what he wanted from the Tesseract," Shigiraki said.
00:26:01 - 00:26:30
They heard the backstory of Johann Schmidt, and learned more about Erskine's special thing, being a serum.
Izuku realized what he mentioned. He flipped the pages of his notes and found certain words, ones that he wrote while watching the Incredible Hulk.
'Super Soldier – World War 2'
"Us this the Super Soldier program?" Izuku muttered, remembering it being mentioned in Hulk.
For everyone else, they now see Schmidt wanting to gain great power, the images showing Schmidt threatening Erskine then using the serum that wasn't ready, to them, Schmidt fits the term 'villain.' Especially with the things that he has been doing up to this point.
00:26:30 - 00:27:03
From hearing the end part of Erskine's reason to why he chose Rogers, it gave an interesting thought to Izuku and All Might.
When All Might heard the end part, it started to remind him to why Nana chose him to carry One For All, he started quirkless and wanted to become a hero, he doesn't remember what it was like to be quirkless before gaining One For All.
"Did you gave me One for All because I was quirkless" All Might thought, as he agrees to what Erskine said, he knows the value of strength and knowing that he can use it for good, that's probably why he became the number one hero and the symbol of peace.
He looked at the rest of the students, then Midoriya, it's true that nearly all Izuku's students had their powers all their life and spent years using it, even in their limitations of using quirks in public, but they never truly know what it's like to be quirkless, so they rely on their quirks, especially Bakugo.
But since Izuku was quirkless, he knows the value of strength as well, watching powerful quirks and know the limits, and because of that, he knows power because he knows what it's like to be weak.
Sometimes, power isn't always trying to find the highest limit, but also finding the lowest, that way, it can build up.
Meanwhile, for Izuku, he thought about what Erskine said and felt happy for both Steve and himself, Izuku looked at the scars on his hand, thinking how far he was since he got One For All, he then looked at Erskine and felt inspired, knowing that even someone who is quirkless or weaker than a quirkless knows power.
00:27:03 - 00:27:36
"I will, Dr Erskine" Izuku whispered, "thank you."
The students turn to look at the green hair student, noticing that he's smiling with soft tears in his eyes, confused to what the scene meant for Izuku but didn't want to ask why.
00:27:36 - 00:27:52
A slight small laugh came from the students after an interesting answer of Dr Erskine.
00:27:52 - 00:28:09
"Why are they hiding Schmidt's face?" Momo questioned with the rest of the audience agreeing with her, "we already know what he looked like."
"or maybe, he is wearing a mask" Twice gave out a suggestion, causing the villains of the audience to slowly turn to their member with a questionable expression, "he's not wearing a mask" Shigiraki pointed out the obvious, "maybe he is, he could be wearing a skin mask or a mask of a mask!"
The leader sighed and turn away to someone he finds annoying.
00:28:09 - 00:28:31
"and now Schmidt knows what's happening with Erskine" Shinso commented on Erskine's images.
00:28:31 - 00:29:00
"A smart move," Kurogiri said, "if Schmidt had this serum, knows what it can do and found out that the creator is using it for the opposing side, it would be a reasonable choice to take him out as soon as possible."
00:29:00 - 00:29:43
"He ended up beaten up all his life, that's a bit sad," Kimishira said, feeling sorry for Rogers.
Izuku knew what it's like as well, he remembers being beaten up by Bakugo and his friends in many locations, from the park, in alleyways and behind their school.
Another similarity between him and Rogers.
00:29:43 - 00:29:55
Bakugo took a deep breath, trying to now show how much he hated what Steve said, it reminds him so much of Deku.
He didn't want to see another Deku showing up, to him, one was already bad enough.
00:29:55 - 00:30:15
"I guess being weak would also have a lack of social interaction" Iida examined the conversation between Rogers and Carter.
"Yeah," Izuku smiled, knowing that he didn't have a long conversation with a girl or even talked to one until U.A.
00:30:15 - 00:31:32
The audience was slightly confused when Carter and Rogers entered an antique shop, and somewhat suspicious from certain words and the fact that the shop owner has a gun underneath the desk counter.
But then when the bookcase opened to reveal a secret room, they realized where they are.
"I guess this is a secret hideout operation for the serum experiment," Aizawa said, impressed that they placed the location in such an unexpected location.
00:31:32 - 00:32:20
"I guess the serum injection is more than just a simple needle" Power Loader said as he and Mei were fascinated by the machine next to Rogers and Erskine, guessing that Steve will enter inside the machine, they were curious of what it can do.
00:32:20 - 00:32:44
"In a time of war, money would go mostly for support of the war than research and testing," one of the teachers said.
"But at least they figured out a way to find the requirements for this test."
00:32:44 - 00:34:23
the scene shows the start of the experiment for the super-soldier serum, Izuku got his notes ready and wrote the already provided information from Dr Erskine's introduction towards the higher officials that attended the experiment.
For some of the students and villains, most of the information flew over their head.
Momo gave out a simple explanation, "Steve is going to get several injections of the serum into his body that will change his body, then using vita-rays to keep the serum stable during the mutation."
"Mutation…" Uraraka thought about what the smart rich girl said, then spoken once again, "wait, does that mean Rogers is getting a quirk?"
"You can say that" Momo answered slowly, "but it's not the same as quirks, I'm just predicting based on what Erskine said, let's just see what happens."
00:34:23 - 00:35:19
For some of the audience who doesn't like injections, the scene where Rogers gets injected with the serum showed little of the needles but can see the injection from Steve's facial looks.
"And so the serum experiment begins," Aizawa said as they all were curious to see what will happen while the machine seals Rogers inside.
The last time they saw the frail and weak Steve Rogers.
00:35:19 - 00:35:26
"Go through the pain, go all the way through," Tokoyami said towards the scene.
00:35:26 - 00:37:00
The experiment is done, with the spark and the power going down, with the addition of the light inside the machine off, the audience looked directly at the screen to see the results of the serum experiment.
00:37:00 - 00:37:12
When the machine opens, it revealed Steve Rogers, now changed.
It shocked the audience.
"He… is… buffed!" Uraraka shouted as she along with the rest of the student were surprised that the serum turned Steve Rogers from weak and fragile to buffed and strong.
"You can say that again," Kimishira said, "he looks so manly."
The teachers were also impressed of the results, they once thought Steve was too weak to fight in a war, but then Erskine gave him the ability to become stronger and more capable to fight, out of all of them, the symbol of peace was very impressed. "Started from the weakest soldier into a super-soldier." All Might said as he thought about what he just saw.
It reminded him of how he transforms, with his weak form being skeleton to a stronger form when using One For All, now he felt a bit of similarity between him and Rogers.
He smiled, knowing that Rogers now has a power that he can use to become a soldier.
00:37:12 - 00:37:22
"Why did the camera focused on that metal box?" Momo pointed out.
00:37:22 - 00:37:38
"And much bigger and stronger," Kimishira commented towards Steve's body, remembering how small he was compared to Carter, now he was the tallest out of the two.
00:37:38 - 00:38:05
Momo's suspicions were right, as the man presses his lighter, the room with the box exploded.
"That must be the one sent by Schmidt," one of the villains said.
The students and teachers are now worried, but along with the villains, they were curious to see what's going to happen as an action scene started.
00:38:05 - 00:38:11
"Erskine NO!" one of the students shouted as the spy gunned down Dr Erskine.
00:38:11 - 00:38:35
As the audience were sad about what happened to Erskine, they notice his last words, or rather his last action, pointing towards Steve's heart.
"Never change, stay as a good man," All Might translate Dr Erskine last actions before his death.
Meanwhile, on the villain side, Kurogiri was stratified to the events shown, "that solve some plotholes" he stated, making some of the villains confused.
"in the Hulk film, they explained about the super-soldier program, claiming that they were trying to make a success out of it, but they already did in this film, which made me wonder how they are unable to replicate the experiment once more and create a batch of super soldiers."
"in which is because the head scientist was assassinated after the first experiment," Aizawa added into what the shadow villains were explaining, "after that, all of his secrets and the ability to replicate the experiment once again died with him."
"Exactly," Kurogiri agreed with the 1-A teacher.
"Even if that's the case, he at least gave Rogers a great gift," Izuku said, as he was sad that Erskine died, but at least he died with no regrets, helping Rogers achieved his dreams.
He wrote the conclusion of the man, Dr Erskine – assassinated by a spy, died after making Steve Rogers a super-soldier.
00:38:35 - 00:39:09
"Nice shot," Snipe said, impressed that Carter made a clean headshot from a faraway distance.
00:39:09 - 00:39:30
"But you would still get run over by the taxi," one of the students said, as they were happy that Rogers managed to save Carter from danger even if she tried to shoot the spy.
00:39:30 - 00:40:24
The following scene was a big car chase scene.
But what makes it impressive is that Steve was able to run on foot, sure he crashed into a wedding dress shop, but be quickly recovered and managed to catch up with the car, ending up on the roof of the taxi.
"The effects of the serum is starting to kick in," Present Mic said, "it's not impressive as All Might, but for a quirkless world, it's still impressive."
Izuku makes some notes of the abilities Steve has, from very slight super speed and enhanced stamina, which explains how he can keep going after the car.
00:40:24 - 00:40:55
"And now the car is stopped" one of the teachers pointed out.
00:40:55 - 00:41:04
"Using the broken car door as a shield to block the bullets, smart thinking for Rogers," Aizawa said.
00:41:04 – 00:41:10
"And using a child as a hostage to keep everyone away from him, smart thinking for the spy," Shigiraki said.
00:41:10 - 00:41:31
Most of the audience heartbeat dropped when the spy had a chance to shoot Steve, and relieved that he was out of bullets.
"One bullet is all it takes" one of the teachers took a deep breath yet glad that the gun was out of bullets.
00:41:31 - 00:41:41
"A good quick heroic action for Rogers" All Might smiled, "always save people or check if they're okay before defeating the villains."
00:41:41 - 00:42:27
"That's for killing a great scientist," Kimishira said, being glad that Rogers managed to catch the German spy.
00:42:27 - 00:42:41
"Cut off one head, two more shall take its place" Shigiraki repeated what the spy told Rogers, finding it an interesting quote, the rest of the audience found it interesting as well.
"I wish I can disagree with him, but it's, unfortunately, true," All Might said.
"No matter how many villains we defeat, there will always be more villains to fight," Mirio said, with attention turn to him.
"But there has to be a way to stop villains entirely" Mirio's friend, Nejire asked, "right?"
"Why do you think we exist?" Shigiraki said, which caught many eyes to look at him.
"Our goal is to change society, making sure that there are fewer villains."
"And by doing that, you tried to kill the symbol of peace and terrorised people." Aizawa gave a raised a brow towards the villain, "if you're trying to change society, you're not doing a good job."
The leader of the League of Villains grows towards the teachers, hating what they said about him, he's trying to follow what master told him and use the influence from Stain to achieve his goals.
"While our system is not fair for most, it's unfortunate, the best we have," Aizawa conclude the conversation before resuming with the film.
00:42:41 - 00:43:03
"Wait, what happened to the spy?" Sero asked, confused about how the spy managed to die.
"He used a pill inside his teeth to kill himself, dying before being captured for interrogation." One of the teachers answered, "one of the unfortunate methods spies take if they get caught by the enemy."
With that explained, the scene then shows Steve looking at himself as if he realized the abilities he manages to do, Izuku noticed this, thinking that Steve just found out what he can do, showing that he thought of going after the spy and trying his best to help
Steve is a soldier, doing his best and managed to stop the man who killed someone who has given his strength. Midoriya was curious to see what happens next as he can relate very well with Steve Rogers.
