Questions
1: can you have MHA react to…
Okay, at this point, I need to give this out so I don't get any more of this or less of it in the future.
I am going to say this very clearly.
If you ask me or request me to have MHA react to something that is outside of the MCU films, my answer is going to be NO.
I understand that you guys want MHA to react to these interesting films/series, and I want to see the reactions as well, but I am just one man, I can't do everything by myself, I created 'MHA watches the MCU' as the practice of my writing as well as putting a unique concept out there.
If you wanted MHA to react to these films/series and you're good at writing stories yourself, then my best recommendation is to do it yourself, that's pretty much how I decided to do this fanfiction and I encourage others to do the same if they wanted to.
I would be interested to see MHA react to the following:
1: The DCEU
2: The X-Men Cinematic films
3: The Boys (Amazon Original series)
4: any superhero film/series including the MCU
There are already a couple of people who are doing their reaction fanfictions, like Zayden StormVoid, who's doing his version of 'MHA watches the MCU'. I'll admit, even if he takes his time, he uses the MHA characters to be characters in the MCU, Deku has a harem and he's currently at the end of the first Thor film, his reactions are good and interesting to read, he also does 'MHA watches Death Battle' which is also interesting. Another writer on Fanfiction is LonelySquire, who despite having account problems, is doing 'MHA react to SCPs', an interesting concept that I follow and read with every new update. Both Zayden and Squire have good fanfictions reactions and I highly recommend to check them out if you like this fanfiction.
All I'm saying out of this, is that if you are a writer or if you wanted MHA to react to something so bad, then I recommend writing your version of their reaction, and if you can't write or don't have the ability or time to make a story of their reaction, then don't expect me to do it for you, my focus is on the MCU, so just wait until someone else decides to write something outside of those films.
2: is FWM a real person?
It's complicated... I think the best way to answer this is from FWM herself.
(Well Memorywalker, yes, I am a real person. But in the context of the Q-class Mariverse, I am considered a fictional character, so the real answer is that I am real and not real at the same time. Unless you believe that fiction is real and exist within a different reality, then in that case, yes.)
(And no, that's not even close to my real name.)
Hope that answer your question.
With that out of the way, let's start the Interlude.
It will one hell of an Interlude, with a topic I wanted to say about the flaws of Hero Society, you might follow what I'm saying, you might see it as a mess, you might agree with me, you might disagree with me, but overall, this is what I think when it comes to MHA and this is my attempt to express it, especially after MHA seen the Hydra Corruption in S.H.I.E.L.D, this includes the idea of hero society, hero structure and League of Villain plans altogether. All I hope is that you find it interesting, and if not, then at least I tried and it's out there.

Looking around the Cinema, there wasn't much added or changed since the last time they entered.
The only things that were added was a few pictures and an outfit that stood out from the Iron Man suits.
The outfit was the original World War 2 outfit Captain America wore, now standing next to the latest Iron Man suit and the shield hanging on the wall, it holds the old shield that the Captain used before his vibranium shield, in a position similar to the one at the Captain America exhibit.
The pictures were one image of one of the three Project Insight carriers, hanging next to the Avengers images, while two more images were added to the wall of heroes.
The first image is the picture of Sam Wilson, wearing goggles and his black and red suit during the invasion of S.H.I.E.L.D, the label saying 'Sam Wilson/The metal winged Hero: Falcon'
The other image is strangely on the heroes wall when in most of the film, he was portrayed as the villain, and that being the picture of Bucky Barnes, in his appearance of long hair and a metal arm, the label saying 'James 'Bucky' Barnes/Winter Soldier'.
Though while there were some additions, the group were more focused with the small girl in the black hoodie, smiling towards them.
"Come everyone" FWM started, "I set up for you all to take a seat and have an interesting conversation.
And with that and no further indication, most of the audience followed FWM and take a seat with the relaxing area, Izuku, Iida, Aizawa, All Might, Nezu, Shigaraki, Kurogiri and many others took seats around the girl. And when there are no seats, people either find more seats or stood up to listen to the FWM.
There were others however who decided to look around the objects or gone outside to take a breather after watching the latest MCU film. Mei took no hesitation to go into the workshop to resume with her Iron Man and major project.
With everyone seated and surrounding the FWM, the girl smile.
"Alright, let's begin. The moment you all waited for."
28:49
"So… how do you feel after watching the film?"
The first question from the FWM after everyone seated. There was silence, people thinking about what they watched and how much it made them think about their reality.
"It's… a lot…" Izuku had the urge to speak out, with a few nods from a few students, "the fact that Hydra was still active and operated within S.H.I.E.L.D, a trusted division that supported the heroes of that reality… it's a lot to think about."
"Yeah I'm sure of it" FWM replied, "it made you think about how it reflects with your reality and the possibility of corruption within your hero society."
"What problem?" Iida questioned.
"Haven't you paid attention to Shigaraki while watching the film?" the girl pointed to the League of Villains leader, "aside from the villains in the room, have any of you heroes consider that there are problems and flaws within the hero system?"
"Care to elaborate?" Aizawa asked, curious to see why there are problems within the hero system. Feeling somewhat offended by the idea.
The FWM smile, "well, for starters, I believe the biggest major problem would be him" the girl pointed directly to the skeleton figure of All Might, who raised a brow towards her pointing at him, along with other students and teachers. "Yagi, the biggest mistake you made, that cause everything wrong with your reality is when you became the Symbol of Peace."
Hearing that, the heroes and some students were crossed at the girl, the fact that she said that made them disgusted towards them and idea that All Might is the problem.
"No don't get me wrong, Pro heroes are needed, especially in a reality where the majority of humans have quirks and All Might, you are a great hero, but the second you became a Symbol of Peace, you changed the world from becoming tamed after chaos, into much more chaos, because you convinced the world that they need to rely on one man. By becoming the symbol of peace, you also became a target, not just for villains who sees my view and want to kill you, but for young children who aim to become just like you, and there are lot of them, so much that everyone wants to be heroes more than anything else. Everyone wants to be All Might."
"Yeah because he's what everyone looks up for," Bakugo said. "those who can't catch up are extras and worthless."
"Oh Bakugo," FWM said, facing to the explosion student, "you are the best student example to prove that I'm right." she then turns to everyone else, "those who want to be All Might would care nothing more than going beyond All Might, even if they're much weaker or are too blind to what makes All Might a good hero. And while some of you don't want to be All Might, you also want to be heroes to gain wealth or fame, that too came from All Might being the symbol of peace."
"So you're saying that All Might is the ultimate false hero?" Spinner said.
"No," FWM answered, "but he's the cause of many false heroes by making a ranking system. People now care about who's the best hero from that, with All Might being at the top of the mountain, they care about who's the highest and most popular hero, who's in the top ten and who is the number one hero."
The girl then faces All Might with a smile, he understood what she's saying, he remembers when there's no ranking system or hero popularity until the early times as the Symbol of Peace. He had to admit it, but he made that happen.
"Because of this, it causes heroes to try and be on the spotlight, hoping to defeat as many villains as possible, hoping to save as many people as possible, and they will try is so irrationally that they'll end up fighting each other to try and take one first place. While some heroes simply don't care like Eraserhead, the majority of pro heroes today are aiming to reach for the top in both efficiency and popularity. So congratulations All Might, you managed to turn special law enforcement, that supports quirks into the new society into one big celebrity contest where everyone sacrifices the true meaning of being a hero, just to be exactly like you!"
The FWM too a deep breath before continuing.
"And the worst part is, you are a man, you are mortal, you can be killed and you're supposed to represent peace, meaning that as long as you live, there will be peace, but once you die, peace dies with you. The structure of heroes and society will crumble the second you fall."
All Might started to think about what FWM had to say up to this point, she was right about him being a symbol of peace, when he started as the symbol, he thought it could inspire people, keep people safe, have people believe that he will be there to save them. But in the long run, he knows that once he retires or in the case where he does die. Then the world will plunge into chaos once more.
He turned towards Midoriya, he hoped that he would be the one to keep peace alive.
"Yeah, because dumping all of your problems to a kid could keep peace alive."
All Might turn to the girl, surprised to hear that from her, especially when he didn't say anything just thought about it. Everyone else was confused about what the girl said towards the former symbol of peace.
"And now, the villains."
She turns towards the League of Villains, who listen to her banter the entire time.
"Because there's a ranking system, heroes have to fight villains to boost their ranks and popularity, for the ranking system to work, it requires villains for heroes to fight."
She gave out a smile and turn to the heroes and heroes-in-training.
"Tell me, what are villains?"
For this question, a teacher was able to speak, "a villain are those who are dangers to society, people who are willing to break the law and create chaos to danger innocent civilians."
"and another question, can they be saved?"
"Of course," the teacher answered, "we are there to save the civilians from…"
"No, not the innocent forgettable Memorywalkers" FWM interrupted, "I meant the villains, can villains be saved?"
The teacher went silent, the rest of the heroes didn't say anything, not even the students said anything, they remember Bakugo and All Might talking about the subject of villains giving the chance to be saved. But villains who committed the crime? The answer should be obvious, but they listen to what FWM had to say.
"To me, when I see your reality, villains are people you don't save" FWM repeated the words Bakugo said. "They are people who are raised in your hero society to suffer, whether from being in poverty, having a bad childhood, being at an unfair advantage or having bad quirks that make them villainous, unable to do simple tasks due to their quirks, can't able to control their quirk or the fact that they have such a quirk that damages their mental problems. Everyone with those problems will have people around them, including heroes to push them into their breaking point, and the moment they snap, when they can't take it anymore when they go against society, they are instantly villains, used as punching bags and stepping stones for heroes."
"That's not true." One of the students tried to argue.
"Are you sure?" FWM countered, "because despite the official low crime rate, have you notice that every single day, there's a villain incident? With every incident, it's either a suffering person who snapped or people trying to survive the unfair world by doing crime. They didn't have a choice, they couldn't have a choice, and if you say that they could of follow the law or not do any crime, then I can tell you it's impossible."
The heroes were thinking `about how villains can stop being villains, suggest that they should of not commit the crime or turn evil. That's their prior mindset towards how they became villains.
"To give you a better idea, imagine if you had a quirk called 'cannibalism', by consuming human flesh, you enhance your strength, but you have to consume to sustain your life, not eating human flesh for a long period of time will result in death by starvation. Now imagine how you can live with that quirk after reaching four-years-old?" FWM gave out an example and question, "you would be marked as a potential villain by the public records, you will have no treatment towards how to deal with your quirk, the only way you managed to survive is by eating your dead skin, keeping you going, but it never stratify your hunger, as you grow up, people will isolate you, bully you for your quirk, calling you a freak, a monster, someone who will hurt others because of what they have, you will find out that people don't want you, people hate you, people will push you away and push you to your breaking point. And when that happens, you snap, you find the closest person and you eat them, you managed to help your quirk, but you committed murder, and now you're a villain, the heroes and police are after you, you are now afraid, in fear that they will lock you up in a cage, where you starve out and die. So, you run away from your life, you go on a rampage of killing and stealing, just to survive, up until a hero managed to catch up to you, and put you in chains and finally, your biggest nightmare becomes reality. If any of you had that cannibal quirk, could you do anything different to live a normal life without breaking the law or become a villain?"
Everyone was silent, the idea of the quirk was an interesting example, while some of the villains understood, many of the heroes and teachers wouldn't know how they could do anything different, mostly due to having their own time with their quirks, while some could be dangerous, none of them was as dangerous as a cannibal quirk.
"Of course there are villains who are actual villains, people who are psychotic or purposely use their quirks to commit crimes, but the majority of villains are those who suffer under the state of hero society and could have been prevented if they are treated and gain the support of others rather than push them aside to the point where they snap. in fact, everyone in the current active members of the League of Villains is those who suffer."
"Yes," Shigaraki said, "that is pretty much the reason we became the League of Villains, to try and change society and show you, heroes, the flaws of your system."
"Correct" FWM added, "However, you are doing a very poor job at showing it to them."
"What?" the leader raised a brow, along with the other villains.
"While you have the right intentions and message, you don't act as though you're trying to change society, but to keep it going, and it's all thanks to Handjob over there."
"What are you talking about?" the leader said, feeling a bit angry towards the girl.
"Well let's count your attempts to 'change society' shall we." FWM started. "first off, the USJ incident, I say it was your best plan out of you stupid plans, your attempt to kill the symbol of peace once and for all, I would say it's a good plan, if All Might dies, then people will wake up and realize that there is no peace, and thus break the trust in heroes. heck, you didn't even need to kill him, you needed to hurt him for that to happen."
"That was our intention," Kurogiri said.
"But the problem is time and place," FWM pointed out, "why do you think in Iron Man 2, Whiplash attacked Stark during a public race? Because it's the best time and place for that to happen. You decided to do it in the USJ, a closed-off building on private school grounds where no one will see All Might getting hurt and the heroes could hide the fact that he got hurt. Not to mention that he wasn't there, to begin with, so you decided to use that opportunity to attack the students at 1-A, which encouraged them to fight back, which helped them to become better and stronger heroes."
The leader remained silent, Kurogiri stayed silent as well, the League of Villain members who weren't there at the USJ thought about the Shigaraki's plan compare to Whiplash, to them, the electric whip villain was more successful than what their leader did.
"And after that, you went on with so many fudge ups, you tried to hire Stain into killing students, you wreak havoc at a city just to kill Stain, you used his ideology as your motive when you don't know what it is. Then you kidnapped Bakugo, believing that he can become a villain when he's on the fudging hero course and after disagreeing with Overhaul when he has a possible cure to quirks, you decided to compromise his operation and take off his arms. How does any of that will change society?!"
Shigaraki started to grind his teeth, he hated everything that FWM said, telling him that he's a failure. "can you please shut up," he muttered.
"No, because the rest needs to hear this," FWM said, "you say that you want to change society, but in reality, you don't care about society, you just want to be remembered for something, you want to make a mark in history, you want to be above others, so you're willing to use anything to make your excuses, if there are villains who are trying to change society, you would go against them because you want to be the one to do it, and because of that, not only you keep the heroes going and give a reason why they and the system exist, but you drag down people who suffered along with you."
"If you keep going…" Shigaraki growls, shaking in anger towards the girl, but she kept going.
"Overall, you're not helping to change society, you're sustaining it to never change, and because of that, you are exactly like the heroes, you are desperate to be number one!"
And with that, Shigaraki snapped.
The first action was so sudden, he stood up and grabbed FWM by the neck, then pushed her towards a wall. He felt full-on rage towards the girl, as he hated everything she said. He had the urge to act and try to kill her.
When everyone else realized what happened, some of the teachers and villains stood up and try to get the leader of the League of Villains off the choking girl.
"No, no, please don't," FWM said, speaking normally rather than choaking, "let him choke me, in fact…" she then snaps her fingers.
In sudden, Shigaraki notice the sides of the girl's neck surrounding the fingers, as it starts to go grey.
"I activated your quirk, so you are decaying me as we speak."
While the leader smile at that realization, he notices something strange when he used his quirk on the FWM.
Normally when he touches something or someone with five fingers, the decay would be instant, there would be moments like when he touched Aizawa where he only decays a certain part, but for this moment, he wanted to kill her for insulting his methods and tactics for his group.
And yet, when the decay goes through an inch away from Shigaraki's fingers, it quickly disappears, as though she has some form of quick regeneration quirk that's healing her more than his quirk decaying her.
"You can't kill me Handjob, nothing can," FWM said, "and with you lashing out, it illustrates how you're a villain society wants you to be."
The girl then slowly reached her hands and grabbed hold of Shigaraki's wrist from the hand he used to choke the FWM.
"Now," the girl said, snapping her fingers, giving a creepy grin that stroke fear towards the villain, "can you let me go before I make you permanently quirkless?"
"Shigaraki, I advise doing what she says," Kurogiri said, worrying about the league's leader.
The decaying villain sighed, realizing he was in a tight situation, especially when the heroes saw his actions. He let go of the girl.
"Thank you," she said, "all I'm saying is that if you want to change society, consider your actions and how it makes an impact, or figure out a better way to change society that without making it worse." she then turns towards the other villains, who had different and mixed thoughts on what the girl said and what their leader did to her. "and for the rest, if you believe that Shigarki's cause isn't helping, then I recommend doing something else."
With the villains out of the way, she turned towards the heroes and heroes-in-training, "while it's a bit too late for the pro heroes, the students have the opportunity to make the world better, if you want to stop villain and corruption, then you have to stop the ranking system. Don't try to be like All Might, don't try to become popular, don't focus on beating up villains when they need help, try and be the best hero as you can and save as many people as possible. But never leave out potential villains only for them to become villains."
"Interesting," Izuku said, who didn't say anything but wrote down everything that FWM said up to this point, "so is that the reason why you brought us here, villains included, and showed us the MCU? To show the flaws of our society and help us make the world better?"
"Actually, no" FWM gave out a surprising answer, which confused several people in the group.
"Everything I said came from the voice of the author and how he sees your reality, I'm just here to say it for him. And there are several reviews that agreed with him and understood the flaws of your world's society. He loved how people are thinking about the problems and they might explain it better than I did."
"Huh?" one of the students raised a brow. As she starts to walk away.
"Me personally, I don't care about your reality, make it better, make it worse, let it rise, let it burn, it doesn't concern me what happens to your world."
"Then what is the real reason you brought us here?" Izuku said, looking down on his notes before looking up to see her gone. Leaving the question unanswered.
"Of course…"
25:34
While the FWM talked to the group, Aizawa waited for the right moment.
He kept an eye on two people, the FWM who was busy, and Wyatt, who stood at the food stand. Before watching Winter Soldier, he was watching carefully at Wyatt and notice how when nobody is getting food, he walks outside, it made him curious.
Just when Wyatt left his station, he followed.
He followed the boy, coming out of the cinema and he watches the boy walking all alone until nobody sees him, he took deep breaths then pulled out something out of his ear.
Upon closer examination, what he pulled seemed to be some sort of device, he kept hold of the device in his hand while he scratched his ear. He wonders what makes the device so important and why he left just to scratch his ear?
There was no other option, and since they're alone, it was the best time to get information.
"I need to talk to you…"
Upon hearing the teacher's words, Wyatt jumped and screech. He dropped the device to his side, he quickly turns to face the teacher in fear, while turning he accidentally steps on the device, he looked down and gasp.
"No!" he shouted. He crouches down and looked at the device, he quickly grabbed it, "no, no, no…" he then looked up, to see the teacher, who stood there motionless.
"You can tell me about the FWM and what she's planning?" he asked.
There was no response, instead, Wyatt quickly tried to put the device back to his ear, he tried to plug the device right into the ear as much as he could, but he did so with grunts and heavy breaths.
"What are you doing? Are you…"
"It's not working," the boy said, but he didn't speak in Japanese, but rather in English, he continued, "no, it needs to work, I need it to work!"
"Kid, calm down," the teacher said but was a quick screech from Wyatt.
"I don't understand you, and you don't understand me, we speak differently," the boy continued on in English.
This brought some attention towards Wyatt, as Aizawa notice a couple of things from him, the first thing he notice is that Wyatt started to speak English when earlier he was speaking Japanese, the second would be the device, it's possible that the device allows Wyatt to speak Japanese when in reality he doesn't know the language at all. He also wonders if FWM has a similar device.
In order to know more, he has to play along.
"I understand you," Aizawa said in English.
"You…. You do?" Wyatt stuttered, letting go of his ears and stare at the teacher.
Though he prefers to use Japanese, he had learned a decent amount of English during his education time, in the possibility to work with foreign heroes or in his time as a teacher, have a foreign exchange student.
"Do you speak Japanese?" he asked.
"I… I…" the boy stuttered, still in English "I speak normal words… Masta told me that you all speak funny, Masta gave me this, so I can understand the guests, so she can understand guests. So the guests understand us."
Aizawa looked at Wyatt once more, although he seems to be around the same age as the FWM, his behavior was strange, when he speaks, he seems to have little intelligence, his actions seem that he doesn't know what he's doing.
He had to be careful to say certain words, as doing a full approach would scare the boy.
"I presume this 'Masta' is the FWM? Am I correct?" he said in English once more.
"Yes…" the boy answered, "Masta is a friend to Wyatt, she found me in the mud, we became best of friends, she made me human. Taught me to stand on my two hooves and speak like the rest of the big humans." He then snorted from his cheerful grin.
There were some interesting words the 1-A notice, most of them not making sense or make Wyatt very unintelligible, perhaps he doesn't know anything about FWM and as she said way back, he was her 'human pet.'
"Pet," Aizawa muttered in Japanese, thinking about the relationship between FWM and Wyatt and consider if he was a literal pet or someone loyal to the FWM.
He shook the idea since he didn't want to know more about Wyatt, but more about the FWM.
"Can you tell me about the FWM?" Aizawa revert to a language that the boy can understand.
"Good idea," Wyatt said, as though an idea came from his head, "Masta can fix it, I'll go to Masta, thank you for the talk, Wyatt needs to go."
And with that, the boy paced fast, passing by the teacher and walked up to the FWM, who almost joined the conversation until Wyatt left.
There was still a mystery about the FWM, but there was one thing that he knows form this conversation.
Wyatt is playing along with his master and he has no idea about the FWM's true motive.
5:32
For most of the time, there wasn't much noise at the cinema, a lot of people were thinking about everything that happened in the previous film and the FWM's speech, it was a sensitive topic that they didn't consider or thought of until a few moments ago.
But it's not just the heroes that are thinking about them, but also the villains. Especially when FWM brought up on how Shigaraki isn't doing much to change society for the League of Villains.
As a result, his members had many thoughts on the topic. But there was one topic that made everyone in the League question their motives.
"Are we really changing society?"
Everyone turns to the vampire girl, who had concerns about her group.
"All I wanted from the world is to make it a freer place, I hoped this group was aiming to make it freer, and it felt free, but after hearing the girl and how his plans aren't getting closer to changing society, how can we follow him after that?"
From the words of Toga, some of the League of Villains thought about the plans of their group and the actions of their leader, Dabi, Twice, Spinner and Compress thought about it, they have mixed feeling and have their own reasons to stay in the League, but overall, their collective motive is to make the world a better place by waking everyone up from the corruption that is heroes.
"Shigaraki has a lot to learn Toga," Kurogiri said, "especially when he lost his sensei, he's trying to figure it all out by himself."
"So, he's just making it all up as he goes along?" Spinner questioned.
"I have to agree with Spinner," Dabi said, "someone with recently thought plans is doomed to fail, I think we need to figure out what we need to do. Heck, most of the MCU villains managed to do it and almost accomplished them, why can't we?"
"And that's what Shigaraki is trying to figure out."
"Yeah, but he would try to do something that would help the heroes rather than help society." Toga said, standing up, "at this point, I don't think Shigaraki is seeing the same motive as us, so perhaps we can try and do something about it."
"What are you proposing Toga," Kurogiri said, curious about what the girl villains are thinking.
"If we're going to figure out how to change society, we need to figure out how we can change it, how we can achieve it, and since All Might is gone, it would be more difficult. But we'll figure something out."
"Why not now?" Compress asked.
"Well we don't have to worry about it now, we literally have plenty of time before we return home."
"Perhaps after watching the next film, we should talk to Shigaraki about the future of the League." Dabi suggested, "if he's learning, he has to first listen to his members."
"And if he refuses or tries to attack us?" Spinner points out a possibility.
"Then his true motives would be clear to us and the FWM would be right about him."
0:15
At the near end of the break, people walked back to the entrance of the screen room, hoping that the next film doesn't have a lot to think about.
Izuku looked up at the name of the next film. Which reads 'MCU 10 – Guardians of the Galaxy'.
"Finally, some new heroes," Shinso said while walking into the screen room, "for a second I thought all of the heroes come from or friends with the Avengers."
"Sounds like space-themed heroes," the green hair student said as he takes his seat, relaxes and put up his notes ready to record everything he sees within the next film.
