I Don't Like All Might.
Today, I woke up and decided to choose death; so here I am, sharing my dislike for All Might.
I don't dislike All Might because he's a bad person (he's not); I don't dislike him because he's a bad teacher (he's...average) or because he's a bad mentor (...), but how the Manga/Anime handles All Might.
-----
All Might and Izuku's Relationship:
Let's just quickly admit it to ourselves, no matter how much you love All Might, that he isn't made for mentoring. The man is literally the greatest hero of all time, but that doesn't mean he has the qualifications to teach a child how to be a hero - and it shows.
All Might and Izuku's first meeting is on a rooftop, not only does All Might tell a teenage boy his dream is impossible due to his genetics, but he also tells Izuku that his smiles are all fake to hide his own terror. All Might told a 14 year old boy that he, the symbol of peace and greatest hero of all time, is scared - right after explaining that his time of being a hero is running out.

Adults shouldn't disclose adult, personal topics to children THEY DON'T KNOW. They shouldn't tell a child THEY DONT KNOW to "see reality" and ruin their dreams - this isn't All mights job; he isn't Izuku's teacher or parent here. And he did all of this on a ROOFTOP and didn't even bother to see Izuku down safely.
All Might rewarded and encourage Izuku's recklessness and lack of self care of his own life - something that becomes a common occurrence for Izuku.

Was what Izuku did a good thing? Yes. Izuku saved another life; but, he put himself in a dangerous situation just for the possibility of success. While Izuku shouldn't be condemned for his actions of heroism, he shouldn't be put on a pedestal and told that putting his life in risk saved Katsuki. And, to top it off, All Might gives Izuku his quirk for such behavior. All Might never explains to Izuku why this behavior isn't healthy and shouldn't be repeated.
All Might offers up his quick to Izuku, a 14 year old, impressionable child who idealizes and romanticizes hero work. He never mentions AFO. How dangerous hero work actually is. How much extra danger Izuku will be put in by mentoring underneath All Might. And the side effects of OFA (Note: All Might does make a comment about Izuku's limbs flying if he used OFA as he was. But, only AFTER, Izuku accepted and started training. And he didn't mention of OFA would hurt Izuku after his training.) Oh. And no one tells Inko. Allow me to repeat that: NO ONE TELLS THE MOTHER OF THE CHILD WHO JUST ACCEPTED A DANGEROUS QUIRK AND POSSIBLE DEADLY MENTORING ABOUT SAID QUIRK AND MENTORING. Right. Okay.

(Note: I can't find the exact manga panel where Izuku lies to his mother about OFA, so here are a few people talking about it.)

Shocker, but 14 year olds aren't mentally capable of understanding how dangerous or life altering it can be to accept such an offer All Might gives Izuku. All Might should have waited. Should have talked to Inko first. Should have taken a second thought before impulsively offering Izuku something that could have potentially killed him. And NO ONE TELLS INKO.

I only went two volumes in and this is the massive load of shit All Might has already collected - and I only focused on Izuku and All Might's relationship.
But these reasons aren't why I dislike All Might. No. I dislike All Might because he never gets punished - Izuku does; And that's just so fucking sad and so fucking wrong.
Anyways, peace out losers. Maybe I'll be back for another round of beating up All Might. Who knows.
