Kudou looking into the vault and seeing someone who needed help, Izuku looking deeper into Tomura and seeing someone who needed help
Izuku and Kudou wanting to save the people who are trapped by AFO's control, and in a way, both kinda already helped AFO's victims escape his reach, even if just a little (Kudou saving Yoichi and giving him a safe place to stay for 2 months before he died, Izuku punching a hole through Tomura's body and this being the thing that helps him overcome the possession)
Though I expect there's going to be more saving from Izuku's side of things :) all in due time

Some tasteless guys got over-excited about a new AI toy (it looks like a fun toy, but just a toy). So other people are all angry at them, again, and talking about “art.”
Sometimes people say things about art that’s really inspiring, in these conversations, and that’s really cool. But then other times, despite all that, I find myself wondering if underlying premise-- that "something being art instead of computer generated pap matters”... If that premise doesn’t presuppose a world where images and words have meaning and significance, because we listen to one another, because we're in a community with one another, and are not profoundly alienated from one another while under the thumb of larger forces that are openly hostile to our actual interests.
After the last five months of world news, that seems like a pretty silly thing to think. After the last five months, it seems like we’re not in any kind of community, at all-- that we’re the entirely powerless and disconnected subjects of a psychopathic state that ignore the “will of the electorate” as a rule not an exception, where “art” is more often than not just content meant to distract us from the fact that the very act of believing in a common humanity has been rendered entirely laughable, among other things.
Put another way, I’m not sure I can convince myself as much as other people can that it matters if AI wrote the final season of a hypothetical Netflix television show, either way, if the hypothetical Netflix actors spent the last five months supporting the incessant murder of children. Hypothetically. An AI might be preferable to imagine, rather than contemplating the kind of person who would soldier on under those circumstances, or their brother.
It seems strange to leave out “what’s the state of the world” when pretending that art exists in some truly meaningful and ongoing way, which people in these conversations assume. Is that a good assumption to make anymore? I don’t know, that’s just something I wonder about sometimes. I’m probably wrong. Luckily we have the movies of 2024 to prove I don’t know what I’m talking about, and prove that art still matters, like Kung Fu Panda 4, Road House: The Remake, Ghostbusters 5, Godzilla vs King Kong 3, The Omen: The Prequel, Woody Woodpecker 3D, The Fall Guy: The Movie Based on the 1980's TV Show, Planet of the Apes: Another One, The Strangers: The Prequel, Mad Max: 5, The Garfield Movie Reboot, Inside Out 2, Bad Boys 4, Quiet Place: The Prequel, Despicable Me 4, Beverly Hills Cop 4, Twister 2, Deadpool 3, Borderlands: The Movie Based on the Video Game Franchise, Alien: Another One, Kraven the Spider-Man Villain, Beetlejuice 2, Transformers: The Prequel, Saw 11, Joker 2, Venom 3, Gladiator 2, Moana 2, Wizard of Oz: the Prequel, The Lord of the Rings 4, Karate Kid 6, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, or Lion King: The Prequel. Sounds like a lot of art’s happening!!!! Let’s goooooo!
