History Narm / Coyote

* Riley's constant chewing out of other characters for the sake of "realism" reaches utterly ridiculous levels when he calls out ''[[IdealHero All]] [[TheParagon Might]]'' for supposedly being careless when he used his Texas Smash to take down the Sludge Villain with Riley and Deku nearby, and this happens in the '''second chapter'''. In general, the idea of a MagicalNativeAmerican named after and based on [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Wile E. Coyote]] with a ToonPhysics Quirk arguing on the grounds of "realism" (and you're supposed to take his points seriously) is [[HypocriticalHumor pretty amusing in its own right]].

** There's also the chapter where he deliberately tries to offend what is implied to be transgender people (although only called "counter-culture"), implying that his intense empathy and how it affects his powers only extends to those he personally likes and agrees with.

* The story continuously referring to Izuku and Riley as BloodBrothers. It's supposed to be a sign about how close they are, but its repetition ends up giving the impression that the author is worried that the reader might forget that the two of them value each other deeply and/or the fact that Riley is Native American (even though Native Americans didn't actually participate in blood brother ceremonies, those details are from the works of Creator/KarlMay which had very inaccurate and stereotypical portrayals of indigenous people).

* It is utterly laughable that Riley [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't consider working on the fact that he is so averse to actually harming a person (physically or emotionally) with his Quirk,]] that he subconsciously weakens himself, before applying to become a hero, a job where he is most likely going to have to cause harm to someone. It also brings the rather amusing mental image of villains like Shigaraki [[WeaksauceWeakness making Riley incapable of fighting]] by explaining their [[FreudianExcuse tragic backstories]] to him.

* The AuthorTract becomes especially blatant in Chapter 4 where it mostly consists of Izuku lecturing most of his class how they can use their Quirks more efficiently with support tech. He evidently shows more understanding of how their Quirks work than they do even though they've had them for years [[CriticalResearchFailure (some of his reasoning contradicts canon]] and only seems to be put in so the author can voice his complaints through Izuku).

* Riley telling Todoroki that his Quirk is his own and not his father's is really undermined by the juvenile jokes Riley cracks throughout the scene, in contrast to Izuku telling it Shoto straight in canon.
