“You barely noticed me? That was all part of the trick! For when it mattered – for that time – you need to keep an ace up your sleeve!”
Such are the words Mr. Compress, the most anonymous member of the League, utters as he takes the spotlight for the first time in six years. I honestly can’t decide whether that’s a clever move on the character’s part – keeping everything about himself close to the chest until the last second to get a jump on the heroes – or if it’s just the show’s cheeky way of excusing how it left all of his character development for the 11th hour. Maybe it’s both. Regardless, that’s the justification our masked magician delivers as he’s (literally) spilling his guts in a desperate bid to help Shigaraki and the others escape.
It’s a wild little twist to append to the end of this conflict, but what’s most interesting to me is the insight…
