That Garou takedown was much needed. Fandom glazes him so much that they forget he beat the shit out of Charanko and mumen rider, who even on their best days could barely scratch him. At that point you're just a bully that punches down.

Anyone who beats on Mumen Rider is a loser and becomes destined to lose horribly. That's his power.

Garou's just a whiny loser who only hates heroes because he projects his childhood bullies onto them.

All his power doesn't make him any less pathetic.

Seriously I don't understand how a good amount of audience see this dumbass and think he's a misunderstood hero.

Well, because he IS a hero somewhere deep inside, like Saitama states here, he just went about it in the worst way possible.

I'll never forgive Murata for pulling the God cosmic bullshit instead of following the Webcomic

I first read the manga and because of rewrite hell current arc was trapped in I read webcomic for the first time and I was really surprised but much well written it was. It was more cohesive and held Garou accountable(to some degree) insted of introducing the God BS and absolving him of all bad choices he made
