My Hero Academia Episode 36 Review
Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Despite feeling a bit rushed in service of cramming so many exams into a single episode, "Stripping the Varnish" delivers a few moments of clever comedy and provides some welcomed character development for one of My Hero Academia's most criticized and polarizing characters.
As someone who isn't particularly fond of Mineta's perverted antics, I was admittedly concerned his fight with Sero against Midnight would lean further into that shallow direction for the sake of a cheap laugh or two. While the battle initially appears to start off that way—with Mineta upset that Sero has been knocked out and pressed up against Midnight's body—the backstory we get for Mineta and the surprising turn of events that conclude the exam make the character far more likable than he's been in the past.

The filmmaker wanted to do a grittier take on the Caped Crusader and first pitched the idea to Warner Bros. back in 1999. According to Frank Miller, Aronofsky's "vision of Batman was darker than" his own. So much so, Aronofsky even wanted Batman to torture his enemies.

In an unusual move for him, he also appeared as Molly Ringwald's father in Pretty in Pink.
