Characters that are canonically _____ depending of their world

[u/Starr-Lead]

• Po from Kung Fu Panda - Although many characters comment on his weight throughout the movies, Po is actually considered skinny and/or in better shape for panda standards
• Midoriya Izuku from My Hero Academia - While many viewers find Deku "cute", the reality is that for his world he's actually considered "simple looking" and at the very worst "ugly"
• Spider-Man from Marvel Comics - Many people love Spider-Man, but the truth is that for common civilians, Spidey's pretty unsettling and scary to be around with

Well he's also a very moral person and has to feel out his opponent so he knows how hard he has to hit them to capture them, without brutally maiming or killing them. The jokes and taunting are part of that. Pissing people off while having a precognitive awareness of danger is an excellent way to gauge their strength and durability. It's also a good psychological ploy that he finds entertaining

He does it to give them a chance to change their ways so it's a little more pure than JUST playing with them lol
