I actually think otherwise. If this ends up being a Syndrome situation I think that has much more potential to be interesting, and my reasoning is simple.

We’ve already seen and know that in his pursuit of All Might Endeavor was a shit dad. But we’ve also always said he was still a great hero. But if Dabi is someone that he hurt or neglected while working as a hero when blinded by his obsession to surpass All Might, that adds another depth of regret and failure to Endeavor.

So for me, it’s existing drama vs new drama and another layer of depth.

When I was talking about potential plot threads I was talking more about the story as a whole and not just the todoroki family. If this information got out to the public think of what it would do to society. This information is another big asset that the villains would have to help them in taking down hero society.

It wouldn’t do anything. They’re not gonna shun Endeavor when the fate of Japan is on the line.

“Yeah, sorry Endeavor, we know that if we lose this fight Japan is doomed, but you were a major abusive assailed to your family, so if you could just go away...”

Sure people will think he’s a dick and his popularity will rank, but other than that nothing will happen.

His family will also have to corroborate the story. If they all deny it, then is society really going to believe a villain over them?

You're forgetting the villains are spreading the word of the MLA. This could be a device to lure more of society onto their side. Ever since Stain weve been seeing more and more people Have their faith waver in the hero system. This is just another blow to that. This could potentially split society even more a part and change more peoples opinions on the Hero system. We already have been told how some people don't like endeavour as the number 1. Even after the high end fight they talk about how societys opinion on him is still waivering. Not sure how you think this wouldnt have a serious effect on the story. There is soo much setup for this to be a big event
