Calibanibal posted:if all-might doesnt have an on-again off-again love interest superheroine who just hasnt been introduced yet, i will eat my hat Which is kinda sad. On the other hand this manga is so far really bad with relationships to the point of kinda parodying western comics so maybe that's for the best.

All Might killed his wife and stored the body in a refrigerator that he had Deku clean up off of the beach.

Spiderdrake posted:I feel like anything romantic All-Might may have in this manga will be played like Aizawa's stuff, ie, as a joke. I mean, the only bit of romantic relationships we have so far is Deku and Ochako mutually crushing on each other and Toga being messed up. I don't know if i'd call that "really bad".

Eri's rewind maguffin won't matter after this fight is over - It's not like Deku is going to spend the rest of the series with her stuffed in his backpack.

PMush Perfect posted:This whole arc feels like a filler movie. The only characters who're having consequences are the ones introduced during it, and the main villains are clowning all over the new guys. This arc is almost half of the chapters in the entire series of you count from the start of their internship, 1/3 if you only count from the start of the raid. It's been stupidly dragged out.

dekus only 100% and not blowing his body up from eri, im positive he wont touch this for at least 3 more arcs and im being super conservative, this has been pretty drat good about power scaling so far and if we're gonna keep it honest stain had way less time of build up and just showed up and started killing heroes and it only got tied to the main plot from iidas brother i feel there was stretched in this arc earlier on but nothing from chisaki being a empty villain and more i think from the anime taking horikoshis time or him waiting on certain chapters for things to happen for number reference (either this arc is gonna show how the league of villains is better from teamwork or chisaki gets intertwined with either them or stain if he gets tossed in jail) and with stuff like mirio and deadlock and fatgums fight at the end and not when it was stretched to hell was pretty snazzy (even sky captain just kinda got dumped on us then left and still hasnt came back and nobody said poo poo about him)

Dude, I'd be happy to re-read Fat-Gum and Kirishima's fight or Tamaki's 1 v 3 fight. His morphing based on what he eats is one of the most fun powers.

It might actually read well as a finished arc. Read week to week, the slow pace is very amplified.

It's way easier to just spout bullshit. EDIT: For my part, I think the arc's a bit overlong but may read better once it's completed. Thriller Barque and Skypeia in One Piece felt the same way to me at first, too, and now the latter is probably my favorite arc in that story.

PMush Perfect posted:It might actually read well as a finished arc. Read week to week, the slow pace is very amplified. Gotta say I caught up with the series only recently after blitzing the series in a few days and honestly this arc hasn't felt that off. Like, yeah, it's been longer but that's come with introducing some objectively (okay, subjectively) fun characters (Dragon lady, Fatgum, the Big 3) and some, 'eh okay' villains. It's one of the criticisms I've not really understood reading this thread about Chisaki and the yakuza not being actual characters. They're shallow and mostly one note but that kind of feels like some of the other bad guys. The big guy Midoriya takes out at the training camp was just big beefy dude who wanted to punch poo poo and Moon Fish was a rad design and little more. Chisaki's crew mostly seems to fall into this realm of shallow fodder which is good, in my opinion, as the fights this arc have mostly been about the hero characters embracing their ideas of heroism. Kirashima felt like he wasn't up to scratch and pushed himself hard and Tamaki had his low confidence to deal with. You don't need to give them well rounded opponents to take on as the main heart of those fights is dealing with themselves. Chisaki himself is by no means a well formed character. He reminds me of an Alan Moore anecdote about early attempts to give super heroes depth so one writer give his character a limp. In this case it's being a germaphobe. It's real dumb but makes for a kind of cool visual motif for the gang. His power is ridiculous and he's not really got personality but he has more so than some of the other villains we've seen. I like that this also addresses how organised crime was changed by Quirks which was a nice bit of world building. Don't get me wrong, I find him kind of boring but I kind of feel that way about all the villains in this series other than Twice, Shigaraki and Toga. Long and short of it; the villains this arc are shallow but I think that suits the narrative of our main characters better. We don't need to be getting into yet more people deeper stories. The hallways is still strung out but felt in the moment no more drawn out than the Trail of Bravery set up at the training camp. Eri is complicated and I'm just happy to sit and see how things pan out. The girls group could have been handled way better but plenty has been said on that as is.

My biggest issue with this arc is that before it went down the villain came off like one of those "I have plans behind plans nothing ever goes wrong because I even win by losing" sorta guys, then he just sorta...is actually cornered by normal investigative work, fights like a normal dude and is in the process of getting clowned. This might be more on me than on the arc itself though. Just seemed like the kind of villain he was being set up as and, I don't know? Just felt off. That and also if Mirio's quirk really *does* get erased forever. Like, he's a really cool character so if he's shafted immediately after introduction that will feel pretty lame. I figure he's getting his quirk back soon if not immediately though, given Eri's quirk. Also in fairness, for as much as I complain about the usual spotlight stealing squad, I'll be damned if I'm not missing Todoroki and Bakugou.

I read the Whitebeard War arc in One Piece in like a day and it's probably the reason I'm not too hot on that arc lol

You forget a lot more than you realize in those weeks. Not only that but if you're not quite feeling an arc then a weekly or greater pacing (Berserk...) can multiply those feelings and make you feel the pacing is worse than if you read it in a volume release. If you're not feeling an arc I think it's best to take a step back, let it run ahead a bit consume it in greater batches. Might not help, might make it read better. It's hard though because obviously there's a natural urge to stay current with other fans and the fun of talking about it while its fresh but if you're finding the enjoyment of the comic isn't there at the time its worth a try. Or just stick with it and share the harsher criticisms. S'all good. quote:My biggest issue with this arc is that before it went down the villain came off like one of those "I have plans behind plans nothing ever goes wrong because I even win by losing" sorta guys, then he just sorta...is actually cornered by normal investigative work, fights like a normal dude and is in the process of getting clowned. This might be more on me than on the arc itself though. Just seemed like the kind of villain he was being set up as and, I don't know? Just felt off. I buy this complaint but I also kind of like it. Look at Shigiraki. He wants to be this "The truth is that justice is just the will of those with power!" anti-hero and, to me anyway, comes off as the 13 year old boy who's realised he doesn't have to listen to his dad. I might be way, way off base in how I read this character but I kind of like this idea that the series is embracing the idea of his perceived self and his actual self (something that is clearly a theme for so many other characters). In the same light Chisaki thinks himself this chess master who is brings the world of organised crime into the world of super villainy and in the end it's mundane police work from the world he thinks he's beyond that is his major downfall with the Supers just there to help apprehend him. I'm probably giving it more credit than it's due though and it doesn't stop him from being underwhelming for the most part.

He may not be completely wrong about this, but it's a bit rich coming from a guy who drew porn of characters from 19th-century kids' books.

Shiggy's true motivation to me is just a really, really deep bitterness that All Might and his brand of justice are so worshiped when All Might didn't save him when he really, desperately needed it.
