Deku is far more powerful than any of the villains he's faced so far. The problem is that he isn't skilled or conditioned enough to use OfA without injury. It's a subtle difference, but MHA is about Deku becoming worthy of the gift he's received instead of simply proving to everyone how special he is (Bakugou). Izuku was a nothing doomed to a irrelevant life until All Might noticed him. That's why I'm hoping the plight of the powerless is the main theme of a future story arc.

CharlestheHammer posted:The 1,000,000 kind of solidifies just how typical Shonen protagonist he is. Whoever says MHA isn't typical shonen is a dumb baby who just wants a thing he likes to be something original. MHA doesn't tread much in the way of new ground (outside of the super hero theme adopted straight from Marvel) but it is a shonen done well, which is a relief after 10 years of terrible garbage. Well, some terrible garbage and some other fun stuff sprinkled in between. MHA's main attraction is that it hasn't lost the drive that begun it yet.

MHA is defined more by execution and charisma than originality IMO - and that's a perfectly fine thing to be.

I agree that MHA is a (very well executed) traditional shonen. I just don't agree that Deku is a standard shonen protagonist. Too smart, too socially awkward, too much in the way of consequences for his self-destructive tendencies. I'd say that in 1-A, Kirishima's closer to the traditional model. Book dumb, befriends everyone he meets, primarily powered by sheer dumb stubborn. (To be fair, sheer dumb stubborn is one of the primary items on UA's curriculum.) What's neat about Deku is that he manages to execute the necessary standard shonen hero beats while displaying a fairly different personality.

Spiritus Nox posted:MHA is defined more by execution and charisma than originality IMO - and that's a perfectly fine thing to be. Yeah, essentially. I will say though that there seems to be a big focus on authoritative figures being inexperienced and making wrong decisions. All Might almost feels like a secondary protagonist since he's coming to terms with losing his power, and is also very afraid of messing up as both Deku's mentor and as a teacher at UA. Deku's flashback with his mother explicitly being "you said the wrong thing to me that day" and her working through that to be a more supportive mother is also one.

Deku is insanely typical Shonen protagonist. Socially awkward, makes snap downright dumb decisions but in a fight is rather good at tactical poo poo. Makes a lot of friendship speeches or true hero speeches which are basically the same. The only real difference is we get more insight into his though process while most shonen intentionally hide it so it can be a reveal. Deku is the platonic ideal of the shonen protagonist.

Most shonen protagonists have a brashness that Deku completely lacks. Normal Deku is mumbly and reserved. Deku is only dumb and brash when it comes to saving people. His desire to do good is just that loving strong. Naruto, Goku and Luffy are dumb and brash all the time. Bakugo is the is the one that's headstrong and brash like a typical shonen protag, but it isn't tempered by that standard dumb kindness. Basically, Deku and Bakugo are the platonic ideal of a shonen protag split into two people.

A by the books protagonist for a by the book series. Having a more complex or different shonen character just wouldn’t work. The series needs a generic Shonen protagonist to function CharlestheHammer fucked around with this message at 00:20 on May 8, 2018 |

Initially gets by on pluck and determination to make up for lack of talent and finesse but not for lack of inheriting the strongest power in the world that he can tap into at a moment's notice at great personal risk. I really like MHA in a way Naruto never even came close to, but I'd never say it's the most original thing in the world. Horikoshi just knows how to structure and pace the story in a way that's both refreshing and impactful. Also for real, Deku is a great character and a good boy.

Initially gets by on pluck and determination to make up for lack of talent and finesse but not for lack of inheriting the strongest power in the world that he can tap into at a moment's notice at great personal risk. I mean, I'm not going to argue that Deku is some breathtakingly original or even super-deep character or anything, but I think calling him Green Naruto is a bit of a disservice. He's a lot quieter and more introspective than what I remember of Naruto (though to be fair I didn't ever really go past the Chuunin Exam arc), more concerned with other people, and less ostracized, especially after he makes it to UA where it's really only Bakugo who doesn't basically like the guy. His ambitions are a lot more outwardly focused, too - Naruto wanted to become Hokage at least in part to demand the respect of people who had ostracized him. It was at least partially a selfish thing. Deku, meanwhile, just straight up wants to help and inspire people for no real remarkable reason beyond having a good upbringing and people who inspired him. Like I said, there's a purity to Deku that I kind of admire, especially given how charismatic the story as a whole is.

Which is weird because both groups involved this season have made good openings and endings previously. They seem to be a fan of more light poppy/rocky stuff for the openings. I keep hoping for something like Jam Project or Man With A Mission or One OK Rock.
