You know what really bugs me about the anime filler? Because of how Tsuyu passed, that means she now has a less-cool pass than Mineta. Mineta actively contributes to ensuring the entire class passes, while Tsuyu is literally carried to victory. There is no justice in this world

Except that they weren't scored on the first part of the exam. The government agency had already decided to focus on teams and team building, that was why the exam was structured that way. Didn't matter if someone got carried through the first part since that meant that they were part of a team strong enough as a whole to pass.

Their scoring occurs in the second part and that's where Tsuyu really shined. They don't reveal her ultimate score but considering she goes camo and knocks out a large group of villains (ch 113) as well as actively took part in the rescue of all the civilians (chapter 111 "We're not done rescuing this area but... it's not like we can pretend we didn't just see that...") I bet her final score was higher even then Midoriya's. He having lost a lot of points for stopping to say that sucks when told about the trapped grandfather as well as not checking on that kid's headwound immediately.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if Tsuyu ended up with a near perfect score considering her roles in all phases of the second exam. Momo got a 94 yet she wasn't seen doing anything to slow down gang orca (she is shown carrying a HUC victim away from the fight).

What the hell does scoring have to do with Mineta for an instant being cooler than Tsuyu is? Who the gently caress cares if she got 100 billion%. In the end, Mineta directly came to the aid of and assisted 8 other members of his class pass the first exam, and Tsuyu was literally carried through it in a bundle. Mineta was cooler than Tsuyu. If you don't have a problem with the fact Mineta was cooler than Tsuyu, that's fine. I do.

In the USJA arc, Mineta was cornerstone of the plan to defeat the water villains, while Tsuyu just hopped around and almost got killed.
In Sport Festival arc, Mineta and Tsuyu were part of same team that Mineta came up with.
In Final Exams, Tsuyu got captured, threw up and won on technicality, while Mineta won 1v1 against a teacher and then carried his teammate through finish line, literaly soloing the exam.

The truth is, Mineta was always cooler than Tsuyu.

It’s a joke. I am actually pro-Tsuyu.

Britta is from the live action show Community from some years back, who started out as kinda smart and somewhat on top of things but by season 3 was the biggest idiot on the show barring Chevy Chase.

The show, in addition, decided that the character was funnier as just a massive fuckup to the point where people would use her name as a synonym for loving up.

That sounds bad but she was really boring before so it honestly worked. I really liked that show.

They also made a running gag out of other characters calling her the worst. (The opposite of Batman! The AT&T of people!)

If I remember right, she was kind of disliked early on, so they played into it by having the characters agree. It's not a guaranteed trick to make the audience like a character they hated, but it works better than most of the alternatives.

Mineta is honestly one the students with the strongest focus and has definitely done more than most of the characters outside of the core cast (other than Momo and Kirishima, maybe Aoyama). Implying Uraraka's a bad character because she is poor and wants money for her family is real loving dumb though.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
Mineta also has objectively one of the strongest abilities in the class. His orbs can do area denial, seal movement, cushion impacts, and allow him to easily climb areas. Until we see anyone actually overcome their adhesion Mineta will always find a way to make himself useful regardless of how disgusting of a gnome he is.

really the only girls with revealing costumes are Momo and Hagekure, and the latter is invisible

In the drawn/animated form bodysuits look less revealing than stuff that shows actual skin. In real life this is obviously not the case, but still.

This is somewhat disingenuous, given that Tsuyu saved Deku and Mineta's lives and kicked a shark villain in the face at USJ. They literally would have been fish food without her. She also pulled Tokoyami out of danger in the exams, and similarly helped Uraraka during the school trip. (And also had to be helped by them herself, but, teamwork and such is A Thing in this series.) And, as underwhelming as Horikoshi made it when the flashback revealed how it actually went down, she worked with Uraraka to beat up that one dude and came to Deku's rescue by breaking a hole in the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Mineta spent all of USJ crying and had to be talked into contributing rather than giving up and waiting for death, and while it was a legit victory would have lost during the finals immediately if Sero hadn't sacrificed himself to save him, much like how he would have died at USJ if not for Tsuyu. I think he cried there too, actually. Then at the school trip he did literally nothing except try to perv on the girls, and has not been relevant since outside of gags and being a pervert. Like when he tried to creep on the six year old.

Mineta was never, ever cool.

Edit: Him being all "we have such sights to show you" during the dorm thing was legitimately funny, to be fair, as was the joke about his arms being too short for him to play guitar during the cultural festival. His presence in the latter was still overall a net negative though, between his perviness just being an accepted thing now by the other students and him, again, perving on the six year old girl.

They're all cops, you are reading a manga about cops the government sanctions, you are reading a story about children who idolize and want to become cops, about a hero who is so cop that people mostly stopped committing crimes. If you have an issue with the lawful good, cop protagonists, then I'm sorry but this series is not going to bend over backwards as they get officially licensed and governmental powers, a wage, and perform their jobs. Of Being Cops. The villains are all anarchists who want to take down The Man.

His crying in the finals was deliberate, to get Midnight to chase him rather than parking herself at the exit gate.

Most of them make sense really. Tsuyu's is literally just a themed wetsuit. She's almost certainly going to try to work in watery areas. Momo's however fanservicey (her original design looks better IMO despite basically being a thong and overall showing more skin) works for her quirk.

Mina and Jirou's is more of a thematic thing with their actual gear being addons (Mina's special boots, Jirou's various attached amps). Uraraka's is really just kinda dumb looking but she has a lot of addons for controlling her nausea (nevermind that it's homeopathy-tier poo poo like pressure points).

Rereading the chapters, his inner monologue makes it seem like his epiphany, determination, and plan come partway through the test, well after he was bawling his eyes out (between a mix of fear of Midnight and jealousy of Sero), though I suppose it can be taken either way. It's irrelevant to my overall point anyway, which is that pretty much all of Tsuyu's listed "bad points" there can apply to Mineta, and also, well, most of the heroes; everyone's had their rear end pulled out of the fire at least once. If you aren't going to hold it against Mineta that he needed Sero to sacrifice himself to pass the exam, I don't think it's fair to judge Tsuyu for nearly getting murked by Shigaraki, the main villain of the series. (Also, in an amusing coincidence that I just noticed tabbing back over to those pages again, despite that list painting Tsuyu's plan to beat Ectoplasm as a bad thing, Mineta actually wound up vomiting in that arc himself.)

My other main point is that Mineta is disgusting and even his one cool moment, beating Midnight, was lessened by him being a pervert during it, lamenting about how much he wants to touch girls and being jealous of the dude who saved his rear end for lying (unconscious) in their teacher's lap. Between stuff like that and how often he gropes and spies on the girls against their will (such as when he latched onto Momo's rear end during the sports festival) and such, there's no way his future as a professional hero doesn't involve him molesting the female criminals he captures. Also possibly his fans, if he somehow has any. But that isn't exactly a new topic.
