Yeah the first half of the series is incredibly tight, then it meanders in the later bits because it doesn't know where it wants to go with the plot. Felt like the ending was somewhat half hearted and forced as well. Standard Kirkman affair

And you’re right, the ending felt contrived to get to the ending he wanted.

Pls no ban-erino X-O-senpai!!  Boku no Hero Academia (ch. 3) The setup: Our protagonist was born into a society where virtually everyone has a superpower, known as Quirks (think Top Ten). He's one of the very few born completely normal and spends his entire life ostracized and bullied for being Quirkless. Eventually, through a combination of bravery and stupidity, he impresses the #1 Hero in the World, who reveals that he was also born Quirkless and that his power is actually secretly passed down from generation to generation and he is looking for an heir. Taking the kid under his wing, he spends months giving him the most rigorous physical training possible in order to shape his body into a vessel able to contain this awesome power. The kid, for his part, is nothing if not optimistic, diligent, and humble. The day of the entrance exam to the Hero University arrives and the power is passed down, but there's no time for him to get used to it, so he basically runs the exam Quirkless, and proceeds to be unable to score a single point. When he arrived at the exam site, he nearly tripped over his own feet in awe and was "saved" from embarrassment by a passing girl who can make object weightless by touching them. Time is winding down on the exam. Can our Hero prevail?        Yup. Shattered both legs and one whole arm, and is now going to fall a hundred feet to some pretty gnarly pavement. Good luck, kid.

I want to say the anime adds in semi official side stories the original didn't include for space and time restrictions, like Froppy's internship. But i'm not absolutely certain of that.

But i'm not absolutely certain of that. What usually happens is Popular Manga Series gets picked up to become Popular Anime Series, but the anime usually catches up to the manga pretty quickly so all the big long running shonen series do side stories to allow the manga to push ahead a bit. Couple of big examples are Rurouni Kenshin, and One Piece. In the case of BNHA they just like fleshing out the side characters a bit more, because there's at least 3-4 more seasons worth of manga to cover before the anime catches up. However there is an official side story manga called Vigilantes, that deals with a different set of characters in the same universe, but is not written by the main author. http://bokunoheroacademia.wikia.com/wiki/Vigilante_-_My_Hero_Academia:_Illegals As for anime movies, whatever happens in them never has any impact on the main series whatsoever (In only a few rare cases)

TwoPair posted:Supposedly the recent movie is canon according to the author but I'll believe it when I see it That's also usually just Marketing 101 when they go on press junkets. Unless you see it referred to in the manga, take it with a grain of salt. Even then it will usually be a "Remember that thing we did on that island?" throw away comment (Which makes it cannon) The anime series may treat it differently because they timed the movie release inline with the Season 3 ending.

Deku was basically Breaks-His-Arms Kid before remembering he had legs and started kicking things. (Body armor and learning how to evenly distribute his power helped too).

Secret Weapons #4. So Valiant has its own megalomaniac counterpart of Charles Xavier and this book is about the people rejected from his institute for having worthless powers. Like a guy whose only ability is to make anything inanimate he touches glow. Of our main characters, there's Nikki (can communicate with birds), Avichal (can turn himself into unbreakable stone, though it makes him immobile) and Owen. Owen's deal is that he conjures objects, both on purpose and randomly, and he can't choose what the object is. It always seems like something worthless in regards to the situation, but as the reader goes further and further into the book, it becomes more apparent that these objects are imperative to his survival, usually in a roundabout way. They're being hunted by a creature named Rex-0, who wants to kill them and steal their powers.      (Nikki's okay!)

In City of Heroes I had a character who could summon objects and throw them at people. Sometimes it would be a shopping cart or a gas cylinder but now and then you'd get a nice one like a car or a pool table and then it was CLOBBERIN' TIME.

I couldn't decide whether to put this here or in the funny thread but I'll settle on here. So, Spider-Geddon #5, a little setup: There are these evil vampire people called the Inheritors who hop from universe to universe feeding exclusively on the life energy of Spider-People. They're way stronger than any spider and have basically only two weaknesses: radiation, and piercing weapons. There's been a plan for the last couple of issues that they can use Japanese Spider-Man's giant robot Leopardon's Sword Vigor attack to wipe them out. (There's also a running gag where Doc Ock has to convince him to use the sword first, mocking the tendency of toku/sentai/giant robot shows to only use their most powerful attacks as finishers). Oh, and Miles Morales has become Captain Universe.   (cut to later in the issue)   (Don't worry, they patch Leopardon up at the end of the issue)

From Spider-Verse 1 #2, the Anarchist Spider-Man is using a van packed tight with the most powerful speakers they can cram into it to fight the Venom-enhanced forces of tyranny and oppression. Look at the sound effects. Look at what he's playing.

 "you know morlun? I love that guy. what if there was like an entire universe of just him, like, a legion of morluns?" "dude what if there was an entire multiverse of him, every possible version of him working together! Crossing worlds to...to...what does he do?" "mostly fight Spiderman" "to fight spider men! People! All the spider people anywhere!"I can only imagine that's how the conversation went.
