Considering Shigaraki's present mental state, I think we've skipped straight to All for Three.

people definitely overplay it for whatever reason but the series has basically already reached its narrative conclusion and is just kinda dragging it out. its like a rollercoaster where youre just sitting at the top waiting for it to start going down. every week this drags on is just testing peoples patience more. it will probably read better when its fully over and people can just blitz through these chapters, but i still dont understand the point of a lot of the decisions being made in this final battle, unless its just someone telling horikoshi to keep this going as long as possible.

I enjoy the series as a whole (Hell, I play one's justice 2 from time to time), but it's just a shame that it's been so rushed.

The series is spinning its wheels for some sort of climax that is starting to seem like the author is not entirely sure how it will land so is padding to delay. It's not the worst thing ever but the series had some seriously good stuff before and the drop off is noticable. It's kind of a bummer so it's going to garner more grousing than if it had always been around this level.

A lot of posters in this thread used to consider MHA to be extremely good, so it going downhill and kind of sputtering out pisses people off a lot more than if it had always been mediocre to bad, so they tend to exaggerate when talking about it being the worst thing ever.

also MHA being pretty good (and, just as importantly, heavily hyped) early on means it probably has a decent number of readers who don't otherwise read much shonen (esp. contemporary shonen) and in turn have a different yardstick for what they consider "bad shonen" (it's interesting that this thread often turns to comparisons to dbz/bleach/naruto instead of comparing to e.g. JJK or black clover or demon slayer)

I find a lot of these developments to be pretty lame and this series still gets more rope with me just because I know it's not going to take 1/4th of the manga to wrap it up.

Disappointment and disillusionment cut deeper than if it just sucked from the beginning. (See: Bleach, Nart) For a more recent example: The same thing happened in late demon slayer to an extent, where the obviously rushed final arc blunted most everything good about the series.

I think i may have said this before but MHA's protracted downfall has made me appreciate and be thankful for the rushed but still relatively graceful way Demon Slayer handled its final arc. Sure, it was probably too much being shoved in at the end, but at least those individual elements felt like they were the logical endpoint for those characters and story beats, and everything important got its due.

I think the current problem with MHA is that it feels like nothing's actually happening; issues pop up and then are resolved without any significant characterization or plot development, rendering the chapter or three in which the issue matters irrelevant Bakugo's dead! Except he's getting a jeart. Star and Stripe is here to save the day! Except she's dead. Stain's got important info! Except the info is outdated an arc later. The Todorokis are fighting! Except Dabi just shrugs it all off for the REAL final fight. All for One is wounded! Except he's rewinding himself so the damage doesn't matter. Shigaraki's getting blasted by the big three! Except he's going full Akira and regenerating from whatever's done to him.

I just wanna see cool poo poo at this point and it's not delivering. I don't even hate it, I just want it to stop stalling. What even is The Plan with regard to Lord Exploded Heart right now? Are they expecting him to just pop right back up and do something the three of them couldn't manage?

When kimetsu finished it felt like the author wanted to get it over with and hit the points that they needed as quickly as possible. MHA feels like the author has some key points he wants to do, but on some of them doesn't know how to do them. So some feel like footnotes on how quickly they happen and get forgotten and other feel like they drag out. It does not make for good weekly reading.

I will be interested in re-reading all this when it's all done. The pacing isn't helped by literal real world waiting for fictional world waiting.

The recent chapter was fun but it took an intolerably long amount of "lol isn't it funny someone is playing panchinko and people keep talking about how amazing their luck is" to get there. Also it took the coolest female character besides Maki and had her die a stupid 'death' which is either infinitely lamer than anything that has happened to a MHA character or has shelved her for literally years for no reason. Edit: It's better than MHA right now but still losing me ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Sep 7, 2022 |

The recent chapter was fun but it took an intolerably long amount of "lol isn't it funny someone is playing panchinko and people keep talking about how amazing their luck is" to get there. The fights don't feel like they're moving things forward much, either. It's just fight scene after fight scene, rather than fight scenes building to larger plot progression. Which is kind of a problem with the Shigaraki fights here. Endeavor versus All for One and Shoto versus Dabi don't feel as bad because there's at least a chance they'll win, and that the fights we see have a point. But we know that Deku and Shigaraki are going to have a showdown, so it's hard to care what's happening while everyone else stalls for Deku, especially because they're not fighting to stall with Deku a known distance away, but fighting to win... when we know they won't win, due to the nature of the story.
