Valentin posted:I don't even know what the reader is supposed to feel about this anymore. everyone got badly hosed up! no wait it's fine. okay time to have the exact same fight we would have had if deku didn't get teleported to the wrong place, forcing everyone to spin their wheels for twenty chapters. It was Mirio trying to keep Deku from flying into a berserker rage because the last time that happened, OfA almost got stolen.

Eh, I guess the upshot of all this is just that they'd originally planned for Deku to take on Shigaraki with some of the best backup they had, and now it's just him, Mirio, and the containment/quirk suppression team. On that note, how much longer do you think Shigaraki's quirks will stay suppressed? In terms of Ultimate Powers and Final Forms, they're not about to defeat Shigaraki in a state where he doesn't have access to his most signature move. It doesn't seem obvious how he's going to break containment, given if he could then he would've by now for sure, and now that Deku's around they ought to be able to keep him busy. Maybe more outside interference? Sleeper agents, or a fight going on somewhere else spreads over here?

I was in no way attempting to imply that Edgeshot was important or that his eventual death will somehow constitute 'stakes'. It's just very funny to me for Mirio to say "everyone's fine" under the circumstances.

There is no sense of just letting things play out in this thread. Just seeing folks talk about how we're never gonna get any resolutions and how awful everything was during the Overhaul arc, and how it reads better all in one go versus over time, and like... loving DUH. This will too. There is in fact more coming (at least a few weeks, but final arc is in year two now, so I don't think we're in a big hurry at this point), why moan about imaginary slights that haven't happened yet (ending here?!?). I understand that for whatever reason, some folks think this is the end all and be all fight we're preparing to see here. But considering we've seen that Dabi is still trucking and we haven't even popped back to Froppy and Uravity to deal with Toga or with the spies planted in UA, I think it's a little silly to treat this as the final set up for the final fight that's going to happen in the next two weeks. But by all means continue to cry about how terrible the pacing is.

Putting aside the fact that this is much less interesting than the Overhaul stuff ever got, this is a serialized story. It is designed to be consumed weekly. If it's not engaging in that mode, that's a serious issue. Things are constantly blowing up, but it feels like nothing's happening. It's the story equivalent of jingling keys in my face.

Destroying the shield or somehow incapacitating the quirk suppression squad will probably be the last thing AfO does before his old body finally succumbs to Rewind.

I've mostly just been peeking in on this thread now and then instead of actually reading it, but when it finishes I may read through from where I gave up initially (my interest soured around when deku got blackwhip) to the end and if I do i'll post my thoughts on how it reads straight through.

Oh, has it really been a week already?CuwiKhons posted:"We haven't lost a single thing," I mean Edgeshot is definitely going to die and Bakugo was clinically dead there for a hot minute. Miruko's lost a few more limbs and Amajiki's probably lost his will to live considering Shigarki no-sold his ultimate attack. To be fair, telling him that probably isn't the best way to calm him down.

So we're bound to be cutting away from this bit where the main hero and villain finally meet to even more poo poo you couldn't care about. Great, cool! that definitely will fix the pacing issues here. wait. cool kids inc. posted:But by all means continue to cry about how terrible the pacing is. You think people are complaining about how bad the pacing is because it's too fast and we think this is actually about to end? Can you not read?

Christ, I had somehow managed to forget that after spending 20 chapters slowly driving to the fireworks factory, now that the actual fight is beginning there's a high likelihood that we're going to cut away from it for another 20 chapters.

Endorph posted:i dont care about those things either op Cool! Never said you had to. Just that it's silly to think we're almost done (many, many folks griping about how Horikoshi is flying through as fast as possible- entirely likely, but also not nearly as bad as everyone here says because, hey, poo poo is going to get returned to). It's loving silly to be griping about the status of a fight when it's clearly not finished See: Dabi-Shoto rn, go read everyone bitching about Dabi going down like a chump and how everything is terrible. No 'whoops my bad' from those posters on Dabi's obviously telegraphed second phase. Instead, bc Dabi isn't a chump and it hasn't been explained yet, it's terrible and undeveloped and stupid. Never mind that if we had stuck around there instead of hopping around, the same exact posters would be bitching because it's too slow or we haven't seen anything about insert-one-of-a-dozen characters in way too long. I know this because we've spent an extended period with this batch pending Deku's arrival and that's exactly what is happening here now. If the manga isn't for you, fuckin awesome! It's perfectly valid to hate the direction or pacing or whatever. It's fine to mourn that a thing isn't what you expected it to be or didn't live up to whatever arbitrary expectation you had. It's also unholy amounts of exhausting to read EVERY single week from the same people when all I want to do is laugh at funny rear end jokes and see how it ends. I guess I just forgot how insufferable all media threads are here.

cool kids inc. posted:I guess I just forgot how insufferable all media threads are here. This one's been a bit of a standout lately, even by those metrics. As you said, there's a lot of complaining in exact opposite directions, so that the thread demands the manga does one thing, then gets angry and says the exact opposite thing was what it should have done, even if that was what it was just complaining about. And when a chapter initially gets some positive discussion (sometimes in a "Nice to get some fun moments after a slog" way) the thread twists and turns to claim that it never liked that at all. It's kind of tiresome.

idk that I'll ever think dabi-shoto final showdown part I was great (it's a phenomenal demonstration of how Horikoshi's action is very difficult to parse and he relies pretty heavily on blanketing scenes in fire and explosions in lieu of making them actually dynamic), but with time I will likely concede that having the dude whose whole gimmick is that he just overwhelms opponents by shooting fire at them stand up from the smoke and go "haha brother, with my masterful technique and sharingan eye I immediately deduced the nature of your new unique special move in mere seconds and copied it, which let me be hotter than your cold, I'm going to go kill our lovely dad now" was pretty fun and funny
