Yeah, say what you will about Sasuke, but the guy had an extremely hosed up childhood, even compared with his child soldier peers. Bakugou...was literally just some kid who was a bully/rear end in a top hat.

Is MHA fully over at this point? Is there like only a handful of chapters left? Because I will say one thing I absolutely do not want. I do not want the Naruto and Bleach "and this is how we will pair up everyone" ending. That poo poo sucks. If Deku and Uraraka or Kaminari and Jiro get together, fine. That was built up forever. It's more the "and this side character is with this side character." Did we need to know Sai and Ino hooked up? No, no we did not. I don't want Sugarman and...I dunno, Mushroom Girl to be married off or something.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:They're literally all child soldiers. They spent large arcs that were exams just beating the poo poo out of one another. That's not a huge deal in universe. Sasuke's crimes are "Trying and failing to kill the kages and getting his poo poo rocked." and "Killing the Ninja CIA Guy with all his family's eyeballs installed in his arm" which....that's a weekend of public service and a medal IMO. IIRC Sasuke tried to hi-jack the "mind-control the planet" plan, kill all the worlds leaders and Naruto which would have been some pretty high-grade evil if he had succeeded. He also tried to kill Sakura and Karin and in the finale he mentally tortured Sakura until she fainted. He did apologise for that last one though, which in no way makes up for it.

Also, the series has already set up the next generation in like 20 different characters so having Beku show up at the end is unnecessary. Just have Eri, Kota, the movie kids and those kids Todoroki and Bakugo taught show up for their first day at UA. Nephthys fucked around with this message at 10:26 on May 20, 2024 |

I think the funniest and probably most realistic thing they could do is cut to the future, and the pairings are all just completely random, most of them not even married to people from their class. It's been 10-20 years, and people don't always end up with their freshman year crush. It would drive the shippers crazy.

drat, that sure is an ending. I feel like once they brought in the liberation army stuff, it started going downhill, but where would y'all of cut to "final fight"? Might be too early to do an analysis of how what started off as a really great series turned into something middling, but I'm always curious other's takes.

RedMagus posted:drat, that sure is an ending. If we're allowed to do a total rewrite I probably would have just allowed more time to pass between big events, but not majorly change much. So maybe the big All Might vs All for One fight happens right at the end of the first year, the war happens at the end of the second and then the third year takes place over several months into the third year. The Deku vigilante angle was cool, I would have spent more time on that as well as the meta-human racism and then probably cut AfO from being the big bad in favor of Shigaraki. AfO can maybe still be supporting him so we can have the sick af Iron Might fight though. I personally feel like the vast majority of the series was done well, I think the series hit a stumbling block with Shigaraki being absurdly invincible for chapter after chapter but most of the finale has been strong. It will probably read much better after the series is over instead of weekly.

The liberation front stuff is really weird in retrospect. It seemed to be a big setup for a new status quo of the LoV running a shadowy criminal organization to oppose the heroes, down to having a whole new rogues' gallery introduced for the protagonists to punch, but it was basically all shuffled off to the side and rendered meaningless with almost unseemly haste. I guess it was an early example of stuff like Star and Nagant, where Horikoshi comes up with some radical rear end character designs and a brief plot outline for how to introduce them but has no idea what to do with them long term. I still remember everybody thinking Geten was going to be important. Kanos fucked around with this message at 19:32 on May 20, 2024 |

I think Geten actually is related to Todoroki's mom. It was sort of implied when we cut to him and Compress in prison. It just never mattered in any way.

Feels like after a while, the school setting was holding the series back. After the end of the Overhaul arc, Deku and the other kids stopped interacting with the main villains pretty much entirely until about midway through the War arc when poo poo hit the fan. While we were seeing things like Hawks going undercover, the League slowly growing in power, and the Liberation army being set up, Deku and the others were just having school festivals(which was great!) and long training exercises(which wasn't great!).

The series was rolling along at a reasonable pace, then Hori was obviously starting to struggle with shorter and even unfinished chapters, and basically just had to cut it short and slam through the major plot beats as fast as possible. It's not like the series suddenly came to an end, there's a decent number of chapters and story beats between the end of the hospital raid/war and the beginning of the final arc, and the final arc has progressed at a fairly regular pace. There was just too much to cover in between those two points. I feel like it would have been about the same length as Naruto if it had actually covered the full three years and Hori was able to keep it going that long.

Reclaimer posted:Momo Does Mineta wind up feeling like he lost somehow? RedMagus posted:drat, that sure is an ending. My feelings started to go downhill around the time All Might beat up AFO pretty easily despite being powerless. Good moment for All Might, but it made AFO look pretty wimpy. And then a finger curled on the monkey's paw and I got more AFO than I could've ever wanted.  I wasn't really captivated by a lot of the stuff between there and My Villain Academia, aside from Gentle's arc. I think the real problem is that the Paranormal Liberation Front was too big. We establish all of the characters having all of these branches and subordinates, but there's no way to reasonable introduce all of the characters that were shown in the amount of manga that was left. Then the League went from feeling like a group to a bunch of individuals vaguely orbiting around the same ideals, but their issues started to feel like petulant whining. And the heroes are mostly all as bland as can be (especially Deku), so it was really just a dull ride for a good while aside from a few peaks here and there.

taken as a whole AFO might be the worst-executed villain i've seen in a long-running jump comic. madara and yhwach sucked but i didn't exactly have high expectations for them anyway and their respective stories were already getting kind of rocky before they monopolized everyone's panel time. but all for one started at such a height and crashed down to such a depth, taking all of MHA with him

i'm forever confused by how quickly the liberation army was swept under the rug. (ESPECIALLY REDESTRO??? where even is he right now?) remember how the league had their own lieutenants and everything? would've scrapped literally everything to do with All for One and made the liberation army the final villains.
