Hori said he originally wanted to make her a pro hero. She could've just been a generic background character like Mount Lady and Midnight here, and instead she's worse as a supporting cast member.

Look at Momo give orders in that teaser. Makes you think she's a pivotal character in that episode.

Oh god, the next episode of MHA is gonna be so bad.

On the other hand, the best they can do for a teaser of next episode is everybody standing around and talking still so i think next week's episode is gonna be a real snoozefest, a real shame it's Momo centric too.

I get what Momo's character arc is supposed to be, her slowly learning to be more confident in herself despite stumbling along the way until she becomes a great leader, but the problem is we've mostly just seen her fail while other people say she's getting better. I dunno, maybe I'm just still bitter about the Joint Training arc.

Kinda sucks how the Hinata vs Neji scenario just keeps being where a lot of female characters peak. And these characters aren't even a sliver of how interesting her setup was.

MHA as a whole is just increasingly feeling like an engine that's starting to sputter out and die from fuel starvation

started out great, but man does it feel like things for the past season or so have just been a gradual descent into mediocrity

Weirdly I'm of the opposite opinion, at least regarding this season, it's pulled me back in while I was fading

I really like the finale of this arc

I like what happens right before the finale, but the actual finale is a bunch of plot points and actions that feel spawned from author burnout.

Suddenly, I miss Jojo's Bizarre Adventure a lot.

I mean, JJBA is mostly just as guilty, though admittedly it doesn't do escalation in the same generic way that DBZ/MHA other shonen do. Dio (part 3) on paper seems like he should be stronger than others but he seems to forget his vampire powers after he gets The World, then Killer Queen starts sprouting secondary powers, then you get King Crimson which has arguably stronger (via being harder to understand) time powers than The World

Can see why the author just put Mirko and Mt.Lady alot in these last few chapters/episodes, if you have to animate your version of Goku fighting Frieza on Namek you might as well enjoy it.

It's the same power as Za Warudo, but with an overcomplicated explanation to make for ease of rules lawyering.

I've not seen the finale (yet, obviously) but yeah I'm honestly kinda okay with the arc as well, even if I have mocked/complained about it during watching it. Even if it does suffer from "only the main character can be important" when Deku and/or Shigaraki is in play, it's had plenty of fun moments for side characters that have been overlooked or even forgotten to get big moments that they haven't gotten in a long while.

I mean I guess maybe it stems from me reading American superhero comics and how MHA obviously takes inspiration from them. This whole arc is like an event comic. You know who's gonna be the ultimately important character from who's leading up to it like Batman or something, but there's always a lot of fun moments for second stringers to fight mooks.

Why do people keep saying that? Anyone who's read Naruto can tell it's taking more story influence from other battle shonen of its ilk than any western superhero comics, and the superhero stuff is only in terms of visual inspiration. Hell, people still think the same about Onepunch Man just because Saitama wears a cape and big red gloves, when it's just doing the usual shonen action comedy thing.

I mean yeah obviously it's not just trying to be superhero comics but in manga/anime form, I'm not saying that, but it doesn't not take inspiration from western superheroes, come on.

But yeah I agree that OPM is doing its own parody thing.
