I wonder about that fight since they didn't even actually take him down in the end. it'd be kind of a waste of time, wouldn't it?

I don't think it's impossible to handle Dragonlady and the girl interns fighting until the manga part in such a way that it's interesting to watch.

I like the Shonen Jump podcast since it's one of the few places where discussion or mere mention of Mineta isn't followed by people trampling over each other to be the first to say how much they hate him. MHA discussion is gonna become a hellscape if he doesn't get taken out near immediately when his fight starts. EDIT: note this isn't in response to Hihohe's post above, but rather based on mention of Mineta on Twitter and other sites Cipher Pol 9 fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Oct 10, 2018 |

SpacePig posted:It's just already licked, unwrapped, grape-flavored jolly ranchers. Yeah, MHA has been remarkably good at that so far. Bakugo started as an rear end in a top hat, now he's Deku's rival and a merely questionable (as opposed to terrible) role model for small children. Endeavor was a domestic abuser, now he's realized that his actions might never be set right, but that doesn't give him an inch of leeway when it comes to trying. Shigaraki was an obnoxious, murderous manchild, and now... Well, he's still a murderous supervillain, but he's much better at it now.

I personally prefer when bad characters learn their mistakes and become okay rather than them just being dunked in constantly. Also, I reread the newest chapter in the English Jump and yup, I still hate it. These two lines, fuckin' hell. "He should've knocked her out cold, but Tokoyami didn't take this training seriously enough!" "You had to resort to that, Komori?" I hope the next chapter elaborates and doesn't skip right to the next fight because god I hate these lines. Tokoyami gave 100% in this fight, showing off his growth and new fighting style and teamwork left and right. Sorry he didn't want to smash another student's head in during a training exercise, I guess, but I mean he should've know better after the first match where every single fight was decided by knockout and simply restraining the opponent was definitely not sufficient four goddamn times. And what does Kendo mean, resort to that? Because unless that power has one hell of a drawback or limitation, then Tokoyami was definitely not the one underestimating people. EDIT: also I only noticed on reread that Kendo somehow got out of that enclosure with only one arm free while dragging Momo and a cannon and it pisses me off that it was preceded by such aggravating poo poo and not shown at all so I can't appreciate how cool that would be otherwise.

The "he should've knocked her out cold" line gets more and more bizarre the more I think about it. Maybe Inko should've taken Deku out of UA after all.

Keep in mind that the person who said those lines was Monoma. I do hope they expanded a bit on this. Sure Midnight was praising Momo, but I really hope they don't just swipe Tokoyami's efforts under the rug.

The reason heroes wear capes is so they can take tormented little girls in their pain and suffering and cloak them in it's comfort! Beside that Edna bit in Incredibles was silly, just make the cloaks detachable (velcro or snaps) and none of those incidents would have happened.

See, the difference between Mirio and Aoyama is that Mirio is highly skilled and competent(and used to be able to turn his cape intangible), while Aoyama...is not.

Yeah, capes should be some kind of protective material like Batman's but also just magnetic stick onto your suit or something so they can't get grabbed or caught on poo poo.

I'm bi so I don't really enjoy all the tactical stuff but it seems like even for someone who does, you'd want to make it possible to predict and speculate with some kind of reasonable guidelines for their abilities and behavior because that's what makes it fun right? Not just constant rear end-pulls and personal revelations?

I'm honestly kind of puzzled that so many people don't see to have gotten that Momo, even falling into unconsciousness with the single mega-attack from Kendo, was clearly launching the binding 'attack' from her body as she was falling in that last panel of her, to which Kendo was reacting in her own last panel in that sequence. So she knew she'd likely lose in one hit, and planned to launch her payload (not wanting to kill Kendo with the force thereof at that point blank range, which could totally kill anyone), get hit/taken out, and bind up Kendo with her own body + the cannon, hoping the weight thereof would be enough to effectively take her out of the fight insofar as she'd be easy pickings for her teammates in that state. I mean, we see the stuff (vines? epoxy? whatever) launching up out of her body forcefully even as she was falling, so it was pretty clearly planned and intentional on Momo's part. It's not her fault Mushroom Girl effectively has an auto-subdual ability much like Midnight's sleep scent, which is hardly an egregious thing for a quirk to provide (despite some people reacting to it as such), much like Deku also has super-mobility and long-range attacks to go with his melee strength, or Bakugou has rocket jumps, or any number of other Heroes or Villains have all manner of 'other powers' through creative use of their Quirks. That's how comic book characters have been rolling for pretty much its whole history, and pretty much every single character that can rapidly grow and control plants (or some other substance) at will within a certain range have been pulling nasty tricks with 'inside their opponents' like the throat spores for as long as they've existed. There are Swamp Thing panels where stuff like that happens that are literally decades old at this point. Also, excessive school-approved violence has been a part of THIS series since, like, the entrance exam? So yes, people are mad for various reasons, but someone suggesting that knocking one of their fellow students unconscious (or choking them into subdual) somehow suddenly being this outrageous suggestion ring a bit...odd? Also, to address that last post above mine, the fact that 1-A has been in the public spotlight, showing off their capabilities and getting recognition for it, while 1-B has not, and characters having issues with these two circumstances, and the potential advantages between fighting real villains frequently vs not having their studies interrupted by drama while also not having shown off their Quirks yet (to the point where we still have no idea what several 1-B students' are yet, halfway through this arc) and thus having a potential tactical advantage are literally in-story issues that have been brought up, discussed, and argued over by the characters themselves in the manga itself. So...'I have a quirk that can do various things wait until you find out what they are mid-fight 1-A in this event we specifically set up so the classes could compete against each other and grow as students' doesn't seem like it'd qualify as an "asspull" to me.

I agree on basically all points but also this is the thread where some people thought Deku was exercising excessive force against Gentle, who was actively committing a crime and given every opportunity to surrender. A lot of the week-to-week reactions smooth out in the long run.

I can't wait for Toga to grind Kendo's face on a belt sander and show that yeah, as the story goes on, people are getting tougher, as she breaks it with her face with largely no injury. TheKingofSprings posted:So should Momo have just shot Kendo in the face with the cannon? No, Momo should've made two cannons so she could put some range between her and Kendo and also deliver emergency supplies to the rest of her team.
