I love that Saitama just effortlessly deals with all problems related to punching, and I hope at no point in the manga does that ever change. The thing that makes him interesting is how he relates to other people while basically being an invincible god, not how he deals with fights. I'd roll my eyes if the series ever fell back onto the Shonen tropes of him facing a new and overwhelming threat that he had to power up to overcome or something.

Nah, that sword is the living avatar of all the ancient weaponry has been relegated to the role of mere decorations. It has already given its speech about how it's time all the ancient and powerful implements of war avenged themselves upon a callous and prideful humanity that would make mere wall-hangings of them.

Crain posted:I don't really think a live action OPM is worth it though? I'm not really sure how you'd do the whole ONE style Saitama -> Murata style cool Saitama without just way too much CGI. But eh, maybe if they really worked on it like MCU it'd work. I dunno, I think it could be like a Christopher Reeves Superman/Clark Kent thing, where a good enough actor could, through body language and facial expression, pull off the clear distinction between "everyday egg-face Saitama" and "serious business Saitama". Edit: But yeah it's probably not going to be that, it's probably just going to be bad if it exists at all.

Kild posted:So Crabiante was an A Rank monster. Kinda proves that argument earlier that even prehero Saitama was a beast. While not discounting that Saitama was very heroic and demonstrated some good quick-thinking and agility, it's also the case that Crablante had a glaring weakness that an above-average athlete could exploit, and Saitama was lucky to be in a position to take advantage of that.

I think Saitama is a funny and very entertaining character, but Mob is an exceptionally lovable and compelling one. They're both stories about extremely powerful characters who have detached feelings about their incredible might, but Mob is vulnerable in ways that Saitama is not, and I think that is what sets such different tones for the different stories.

MiniFoo posted:See post above. Now what would actually be a crappy super power is the inverse of that - completely invulnerable to harm, but as weak or weaker than an average human being. You are describing Zombieman. Granted, he makes up for it by having guns and other weapons on him at all times.

It's like King of the Hill in that the humor is more the contradictions of the setting and the quirks of the characters expressed naturally rather than specific gags or setups and punchlines, for the most part.

I dont know if it's fair to call it worsely drawn. It's less technically sophisticated and skillful for sure, but it's also got a very consistent and distinct aesthetic with its own charms. Personally, I like the MP100 style a lot, about as much as Murata but for different reasons.

I think it's more likely that the status she garners as a mid-profile hero may be enough for her to maneuver out of that situation. She could probably tell them to send the bill to the Hero Association and get away with it, assuming they don't just comp her.

I wonder how Pig God falls into this equation. He seems like he might have 'monsterified' because of an obsession with eating, yet somehow retained being a decent human being.
