I think it's somewhat important for authors to establish why Gun wouldn't solve 90% of all problems for heroes and villains alike, and I don't really think MHA does a good job of this. In any given fight, a Dude With A Gun honestly has a good chance of being the strongest fighter in the room, especially if it's against someone like Aizawa. It's not massively important and I understand that authors would rather just skip that part and write stories about weird powers, but that doesn't mean it doesn't bother me.

I don't think anyone is asking why they aren't shooting shigaraki because he's obviously basically immortal. The question is more why villains like stain don't use guns, because "owns firearm" is basically an A-tier quirk on its own, as they should be able to kill most heroes who aren't like tetsu or kirishima or all might fairly easily.

ImpAtom posted:Characters in fiction using implausible weapons I stead of being tactically realistic really doesn't need to be explained. It's fine if the anime establishes that guns aren't great weapons for whatever reason. Why use a gun when everyone else can just deflect your bullets with their superior katana? But MHA has never even implied that to be the case for most characters, as they have quirks that are completely ineffective at dealing with firearms. This works the other way as well. It's hella weird in symphogear when you watch a bunch of soldier guys get sent into the noise meatgrinder for the fifth time when it's been clearly established that conventional weapons don't work against them.

ImpAtom posted:There are an absurd number of series which feature guns and katanas in the same series! The named characters rank higher using their chosen weapon no matter what it is. Man, it was loving wild when Barret got scared of president Shinra's pistol after spending half the game's cutscenes being showered in chopper-mounted machine gun fire.

Momo can't fight as well as Bakugo because she's a girl and this is a fightboys shounen manga. If Momo was a boy and the protagonist she would've been a combination of Batman and McGyver, capable of winning any fight with 2 minutes of prep.

Tbh I wouldn't really say that's a "conclusion you can draw", those 3 literally are the protagonists for the early parts of the manga, before iida and ochako are more or less replaced by bakugo and todoroki.

Can't help but feel like something like Jujutsu Kaisen has a pretty strong inherent advantage when it comes to villains. They're just loving evil, so of course they do evil poo poo, and the heroes don't really need to worry about the ethics of fighting them to the death. A series with human villains like MHA has the potential to be more interesting, but it's much harder to write.

ImpAtom posted:Nah, it happens in all comics. Aquaman once revealed he can give people seizures by communicating with the part of their brain that evolved from aquatic ancestors, the Flash can make clothes out of speed, etc, etc. It's just a part of the genre. "The genre is rife with examples of poo poo writing" is not a solid defense of this particular example of poo poo writing imo.

There's a difference between "it's unrealistic" and "the writer is literally just making random poo poo up to justify the harebrained plot and using a random nearby character's superpower as an explanation for whatever magical phenomenon just happened, regardless if it makes any sense or not".

This has been a standing question for like 10 chapters now but if "the ability to grow infinite hands" is not a quirk, then what the hell is it?

CuwiKhons posted:The other important difference between Bakugo and Endeavor is that Bakugo said some poo poo as a dumbass child in middle school and Endeavor is a fully grown man who has been abusing his wife and children for over a decade now. Was Bakugo old enough to know better? Yeah, of course, but he was still a kid. And he's grown up significantly since then. I was bullied in school and I also think it's dumb as hell to hold things people did in literally middle school against them. I also disliked bakugo initially but started liking him after he got some character development.

CuwiKhons posted:I think it makes sense given that AFO starts the chapter talking about how Gear Shift was a super weak quirk when the 2nd user was alive and could only affect small objects. The individual quirk is weak - being willing to surrender the quirk and give it to someone else allows it to become strong. It's like if Mama Midoriya's quirk got rolled into OFA. Right now all she can do is pull small objects towards her but if it got a massive power boost like OFA, you could imagine her slinging entire buildings around telekinetically. I mean, quirks starting out weak until you work hard and practice a lot is like a core part of this manga, and the focus of multiple training chapters. If Deku's mother had gone to hero school and worked hard, got swole and used her quirk for more than grabbing her phone from across the room, it probably would've been very useful in combat even without weird OFA/AFO bs.

I liked the class vs class story up until it got cut short by deku's bullshit. The series easily peaked during the school festival/gentle criminal arc, and it's been pretty steeply downhill from there.
