Neo_Crimson posted:Virtue Signaling is basically a fancier version of the old 4chan "moralfag" insult. Yeah, it's basically saying that since nobody can truly care about things, any attempt to raise an objection to something on moral grounds (or anything tangentially related to moral grounds) is just a way to signal to everyone else that you're a good person. Like, there may hypothetically be the occasional case where that sort of thing does happen, but the phrase and its usage is generally indicative of a really warped worldview.

C'mon, of course it's reversible. You really think they're going to take Bakugou's best friend out of the story by having him turned into a flesh-lump offscreen during an exam?

Remember, this is the easy bit. They didn't have to fight the real monsters, and could concentrate on banding together and eliminating the weaker foes en masse. I imagine we'll start to see 1A students drop out in the upcoming rounds, as they're forced to face off against genuinely troublesome enemies.

Countblanc posted:yeah UA not losing anyone just means that they haven't been taken out, not that they're all proceeding. i'd be shocked if everyone makes it to the next round. honestly I'm sorta surprised one of the current Deku Trio didn't say "there's no way I'll make it past next round, eliminate me and go on" to Deku. Nah, Deku, Uraraka, and Sero are all through. We saw them tagging the enemies they'd incapacitated with the boulder trick. This section really was just a walk in the park to show off 1A's power, with the actual challenges still to come.

So I'm guessing that the objective of the 'civilians' is to be as obnoxious as possible and make life as difficult as possible for their rescuers in order to push their skills to the limit. I'm absolutely positive I've seen that sort of test in another story somewhere, but I can't remember where.

I do hope we'll see some villain redemptions, like in any good, idealistic superhero story. It's already been set up that this will be Deku's win condition against Shiggy, but it'd be nice to see a few other villains switch over. Toga seems way, way too far gone, and All for One is a living incarnation of evil in the same way All Might is a living incarnation of good, so they're probably out, but Dabi, Twice, Spinner, and even Stain seem like they're at least distant possibilities.

EmmyOk posted:My copies of Volume 3 and Volume 4 arrived and I just finished reading Volume 3. Any series with such an expansive cast takes me ages to read because I have to come up with a suitable voice for everyone and then remember what voice I assigned to them. I really liked how Midoriya didn't use his Quirk to win the race and I'm happy that as soon as he got One For All he didn't start using it for everything. It feels like Deku earned his abilities and still has to work really hard to do well. I loved the panel of All Might throwing up his hands in a "Yeahhhhhhhhh boy" gesture when Midoriya took the lead in the race because I was doing that too. It's a really great series so far but I don't know why the main character is in it so little, I guess his tummy hurts a lot but still he should show up more. Actually, Todoroki is good.

Captain Invictus posted:The first 700ish chapters of one piece are officially colored and have decent to good translations on kissmanga. Don't watch the anime. Read up through the arlong park arc and you'll understand why people love one piece. The colours are controversial, but I found they helped me a lot - by the Skypeia arc, Oda's art gets very heavy on detail and light on shading, making it hard to visually process. The colours add a lot of clarity, and really bring out that detail.

I feel that saying One Piece peaks at Enies Lobby does a great disservice to the stretch from Sabaody to Marineford (I'm only excluding Thriller Bark because it was a fun episodic adventure, rather than searing-hot Peak One Piece). It was only with the timeskip that we hit a significant slump, with three weaker arcs in a row (Fishman Island, Punk Hazard, and Dressrossa), and it does at least look like things are picking up again. I speak only of the manga, of course, because nobody should watch the One Piece anime.

NecroMonster posted:what the gently caress While that's a bizarre thing to say, it is true that Goku and the shonen heroes who he inspired (like Luffy and Gon from Hunter X Hunter), are supposed to be a little bit inhuman, with strange, selfish ideologies that mostly keep them in line with traditional heroism, but can sometimes see them veer off in odd and disturbing directions. It's intentional, and there's always at least one arc that brings it to the forefront (Marineford, Chimera Ant, Cell) to show how messed-up these kids are underneath it all, but I can totally see why it might be offputting, and why more relatable ascended-everyman heroes like Deku might be more your jam.

Seems pretty likely to me that Shigaraki will end up being redeemed, for the extremely simple reason that this is a fundamentally idealistic story where the possibility of him being redeemed has been raised (also, because it's something All Might never did for All for One, and Deku needs more ways to surpass his mentor). It probably won't happen for a very long time, though.
