He seems to be unwilling to go too over the top in terms of fights; in a world where people can blow up buildings with their brains like 80% of the fights are settled by punching/kicking someone in the head or dropping something on them and knocking them out.

The fights that break out of the vague/half-hearted realism stuff tend to be good- yeah I get it, if someone with some multiple of human strength or fists made of metal or whatever punches you in the head in real life you'll get knocked out (and suffer brain damage) but maybe just turn the craziness knob up a bit.

This is a world where the Top Hero was Punch Hardest Man. The person who replaced him is Punch Hardest By Default But With Fire Man. To be fair to that though Fire powers (and many others) are usually given to villains for a reason, because the logical result of their use on people is death.
But I agree He's not being especially creative, for example Todoroki could be using a tool that uses steam to launch ice balls instead of the stick out hand -> wide Ice/Fire AoE.


I will have to say Horikoshi had a chance to set a hard ceiling on how much devastation quirks can do and smooth out the power creep curve, but he passed that line pretty fast.

AFO was cool as this dark father figure that warped a kid and made him a super villain half out of wanting an heir to his legacy and half just to screw with his hated enemy on a personal level. The league of villains was fine with the motley crew of criminals and societal outcasts and didn't need him coming back to hands on be an unstoppable threat.

Yeah, It was much more interesting when AfO was seen as this relic of an older world, more or less accepting his defeat until he realizes he has a final chance to deliver a final gently caress you.

If he was actually a sort of twisted selfless mentor to shiggy in the same way All might was to deku hed be much more interesting than discount Madara.

Hell he could taunt all might about being a better mentor

The Fallout series also takes place in the future, but the back half of the 20th century looks completely different. What is the divergence point is what I'm asking.

I think quirks seem to have appeared during our present.
Its just the massive upheaval of world order set the world back a bit.

Its also in this weird kind of western capes comics divide where the heros get all the advanced tech and wild looking buildings while the normal world is still at present day tech and architecture.

And yet somehow we still have this thing because people are just so sworn to the "main hero hooks up with main girl" truism that they refuse to read the writing on the wall that Kishimoto has no plans to kill Sasuke or salvage Sakura's character.

Lmao what the gently caress

Disappointment and disillusionment cut deeper than if it just sucked from the beginning.
(See: Bleach, Nart)

For a more recent example: The same thing happened in late demon slayer to an extent, where the obviously rushed final arc blunted most everything good about the series.

It worked as a capstone to Guys arc and showed off something weve been told about since near the beginning of the story. It was a really good payoff for people invested in his character.

However what sucked was what happened right after because of ninja jesus bullshit and Madara also being a bullshit villain Kishimoto was unreasonably attached to.

Mereoleona still kicks rear end and hasnt been diminished except in the standard shonen way of side characters losing importance when the spotlight leaves them.

That aside BC is most definitely not innocent of cheesecaking its female characters. At least it isnt mealy mouthed about it like MHA and never tries the "words and deeds' defense.
