So you’re saying he’s gohan.

Gohan is basically Bruce Banner. Deku is more like Peter Parker.

I think what they meant by 'isekai' protagonist is that Deku is stuck having to make due with being a clever turbonerd in a world full of people with magical superpowers.

rewatching bits of season 1 and 2 and it can never be repeated enough how much "you say run" carries this whole series. probably the best non-op music i've heard in anime

I don’t really see that at all tbh. Beyond really general stuff like Deku’s a high school student with superpowers or Gohan gets stronger when he’s mad.

Deku as Peter Parker would fit better if he had good banter. Still, great power, great responsibility, etc. etc. etc.

All-Might sometimes seems like he's almost as big a nerd as Deku. He has just had time to grow up around it a bit more.

All Might makes way more sense when you realize he is on the spectrum. When it comes to being a hero he is pretty much a god, but he really struggles to interact with Deku, his fellow heroes, or pretty much anybody. This is where his over the top hero persona comes from, it saves him from having any real interpersonal connections. This is where Deku can surpasses him, he can actually interact and coordinate with his peers in a not embarrassing way.

I guess, but unlike Spidey Deku doesn’t really need to learn that lesson. He’s already showing great responsibility before he has any power. From chapter 1 he’s already the most heroic person in the story next to All Might. It’s why All Might made him his apprentice in the first place.

There’s certainly some similarities there and all but I can’t really see Deku as being modelled after or directly inspired by like western Superhero archetypes.

Deku's still gotta learn about how to use his powers responsibly, it's just a different kind of responsibly. For example, not shattering himself into pieces every time he tries to save someone.

My read is that All-Might, probably motivated by the sacrifice of the previous user, has basically been busting his entire adult life open in order to be the Symbol of Peace, and as such he is actually pretty stunted in a lot of ways, even if he's obviously trying his hardest.

He's been doing this stuff for at least Deku's entire life, and while he's obviously fading NOW he seems to have been in solid shape and to have shown no real signs of aging. How old is he anyway? Endeavor seems to be in his mid-40s.

Minor arguably-canon Vigilantes manga spoiler: All Might's got such a problem with spending every possible moment hero-ing that he does the 'make an excuse to leave and go be a superhero' thing multiple times in a single business meeting.

Yea I don't think it's fair to read in a diagnosis on All Might. He was probably shunned a lot at an early age before he got OFA. And his teachers were kind of unconventional so he really doesn't have a lot of stuff to draw upon to be a good teacher and even father figure to Deku.

The second half of season 2 had the dubs come out two weeks after the Japanese premieres, after the first half of the season was simuldubbed.

Mineta gets a couple good moments in the first two seasons but keeps being gross and cancels them out.

I wish Hori would've dialed the perversity back a couple notches and made Mineta the put-upon straightman. Iida doesn't really fulfill that role since he's just as down for the crazier stuff as anyone else.

Mineta being a hormonal teen is fine- everyone being generically asexual outside of the main character and whatever token romance they got going on is kinda boring.

He (side panel joke from the manga so technically a spoiler?)tells a 7 year old girl she'll be hot in 10 years which is like what the gently caress

Deku's growth in controlling One For All is a vital part of the series and a thread that continues to this day in the manga, yes.
