deku running up and talking about the power of friendship felt really weird to me. it didn't seem like something an actual person would say at all. why did deku feel like he had to justify his own motivations to someone else? it felt like a speech that was there just so the audience would be reminded that deku's the one they're supposed to be rooting for also icyhot briefly mentioning that his mother poured boiling water on his face as a kid was pretty nuts. it makes me wonder why he hates his dad instead of his mom. i mean his dad is a eugenics rear end in a top hat, but like, compared to being disfigured for life? that's the parent who's powers you want to use exclusively? i don't want to get too critical of icyhot when i don't really have complete knowledge of his motivations (again, his mother was only mentioned for like 5 seconds), but right now it looks kinda silly. overall i'm enjoying the show. other than the 2-4 minute recaps at the beginning of every episode, i'm not so sure that the team assembling phase of the cavalry battle should've gotten basically an entire episode all to itself, but otherwise the pacing is pretty fine to me. the action has been pretty good, and there's been some pretty cool creative use of super powers.

The Colonel posted:i don't think anyone is saying it is, i think the point is that todoroki's mom, was kind of hosed up, by his dad, and that is why he actively despises her less they're literally quoting someone who's saying "his mother is not a horrible person," which i think could certainly be argued is not true, given the information in this thread. "his father is a worse person," on the other hand, certainly sounds like a much less tenable position

latest episode was alright. i was sad that mind control kid wasn't given that great a showing. it's also too bad that spiderman got curbstomped like that, but icyhot was eugenics'd into having incredible power, so it makes sense that against a more low-key power he wins pretty handily. between bakugo, icyhot, mindcontrol, and shadow-jojo, this show sure does love its "this character could be sasuke, but isn't" thing.

there is a difference between being a good person and being a sympathetic person you can be sympathetic to a person's plight, and also still say "they have done a terrible thing, and are therefore a terrible person," despite understanding and sympathizing with the reason they did it

i don't think being a hurt human being who needs help and being a horrible person are mutually exclusive. in fact, i think the two might go together often. i think that people should be judged by their actions, and while circumstances might make some actions more sympathetic and understandable, that doesn't make them ok or excused.

I want bakugo to win. He's the underdog quirk-wise but he's a pretty exceptional fighter. He figured out dark shadow's weakness, and clearly did a lot of thinking during his other two tourney fights. I think it's really cool that on the surface his fighting style looks like he's just a thug, but he's actually pretty smart and is really good at using his quirk's versatility, as well as its raw power, to his advantage. Icy hot will probably win by virtue of bakugo's character arc being "you're good but not the best" and icyhot's arc being "you're the best because of eugenics and rape, but that doesn't mean you can't still be the best because those things aren't your fault." It makes a lot more thematic sense. But I find bakugo more entertaining and it's hard not to root for the underdog so I hope he wins anyway.

My understanding is that it was hinted at that the nomus are being made by one of all might's predecessors, since that's the only known power that can transfer a quirk at all. I thought it was hinted to be the same person who injured all might too, but I'm not very sure on that. In any case my theory contradicts your theory about one for all

Comparing bakugo to endeavor makes sense in some ways, but also I dunno why you'd tell people who don't like him because of how hot headed he is "you should like him for the same reason you like the guy who is basically a rapist" I don't get the feeling that people who don't like bakugo would like endeavor. Bakugo owns though, because characters who are imperfect > goody two shoes and also rage is an entertaining emotion to see in motion

I really like how bakugo is determined to not learn anything about how his blind rage isn't the best way to do things, but when it comes to combat he's incredibly perceptive. The way that things that look like he's just lashing out (the barrage of small explosions, several of his fights in the sports festivals) are actually him testing his opponent's reactions and gathering information so he can figure out their weaknesses is really cool.

If bakugo were in endeavor's position he'd probably just keep trying to upstage all might, and never give up like endeavor did. "What if your kid upstaged all might" seems like the kind of thing he'd say "I don't want a half assed victory like that" to

Bakugo wouldn't join the league of villains because that'd mean he's admitting that he can't cut it on his own. Bakugo turning villain would be more of a loner like stain, if anything

Controversial opinion: I'm actually not super fond of icy hot When his back story was getting dived into I enjoyed it, but I can't say he's been a terribly interesting character outside of that. I hope he gets some more focus in the new season so he's not as dull Also controversial opinion: I like bakugo a lot

Reinanigans posted:Actually, X-Men Evolution was garbage. Nightcrawler had no trace of his piousness, Rogue was an angsty goth instead of a headstrong southern belle, Storm might as well have not existed, and it introduced the horrible xxx-treeeeeme character of Spyke. poo poo sucked rear end. this does not sound like anything worth caring about if i'm being honest

Silver2195 posted:Honestly, it depends on your tastes. Anime covers a lot of genres. What books/movies/comics do you like? Yeah this is pretty important. It's a little like asking "give me some good intro shows for American television," it's a really broad range of stuff. I can think of some really grim and dark animes that I both love dearly and also think would be good for someone who otherwise hasn't seen much anime, but obviously if you're not into dark stories then that won't be terribly good for you.

MHA is like a B+ choice of introductory anime. It's a good choice, but there's others that are probably universally better for a newcomer

Mineta's power is interesting and when he has to do something, demands clever utilization that's fun to watch Mineta's personality is weird and creepy
