The_Doctor posted:It’s interesting that 3 different superhero tv series have had power-swapping/stealing villains (MHA, Heroes, and Misfits). afaik almost every superhero property has some sort of "power stealing" character and they're almost always a disaster for the plot AfO is one of the better examples because he's in a world where nearly everyone has a superpower and it's considered a fundamental part of their identity, so someone who robs them of that is seen as way more of a horror than just a really strong dude

the arguments against yaoyarozu being a hero probably wouldn't be as strong if her accomplishments in the anime to date weren't so lacking she's one of two recommended students in 1A. in the sports tournament, todoroki nuked the entire stadium twice over. yaoyorozu came down with performance anxiety and then got pecked off the stage

ninjewtsu posted:I was surprised to see eraserhead get chumped like that. Obviously there was a surprise attack angle and not knowing his opponent's capabilities, but my understanding was his whole deal was disabling his opponent's quirks, then beating the poo poo out of them because he's essentially specialized for an effectively quirkless vs quirkless duel. Girl With Knife must be pretty drat good at knifing to get the easy shank in on him like that, didnt he throw down against dozens of villains at once during the initial league of villains appearance? toga's quirk belies the fact that her main skill is being really, really super good at stabbing people

Doctor Reynolds posted:The League of Villains' surprising affability (which translates into people skills) does make me wonder why in the world they thought they could convert Bakugo. Dude calls himself King Explosion Kill, so, I guess... bakugo's behavior during the sports festival made him extremely high-visibility and villainous, so shigaraki figured that if they could publicly recruit him to the league then it would be a deathblow to the heroes' public image shiggy was also riding the high of being a Big Boy villain for the first time and got a little too confident in his plan

Nephthys posted:Quirkless Mirio did better against Chisaki than Nighteye and Deku combined. He's the real deal. which, again, happened when he was still detonating his bones with every attack (and were primarily interesting because of it) don't get me wrong, midoriya's still a welcome departure from the usual shounen personality trifecta of "punch," "brash," and "stupid (or is he???)" but a lot of the kid's appeal in terms of story dynamics came from one very specific thing, and when it goes away it takes a lot of his uniqueness with it it doesn't help that, as this arc helpfully demonstrates, MHA has a Bleach-tier Too Many loving Characters problem, and even though they're universally more appealing than Kubo's unending parade of stoic men in white uniforms, they don't leave a whole lot of oxygen for the cast that was originally introduced

ninjewtsu posted:Now that I know her power it seems kinda lame, less creative than what the boys have, and also I'm not sure how effective it is? as said earlier, it uses stamina instead of life force, and in a world where flight is a semi-rare ability she's basically an aerial artillery platform it's not as varied or adaptable as amajiki's or togata's quirks, but it doesn't really need to be when she can just blow you the gently caress up from a safe vantage point

overhaul treated shigaraki like a small-time chump and shigaraki quietly sabotaged his plans, made off with the fruits of his research, and permanently crippled him for good measure shigaraki isn't intended to be some looming threat in the style of all for one, he's an up-and-coming villain the same way midoriya is an up-and-coming hero. his early career was a series of embarrassing tactical blunders and missed opportunities much like midoriya's several initial attempts at heroism resulted in him pulverizing his own bone structure and being carried out on a stretcher, but he's getting a little bit better every time overhaul, meanwhile, is a shallow, antisocial brat, pretty much exactly who shigaraki was at during the USJ raid. he sucked and it's good that he lost and he's not coming back

A Bug posted:I may be overthinking it, but I enjoyed the little interaction between Mina and Kirishima. Kirishima admitting that he's not really OK but is getting there when Mina asked him was nice. It's a bit of a change-up from the normal brash/manly shounen character laughing and brushing off anything that could be perceived as a feeling that isn't fighting. if you're hard all the way through then that just makes you brittle. kirishima has a soft and gooey center and so he is unbreakable

there's also no such thing as "dealing a lot of damage to the heroes" in this setting with the manpower that shigaraki's got. the power imbalance between hero and villain in MHA is absurd - the former is a country-spanning multibillion-dollar industry with the latest technology, limitless funding, and thousands of people who double as both celebrities and special law enforcement with all the privileges of both, while the villains are mostly down-and-out bums and anarchists squatting in lovely hovels and warehouses and taking what they can get when they can get it. overhaul is one of the few exceptions, because he's leeching off the dregs of the yakuza's own wealth and influence to fund his pet projects that's why shigaraki's early operations focused more on demolishing the hero society's public image more than just trying to rack up a kill count. taking down all might was the most obvious way to accomplish that, sure, but when all might turned out to have way too much swagger for him to handle, he instead tried to make one of the most visible and controversial hero students a public turncoat, which would wreck U.A.'s image. that second plan could have worked! it's just that he horribly misjudged bakugo's personality and got his face exploded for his trouble.

the league immediately started sharpening their knives against overhaul because he killed one of their own and toga and twice had each other's backs during their entire op within the yakuza's HQ they give a poo poo about each other and you're deliberately blinding yourself to the events onscreen if you haven't clued into that by now

One of Bakugo’s more overlooked qualities when he’s on the offensive is that he never lets the other guy stop for breath, so Overhaul would probably wind up frantically laying down walls between the two of them just so he can patch himself up Of course, what most people see as a wall Bakugo sees as shrapnel-in-waiting

it's been blindingly obvious from the word go that midoriya and bakugo combined have the qualities of all might - altruism/strong sense of justice and overwhelming strength/desire for victory. they're also both lacking in the other's dominant trait and are steadily making up for it with time, with midoriya learning to fight in a way that doesn't tank his own body and bakugo slowly becoming less of a homicidal jackass towards everyone around him i said this a while back and it still holds true - a lot of people so, so badly want bakugo to be the schoolyard bully archetype who's repeatedly humbled until all his rough edges are sanded off, but it's never going to happen. the fact that his peers still reluctantly admire him for his strength and drive (while condemning his dogshit personality) is also one of the things that makes MHA's approach to "heroism" stand out, because it acknowledges that all the doe-eyed good intentions in the world don't measure up to the power needed to see them through. without him around, and especially now that midoriya's not hospitalizing himself with every punch, we'd just have a bunch of interchangeable grinning dopes making determined speeches into the camera

one may assume that snipe seldom appears in the comic because his quirk (which is Gun) and his equipment (which is also Gun) would trivialize the vast majority of encounters shown thus far the minute he stepped into the USJ, shigaraki was on the ground with more new holes than a colander
