Was he really that bad??
>>
>>286701790
At least it has the ending. Most modern shonens don't have that luxury
>>
Nobody cares.
>>
>>286701790
he is really punchable, i understand why bakugo bullied him
>>
>battered housewife: the character
>>
>>286701790
>acts as the moral center of the story with even his mentor calling him HIS "hero"
>the audience never actually gets a look at his inner psychology and motivations beside the initial flashback to his childhood
He's literally just 'status quo, the character'.
>>
>>286701790
thank you for fucking my oshi, bakubull
h-h-have a p-plush ultra d-d-d-day!
>>
>>286701790
He's not that bad.
It's just his fanbase being this beyond obnoxious and it paints him in a much, much more negative light and others would rather trash on him if it means making his fanbase seethe.
>>
>>286701790
Imagine if you made Koby the main character of One Piece, except Koby is less annoying and a way better character, so yeah Deku is really bad.
>>
>>286701790
No. But the fanbase of MHA is a shit.
Also Bakugay
>>
>>286701790
If dickriding was an Olympic sport, this green faggot would win gold, silver and bronze every single time for glazing his sperg bully
>>
>>286701790
He's boring.
>>
>>286701790
Actually yes, his "character" doesn't even last for more than a couple of episodes for fucks sake. Anyone remember when he was sold as a "wits over might" character?
>>
>>286707207
I remember reading the first few chapters.
But the author seems to be allergic to fun. He intentionally does everything possible to prevent the story from being too exciting or having characters that are too interesting in it.
Fun character appears? Make him a side character like Knuckle Duster.
Cool power system? Can't be having that, let's make this girl's power to be a frog and this boy's power to have a tail and this boy's power to have sticky hair.
>>
>>286701790
Don't ever misgender Deku again. Xer anus is Bakugo's property - that's what matters.
>>
>>286707327
>cool power system, just give the main character a power that is just punch harder.
>>
>>286701790
He doesn't have a cruel, vindictive bone in his body which is why nobody here can relate to him at all.
>>
>>286703146
i wish more people ran with him being a twink housewife to shigaraki tomura
>>
>>286701790
wish his hot childhood friend showed his shoulders more often
>>
>>286701790
He was really bad. At first he seems bad, then you look deeper and he seems misunderstood by bitter haters then you look deeper and see he's really bad and the series would have been better if Hori died of a heart attack in the middle of writing it.
>>
>>286701790
Too much his character is based on how other characters measure his progress/worth. As an anime watcher I remember him getting glazed multiple times for figuring out how to use OfA while only breaking his bones a little bit and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Like the author really wants you to root for this kid who already has so much going for him.

The Green Naruto comparisons aren't unwarranted.
>>
>>286707327
I kinda like how people have "super powers" like having big hands or be an animal person. It explains that there's just normal ass Quirk people who aren't super heroes and it's neat seeing the heroes win anyways despite not having a bullshit power.

In a world with everyone having QUIRKy powers, where having a tail or sticky hair apparently places you in the top percentile, the main character was given generic super strength.
>>

>the main character was given generic super strength.
The literal opposite happens by the end though.

Luckily for him Dabi, the villain and Bakugod carried this series

Probably properly rated. He's not particularly compelling and often he's part of the worst stuff, his development was hijacked by quirk ghosts, and the narrative bends backwards for him despite pretending like it doesn't. I figure that he's supposed to be some kind of subversion of a typical battle shounen mc but the payoff for this subversion never really comes. At the end of the day he's pretty much just a vessel for the story defining OP power and it never really feels like he's more than that. He lacks MC energy and charisma but at least he could get carried by the stuff around him
>>
Does Deku ever get punished for using his powers or is it always going to be "Wowsers, your arm got FUCKED UP but we healed it. Please be very careful not to do this in the future because next time you won't be lucky."? I'm halfway through Season 3 and he's still chugging along without issue.
>>
>>286701790
should have been a cute tomboy
>>
>>286701790
I don't hate him but the last time it felt like he had a semblance of an internal conflict was during the Yakuza arc.
>>
>>286714478
It would have been interesting if some random quirkless kid asked him if he could be a hero and what Deku would have answered.
>>
>>286713407
Maybe, but that doesn't change the entire premise of the story.
>>
>>286701790
That was the whole point: He was playing with powers he wanted but was never meant to have. And it undid him.

That was entire point of the story.
>>
>>286701790
no, people don't really like that archetype though.
>>
>>286701790
Mediocre. The worst part about him was he kept idolizing bakugo. Made him out to be a bitch
>>
>>286720424
I dunno, Bakugo is pretty based
>>
>>286714285
No.

What makes Tanjiro better than Deku as a shounen protagonist despite both somehow similar in character as a straightforward nice guy?
>>
>>286721014
Tanjiro isn't a bitch. Nobody likes a bitch.
>>
>>286701790
>the only modern shonen with attractive women and a non-trainwreck ending
I humbly kneel and apologize to Horikoshi.

>>286721014
He doesn't overreact to everything like a pussy

Deku when confronting his enemies
>NOOOOOO STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!! WE CAN SAVE YOU, WE CAN TURN ALL OF THIS AROUND.
>NOOOOOO HE DIED!! WHY!?!?! WAAAAH

He's a character made specifically to pander to a wish fulfillment generation who instead of acting as an aspirational figure becomes the avatar of how nothing is their fault and if they were just given the chance to be special they would be the best. It's honestly disgusting.
>>
>>286701790
He is a crybaby bitch

I don't know how popular an oppinion this is but is Shoto too powerful? Everyone else is a normal person with a gimmick while he shows up and solves whatever's happening by shitting infinite ice everywhere while standing completely still. I like his character but nothing feels tense when he's on screen.

Is vigilantes good past the first season? Knuckle Duster is the best character in this entire series.
>>
>>286721970
Gotta say, "OI YOU GOT A LOISENCE FER HEROING?" is the lamest part of this anime. Seeing a bunch of superheroed teens mumbling about how they cant save anyone or the cops will be upset is so bitchmade.
>>
>>286721970
Yes. Though Knuckleduster won't show up as much as in the first season. And three episodes went to an Aizawa flashback.
>>
>>286722045
It's such an astounding and massive misunderstanding of the super hero genre. I know Asians love them some bureaucracy but goddamn. Frankly as a long time comic reader the whole concept of the book rubs me the wrong way. It's not like superhero schools haven't been done a whole bunch but what even is this.
>>
>>286713372
every top hero had ridiculous super strength on top of whatever quirk they had too for some reason

idk never watched his show but I've nutted many times to his gay doujins so he can't be that bad.
>>
>>286721014
It's quite simple really. Tajiro isn't a demon slayer because he wanted to be. He didn't do it because ALL MIGHT IS TEH SUPER COOLEST! He does it because he has to. Because if he doesn't he might lose his sister. Tanjiro is motivated by tragedy. Deku is just a fanboy who wants to be a hero because it looks fun. He wants power to be cool. This is not an endearing character trait. Most heroes will have some inciting incident or tragedy that forces them. They suffer a great loss. They feel they have a great responsibility. Deku is a spoiled little shit stain who doesn't really suffer. Even his bullying would have been avoided if he left the bully alone.

Nothing wrong with Deku wanting to be a hero because All Might inspired him and its cool. Its the fact that he's a doormat for his bully and simps for hero society. Ochako had better development than him and used her position to make a positive change with the consuling. She should have been the MC.

You tell em, Jeremy. You cute trans Decvck fan.
>>
>>286723783
You are saying this like GODjiro wouldn’t headbutt Bakugo in front of everyone if he ever dared a similar stunt, or broke his wrist.
He literally did that the bakugo equivalent of KnY and his little brother too.
The only reason he was so merciful with the guy who stabbed him is due him being a poor and broken guy manipulated by a demon while he is basically a super human
>>
Is Bakugo actually a bully or is it just tumblrgirls hung up over him saying "Unalive yourself, Deku." in episode 1? When Deku came out of nowhere with a cheat skill and even admitted to someone giving it to him his response was basically "Fine, get stronger so we can fight again."
>>
>>286723783
wait that shit on the left is real?? kek

You're so sweet and valid when you samefag, Jimbo. Tell me what you're wearing right now.

I'm genuinely happy the fanbase got as homoerotic as it did. They executed the themes even better than hori. BakuDeku forever.

Threw away his entire identity and now sits behind a computer screen & watches grapejuice streams. This is how he became the worlds greatest porn addict.
>>
>>286721533
Decuck at any point of his career could have killed him.
>>
>>286727712
Yes, Green One Punch Man could kill him. Fuck off to /co/ if you like Death Battle slop

>Shoto is too powerful yet the main character can one-tap him
Did you miss the point, sir?
