The fact that the Japanese loved the ending and the Americans did not is directly linked to the notion of success and heroism that each has.

For the Japanese, success is helping society. For Americans, success is being famous, powerful and getting the hot girl. You see this all the time in Hollywood. That's why the idea of the greatest hero of all being the one who sacrifices himself for others doesn't make sense to them. On the other hand, they think it's completely valid to compare a professor (from the most prestigious university in the world) with a fast food employee.

Their problem with the ending is not artistic, it's personal.

... and then hori cucked out and gave him what you describe as the "american ending", further solidifying it was a shit ending.

Deku is a cuck lmao

Why are Americans so obsessed with projecting cuckholdry?

>For the japanese, success means giving up your dreams because you don't have the most overpowered quirk ever despite their being quirkless heroes who don't have access to the kind of gadgets deku could have
>It also means not dating the girl you have a crush on even though she likes you too for no real reason

I would feel bad for horicucks and their terminal stupidity if they weren't so antagonistic to anyone who doesn't like their favorite jap capeshit series.

nobody liked the ending

But nips didn't either, considering he added an additional epilogue where deku got all the recognition and another one hinting to him ending with ochako, even if he didn't.
You don't do that if the people in your country are happy with it

First MHA Issue

>Midoriya: "This is the the story about how I achieved my dream and became the greatest hero of all time."

Last MHA Issue

>Midoriya: "Actually, I lost all my powers, became a regular teacher, and eight years later pretty much everyone has moved on. I became a foot note in history quickly forgotten. Everyone else became cool heroes and someone else has been #1 for a while. I live alone and don't see any of the old gang at all, they are living my dream."

WHY ARE PEOPLE ACTING LIKE THERE WAS SOME SORT OF BAIT AND SWITCH!?

I'm sorry, but no, Americans don't view heroism as wanting to be famous. Batman, Spider-Man, the X-Men... they're not famous in-universe and they don't care, they just want to help. Even heroes that are famous like Superman or Captain America don't give a shit about fame. Heroes who sacrifice themselves for others are beloved in the West, it is considered the ultimate act of heroism.
If anything, it's the My Hero Academia's ranking system that is completely antithetical to how American superhero media works.

That's something that's been bugging me for years. The whole concept of rivalry over a glorified popularity contest isn't really a thing in American superhero media, outside of stuff like The Boys but there it's clearly shown to be a bad thing.

Shipfaggotry has nothing to do with heroism which didn't get understood in the first place

This is correct.
Also MHA is hot garbage, that's also correct.

The concept of heroes being ranked by popularity wasn't really explored much anyway outside of endeavor being jealous of allmight but It could've been interesting if handled differently. Like if the heroes were obsessed with ranking up because it means more money, fame, sponsorship deals, women, etc. So they start secretly causing crimes and creating villains for them to fight to increase their standing. Losing sight of the real meaning of heroism and now only use it as a means to fulfill their selfish desires. But as is it's just kinda there and without the rankings the story wouldn't change much.

American comics have actually done those kinds of plots several times, with those fake celebrity-obsessed heroes usually getting exposed and/or taken down by the good guys.
