He gave up before he ever tried. That's not endearing. And people try to hand wave it away by saying "Well he would have failed or got turned away" which is probably an accurate statement but it's beside the point. The hero needs to TRY and you need to show him failing or getting rejected for his sorrow and rise to have any meaning. It's not about actually succeeding on your first go. Trying shows conviction and strength of character. Steve Rogers trying multiple times to enlist shows his determination. Deku had a dream he didn't even want to try for and it's written off as life being unfair so nothing is his responsibility. He only wanted to be a hero if he could be the best hero and when that wasn't an option he didn't try to be his best hero he gave up. This is dreadful character building. He's a spoiled sissy who quits when it was too hard and only tried after he was promised the shiny. Captain America didn't enlist because he was promises the super soldier serum. He enlisted and struggled because he believed it was the right thing to do and was rewarded because he had true strenght of character. Deku should have been more like Steve Rogers.

The whole thing kind of falls apart when even a lot of his classmates have fairly mundane powers.

But still, you are right. Deku didn't even try. Which is not a good look for a character who is all about being a superhero.

I think that's also part of the problem. His mom didn't think he'd be a hero but she never really tried to stop him either. He was pretty well doted on all things considered. The world never really treated him badly for being quirkless. He wasn't an outcast or pariah. He just couldn't be the one thing. Sucks but not the end of the world. A lot of people end up not being the thing they want to be. I know a lot fewer astronauts, musicians and ninja than young me would have hoped to see.

I think there's just something fundamentally off putting when a character actually WANTS power. Most super heroes are either born with it or get it in accident for a reason. Even if you want to be the good guy it still reads as kind self motivating. Ed messed with power and it bit him in the ass. Him getting rid of it at the end for his family's sake is the sensible and thematic choice. He didn't want it. He wanted his brother. Deku wants power to... well be famous really. To be cool. He's not motivated for the greater good because he'd be out helping people in small ways.

Honestly I think a a few smaller changed could have gone a big way. If Deku wasn't chosen but got OFA as an accident, maybe his running after the slime monster is treated like a mistake and he caused All Might injury and they needed to transfer it then and there. Now Deku has to deal with the responsibility he didn't he fully understand. He becomes a super hero but now realizes that "Oh yeah, being a super hero fucking sucks."

People really shouldn't gloss over the fact that the mutual attraction between Ed and Winry got resolved like 2/3 way into the story. She admits she's in love, he basically admits the same. It's not a question of "will they realize their feelings and confess?" but "will they have the chance to settle down or will something bad happen". Which makes the epilogue an expected and satisfying outcome rather than a gamble that paid off.

All Horikoshi had to do was end the original final chapter with Deku noticing a mugger or gangster threatening someone in an alley and stepping forward to stop it. End it with a heroic shot of him striding confidently forward while rolling up his sleeve (revealing that he continued training without AFO) or show him easily restraining them with CQC and a gadget or two. Just SOMETHING to show that he never truly gave up on being a hero and still does his part even without his powers. Instead, Hori had him moping around until he got handed an Ironman suit after almost a decade of touch and go friendships.

He is specifically a closeted homo. He obviously enjoys drawing boys more than girls, gave his MC the gayest possible relationship with his 'friend', daddy issues and kinks everywhere, guys obsessing over each other, and women are treated as both expendable and completely pointless if they aren't whores (because he doesn't really understand why else would anyone care about them).

The funny thing is that realistically, Mineta would be the only male in class 1A to score given that he's the only one that's bothering to make it happen. He could probably convince Jirou to jerk him off with some light negging.

Nah, the military characters, Riza and Roy anyway, are likely going to die someday. Earlier in the story Riza says it’s their plan to eventually be tried for their war crimes.

The "try to redeem a mass murderer" thing is particularly pathetic, not for any moralfag reasons, but because he failed where MC's with less moral scruples and outright morally bankrupt succeeded with flying colors.

He is not a hero. He is not inspirational. He's a brat who wanted fame and lucked himself into the top tier power of the setting. Then he lost it, but the manga failed to portray that teaching others is a heroic thing as well, so of course he gets a nepobaby suit that allows him to play a hero again.
He's a pathetic wimp who allows his bully to walk all over him. The way this manga treats bullying is straight up unhealthy, this shit is disgusting.
He has probably the worst romantic storyline in the entire genre. I cannot describe how pathetic it was, probably because the author was afraid of the fujo meltdown.

Should have been a hidden psychopath who was more insane for of the thrill of being a complete mad lad as a hero who risks his life than a actual traditional hero(like a certain known green clad protagonist who is genuinely crazy and unstable and name rhymes with ron).

This manga should have been more darker, like the todoroki sub plot barely scratching the surface of the true fucked up shit and all the characters deconstructions of the shonen template types, Bakugou could truly be a total near Punisher esqe character and a nihilist who craves power because its all he knows and wants to die on

Ochako would be more selfish and realistic about her situation as a down to earth workaholic to make any buck and wouldn't hesitate to sell a friend down the road for cash.

Todoroki is basically Kurapika and Seto Kaiba but more twisted and broken minded and cant function outside a single minded goal, make his father pay, also more a edgy anti-hero who uses others to get towards his goals than just becomes a useless stoic third wheel crying for daddy.

he's not very heroic nor inspiring but the story tries to convince you that he is but in the most backhanded way imaginable. For somebody aspiring to be hero he didn't really try before he was promised power, knowing full well (being a hero nerd and all) that physical ability is required even with quirks. That's like dreaming of being in the nba without learning how to dribble, shoot, or pass. He does try hard once he gets power but nothing that really sets him apart from the other guys aiming for the top

He is selfless I guess but it's weird in that he lacks the day to day good guy stuff and most of his moments have be him barging in on somebody's trauma. One of the most bothersome things about the framing of the story and how it played out is that Deku really didn't do anything at all to change the world or how things worked but the story tries to credit him. At the end of the day he's just a vessel for OfA which damn near any of those other driven, kind, and caring hero kids could have been with similar, probably even better results. His "big moment" to the world is he tried hard but looked like a bitch so that "inspired" other people somehow. He also never really achieved his main goal of greatest hero and quite frankly never came even remotely close to All Might's legacy. Then there's the ending

Mineta is a coward and a bigger cucked pussy than Deku, weak both inside and out. He needs others pity and power to achieve a minimum of standard sucess, while being sneaky and gross. That's why girls hate him.

Iida wants to use his heroic reputation to rise up as a leader of order and near political leader levels of hero society, but becomes colder and more ruthless about it as the majority of wild card villains and some heroes start showing the gap he has between him and them

Tsuyu has a tragic backstory aimed at the discrimination of quirk users who have physical mutations and gene abnormalities, not actually having a quirk and having a perfect marble statue human appearance, she overcomes this by proving herself hard as possibe but having trauma over never being as beautiful as Ochako or Momo

Mina is the sad clown party clown who just wants to enjoy hero glory and fortune for the rushes and highs but to escape her horrid past as probably a young abused girl working the streets because her parents were broke and couldn't afford to care for her, she becomes more into the hero thing morally over more of hero classmates, because she wanted to purpose in life outside of being a hot kid hooker, serves as one of the few who calls out the immorality of her team actions.

Kirishima is straight up autistic(more so than Todoroki belive it or not) and shows how a difficult being a high elite child with a disability is by just wearing his emotions on his sleeve and having only the tunnel vision of masculinity really doesnt work, he gets more depressed when his friends break his world view of how cruel and ruthless things must be to become a strong and capable person

manga pacing, My Hero Academia should have last all the 3 years of highschool, this is how each arc should have happened chronologicaly

Year 1:
>All Might vs Noumou
>Tournament Arc
>Music Festival Arc
>Mirio training arc
>Competition between highschools arc
>Camping arc
>All Might vs All For One
All Might dies and Midoriya gets depressed but starts crying less this leads to the start of the second year

Year 2:
>Midoriya vs Bakugou arc
>Overhaul introduction arc
>Nighteye internship arc
>Endeavor vs High End
>Introduction to ReDestro
>Overhaul arrest arc
the creation of the High End noumou should have been tied to Overhaul and ReDestro should have been introduced as an ally of the Overhaul yakuza clan

Year 3:
>My Villain Academia arc
>Endeavor internship arc
>Mirio vs Shigaraki (Mirio DIES)
>Dark Knight Deku arc
>War arc
>All For One vs Deku

Momo is possibly the darkest and most realistic character out of the class mains, only rivaled by Todoroki and Iida, shes basically a hight status rich representative of the schools funding born to be prepared for political loveless marriage and succession of the bloodlines wealth, shes wants to severe ties to that life and gain her own independence and wealth, desperately becomes a cruel and caculating aristocratic monster changing her demure rich girl image into a mission control resource center for the classes needs as heroes to become the best, shes essentially Batman but kills villains

Jirou is the classes rebel rocker tomboy with a vulgar and politically incorrect mindset, thinking Revy/Juri Han but a support heroine than a murder machine. She swears and insults more than Bakugou, gets more irritated by boring and stuck up people like Iida and Todoroki, but likes Momo somehow. Her thing is she has a washed up alcholoic musician dad and her mom left him, she hated her ever since and wanted to enroll into a school where she can get a job to support her dad, she also kills villains her sound quirk.

Kaminari is just a deconstruction of a class clown/frat boy being a natural badass, starts out insulting and bullying deku along with bakugou but becomes less of this because deku beats his ass so bad it scares him straight to respect him and it turns out he was bullied as a child and is scared of being seen as weak and hopeless, is the possibly the most vocally sexist and perverted of the student involving the female class after Mineta, but again fears being humiliated or hurt when they stand up to them, he probably gets killed during the story to prove hes not all talk.

I know it's been overplayed, but compare Deku to Asta. Asta said that he was going to try and become Wizard King and still aimed for it, even without having power.

As for prejudice, the only for sure Quirkless people were Deku, OFA before getting the power, and maybe that one human cop.

Tokoyami is like Tsuyu, troubled by his appearance with his quirk, but unlike her, he uses it as a cult like inspiration to get followers to uprise the prejudice of society and uses his quirk to become the shadow of vengeance, enrolling in kohei because his goal is to create a revolution for freaks like him who prey on physicallh mutated quirk users like him as villains. Has the 4rd highest kill count behind Todoroki, Bakugou, and Deku.

Mineta is basically every rape and ugly man protagonist in a dark porn parody but dwarf shaped and very cunning. He views all women as slave like objects to possess and learned this from his horribly depraved father, so he basically is the classes default straight foward villain, whos the comic relief because his antics won't work on the good females, only the villain females, the grape rapist.

Sero is the second comic relief, but unfortunately useless overall, trying to embody the idea of being the cool loser like Spider-Man(Uses his tape quirk in a similar way) but fails due to not being as smart, as physically capable or having the motivation to achieve the effort. Hes one of the most genuinely heroic characters and cares about doing the bright thing next to Mina but hes not taken serious and nearly overlooked by everyone being a loose canon asshole.

Sato like the hulk has a existential crisis about being a tool of others of his strength and angsts about having no use than being a power house to destroy not protect lives, hes pretty sweet and pacifist despite his rough apparence, and tries to mediate conflict with his words and help them psychologically with their struggles, but since this is a grim dark setting is doesnt stick. Dies sacrificing his life for Deku who uses his death to keep being a kind hero out of determination

Mashirao turns into a warrior monk that's obsessed with perfecting his skills in battle, but not like Bakugou who will discard his finer morals for more success and power, straight up a bro

This is what I don't get with modern Jap fiction. It's the fact that their concept of pure is being a timid virgin or an autistic retard or masochist that gets beat up all the time. It used to be a banchou archetype. Hotheaded guy but has morality and favors justice.

He's what you get when you do Shinji except without the understanding that this character type is *mentally ill*. Deku is presented as *likeable* when he simply is not: one realizes MHA is a bad manga upon his immediate acceptance for no discernable reason by the rest of his hero classmates. Meanwhile Bakugo is neither unpopular nor popular, and nobody finds his behavior offputting or frightening, he just exists so that can Deku can demonstrate his endless grace and good will. There's nothing going on psychologically in the story.

Kek. Hori is so comically afraid of drawing guys with developed glutes that the anime actually changed this panel. No man into men would draw these asses, not even the worst closet case out there.
>Hawks all bloodies[sic] up and shirtless
He's a popular and important character, why wouldn't he show up during the later scenes? Where exactly was he supposed to get a shirt? Characterfags are braindead. Thanks for reminding me how mediocre his slim male chests are though, he might like muscles but he has no passion for the male form.
