I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain a basic fight scene to people who seem to have been unable to understand what happened. Ex. >Delaware Detroit Smash is a combination of Delaware smash (The air pressure attack) and Detroit smash (The punch). He blew away the protective muscles and then got a clear hit in with a detroit smash. At this point I'm convinced like 90% of the criticism is coming from literal retards too stupid to understand a kids comic.
I personally blame the rampant shitposting on this board and website in general. If you're regularly in a thread and you gotta see the same retarded spam over and over again then you're gonna quickly start writing off a lot of criticisms because you feel you've seen it all before. Which only further insolates the community and make them less receptive when someone does try to make a criticism of the story in good faith. Which just perpetuates animosity between specific fandoms and the board as a whole. I dunno what can really be done about it though.
I picked MHA up right as we first started getting scans so I've seen the threads change a lot and I remember when you could say you thought a part was weak or that you'd wished that Hori had done something differently. Something changed around Kamino/Yakuza arcs and we've never been able to go back to the old threads.
It honestly bums me out a bit cause I remember really enjoying experiencing the series with everyone else here and that part of the joy has kinda gone away for the most part when you have to sift through a sea of muck to get the genuine posts.
Honestly I find the hate and love the series gets to be crazy on both sides. Just the lengths some people will go to shit on/defend a piece of media is insane. Of course you can't really do anything about it so I guess you just gotta enjoy what you can.
>Delaware Detroit Smash is a combination of Delaware smash (The air pressure attack) and Detroit smash (The punch). He blew away the protective muscles and then got a clear hit in with a detroit smash. This doesn't sound stupid at all

You really can't do anything about it which is the sad thing, all that matters is understanding the genuine people/posts which sucks because you cant do anything more, but what are you gonna do.
Liam Brown
It might be easier to understand if MHA didn't have a retarded naming convention.
Easton Adams
Nice blog faggot
Jace White
the people that come into your generals to shit on MHA and pester you fans over shit don't want to understand anything
the people that don't come into your generals because they don't care about MHA don't want to hear dumb fanshit about your manga
John Russell
If the only thing people do about a battle shounen is argue about how unrealistic the fights are, then it's either shit or the fanbase is shit. Either way something is bad.
Unironically a good blogpost. I feel like the yakuza arc was too base-breaking. Either you loved it or you absolutely hated it, and this caused the current state of mha threads. There was also the seven quirks reveal, which was a bad decision that was foreshadowed but became even more of a shitpost than 1,000,000 %.

>Something changed around Kamino/Yakuza arcs and we've never been able to go back to the old threads. isn't that when the anime started airing? animeonly faggots are usually the bane of every manga that aside i agree 100% i too wish we could have good discussion every thread but instead the best we get are 1-2 good threads during spoiler day pic related is a good example of fun shitposting and we rarely get that nowdays another problem is newfags giving free (You)s instead of ignoring and reporting that aside, don't give up user there's still people who want to actually discuss the manga and have fun, even if buried in a pile of shit
>Yakuza arc is the shittiest part of the series (or one of them) and showcases a lot of inherent flaws in Hori's style of writing and the manga at large >normal people drop manga when it hits a low like that >committed people stay on because they REALLY like the idea or just want to see the story through/hope it gets better >retards/fujos/whatever stay or join during shitty arcs because bad writing attracts them/they do not care for writing and only for retarded shipping shit/face value action scenes This is why shit changed with the Yakuza arc. Most normal people left. You still have some good eggs who want to see BNHA through, but most people left are fujos, retards and children/spics who are way too attached to the franchise and lose it if you criticize any aspect of Hori's writing.
It's an unfortunate truth. The spam and the shipping has gotten to the point where the decent posts and the fun shitposting has been drowned out. It's just depressing is what it is. Especially since right now is probably the peak of the series.
Jordan Thomas
The only issue with seven quirks is "muh hard work" faggots, all of whom can catch a bullet. That was foreshadowed way in advance when it was revealed that OfA was a fusion of a power-stockpiling quirk and transference quirk.
Jeremiah Anderson
What was so bad about the Yakuza arc? It introduced actual stakes and consequences, no Bakugo, the high school shit took the backseat, etc.

>At this point I'm convinced like 90% of the criticism is coming from literal retards too stupid to understand a kids comic. It's not that I don't understand the fights, it's that I stopped caring about the pants on head retarded plot and started noticing the retarded shit in the fights themselves.
The fact that MHA isn't deku or anyone else using their brains for the entire fight just to wait for BIG PAUNCH! doesn't do the series any good.
Carter Torres
He used his brain well against Gentle
Zachary Garcia
Cliche-ridden writing. Went on too long.
Elijah Collins
>It introduced actual stakes and consequences and all of that was thrown out the window
Nicholas Gray
>cliche-ridden I mean that's just all shonen honestly, I never expect shonen to not be cliched in general. >Went on too long. Could see that. I read it in one sitting rather than over gradual release so it probably mitigated that effect.
Wyatt Butler
How? One major character lost his quirk and another character straight up died. That arc has more of a sense of consequence than any other arc in the series besides the stuff about Endeavor fucking up his family life.
Jaxson James
Mirio got his quirk back and no one gives about Nighteye
Robert Powell
Yeah eventually. The arc itself still has the loss of the quirk as a consequence. Also Nighteye's death was very impactful to the characters, killing off a character is about the effects on the narrative, not about taking away the reader's favorite toy.
