       You know, I tend to defend MHA against its more rabid haters on Fedi, but I do think it was pretty telling how the Epilogue had like NONE of the notable U.A. students getting married or even dating (and it's a pretty big timeskip, so age is no longer a good explanation), arguably just as blatant a case of Western brainrot (in this case Career over Family) as the miscegenation and the two tranny characters. Contrast that with Demon Slayer's ending, which paired up pretty much ALL the surviving characters (including at least one pair that had barely interacted in the story), with ZERO fag representation (unless the main villain gender bending at one point counts) and the difference becomes especially stark. Demon Slayer doesn't really feel compromised by Western/kike subversion at all, despite tourists slandering Tanjiro as being a hippy who wants to hug demons instead of killing them.

       The problem with MHA is the same as it ever was: The Mangaka is a westaboo faggot that worships American comic books.

       @ChristiJunior Naruto made a big (huge) point of that too. MHA feels like a boomer anime, the only characters that matter are the ones on the screen right now.I really didn't like MHA. The main character cried too much. He was a rule following mary sue who got almost everything handed to him. The heroes had zero motivation. The villains made no sense. The plot had zero tension for at least the first 3 seasons. The only arc I kind of liked was the Yakuza arc, because finally there was a story, with an end goal, and tension. Then they immediately killed it off.

       @Goalkeeper @ChristiJunior western comics have the "forever young" setup. Reimu in Touhou is never going to grow up, for example, and a similar standard applies with those comics: Spider-Man will always be a struggling college-age student because that's what his story embodies. shounen doesn't have that excuse, since there is no "status quo" to be kept: Naruto will grow up and have Boruto, and Deku is going to be "the greatest hero" from day one. if MHA was just the episodic adventures and not "here's the endgame from the start but let's meander for several seasons" then it would have turned out a lot better

       @Owl For the most part it's a fun Shonen series that's actually decently paced, and most of the big moments hit pretty hard. For the first two seasons I remember it actually being pretty well-liked among pseudo-/ourguys/ like E;R, as well as on Gab back when that place still had Anime Nazis rather than just Boomer Paypigs.

       It's not so much the forever young mentality. It's that the story can be infinitely reset because that's the precedent. Manga is a very point A to clearly defined point B setup. You'll never see another team work on a reboot of MHA because that's not the JP industry.

       @SIC_Guy @ChristiJunior the central antagonist for MHA is a perfect mirror to Deku. In that hes an entirely uninteresting element in the series and gets handed down everything to prop him up at the expense of the supporting cast.The Decuck ending was probably the funniest thing. Hori had to make an additional chapter to make it halfway satisfying

       @rlier23 Another oft-overlooked example: Redemption never comes cheap or easy in Demon Slayer, even the (few) sympathetic demons are explicitly stated to end up in hell, they can't just be bailed out by their loved ones or have their crimes excused by sad backstories. At best their loved ones will accompany them in hell to make their time atoning more bearable.Contrast that with MHA treating someone like Himiko Toga as 10 times more sympathetic than she actually is (she genuinely was a freak, and her sick desires really SHOULD be suppressed).

       @SNEK @ChristiJunior Yeah, I think the problem with most Shonen Stuff are authors who cannot seem to STOP MAKING CHARACTERS.You cannot keep making one-shot/side-characters more interesting that the main cast and then expect fans to care when something tragic happens.

       @SIC_Guy @ChristiJunior it's less a problem with Shounenslop on general and more of an issue with the weekly model. Monthly Shounen can handle an ensemble casts well enough (Golden Kamuy, FMA, D Grayman)Not everyone is a superhuman like Toriyama (and even he felt the fatigue like during Android saga). The business model and editorial process is typically the issue. If you're struggling to make numbers and stay relevant, maybe a new cool character might put you in the ranks again

       @SNEK @ChristiJunior Its well known that Toriyama had slammed heads with his editor. ESPECIALLY, during the Android Saga and because of ruining his plans with Gohan.Remember, spite is a good motivator because "Battle of Gods" and "Super Broly" only exist due to Hollywood shitting on HIS characters.

       @SNEK @ChristiJunior We'll never know. Just saying its a possibility when you had retards tearing up LN's, snapping DVD's and posting them online in a tantrum. :shrug4:

       @ChristiJunior Darling in the Franxx is good in this regard, iirc it ends with everybody pared off besides the fat guy and the rapidly aging lesbian. (sorry fat guy, hang in there bro)

       @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @ChristiJunior No doubt the reason Darling in the Franxx mysteriously was not nominated for any awards by crunchyshit despite Zero Two being fucking EVERYWHERE.

       @ChristiJunior @SNEK Considering that a waifu viz-a-viz a character that embodies a guy's ideal is not ontologically the same as the character viz-a-viz the person with the narrative's world as the narrative, who gives the appearance and personality of the waifu, it shouldn't be a problem. Ex. Me wanting a smart, soft, matter-of-fact, nerdy, and needy girl embodied closely by the likes of Patchouli Knowledge is not me being actually pursuing or marrying the real Patchouli of the Scarlet Devil Mansion within ESoD and other Touhou works.Where is that really old 4chan meme about multiple guys loving the "same" waifu have copies of her, featuring Hatsune Miku?

       @Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @ChristiJunior what's really bad is they had him get cucked plus humiliated. Even choki from Naruto didn't get screwed over like that.

       @ChristiJunior well there was a reason why mccuckhold deku was a thing when the manga ended
