“If Bakugo and Midoriya don’t end up together by the end I’m gonna be disappointed not because I want it but since the fanbase and show hyped them up so much,” says my husband, who only watches the anime

Random MHA opinions nobody asked for:
(I just wanted to make a list to get them out of my head)
The Endeavor vs Dabi discourse is really dumb. Neither of them are in the right, so the fights turn out to be an argument of ‘who’s less bad’
Characters like Hawks, Dabi and Endeavor aren’t supposed to be placed in a box of right or wrong
Having mixed feelings about Hawks killing Twice is exactly the point
While there’s a lot of stuff you can dislike about Endeavor, you can’t lie and say he’s incompetent
While the female cast is good, they still don’t get as much screen time and development as the male cast.
Batman Deku is the dumbest take ever
No one can be the main character of MHA other than Deku. Wanting anyone else for the MC just says you want a completely different story and MHA isn’t for you
Mina has a greater impact on Kirishima’s life than anyone else in the cast
Kacchako isn’t a bad ship, but is very underdeveloped and lacking in content to back up all these ‘narrative foils’ stuff. (And the lack of emphasis on those frustrates me and still make me dislike it)
Sometimes authors forget to write a girl as a good friend before a love interest. That applies to Ochako too, sometimes
"Uraraka isn't bad written, just underutilized" is a weak argument because underutilization IS bad writing
Eraserjoke is just het Erasermic with less chemistry and depth
Deku and Ochako are too similar to each other. There has to be more contrast, more parallels, more interactions outside of hero work or group situations for me to like them
That being said, Togachako is the best Ochako ship. Also maybe partly because my expectations for number of interactions is much lower when a ship isn’t hinted to be endgame
Same point as Izuocha, Kirideku doesn’t work for me. Sunshine x sunshine is way too much
But evil x evil, pretty x pretty, and idiot x idiot work. Idk why, but that’s probably why I like Shigadabi, Todomomo and Kirikami
Iida is a good character y’all are just mean
Stain’s ideology isn’t right. There are people who want to make money like and can still be selfless, like Ochako. Killing a fake hero isn’t the right way. People can change, like how Mt. Lady went from a hero that only wanted fame and money to wrestling Gigantomachia
If Bakugo were a girl, a lot more people would ship bkdk. Not just because it’s het, but also because a female rival character who is also the deuteragonist in shonen is practically unheard of
I thought Kiribaku and Bakudeku would be sister ships because krbks and bkdks both ship Bakugo with a sunshine character that can understand that asshole, and love his character development. I guess this isn’t about Bakugo
All Might is a good mentor character. Saying he’s a bad character is like saying Shigaraki’s a bad villain. Them starting out as a bad mentor/villain is the point. Also, it’s good to see a mentor that isn’t a know-it-all an has space to grow alonside the MC
Bakugo is the underdog among the Big Three. Deku is the chosen one, Shoto was born the number two hero’s son. Bakugo only had a strong quirk and great combat abilities, which is great when comparing it to everyone else, but isn’t really much when comparing him to Deku and Shoto
Gran Torino should have died. There’s really no reason for him to still be alive
Kaminari is not the same as Mineta. I’m not saying this because I hate Mineta, they really just aren’t
Mineta does have a redeeming trait or two, but that’s nowhere near enough for Mineta stans to tell people to stop hating him. Tho I do think Mineta slander is getting old
Deku having six more quirks is not an asspull
Bakucamie is a good ship, I love their dynamic and find them hilarious, but I hate it whenever someone only ships them for the sake of making the ship set all straight
The Joint Training Arc being good or bad is subjective. It depends how invested you are in these characters. I read JTA on 2018 for the sake of binging the manga right after watching the anime, and I found it boring. I didn’t get to actually take a break and get used to most of the students. Rereading it on 2021, I really enjoy that arc
The Mirio return sucked. Too crowded, too many reveals at once. It could’ve been saved for later (I do have this theory that maybe Hori returned Mirio now so that the stockpile for Eri’s quirk would be empty. So maybe she will be able to heal Deku, but Deku will have to be armless for an arc of two. But still think it sucks)
Dabi is a crazy ass motherfucker and it’s okay to like him for that. Dabi stans who’ve had their soft Dabi hcs disproven and try to make him sound soft, shut up. Him being a really cool villain and a murderer is what makes him a good character
Momo is a better leader than Iida in terms of... leading? Iida’s just better at maintaining order
Saying ‘character development doesn’t matter’ when calling characters like Bakugo or Endeavor bad characters is an opinion, not a fact. Character development does matter, and is one of the most important elements of an ongoing manga
The school festival arc was not a waste of time. It is shown in that arc that heroes can and should be able to save people’s hearts. That point is brought up when the LOV’s backstories where revealed in the MVA arc
Y’all have to stop simping over every new character revealed. They aren’t even that hot
Dynamight is a good hero name. It really suits Bakugo, corny and over the top with the Great Explosion Murder God
Shoto is not a sass god. He’s just genuinely aloof and dense. He’s unintentionally funny, and that’s what makes him so great
MHA should not end with all the straight ships getting together and having kids. As much as I like most of the ships, that’s probably the worst kind of ending
Summing Bakugo and Deku’s relationship to bully and victim is incredibly shallow and insulting, to Hori’s writing, Bakugo’s character development, and Deku
Shinso and Monoma’s chaotic energy is the best part about the 5th match of JTA
There’s no way Bakugo Katsuki is straight
Shinkami has more to it than just Kaminari calling Shinso hot
‘All Might should’ve died in Kamino’ is a dumb take. Some of y’all really just want some kind of ‘serious setback’ for Deku without considering how All Might not dying at that time and dying much later can be way better for the plot as a whole
Most ‘(character) has an underrated quirk’ takes are dumb. There was some theory that Ochako should be the most powerful character because she can manipulate time or space (I honestly don’t remember what. Just some physics shit), and that was dumb. Do y’all just forget that the scale of the power and a person’s limits matter in determining how powerful a character is?
Might+U playing in the background of the Bakugo and Deku vs Nine fight was good. No, it shouldn’t be hype music.
Calling Hawks an abuse apologist, especially at this point of the story, is incredibly dumb
The dub has tendencies of mischaracterizing some characters. While they don’t affect the overall plot, they can affect a person’s view of these characters.
I know y’all wanna hype Aizawa up, but saying “technically he’s the most powerful because all his quirk does is lower the playing field!” is dumb. All it does? As if lowering the playing field doesn’t do much? Taking away the quirk is already a huge deal. Saying that he’s powerful because the quirk is powerful feels more accurate.
Bakugo and Momo’s gifted child syndrome/inferiority complex (idk if my terms are right) aren’t shallow and just lame character tropes. They mean a lot if you can relate to them. The same way with Ochako. People who can’t relate to wanting to earn money to help your parents can’t relate to her or like her. (Tbh I can’t cuz where I live filial piety is just everywhere? There’s nothing special or emotional about giving your parents money so that they can live easy lives when they get old. It’s practically duty. But I get why people like her and relate to her)
Dabihawks vs Endhawks is also dumb af. They’re both ‘problematic’, and that’s perfectly fine. One of them’s an age gap ship (technically legal but still uncomfortable), one of them’s an enemy lovers ship (not enemies to lovers. They’re both at the same time) that have tried to kill each other
Society falling apart after the war was predictable. It's the smaller specific details that make it interesting. And the emotions of grief and despair shown in pages.
Okay I’m out of shit to say.
