Questionable Questing

No I said feminist specifically, but it was more of a joke and yet not. The big problem with this update is Mineta, I need a way for him and Robin to connect on a more emotional level or else Robin, and by extension the players, will keep thinking of him as a joke and never focus on him. And the way I found it is Robin opens up about how being beautiful means no one trusts you with anything important.

And the struggles she had being respected as more than a whore or someone in need of rescuing. WHile Mineta opens up how being seen as ugly limits him and how jealousy he is of the idea of hordes of people fawning over him. It's a natural conflict between the two characters viewpoints, and with no right or wrong answers to cloud it.

Very Class of 009

I didn't think of that, but yeah I can see it. Of course Robin will be a lot more eloquent and even concede some of her point to Mineta. She's too vain to ever give up her beauty even with the drawbacks it comes with, and she's self aware enough to admit that. But again it's a way for her, and by extension the readers, to connect with Mineta on a deeper level that doesn't feel unearned.

I did not like how canon handled it. Having Midnight give him a pep talk and then instantly die afterwards with Mineta feeling guilty and swearing to live up to her ideals. It felt so forced and even a little mean spirited considering how many ass-pulls other heroes were given to keep them from dying.

Her death was even more pointless and dirty than I originally thought.

Also wasn't it implied she was raped too

Yeah, that one was just fucking rough. I don't know what the author had against her, but God damn. I thought I was reading some edgy knock off when I saw it the first time. Same with Mirko getting three of her limbs blasted off. It just felt needlessly edgy and cruel to add some stakes to a story that increasingly felt like it had none.

Fortunately I can go ahead and spoil it for you. lol. But where not having that in my story. I'm not going to say it's impossible for some characters to die, but it would take the readers doing some pretty stupid stuff for that to happen. Especially right now, since Miss Midnight's a pro hero and All for One's trying to stay under the radar. The legitimate death risk comes later.

And why did the story have no stakes?
Also, milf mind control corruption changing their outfits to slutty

And by then Miss Midnight is already pushing herself out of her semi formal retirement thanks to Miss Robin's prodding and her powers going to get a little bit of a buff from canon thanks to the specialized training she's doing. So if she does get taken out, it'll be a much harder fight.

But I think the lack of stakes really hit when they asspulled Bakugo coming back from getting his heart blown out. And of course for a Japen supposedly being a country at war against literal terrorist armies at this point of villains, why wasn't their any guns? Why weren't there any army units? Why were the heroes still talking about the villains surrendering?

I'm not saying Izuku or even any of the kids should ever start murdering people. Beyond maybe the team arguing about it and refusing to stoop to that level. But if you wanted a great way to not only increase the tension in the story but also add some moral dilemmas and political commentary MHA was so fond of, having all the pro heroes getting increasingly brutal and angry towards the villains would've been perfect.

Really hammer home this is a war. There are a lot of casualties, and every day Izuku fails to stop All for One is another day where they slowly win. Not in the strategic way, but in forcing all the heroes down to his level and corrupting them. All for One was supposed to be a master manipulator, show him actually doing that instead of having a bunch of meaningless monologues.

Didn't Best Jeanist have to save Bakugo and die himself?

Did MHA really want political commentary or wad it as I think always a side bit

Yep Best Jeanist literally turned himself into a heart. Somehow and since he was a stronger heart it gave Bakugo a power up too. lol. Sounds like a meme. I turned myself into a pickle! I turned myself into a heart, Morty!

But with the political commentary, I think the author wanted too but was held back by the stupid amounts of success and was either getting reeled in by his publishers or he felt pressured to make something that rocked the boat less. All I know is that anytime he did an interview it looked like he was seconds away from running, since he hated the attention so much. So somewhere in the middle probably.
