My hero academia critic:Class 1-A
I've always had an interest in my hero academia since the first chapter, I enjoy the prospect of world building and how author's build this fictional world that is different from ours. Although, I believe it is important to point out the issues in the story. Namely Class 1-A. In the story we are told that these groups of students have a strong bond as friends and yet, it doesn't feel like they're close friends but moreso just acquaintances to one another and that's where character growth and characterization comes in. Half of the students in Class 1-A do not feel fully fleshed out where you have an emotional connection to them. And while one can argue that My Hero Academia is Midoriya's story, the problem comes in when you bring in numerous characters or subject matters such as discrimination,abuse,etc. I makes the story more complex and should be handled with care. Why should we care about Class 1-A? What about these other characters makes the reader/watcher invested in their goals and aspirations? Why are they a close friend group. Another issue that I have is that if we're under the impression Class 1-A is the top of the top classes in UA being the most prestigious school. Then what are there quirks that make it reasonable for them to get in??? I'm not saying they have to be this overpowered quirk that over rides Midoriya's but atleast on some level its sensible. At the end of the day, I do on some degree enjoy Mha. This isn't an insult of Horikoshi's writing or his story it's really just an issue that I've kinda for a while.
