Things I love about My Hero Academia

yuyuhakushofangirl11:

• The fact that the show is making some form of commentary on how shallow the Super Hero industry is becoming(save for a few exceptions, of course)
• Has a dynamic cast of characters who all have their own shit going on and it’s not about the protagonist all the time.
• Body Diversity.
• Having most of the students have relatively healthy home lives and not falling on the trope of shitty parents or neglectful parents(at least in terms of Class 1-A)
• Giving us a hero who is in touch with his emotions and extremely empathetic, particularly towards people who ‘may as well be quirkless’ and children. 
• Showing the double standard of Sexism aka the ‘Treat the girl as an equal!!!’ vs ‘You can’t hit her she’s a girl!!!’ argument. 
• Having the ‘bully’ character with a more realistic motivation, that being emotionally bolstered and praised for every little thing before realizing he was just a big fish in a little pond before high school. 
• Making the ‘bully’ character have some form of honor code. In real life some people are like this: Assholes but not Monsters. 
• Having the Superman/Captain America stand in being human and flawed like the rest of us. 
• Dadmight
• Papa Wolf Aizawa
• Addressing the controversy of having ‘Sexy Female Heroes’ vs ‘Strong Female Heroes’ in a very tongue and cheek way.
• Not over-sexualizing the female students, at least not as bad as some anime *coughHighSchooloftheDeadcough*
• Deku/Izuku as a character. While his constant crying is a touch grating in the first few episodes he grows on you. 
• Presenting a Hero universe with CONSEQUENCES. 
• Showing the dark side of Heroic Fame/Quirk culture
• Having several categories of specialized heroics instead of the ‘Bash ‘n’ Smash’. I cannot stress enough how appreciative I am that ‘Rescue’ is treated as an honorable subset of Heroism, especially when paralleled to real life EMS and emergency workers. 
• Having a reasonably straight forward premise and execution. 
• Deku’s mom being drawn cute but chubby
• Showing that facing villains before they’re fully prepared on a regular basis actually affects the students of Class 1-A psychologically
• FROPPY
• Having a villain with understandable motivations(Stain). Seriously, drop this guy off in the MCU and the DCEU and let him have a go. 
• Having Deku understand his motivations but not condoning it. 
• ERI-CHAN
