I don't even know how you expect most people to misinterpret the message so wildly.
Like, I've heard the whole "I appreciate a student who tries hard and gets a C more than one that doesn't and gets a B" message from enough different teachers enough times to immediately recognize what the show was talking about, and I'm not Einstein. Telling yourself you're going for the top is a powerful self-motivation tool.
Ideally, if you want to be happy, your plan for getting toward any goal in life is:
1) Aim for the top, and never be satisfied with where you are
2) Establish minor, quantifiable goals along the way that can be acted upon
3) Always be aware of the progress you've made up to that point, and be satisfied with it (if you think this contradiction is too much for a human brain to handle, you're confused)
4) If, at some point, you just have to stop, then your conclusion should be that you're satisfied and happy because you gave it your all.
The point is, on an individual level, you want to motivate yourself and make sure no part of you is satisfied and not working toward your goal.
'Bootstraps' ideology is stupid on a governmental and societal level where you're appraising a large group of individuals and some outside force is trying to decide what is possible and should be expected from an individual, but on an individual level, it has merit in terms of being a form of self-motivation.

LOL I love this picture
The hell is happening here. I'm done with this one Corn. That question is fascinating.
"I knew that dude Deku way back in the day, but lemme tell that, he was nowhere near that strong, must be on steroids. Damn shame..."
This is so accurate, it hurts.
My hero academy is shonen at it's most basic form with no seasoning, spices or twist, it just doesn't cut it.
Making the fights a backdrop to the character work is a long standing tradition, the characters work was not excuted or written in remarkable or interesting way. Naruto the shounen series mha is heavily inspired from executed it's chunnin exam arc in semilar fashion but in a more inspired way with much stronger execution, it had a lot of character work going on with it's cast such rock lee,naruto, neji and hinta but still managed to have better fights unlike mha.
Many shounen have showed in the past you can have strong character work without having piss poor fight like my hero academy has displayed.
It's fights are the least of my hero academy problem it's lack of inspiration, imaginations and ambition is why the mangka has yet to write memorable arc for this shounen property.

Reminds me of the one piece manga thread during the dressrosa days whooo boy some of you guys were. Ruthless and I loved that arc(tho I'd argue criticism was handled Lot better 🤷🏽*♂️
Well damn, thats not inspiring. I agree the tournament fights have been afterthoughts, but I was hoping this amazing fight today would cause things to trend upward..

Guess I'm glad I joined after that then lol
I don't think he's saying this as a manga reader, just that he doesn't like what he's seen so far, or thinks it's very derivative.

Bruh they adapted that fight so damn well. Really great episode!
If he was a manga reader he would never say it doesn't have a memorable arc.
Ah I see, lol. Anyways I can't wait for the next arc when we get to see all these power ups used against actual villains like the previous arc
Shh, we're supposed to behave, I was trying to be very subtle.
Damn this looks cool

I love that i can always find you in anything MHA related talking shit about it.
This show is inoffensive at worst and really amazing at best so i don't know why you react so strongly to it.
The author has proved it can handle emotion, can make interesting characters evolve and make you care for them, and has given us lots of legendary shonen moments that have nothing to be ashamed about compared to naruto, specially considering how that show forgot 90% of it's cast most of the time, and female representation and relevancy was null.
Cwarrior just doesn't like MHA
You have nothing to worry about regarding fights moving forward.

I know I won't be disappointed being on the Todo train. Dude is hype.

Welp I hope we don't start doing this now plz
Pretty much go after anybody that says something negative which is whatever but if we gotta start trying to downplay other shows to prop this one up I can't jive with that
My buddy told me its done by action animation guru Yutaka Nakamura, he did some good fights in Mob Psycho 100 to;

Ooh, he did that? Nice

Yeah, you can see his signature Yutapon cubes and use of impact frames in that sequence. He also did an earlier scene, the one where Todoroki froze the giant bot in the obstacle course.

Not sure what else to say except that was an amazing episode.
He also did one for the finale.
Side note: Anyone who hasn't watched Mob Psycho 100 should please try it out.
Pretty sure this was the cut Nakamura did from that fight: https://sakugabooru.com/post/show/34286

It really is, problem is it takes until episode 5 to get going. I remember I dropped it at ep 4 before going back this winter at the urging of some buddies.
And I was blown away.
I know he did some cuts of that fight, but yea those may not be the right ones
Yep

It starts a bit slowish in my opinion wasn't feeling it until about episode 4 I think it was
Hell yes it does. Mob is my current example of a show that fits that whole 3-episode rule. By the end of the 3rd episode you'll know whether you'll like it or not.

I think One Punch Man has the better first episode, but I think Mob is the better overall series. Episode 3 of Mob was when the show really pulled me in, but Kickz mentioned not really getting into it until Episode 5.
I agree that MHA is a b-tier shonen (not a bad thing!) compared to the greats but lets slow down here for a second.
Please explain how MHA is heavily inspired by Naruto more than its inspired by any other shonen series. Tournament arcs have been around forever and Dragon Ball would probably be the one to thank for that. The multi-stage test thing was done in Hunter X Hunter and maybe by other series before. Both have been done countless times in countless series, Naruto hardly invented them.
At the point we're at in MHA we hadn't even finished Land of Waves. Rock Lee, Neji and Hinata had yet to be introduced, let alone fleshed out. I would argue that MHA has had several fights that outclass what Naruto had at the same point as well.
Most shonen have a few great, memorable fights and whole lot of lackluster ones. Naruto's chuunin exam had what, 3 defining fights over 10 odd volumes and 80 episodes (Sasuke vs Orochimaru, Rock Lee vs Gaara and 3rd vs Orochimaru)?
I don't even know what to say the inspiration thing though -- consider that maybe you won't be ever be as surprised as you were when reading/watching your first few series.
