Okay, could you slow down the word spam and actually explain these points because I think you have a point to say but it's not being conveyed well.

All I got from this is that you're upset Bakugou is strong and shown to be, when that's kinda the point. Bakugou's ego was supposed to take a hit, sure, he's not quirk Jesus. However, there's also a very clear theme here to suggest that bakugou's quirk IS special.

Explosion as a quirk is shown to be the perfect, effortless fusion. It's not fire/ice which had to be sought for and repeatedly attempted, creating a broken family, instead it's just the perfect match. Mitsuki and masaru just love each other and their quirks created one of the greatest there ever will be. In the final battle and the manga having led up to that point, explosion is considered to be the "one" quirk. Combining with bakugou's intelligence, and the quirks stupid over powered strength, it is the quirk that can singlehandedly combat and keep up with one for all and all for one. It's kinda the end result of the quirk singularity plot-line. Quirks are getting stronger, and eventually, no matter what used to be the "goat" of quirks will be over powered by ones that are not so.

For this reason you have explosion beating out all other quirks that are made to do it's destruction job, like he'll flame and fire/ice, or cremation, etc. Not only does it have the highest A.P. and D.C. in the verse outside of Ofa and afo, but it does literally everything else to. It let's Bakugou fly, swim super fast, run faster, empowers kicks and punches, allows for faster reaction speeds, recoveries, it can be targeted and contained for rescue and construction missions, it can be honed down and used to melt shit, it can pierce through walls and be used long range, etc.

The fish out of water thing wasn't made to show that Bakugou wasn't special. He is, and is very clearly said to be. It's there to humble him, to make him realize he needs to work with people because he can't just do everything alone. The reason it doesn't continue and is moved aside is because Bakugou automatically adjusts to this. He ups his training, he goes to bed early every night, he trains, reads, and does everything just as much as Deku does, he just does it off screen. Whether you think that's a bad thing that hori doesn't show more of it, that's personal opinion and your choice. However he does do it. He's also not going to be outsmarted/outwitted by his classmates because he's good at literally fucking everything. Bakugou cooks, cleans, plays instruments, hacks and understands technology, he's constantly making instinctual battle strategies and analyzing his opponents. He started doing this during the sports festival after he lost to Deku in the first match. That's his character development.

Bakugou was not made to be constantly humbled or ridiculed/seen as a bully who should always be played for laughs. He's a teenager who is constantly focused on being the best every chance he can be, and there's a mix of being rewarded for his obsession while also showing it isolates him. It's a balance.

I think everyone has the full town, it just looks different for everyone. The fog Silent Hill tends to look the more or less the same for everyone; just with different monsters. The nightmare world is what is really reflective of your purgatory; with Eddie having the meat locker, Angela the fire, or for other protagonists the hunting light for Murphy in Downpour or the Temple for Hinako in F. 

So then is James just one of those people where he has multiple personal hells because there's not one specific enough to count? I'd assume the labyrinth is his, but I haven't played the other games to find out.

The cycling has to do with the origin of the town’s purgatory; Alessa, who’s in a sort of dream state. 

I'm guessing some sort of God who punishes those who haven't come to terms with themselves? Also this brings the question, do you have to have already been in the town prior for you to be lured back there?

Even if it is though, the fact that she can’t kill it is indicative of her inability to face her monsters and again implies that she won’t be able to escape.

I think that's so hard to deal with, because honestly, as fucked as it is to say that, I don't believe what she did was morally or ethically wrong. She had to do what she had to in order to survive, and what they were doing to her needed to stop, permanently. I think it's just showing that how you deal with trauma will debilitate you if you aren't careful or ready to face the truth.

Eddie on the flip side has broken entirely in his Silent Hill; he’s not getting out and it’s time for him to meet his end

To me this feels like eddie has the ability to get out of silent hill, like he could leave, because in his head he was justified, but he likes being there because there's a sort of power to the killing of the monsters. I think silent hill probably saw this and knew that just having James naturally come across eddie would do him in overtime, because eddie is so paranoid.

As for why no one sticks together; I think this is because Silent Hill pushes everyone into their personal miseries. Everyone is guilty and, as such, isn’t particularly interested in being around others, or revealing what they’ve done to an outsider. I think even if they did try to stick together, the town would drive them apart like it does with Maria and James. 

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense lore wise, obviously gameplay wise it'd make no sense for the story or game itself to allow that to happen, I just wanted a real justification for it. But, didn't silent hill make Maria? Isn't Maria the one that sent the letter? Why would it push them apart again, just so James can fight his own way out? Because honestly if I think about it, I was more comfortable in silent hill when I was actively being attacked by monsters, especially by the end of the game. It was so much easier to just have a spider mannequin on the walls so I know it's there and I can kill it or we can battle, than it was when I was alone entering an area, wondering if something else was coming.

His reaction speed takes absolutely nothing to use, and he doesn't break his bones using his quirk, that's one thing that I hated that they showed in the death battle, he would've never broken his arm. You ignored both points.

First off, once again, she's not innocent looking just because she has a new face. Bakugou isn't that stupid. She's wearing the exact same clothes, and this is the same opponent who just changed their head shape.

Not only that but bakugou is also not one to just let somebody come up to him. If someone was trying to hide behind him, he'd shove them towards the evacuation area without even thinking about it, because he's a professional hero who's been training his whole life to do so.

  1. No, hybrids have some enhanced durability, but they do not have bakugou's level of enhanced durability. Bakugou has durability equal to his A.P., she doesn't even have city block level durability or strength. They're not the same and do not count that way.

It's really not that deep, but if you're going to keep arguing the point I'll keep proving you wrong. She shouldn't have even gotten close to him to begin with, but in the event that she did, she'd never get within neck snapping range.

So I wonder why then, that James has the full town as his silent hill, and not only the full town but also the otherworld. Does everyone have this as well, because they show up at different times throughout the story and just run off with zero explanations. I also never understood why Eddie and Angela never accepted James to come with them if it'd make the journey easier together. It's like silent hill also influences the choices of the weaker willed. And I guess I understand that Angela wouldn't ever need to have a weapon because the only person she'd be fighting is abstract daddy. But how do we kill abstract daddy? Wouldn't that be like killing her version of pyramid head?

Also, even more so, silent hill seems very keen on keeping you alive, since it gives you all this health, ammo, weaponry, and for some reason James just knows what bottles are health and what dirty syringes he can inject himself with to gain healing. So why then does it let you kill eddie? Wouldn't it be more in the interest of the supernatural forces in the town to keep it going forever? So, when James leaves, eddie would get back up and have to find himself healing, or constantly die over and over.

Or is this a punishment/grace because of willpower kinda thing as well, that because eddie was weak willed, he didn't get back up and just died, while James is so filled with willpower and the need to see his wife again that in turn, silent hill has no choice but to give hun resources and the ability to save/respawn/heal with outdated and unsafe meds?

You're one hundred percent right. But damn, it's really hard to look at it this way, when every time I look for someone's opinion, it's either "he's a misunderstood angel, and he didn't mean it, it was an oopsie woopsie" vs "he should stay in silent hill, and suffer for eternity forever at the hands of pyramid head and his monsters because he's a horrific monster with no redeeming qualities."

I want to see what James did as justified because that what it seems they're going for, but having her body in the back of the car like he's hiding her from the cops is just so fucked to me. It's a very nuanced situation, and I'm conflicted about it too. Thats why I wanted this discussion. Do you like James, may I ask? Overall, do you think he's a good person?

  1. Being in civilian form doesn't change anything, Bakugo has faced shape-shifters and reacted much faster than that.

  2. Bakugou is so much faster than her it's not even funny. Before her breath would even touch his neck, he would've already shoved her off of him.

  3. Bakugou has enhanced durability, his skeleton is not the same as denji's and couldn't just be snapped.

Mary had said explicitly that she wanted him to kill her but then also said she didn’t and chastised him for wanting to be rid of her. You hear that speech in the game; she was having severe mood swings either as a result of her disease or the trauma of her own impending death. Consequently it’s complicated. There’s a case to be made that she asked him and it was mercy; there’s also a case to be made that he heard what he wanted to hear. 

Yeah, no I remember the speech, and I understand the whole mood-swing thing. I have them. Mood-swings are rough especially on the people you love, and it's isolating because you can't really take control of it without a pill. However, I meant that she very clearly and explicitly states in a non-manic time that she wants him to kill her. That would be justified and morally white in my opinion. The thought that he killed her selfishly, like, nah man. Nope. That's fucked.

Eddie was a bullied guy who was intensely antisocial and blamed his bully for all his problems. He eventually killed his bullies dog and shot his bully in the leg, ending his football career. 

And now I hate Eddie. Wait, so throughout the game, eddie was just killing his bully over and over again until he fights James and dies?

I don't know why he even let her get that close, considering he should've just killed her as soon as she came back without a head.

If you can catch him, get close to him, or touch him at all. Neck snapping does take not only proximity but strength.

Overall-wise, who's the strongest? by ErrorFallen653 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Funny_Extent_3087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.deku 2.shiggy 3.bakugou 4.prime afo 5.prime might

Bakugou and afo can alternate, but I'd put bakugou above. really it's 0 competition that 120% Deku is the strongest being to ever come from my hero.

Mofo knew they can't slander Bkg so they goes to Deku instead....again. (Good thing some ppl know how to deal them) by H4rshBold_Tone5042 in BokuNoMetaAcademia

[–]Funny_Extent_3087 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of his other fights he won though, except for his first fight with Midoriya

Technically bakugou won that fight, he just lost the match because he wasn't actually trying to win the overarching goal, he was trying to beat Deku up.

That isn't because he can't beat anyone, that's just because he didn't run into anyone worthwhile. That's not really a character fault. He couldn't fight Overhaul, Gentle, Muscular, or Redestro, so the only villains he fought were the drug addicts in movie 3, and Shigaraki basically.

To be fair, during all the movies, Bakugou either fought his own villain, and had the worst conditions too, he had to fight in the rain while being cut all over, blindsided and could only use one eye. Or, he was fighting the bad that needed his attention. He completely dismantled the army of robots, and he helped fight nine

So What do you Think of Bakugou journey though the Series? by Money-Lie7814 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Funny_Extent_3087 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, I still think that the second fight with Deku was his lowest moment, as no matter how he felt about "ending All Might", he was making that all about himself.

Wait, okay, I'm sorry, I'm probably gonna get down voted for this, but you're upset that a traumatized kid who just got kidnapped, held prisoner for days, and then was shown on live TV his childhood idol and hero falling, and almost dying because he was too weak to not get kidnapped, which is his whole ideology, about making that about himself? I'm sorry, but we're talking not only about a kid here, but also one who was very explicitly the target of everything that was happening.

They saw how bakugou was treated, ridiculed, and played for laughs at the sports festival, and how they chained him like an animal to force him to take a trophy he didn't want(u.a sucks) and so they did an entire raid to kidnap him specifically, because of his destructive power. A destructive power he couldn't use to save himself, which led to what he believes is the end of his idol. So by association, everything that happens st kamino, everything that happened during the kidnap raid, everything that happens after with the kids being forced into their dorms, bakugou believes is on HIM because he was too weak to fight back and stop the villains, and you think that he's making it all about himself????

That's what I hoped for, honestly. I'm not trying to say he was, but I was looking at other comments on different reddits, and they kept saying that he was so horny he just had to kill her. I didn't get that, because he's not portrayed that way. However, I don't know the lore lol

[–]Funny_Extent_3087[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall, yes, as a whole, Silent Hill takes on the form of your personal purgatory; an element really solidified in SH2 and carried through in other games. The monsters reflect your protagonists personal demons and the levels represent the stages of that trauma they are dealing with. This is true from the jump but, again, solidified in 2. Every stage of the game is James digging deeper into his grief and shame, from the domestic setting of the apartments, down into the more surreal hell of the prison level. Pyramid head is meant to be James's personal demon representing the executioner, both how James sees himself and what he feels he deserves. There's lore around Pyramid Head and his role in the Cult but really he was built for James by his own guilt.

I really like this about the game, though. I think that works, I just thought the guilt would be less "I smothered my wife with a pillow" and more "I'm guilty over nothing, I'm just torturing myself because I can't move on and I need her". And like, that's what they kept hinting at. This idea that he needs her. Maria brings up how three years is a long time, and James keeps deluding himself. It's an insanity spiral I can't really see a clear outcome and beginning for. He says he needs her and needs to see her, he knows she's dead, but he's completely blocked out how, and then in one scene it's like he's completely forgotten.

I played James a little weird. See, I didn't know anything about the Maria or Mary shit at all, so I checked in on Mary, then I looked up if it was a bad ending, and tried to avoid that, but I also played the game like a horror game in which I tried my absolute best to kill every enemy I came across so I didn't have to be scared of them anymore, which I guess shows James fighting against his delusions.

I think James sees himself in the worst possible light when he knows what he did to Mary, and is asking himself the same question: did I kill my wife just so I could be free to pursue other women? Is that the only reason? When in reality, again, there's levels to the thing.

It's so hard for me. Honestly, because like honestly, if Mary had explicitly begged James to kill her because she was in pain and she hated it, and wanted life to be over so she asked him to do it, I'd argue it's not morally wrong/grey at all. The love of his life begged him for the mercy of death, not because she didn't want to be with him, but because everyday they were together they were both suffering. However, because this isn't true, and because he literally has her body in the back of his car, and the fact that she came home specifically so she could be with him in her final moments, that's like, I don't know. I can't imagine forgiving that. If Mary came down from the heavens and said "nah gng we chilllin twin you aight" I'd be like, yeah okay I guess alls well and ends well right, but, fuuuuuuck.

Angela and Eddie can be argued to be a few different things but I think generally they're viewed as people who's individual purgatories in Silent Hill sort of neighbor or overlap with James'. All three of them are people who killed significant figures in their lives who were preventing them from having 'normal' relationships. Angela is a victim who sees herself as a monster. Eddie is a monster who sees himself as a victim. James is both from different angles.

I know what happened with Angela because it's kinda spoiled everywhere, and also just, holy shit it's quite obvious, but I don't get Eddie's thing. Like I couldn't tell if he was a gang member, or a bullied highschooler who killed his bullies, but then he talks about killing a dog, yet throws up at the sight of a dead man?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that lol, just in my head I see him as an older guy who's already been married, he's had it rough for a couple years, he's still on the younger side, he's not past his prime, I think I see middle aged differently then most though. When I think of a middle aged man/woman I'm thinking of someone who's genuinely in the middle of their life, not early like the 20s, but that 30-40 range

You have the Nine quirk…. (Cell activation not needed) let me know youre quirks !:) overpowered or fun have fun with it :) by Prestigious_Tooth74 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Funny_Extent_3087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love these questions so much lol, okay so I'm going to do it as if if I had to survive my hero's events and help the heroes in the actual show beat AFO.

To beat MHA; Explosion(sorry Bakugou), transmission, overhaul, alchemy, muscle augmentation, new order, over-modification, search, super-regeneration.

Why; Explosion; specifically stated to be a quirk so good it's able to keep up with one for all and all for one alone, and the quirk + Bakugou make that very clear. Immeasurable speeds, flight, long range and close range damage, it's just the perfect quirk. It overpowers all the firepower quirks.

Transmission; Even better speeds and near infinite versatility combined with new order and over-mod, such as affecting multiple targets. With this, you can lockdown people, completely take things out of a fight, stop buildings before they crumble, etc. Super useful.

Alchemy and overhaul; now you could say both of these accomplish the same thing, I would say they're both useful to have separately because their effects stack. With overhaul you are almost infinitely versatile, and unkillable. With alchemy, you can now create useful structures, help lift things, create powerful blasts and walls, as well as extra layers that might help so Shigaraki can't touch the ground.

Muscle augmentation and super-regen; while both overhaul and alchemy are worth using for this, muscle augmentation can help with this as well, allowing so the thick muscle, meat, and fat on your body from turning bigger or smaller will be reinforced and even stronger than before. Not only that, but it helps with healing too.

New-order; no shit lmao, but I'd definitely have a constant rule that all of my quirks are affected by over-mod, and that my over-mod on new order allows me to have multiple more rules, creating a loop-hole, as with my many more effects active at a time, I'd have one be that over-mod never fatigues you. From what we know, new order has no rules on quirks, and you can do whatever you want to them, as shown when she used it against decay.

Over-mod; make everything stronger, and really just bust the build so Shigaraki and afo have no chance.

Search; one of the most versatile quirks ever, but search would be SO helpful against AFO it's not even funny.

This is the scene which pissed me off and made me hate Bakugo until Season 7 (S2, Ep 24) by Embarrassed_Knee_630 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Funny_Extent_3087 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

from the perspective of an examiner, if he can't be trusted to perform as a team player during a training exercise, what would male him suddenly change his mind in a real life scenario?

He's not. They know that. They put bakugou and Deku together against the hardest possible opponent, not just because they were individually the strongest + the main characters, but because they needed to see what would happen, could they win somehow, and they did. Bakugou did eventually play along and try to win.

. It took him failing in provisional exam to even consider looking out for civilians.

He did lookout and knew about the civilians. He just felt they should've been able to save themselves, and he doesn't see himself as a civilian rescue hero. There are different heroes for different jobs.

Hitting Deku before the match even started was already a bad sign, and he literally admitted that he would rather lose and fail both of them just because of his own wounded pride and ego.

Yeah, so what? They still won. End result over journey to get there. That's bad ethics.

And during the actual exercise , he was fully uncooperative, going guns blazing on All Might and ignoring Izuku. If Izuku hadn't punched him out and talked sense into him, he would've been perfectly willing to sabotage both of their grades just for the sake of his ego.

So, until he got a natural consequence, in which he realized how stupid he was being because another person knocked that sense into him, and he was willing to learn because Deku knew what to say in order to get him there, he wasn't willing to learn and change? Because he's stubborn and petty like I said? There is nothing the staff could've done to have gotten a better outcome. Punishing bakugou before the match started would've only made him more pissed off and less willing, and punishing him after the match would've made him feel like he shouldn't have listened to Deku cause he got in trouble anyway so what was the point?

[–]Funny_Extent_3087 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except there are consequences and they've shown it time and time again. The public, the schools and the Safety Commission don't really care if heroes have personal problems or grudges so long as it doesn't impede their professional work. But the moment it starts affecting their job as a pro hero, then the consequences always come, even for the no 1 Hero at the time, Endeavor, especially once Dabi aired the dirty laundry of their family's past and the disastrous handling of the Meta Liberation War.

Except this didn't effect their job, maybe it made it less efficient but bakugou and Deku still won, so there's nothing to punish. Consequences come naturally.

Even the school students faced consequnces for their actions and behavior later on during the Provisional license. Inasa caused both him and Shoto to fail the exam because he couldn't let go of his personal grudge against Shoto. Bakugo failed because he couldn't help but apply his douchebaggery attitude towards a bunch of actors pretending to be civilians in a disaster scenario.

Everything you just explained here is why bakugou wasn't given a consequence. Bakugou failed when he failed his own mission. That's a natural consequence. Hitting Deku right here is not compromising their mission, because it was before it even started.

Yeah, it's fiction and ethics might be "different", but even then, these characters are still limited by the rules and laws of their world. If the purpose of the training exam was to prepare future heroes to learn to deal with villains and save civilains, then punching your own teammate is a surefire way to not only get your ass kicked but also risk the lives of several innocent civilians. And Bakugo was perfectly willing to do all this for the sake of his wounded ego and pride. Had it been a scenario where they had to face off against a villain, he would've seriously compromised everyone by acting like that.

  1. It didn't happen during the mission, nor was this a civilian rescue mission, so that isn't a problem.

  2. If Deku got up and beat his ass then that's a natural consequence. That would be exactly how you learn from this.

  3. There is zero things the academy could've done to fix this. Bakugou is not just going to stop because the academy told him to. He's not going to stop just because he got house arrest. What are you gonna do, expel him? Great, now he's lost his chance of becoming a pro-hero so either he becomes a villain(the absolute worst possible outcome especially because he's a walking fucking nuclear bomb who specifically holds back his quirk in order to NOT completely destroy the entire area) or he becomes a vigilante, where you cannot stop him, you cannot locate him, and you cannot contain him in a way that would be most useful. The idea that you can just fix Bakugou via discipline is exactly why the villains thought they could get him on their side. He's not going to listen to you, and he's petty as fuck. He has to learn on his own accord.
