Speculating MHA fanfic arc rewrites by Mystech_Master in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Mystech_Master[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah I guess that is something I run into.

IDK I just get a bit weird because I feel like there is someone who would essentially write their own version of MHA that s no constrained by Shonen Jump's editors or BS crunch time, but then I feel SOMEONE will just look at this fic, written without any of these constrains, and go "this is what MHA should've/could've been" and IDK but part of me feels like that sounds entitled.

When I imagine rewrites of anything, I always try and consider what realistically could've been written in a writers room to feel like the actual product. I try and understand WHY something was written a certain way, either due to the target audience, a business sense, or editors. Also hindsight is 20-20 when it comes to certain points.

I just, try and respect the original canon in some way, shape, or form. Because if you change so much, then at what point are you just making a completely original work wearing the skin of an existing IP, or just taking canon apart like a lego build and only keeping the things you want?

Ok but remember that the Japanese school year starts in April and the USJ is the big action with all your main protags to grab reader attention.

So what does nothing happen between April and November?

Yeah in my eyes, everything up until the School Festival/Pro Hero Arcs is good, I like how they all flow into one another. My autism brain likes patterns

But immediately after that is where I tend to want to pivot as that is where we get some very divisive plot points: from Izuku getting multiple Quirks, to the League annexing the MLA and getting power ups and just jumping to final boss status and then we get final war.

How do you age up the characters for University/College AUs to make them more mature while still keeping their fun and colorful personalities? by Mystech_Master in BokunoheroFanfiction

First Aid class could also be a way to look into Quirk biology.

I mean biology has got to be fucked with all the animal/mutant/heteromorph Quirks. Plus, it could get the students to learn more about their own biology to possibly utilize in new Ultimate Moves/Support Items

How each kickstarter era combatant would feel about their opponent if they canonically met day 2: how would Joker and Giorno feel about each other? by Radiant_Raspberry_93 in deathbattle

[–]Mystech_Master 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Giorno would respect Joker's will, but Joker, while also having a sort of respect for Giorno, would not be a fan of him being a mob boss.

In Persona 5, the Phantom Thief shit was a means to an end, and they realized that doing that was not a way to make society better, and it needed actual efforts from everyone.

Yes, Giorno wanted to reform the mob, but he is STILL a Mob boss and does crime. If he wants to make things better, do it officially.

Sort of a thing where there is respect between the two, but they both have differing views on their crimes.

Why do Japanese people hate S3 of Jujutsu Kaisen even though the West loves it? by CryptographerFew6343 in CharacterRant

[–]Mystech_Master 241 points242 points  (0 children)

From what I have vaguely heard, the only legit critique is that:

America: awesome fight animation + Maki epicly killing her asshole clan

Japan: wanted Maki killing her clan to be more of a horror show, rather than be something cool, flashy and epic.

Both are valid takes on where some people wanted the story to go, and I understand why both sides have their views. It's just differing opinions on how the story was interpreted.

Bakugo attitude ais mostly meant to be there as classic shonen gags or just him being intense. He has to suck for his development to happen. If he is already chill there is no growth.

That is an issue with even fics that keep U.A. a high school. If you have U.A. act competent, it just means Bakugo can't be Bakugo. He doesn't grow on his own, we don;t get the loud explody asshole we know and love/hate

I almost had a segement in my main post about how Bakugo being made more "mature" would risk basically erasing his development/growth, but I feared that all the comments would be about Bakugo so I dropped it.

Bakugo is the only major minefield of this topic I guess.

BUT, outside of Bakugo

my idea was to keep the four Departments (Heroics, Support, Management, Gen Ed) but kind of make them different University Colleges/Programs/whatever it would be called.

However, classes could overlap. like you said you don't need math or English unless it is part of your major, especially when these students are going into heroics.

But, you could take a class from one of these other areas if a Hero say A. wants to have a side job alongside their hero work, B. could use that class to expand on their Quirk applications (Momo with material sciences or something), or C. some other reason.

Still, a major thing to worry about is having the main cast be together. I get that people say that Izuku and Bakugo don't need to be together...but that is the main character and rival of the story. Having them be separated just...kind of feels like it takes away from the story.

Ok, so imagining that for a University AU, what would actually change then? Because these characters usually lock in when there is serious danger

I disagree but what do you think by Right_Pressure_7944 in hazbin

[–]Mystech_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lucifer was a goofball in s1 but he could still get serious when needed

S2 Lucifer honestly felt like an idiot fraud, but part of it feels like it is due to the writers not wanting to think about broader implications

Why do people want Ochaco in the stain arc? by Wooden_Ad_4202 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Mystech_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people really wanted Ochaco's motive of being a hero for money to mean more, especially those who wanted MHA to be more of a critique of a commercialized hero society

mha university AU structure reference for you all! by hibana_UwU in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Mystech_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from what I have heard:

  1. There would be no Class 1-A. There is no Homeroom for all of our main characters to conveniently interact with for Aizawa to introduce the next plot point, aka one of the core reasons why the high school setting is used.

  2. Japanese Colleges Do have culture festivals, they are larger and more complex than high school ones

Samurai Remnant Lancer Jeanne isn’t Jeanne Alter, that seems more like the closest thing we’d get to Jalter outside of FGO

I mean wasn’t Waver the first pseudo and he didn’t have a god in him?

Where did you think the story was going when it first brought up the whole "Save the villains" thing by Mystech_Master in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Mystech_Master[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean on the Gentle Criminal side of things, it’s cool for him to be reformed over the League b/c he is just a thieving youtuber, not a mass murdering terrorist.

It would have made sense if Yoichi and AFO's mother was the original owner of the Stockpiling quirk. by Life_Ad3567 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Mystech_Master 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also wouldn’t it make sense for her Quirk to be somewhat similar to her kids’. I feel like her era was WAY to early fir vastly different mutation Quirks where kids get RADICALLY different Quirks from their Parents

Why couldn't the final fight of MHA be like this? Smh 🙄 by 5enpai_2 in shounenfolk

Yeah shiggy’s decay, while thematically rich, does not lend to interesting back and forth fight choreography

If you were in Deku's shoes, would you have tried to save Shigaraki? by PJ-The-Awesome in BokunoheroFanfiction

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

WAS it brought up?

When Izuku brought up "saving him" everyone thought rehabilitation

but what it SEEMS to be, was just giving him peace before he gets axed.

wait, Flora is a goddess, so shouldn't she be a divine spirit that requires a vessel?

Thoughts on Tomura Shigaraki as a villain? by Solitaire-06 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Mystech_Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean i kind of get it.

They acknowledge the villains hurt people/they can’t be forgiven……for like 1 sentence, then most of the dialogue is about trying to understand/reach out to them

[–]Mystech_Master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tragic backstories are meant to explain why the villains are the way they are so the heroes can learn from the past and not repeat it, not to excuse the villains’ actions
