Please, Hirokoshi. I’m begging you. Please give us kick-ass female characters!
My Hero Academia is a manga taking place in a world of heroes and villains. Many ideas for the series is drawn from western comics, mainly Marvel and DC comics. But, at its core it’s a battle shounen series, so it makes sense the popular manga will have tropes related to this genre. Unfortunately, we may be getting a trope many fans do not want, the weak female character.
Stain.
Why would the hero killer cut down the one person he regards as the pinnacle of heroism? Because All Might isn’t dead.
The second Star Wars Rebels season four trailer dropped and it’s looking good. This is the final season so anything goes, no one is safe! Okay, Hera and Chopper are safe, they were seen or mentioned in Rogue One, but everyone else could die–everyone except Ezra. He ain’t dying.
Let’s be honest, Disney won’t kill the teenage main character of their kids show. Not happening. But, what about the canon, you ask? There should be only two Jedi in the galaxy by the time of Empire Strikes Back. That’s right, Jedi. But, what if you’re a force user who isn’t an official Jedi? Let’s back it up a bit. Here’s two ways I think the Star Wars Rebels creators can keep Ezra alive without wreaking continuity:
I love podcasts. Whether I’m eating, taking a shower or doing the dishes, I can always find time to listen to a good podcast. Unfortunately, podcasts don’t last forever. Comic Book Queers, Hellmouth Podcast, and Ultimate Facepalm are just a few of the many great podcasts to have came and left from my life.
Because podcasts don’t last forever, and even favorites like Super Podcasto Magnifico! or Hollywood Babble-On can never realistically make enough new content to satisfy me, other podcasts must fill the void. Which brings us to the question: Where are the My Hero Academia podcasts?
You can’t expect a scientists to do a good job with inaccurate data, but many manga reviewers are analyzing translated manga chapters, called scanlations, with inaccurate or just plain wrong translations. To be fair, I’m sure most don’t know their go to manga site cares more about pumping out an English scanlation first for website clicks than accuracy. I’ll also bet some don’t care. Like the viewer hungry translation group dumping an English worded mess on the impatient masses, the speed reviewer only cares about being the first to comment on the newest epic chapter, the greatest chapter in the history of the series ever, until the next chapter in a week or so.
What does it take to be the number one hero? Power, sure. Determination, of course. Charisma, you bet. A family, well…
All Might, the number one hero of Japan in the hit series My Hero Academia, has an unknown past. We know some things, such as Toshinori (All Might) himself coming up with the idea to become a living symbol of peace to deter criminals and give hope to the masses. We know *spoilers spoilers spoilers*
So, which is it?
The fear of change? Force of habit? Assumption that their pretty female companions will be M.I.A. during her run? Or, just old fashioned sexism?
Doctor Who, the famous British science fiction television show announced their next doctor will be Jodie Whittaker, the first ever female version of the doctor. Guess what? Some people aren’t happy with about it.
I finish watching an entertaining video on Youtube, mostly, when I should be doing actual work, and there it is in the suggestions list, a reaction video, complete with a goofy picture of said person watching the video. I’d probably buy Youtube Red if it meant never having that type of video suggested again.
Look, there’s nothing wrong with the concept of reaction videos, I even subscribe to a few. The first official Youtube reaction video I ever watched was a One Piece reviewer reading a chapter with a huge character reveal (Sabo, but you knew he was already alive, right?). I remember thinking how cool it was seeing someone enjoy something I enjoy too for the first time. But, the following week he did it again, to a less than eventful chapter. And, that’s when I realized reaction videos became the new abridged series.
