I wanna start off by saying that i love watching the main mc get pwned. a lot of ppl think "i hate this char hes weak, useless etc" but I watched sekai de ichiban tsuyoku naritai and i just enjoyed the heck out of this anime as the female protagonist just gets totally destroyed by other wrestlers while she screams cuz pain. Or when
that was sensational. I feel like weak characters dont get enough credit. All hail the weak

Now let me rant about mumei (from kabaneri) who has more favorites on mal than ikoma. Just wtf?. In the first episode of kabaneri Ikoma discovers a new weapon to fight back ( something he never could do before) and he seemed damn proud, only for the whole setup to get ruined by this cocky bitch that is Mumei. It makes this show anticlimantic af. I hope she gets the Jason treatment. Fuck munei

You will enjoy the Monogatari Series then. The MC here is beaten in the most brutal and violent ways ever imagined. Makes the Jason x Kaneki beatdown looks tame.

I kind of agree... to a point. I find overpowered mary sue types to be incredibly boring characters (you know, the Gokus and Supermans of the world). Flawed characters are much easier to relate to and root for, but characters that are TOO weak and never show any growth can be just as boring, honestly.

The best trope is when you have a weak ass character that everyone thinks this character is the strongest.

But that aside, seeing the underdog wrecking the supposedly stronger party is always a treat to see

No mate, no one likes to see weak ass pussies get beaten up only for them to stand up again and mutter idealistic crap. Sure they work hard to get stronger and shed blood and tears along the way but who cares about the blood and tears of ants. I'd much rather see an arrogant antagonist mocking an op protagonist only to have his brains handed to him in his hands.

Anyways, i dont think a weak MC is a good one, its okay if sometimes they lose. But what i like to see is their development and their training to get stronger. Sincerely there's no sense in watching an anime if the MC will lose every battle and be humiliated by everyone

I actually like it when the strong character gets their ass kicked. It's far more intense, although it's becoming a cliché nowadays just to show how strong an enemy is. Still entertaining nonetheless.

I didnt say that. I said that I like it when the strong character gets his ass kicked, but it's starting to be overused. Overused =/= bad or that I would like it to stop. Overused means cliché so I used the term, cliché. Simple.
As for the alignment, I've been using this style for a few weeks now an I plan on sticking with it.

I don't think Goku is a Gary Stu character. While he is very powerful, he struggles in all his battles to defeat his enemy and sometimes he even need help to defeat them (against Cell, against Buu...). It's not like he needed 20 episodes to finally defeat Freeza or something.

So you enjoy seeing MC's get pwned? I know its been said a million times but, are you sure you're not a sadist man? That line when you "enjoyed the female protagonist just gets totally destroyed by other wrestlers while she screams cuz pain" is creepy as f**k man.

OP characters are a dime a dozen but weak characters are boring as hell too. There's nothing cool about a weak character when its a guy who's strength comes from his harem(Harem Anime like High School DXD, Campione!(I think that's not spelled right but Idgaf),etc,etc)

This goes for all types of characters. Strong characters aren't good by default either.

A character has to be interesting and relatable. Strong or weak (not sure how you even define that in many cases) doesn't play that big of a role.
If you generalize, you're wrong.

I'm the exact opposite, I prefer my MCs completely OP, like Onii-sama or Sora(NGNL).
I guess there's a lot of wish fulfillment in it. There's something cathartic about watching a character that you grew to like really own faces in a spectacular fashion. I guess I got tired of MCs who just barely win their fights like Goku, Naruto or Ichigo.

Sakamoto is fine because it's taken to the extreme and then used as a way to elicit laughs from the audience. The whole show is slapstick comedy anyway. SAO on the other hand, takes things seriously.

In some ways, in other ways he's a complete fucker and you almost wish Goku would kick his ass.

But yeah all things considered I prefer main characters who inspire me, and that's usually powerful ones like Goku, Gon, or Luffy. You know, the mainstream Shounen heroes lol.

I also want to mention Lina Inverse as a main character lead because she wipes the floor with many male leads.
