Dengogiki said:No. This is still one of the most popular shounen series that is currently going on. With how widespread it is, of course there's going to be a growing amount that would also express opinions about it that we would tend to disagree on. As long as they have justifiable reasons as to why, or they just say something like "eh, not a fan of this and that", then I really could care less if they dislike it. They have the right to. You say the positives outweigh the negatives and I agree so far, but there have many valid disagreements, even from fans, about what happened last arc and what's currently happening now that I found completely fine and fair. People should focus on the good, but that doesn't mean that people should treat the very noticeable flaws that it definitely has as less important.
Besides, this goes both ways. While I do agree that there are many that overly nit pick about the series and how its going so far, there are still way too many that overrate the series far too much, and there are still many that react very negatively and irrationally to anyone that have expressed any type of valid criticism and opinions about the series in general, such as the popular characters, the pacing or the general fashion regarding how the story is being written, what is currently going on (such as people expressing that some of the fights were really messy, the aftermath of the war so far was executed weirdly, still a huge imbalance of character focus, so on and so forth), etc. You say other arcs in other popular shounen series did things that MHA gets more backlash for doing the same, sure, but this again goes both ways (MHA also did things that other arcs in other popular shounen had done, yet MHA gets more praise for them), and with how toxic the community is and how many still really love to overreact with how much of masterpiece this series is, honestly just makes those negative reactions stronger. Happened with Steven Universe, happened with Shingeki No Kyojin's last arc (and especially the ending), and it happens here. They're very toxic about it on Reddit, very toxic about it on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook, very toxic about it on here.
The hate for this series is way too extreme tho. Many Shonens out rn have more flaws than MHA but don’t get nearly as much hate or criticism. Also I’m not saying it’s a masterpiece but it’s a really good battle Shonen. The writing is fine, the pacing during the aftermath of the war arc was fine and the fights aren’t messy. Yes I agree with the amount of character focus with certain characters but when you have so many characters it’s kinda hard to handle them all. That’s why I’m glad Hori dropped the whole “Academia” part. Some of the criticism for the series is rather dumb so of course people will respond but some is fair. I think in terms of battle shonen this one has less flaws than most.
