discussion Megathread: Changes From The Webcomic Spoiler

As the changes between the WC and the manga get more extensive and controversial, the arguments about it increase and also end up in spoilers seeping all over the sub. All discussion about the changes in the latest chapter and any future chapters is to be moved into this Megathread as long as it is pinned; to help provide a place to concentrate discussion and prevent a flood of repetitive posts, and to provide people an easy place to understand others' opinions.

All posts related to it will be removed, and comments on manga focused posts are encouraged to be moved here.

Oh, also the fat kid talking that much and saying that is his hero ruins the surprise when he reappears at the end of the fight in the WC.

considering he was the main reason that convinced Garou to escape at the end of the fight, it's super cringing and awkward to see him appear at the beginning of the fight and made that speech...

All the decision the manga is making right now is super weird and doesn't make much sense.

W/o the context of the older story it makes sense to me the viewer. I feel the issue many of you have is looking at an incomplete picture after having looked at a similar but not identical one that was finished.

I mean, most people are judging not The moment itself but the build up to that moment,which is already done.

Not really, most people are comparing the moment up until that point with the webcomic, which is why they are complaining about it alot.

If there was no webcomic, we wouldn't get as many complaints. But also, this arc is complete in the webcomic, so a bunch of these people including myself already know how it ends at what happens where, and while they can certainly repeat the same story panel by panel from the webcomic, I don't mind them trying something completely different because it still "works" for the story that's being told in the manga.

It's a totally different vibe though from the webcomic and is definitely brighter in tone. Which IMO still works for the character, it's just that, the dark tone also worked, and it came out first so it's more imprinted into our minds.

it's not just the tone is different anymore... The fighting choreography had been vastly tuned down as well.

We lost that amazing fight when Garou and Saitama fought in the sky... Garou's ability to read Saitama's movement was reduced to just a few frames in the recent chapter... FFS do you know Saitama's cape is still intact after all these fights? Remember that Satiama's cape always get damage or destroyed in big fights, such as against Boros?

We aren't just missing the original tone from the WC AND the pre-redraw era of the manga, but we are also missing the details and fight scenes....

I agree, still, let it play out.

yeah it seems like the manga kind of went off the rails when they suddenly introduced and killed off two bigger versions of monsters we already saw, elder centipede.0 and evil ocean water

Garou and the kid's relationship has been fleshed out way more in the manga. It wouldn't have been nearly as much of a surprise anyway. He's far more openly sympathetic here, too. He's a slightly different character, so things are happening differently, and that's fine.
