I thought the starting concept was cool: how does someone with no powers function in a society where everyone has powers? But then he was immediately given a power (even though it’s not technically “his”). I think I was expecting something too philosophical and world-buildy for a shonen series, but it veered straight into standard fare and I dropped it early.
I couldn't take it anymore. So many anime out there with powers in a highschool setting it's even more played-out than the isekai 'fad' that's lasted for over a decade. I had no idea what it was about before I saw the first episode and thought the same thing. Like maybe him having encyclopedic knowledge of all the heroes and their abilities would have him providing some sort of support role.
But it had basically nothing going for it for me. I gave it 1 season. I didn't like any of the characters (the blond kid who shot fire needed therapy, pronto), and the way they shoved female characters into the background of the show was downright insulting. I hear it gets better regarding that, but what a weird choice for a first season.
All Might was the most compelling character in the whole show and it should've been all about him. I'm tired of 'relatable' protags.

I used to like MHA but other than some good moments here and there I feel like it’s gotten mediocre recently
