#since then though we've seen how they both grew as characters which is nice but i understand why some people didn't like it

You'd think this would have been gone in 2024 but sadly we still have people who refuse to acknowledge and understand the complexity of her character :(( I agree, it's all the internalized misogyny and her "getting in the way of their ships" whew. And I think.. also that debut chapter which I feel was a bit too extreme/ooc for her introduction and left a bad impression on many fans. ;;

Not to be that person but it really gets me thinking that Soma and Lizzie share a lot of personality traits yet Soma has always been beloved by the fandom for those traits while Lizzie has always been hated on for them.

what's your opinion on the big 3? When I was hyperfoxed on this series they were the thing I care Abt the most (I enjoyed season 4, obv I'd change some stuff now but I still remember it being atleast ok)

I hate how dirty they did my girl nejire, as far as I'm aware they didn't even do anything with her after the whole pagent thing she just got a small backstory about how she was sad (don't know all of it I haven't been keeping up that well w the manga)

mirios not having a quirky and having to save eri (a girl who I can't imagine would be that skilled at the age she is and has been training on lizards to give his quirk back all together, I'd imagine it taking a few more months but bnhas time is shit so) and coming back in the war arc to punch one person and then basically do noting iicr

The only decently written one was amajiki, I wish they had more going on I think they have a fun dynamic (w them helping taking care of eri and me rlly liking idk what it's called but I love the fluff it brings) :(

Lots of mixed feelings, in all honesty. Lots of mixed feelings.

I'll admit, a big part of my mixed feelings about them is they showed up as the latest, 'Stomp on Izuku's everything' at the point in the story where it was becoming obvious that there was always something stomping on Izuku, and that gave me a bad first impression on them I've never been able to shake... which isn't helped by how they're connected to the clusterfuck of Nighteye, of all people, which is kind of my whole thing with Mirio (warning; I am biased):

As a person, he's obviously nice, but as a character, basiclly his entire reason for existing was, 'give Izuku an existential crisis' and I don't think I've ever forgiven him for that, really. His entire character is just bigger, stronger, older, happier, more capable, more confident, more successful, more loved Izuku, who had a Quirk his whole life and only had to dig deep to find out how strong it, and he, was all along.

Unironically. It's....

It's a really bad look, to be blunt; he feels kind of like a bad fanfiction character written by a bad writer who wanted to put their super special OC in the story, except he's canon.

Since we've never seen him even think something unheroic, there's really nothing that distinguishes him from that impression factual statement, which, again, makes it hard for me to give a shit about him, or even remember him... which is a problem Hori seems to share, lol. It doesn't help that I loathe Sir Nighteye and that most of his development time is spent admiring him, to boot, and that his parts of the story are either empty or focused on a living plot device I can't quite like no matter how hard I try because of how blatant the emotional manipulation is about the biggest story breaking, SOD shattering plot device until Stars and Stripes showed up.

If he ever got any kind of development to flesh him out a human being rather than being either Izuku and/or a heroic archetype, it'd help, but beyond all of that his biggest personality trait is liking jokes, and that barely even comes up. Or, rather, considering both the Final Arc and his response to Bakugou's name, along with Nighteye's own tendencies, 'jokes', maybe.

He doesn't deserve it, I admit it, it's not his fault, but I just can't get past that. He also doesn't deserve to just be forgotten until his big moment of a butt joke, but... MHA, everyone. In all honesty, I'd just like him better if his entire story arc didn't exist in and as some of the worst parts of the Overhaul arc, but he's tainted by that fact.

I freely admit that I am unfairly biased against him, so take all of that with a mountain of salt.

As a side note though, god, the story doesn't seem to realize how badly Nighteye is using the poor kid; Mirio thinks Nighteye is training him because he's worthy, while Nighteye mainly seems to be doing it because he's the closest thing to an All Might clone he can get, bar him actually cloning All Might, even if he grew to like him for who he is. I'm not sure Nighteye ever thought of Mirio with just his Quirk as anything more than a temporary situation; even at the start of canon, when on his own merits he's rising to fame with how successful he is, Nighteye's overall focus is still about getting AFO into the kid.

I almost wish I could see Nighteye explaining how all of his training came down to getting All Might's Quirk, just to see MIrio react and tear Nighteye down a peg about it, except Hori's history of handling these kinds of things means he'd never be allowed to be properly offended on his own behalf, the poor bastard.

Moving on, Tamaki. Out of all of them, he's had the biggest of an on-screen story arc, and in a intellectual way his Quirk is easily the most interesting. Unfortunately, while he has a personality, it feels so bland at times that he's far easier to remember for his Quirk than who he is.

I liked his story, really, but at the time it was overshadowed by Mirio and his everything, and by the time he showed back up it was clear how irrelevant it and he was, so it was more about how (admittedly, very) cool he get his Quirk to be than it was about him, and with some brutal honesty, it's probably because his Quirk is so interesting that he even got that much focus beyond that initial arc by Hori.

And... Nejirie.

In a combat sense she's easily the best of them, really; Mirio is almost purely defensive, which limits him (especially if he's not surprising someone with it) while Tamaki's Quirk, while flexible, is so conditional in ways that can easily hold him back (we only ever see him fight with full preparation; if he's not gearing for a fight he'd be easy to ambush), and like a lot of things in the Final Arc, his big laser canon thing is.... questionable.

Nejirie, though, is just simply powerful. In a setting where everyone has one power and one main application of that power, where you either fly or blast things, but not both, she's the closest I've seen to a 'traditional' super hero, like you'd see in Marvel or DC.

At the same time, though, out of the three of them she least has a story, for obvious reasons, and it's a disgrace, really. If Hori had just spent some time on her, on the her backstory that apparently exists (yeah, I'm not sure where that is either), she could have been so interesting... but really, all she is is the Girl Teammate. Her personality traits are The Girl Teammate's personality traits. She's just The Girl Teammate stamped over all of the interesting stuff, and it's such a waste, it really is.

And finally, as a unit? The Big Three is a shiny toy that Hori forgot in the corner somewhere as soon as he got bored with it. He spent a few minutes oohing and aahing over them, focusing really hard on developing interesting powers, how they could be used, and how strong they were, only to start to lose interest as soon as those powers were established, and he was writing the three of them off before their introductory arc was even over.

Head Canon, Sidney and Billy's relationship before he learned of Maureen/Hank affair

Billy Loomis x Sidney Prescott Early Relationship Headcanons

Masterlist Navigation

• Before Billy and Sidney even started dating Billy would have had his eye on her. Whether it was because of her niceness or just her ability to sympathise for him, he'd completely ignore anyone he wasn't interested in unless it was for quick personal gain - which is why he wouldn't have started a relationship with someone other than Sidney (quick hookups is an entirely different story though as we've seen later on)

• Things would have been very sweet when they first started dating. They're both teenagers with little long term relationship experience so it would have mainly began with figuring things out at first. Billy would have been much more pushy that Sidney, but he'd always take his time and push with encouragement rather than force Sidney directly into something she wasn't yet comfortable with.

• Sidney would have taken a bit longer to get comfortable around Billy, such as with things like PDA around school or being completely open to their friends with how their relationship is progressing. They may have even been slightly shy around each other at first too, but Billy would have adopted the role as the leader in the relationship due to his own desire for control no matter how small the desire was at the time.

• Billy had feelings of anger and abandonment before the affair due to personal circumstances and obvious long-term mental health issues that wen't unaddressed. He may have opened up to Sidney about these premature feelings at the beginning of their relationship, but after these feelings grew and he found out about the affair he would have definitely become more closed off and less truthful about his thoughts and feelings to Sidney.

• Billy would have been trying his best to impress Sidney to the best of his ability, and with this he would behave much more romantic. He'd especially do this at school since he wants others to see that he's with Sidney, and possibly prove himself as a better boyfriend than the ones Sidney's friends have.

• Billy would have been absolutely more understanding and sympathetic towards Sidney's problems, it's only after his anger and loathing brewed that he started to care less deep down. Rather than putting on a gentle and sympathysing front as he does later on, Billy would have genuinely listened to Sidney's problems no matter how many he had of his own.

• Billy would be doing less sneaking around to see Sidney, but he would be massively more cautious on the rare occasion that he was sneaking around. The relationship was early and the last thing he wanted to do was make a bad impression towards Sidney's family before Billy decided their mind was made up about him no matter how respectful he tried to come across.

• Their general confidence - After being together for a little while their general confidence would have grown due to how much they encourage and supported each other. Sidney would have still been less outgoing than the majority of people she was surrounded by, but she would feel more more self-assured in most situations. Bill, on the other hand, would have felt less vulnerable in the world and capable in himself by having Sidney offer her support in private whenever she could.
