Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of great stuff in the original MHA, but Deku became so much less interesting as he acquired more powers (as did Shigarakai), IMO.
Meanwhile, Vigilantes gave us the real best hero: Knuckleduster. No spoilers, but I was way more invested in his story by the end.

Anime update:
Finished season 1 of Frieren just in time for season 2. Hell yeah!
Binged all of May I Ask for One Final Thing? Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Got caught up on MHA: Vigilantes. Not going to lie, I kinda like it more than the original show and not just because of the various Godzilla cameos.

They're fighting ICE with ice. The levels of irony are off the charts...
Long live the Ewokian citizens of the Twin Cities
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin on "acts of violence" against ICE agents in Minnesota: "Pouring water on the ground so that it would freeze the ground in front of our federal law enforcement vehicles so that they would potentially slide, crash, and potentially kill them"

I was just called a "young man" by a lady running the drive thru I went to for lunch. Considering I'm in my forties, it took me completely by surprise.
It's possible I was older than she was, but I'm not complaining. I'm just curious what it was about me that made her think to say it.

What better way to ring in 2026 than with a rewatch of my all time favorite anime, Iria: Zeiram?

ICE, with all their weapons and tech, are being defeated by an inflatable costume. Look at them backing away in the video! It's amazing.
I don't want to hear anyone bashing the idea that Ewoks could best the Empire ever again.
