Still, no matter how exciting or entertaining the film is, it cannot escape the fact that it's designed to work as a standalone movie, isolated from the canon. This culminates in a new ultimate power that's a moment of pure fan service as roaring as seeing Captain America pick up Mjølnir. We also get Deku at his most powerful since his fight versus Overhaul. The camera is constantly moving, flying between punches and rotating around our heroes in intricate sequences, as the fights match the stakes of the story with a surprising amount of blood and serious injuries. There's even a scene storyboarded to emulate a long take that shows how much the superhero genre thrives in animation. Yutaka Nakamura's impact animation shines through, with some of the most hard-hitting, grounded, and fluid animated fight sequences of the year. Where World Heroes' Mission really excels is in its visuals. Also like Silver Age comics, the film introduces several heroes with ridiculous yet delightful quirks, like the return of Godzillo, the kaiju hero, or a hero with the power of Egyptian hieroglyphs. That’s not only due to Deku's new slinging power, but mostly in the film's grounded approach to character, and its sheer optimism in the face of great stakes. My Hero Academia creator Kōhei Horikoshi is widely known as a fan of Marvel comics, and nowhere is that more evident than in the way World Heroes' Mission captures the heart of early Stan Lee and Steve Ditko Spider-Man comics. It also helps that the villains reside in a H.R.
There are even a few villains with powers in the terrorist group, adding to the ideological threat they pose - the belief that quirks are inherently a mistake. Humarize works because they go against the show's usual positivity in regards to quirks and superpowers. In the middle of this, we find Izuku Midoriya, who is on the run after being mistakenly accused of mass murder and has to avoid both the cops and the terrorist group while trying to stop them from killing all pro-heroes.įrom the start, World Heroes' Mission uses its villains to embark on a darker journey that challenges its view on heroes and quirks, elevating it beyond just a side story and basically entering X-Men territory - specifically X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills, which served as the main inspiration for X2.
In a world where 80% of the population has a superpower, we finally get an anti-quirk villainous group, with the Humarize planning to target heroes with bombs that disperse a venomous gas that only kills those with powers because they believe Quirks will cause a doomsday. Make no mistake, this is not a newbie-friendly movie, but if you are a fan of My Hero Academia, this is a crowning cinematic achievement for the popular franchise worthy of the biggest screen possible. Still, World Heroes' Mission out-Marvels the MCU in terms of heart and even visuals, with some of the best and most visually stunning moments not only in the franchise, but superhero film as a whole. No matter how exciting or surprising it is, it has zero repercussions for the larger story and is forgotten as soon as the next episode airs. By now, fans should know the drill about a new My Hero Academia movie.
