My Hero Academia recreates the most iconic moment in the Marvel movies, proving that this manga is slowly becoming the best modern superhero series.
The Marvel Universe's Most Epic Ideas Are Incorporated Into My Hero Academia
Author Kohei Horikoshi continues to show his love for Western movies, especially Marvel, in his manga My Hero Academia. While you've never seen him explicitly express his love for Marvel through media, his most famous work says it all.
There are many plot points in the story that are inspired by famous Marvel movies, typically fans have discovered:
- Twice and Tsuyu Asui bear a resemblance to Deadpool and Spider-Man.
- Twice's personality and outfit are similar to Deadpool's
- Asui has a sitting pose that is considered to be the symbol of Spider-Man.
- Some of Deku's abilities, such as Blackwhip and Danger Sense, are inspired by Spider-Man's Web Launchers and Spider Sense.
My Hero Academia is a superhero series, so sometimes there are old plots that have appeared in previous superhero series and movies. When great plots like that are included in the manga, there is no denying that it stirs up controversy but also makes the series more attractive.
Chapters 420 and 421 of My Hero Academia, titled "From Aizawa" and "We Are Here" respectively, pay a subtle homage to Marvel's Avengers: Endgame. In it, when protagonist Izuku Midoriya seems to have lost everything, Class 1-A enters through the portals created by Kurogiri, giving Deku hope, allowing him to realize that he is not alone. This scene perfectly represents the theme of My Hero Academia, while emphasizing that no one should face adversity alone.
In My Hero Academia, the movie Avengers: Endgame is more than just a reference
My Hero Academia Chapter 421 begins with the students of Class 1-A entering the battlefield just as Deku is teetering on the brink of defeat. The chapter details the opening of the portal, with heroes with powerful fighting abilities rushing in and joining the fight. It's clear that this scene is inspired by Avengers: Endgame, where the battlefield where Thanos and his army destroyed the hope of humanity was opened by the portals created by Nebula and brought in countless heroes to turn the tide.
The creation of this scene in both My Hero Academia and Avengers: Endgame conveyed a common message of unity and support, that humanity will stand together against any evil force. In the future, it is clear that the heroes of My Hero Academia will likely win against the villains through their unity and collective strength, recreating the Avengers' victory in Endgame.
Classic Marvel Comics tropes add richness to the universe of My Hero Academia , while also cementing the series' status as one of the top superhero series in both anime and manga.
