Is anyone else super underwhelmed with this event so far?

Is anyone else super underwhelmed with this event so far?

I read issue one and I really enjoyed it. I liked David Colton, I liked the art, I liked the action, and I was interested in where things were going. But everything post issue one so far as made me lose interest dramatically. I can't tell you how upsetting it was to see David Colton become one of the primary antagonists for the story. And to top it off I don't even think he'd have his current goal with the actual setting of the world considered.
What do you think?

Hawks dramatically outspeeds a speedster villain.

In Team Up Missions, Deku and Bakugo team up with Hawks to take down a speedster villain and his gang. During their plan we see the speedster villain move many feat before Deku and Bakugo can even register it. Hawks then does the exact same thing to the speedster villain.

All Might Punches away a Tornado

Based off of Melissa's age I can't tell if this is Prime Might or Weakened All Might but either way another instance of All Might punching mother nature. From Team Up Missions

Iida holds a car attempting to drive at full speed in place.

season 5 Iida using recipro burst is able to stop a car from moving while it's attempting to drive away from a crime at top speed. From Team Up Missions. Another instance of Iida's strength being more impressive than his speed.

Kirishima keeps pace with snowmobiles going down hill in ankle/shin deep snow.

He doesn't perception blitz them or anything, but he clearly stays on top of them while they drive. And for everyone who grew up in a place with a lot of snow can tell you, running in it is a bitch.

don't know why the image was posted twice. There's supposed to be another one that shows how deep the snow is at places.

Season 4 Bakugo makes an explosion that covers a large section of an island

It's not exactly the biggest island ever but I'm just going through Team Up Missions and I found it. I'm sure someone around here is capable of figuring out just how big it is but I doubt it's anything more than town level if that. But for season 5 Bakugo who isn't really trying it's still not bad.

Mt Lady moves faster than the eye can see (among other shopping based speed feats)

Uraraka, Mina, Momo and Mt Lady engage in high speed, high sale shopping in which they put their hero skills to task. The ladies seem to be relative to each other. This comes from Team Up Missions issue 43

Quirkless All Might catches up to a Motorcycle (and is just a badass)

Quirkless All Might catches up to a runaway Motorcycle that has been modified to be even faster than usual.

How do we feel about this?

This was just a quick list I put together. It's based off of feats but also just how they are portrayed or treated by marvel generally. That's why quicksilver is in A- despite his dramatic power increase as of recent years. Same with Human Torch or Invisible Woman. And there is no order inside of a tier.

literally the only tier I'm confident in is S+

I want inputs as I am far more familiar with some characters on this list than others. Who should go up, who should go down, and who needs to be added?

Bakugo (post cluster, pre awakening) Vs Mirko.

Who would win between Bakugo with cluster but before his final "awakening" in season 8 and Mirko? Say their fight takes place in the USJ.

Round 1 is season 5 Mirko

Round 2 is Season 7 Mirko

Could Season 6 Deku and Bakugo make it into the Top 10?

This is strictly about their physical ability to make it into the top 10. Not taking into account other factors like popularity.

Say that Deku and Bakugo just stop growing in strength from the moment season 6 starts. No more unlocked quirks and no cluster. Could they make it into the top 10 at the level they were at then?

Deku at 30% constant with 45% burst with Black whip and Bakugo who is as strong as 30% Deku but before cluster.

I personally believe that they can make the top 10. Especially Deku. Both of them having 30% OFA stats already puts them in like the top 10% of strongest heroes. Add in Black Whip and Deku may already have everything he needs to be a top 5 hero. Same with Bakugo but his personality would keep him lower.

Top 10 Heroes Vs Weakened All Might

Top 10 are all at their Prime while All Might is as he is when he fights as the USJ.

I actually think the top 10 could do this at least 1 to 2 out of 10 times. There biggest handicap being Yoroi Musha as he's a catastrophic fraud.

What is the oldest Versus Debate in human history?

what match up have humans debated the longest? This can include real or fictional entities. And for fun, where do you think the first debated entity scales? Who is the LUCA for powerscaling? And try to keep it to ideas that could be "widely" debated. Obviously Unga and Bunga would have argued who would win between each other since the beginning.

Who would win? Captain Celebrity vs Mirko

Fight takes place in an evacuated city and collateral damage is not a factor. Both are in character.

The two biggest issues with the current run.

I think we can all agree on this, but I find the two biggest issues of this run are these.

1: incredibly boring antagonist.

The Eldest/Infernal Hulk is beyond dull. Every scene and every fight has been the same. "Hello proper noun. I am incredibly old and this thing im doing will summon monster with no/little set up. To add into my army of darkness to help me take over the world. Despite the fact I can clearly and easily do it on my own. Now let me talk more on corruption and a grand history that has never been acknowledged by anyone before nor will it ever be brought up again after this run."

I'm being a little unfair but we've been following eldest for over 2 years now and she has only become less interesting after she found her mother's corpse.

2: The pacing is bad.

This was a problem before infernal Hulk with the PKJ run. It felt like a 15 issue story stretched out to 30. We are 8 issues into Infernal and what has actually been accomplished? Think about all that had happened by the time we reached issue 8 in Immortal Hulk. And thats not even that fast paced of a story. Planet Hulk is only 14 issues. Did they just start this run a few years to early? We know there's going to be an actual event for this but its like 2 events down the pipeline. It feels like we're just spinning our wheels until its time for the event.

I was pretty positive about the fractured son run all things considered. But infernal is just not doing it for me. Hopefully it really finds its footing with these next couple issues. But for the first time since I started reading Hulk monthly I've just not been that interested in finding out what happens next.

What do y'all think?

The Infernal Hulk has done something special.

Its made the incredible achievement of being the single most important thing ever that doesn't matter at all.

Has there been a single mention of what's going on in this book in literally any other story? Red Hulk is a bigger deal right now than ultra super turbo cuthulu possessing Hulk's body and killing what anyone who saw it would think is God.

Major politicians have died. Monsters are running rampant. There's a undead horror city that's spawned out of nowhere. But what out guys, Red Hulk is occuping Latveria.
