>>278955526That post was referring to the COMMUNITY, not the manga. This is a kneejerk response to a single word that completely misunderstands what the post was talking about, you could have just read the rest of the post instead of making assumptions the moment the word "parody" appeared.
>The entire point of opm is the spectacleCompletely reductive, but also a convenient narrative to ward against allegations of bad writing by insinuating that it doesn't matter.
OPM has always focused on the struggle and development of individual characters. The Amai Mask arc was about Amai finding acceptance and kindness from Saitama after he revealed his true, hideous form, not about how hard he punched Pesky Clown. The most beloved arc, the Human Monster arc, is beloved in the first place because the arc is centred around Garou's internal conflict around heroes and monsters, not around how fast and powerful Saitama's punches are. That's just the premise.
