Warning: I say "Peace" a lot. I didn't know until I finished editing :v
I guess you can call this an approximation of terminology? I know the Metanarrative isn't exactly this, but for the worldview of the story, it's as close as we've got, and it's much more encompassing and impacting that we'd consider from a theme, for instance
I read a bunch of interviews by Kohei Horikoshi and all I can say is he seems like the most optimistic dude ever
This is a bit more of an abstract video than previous ones that I've been doing recently, so please don't get bogged down too much in the specifics (or do, it's up to you!)
This took me like, 10 hours to edit - I ain't making modifications
I called it My Hero Academia cause that name makes a bit more sense but I titled it Boku no Hero Academia for that sweeeeet SEO
Youtuber Kyle Kallgreen has a really cool video approaching the superhero metanarrative from the perspective of the Avengers - check it out! - http://bit.ly/2949ecn
