Okay, let's be real. We all remember the *vague* feeling surrounding the My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission USA release. It felt like forever, right?
Did it even *really* happen? Just kidding (mostly)! It definitely hit theaters, but the timeline felt…wonky.
The Great Wait (Or Was It?)
I have an unpopular opinion: I think the wait for the movie was part of the fun. Hear me out!
The anticipation! The theories! The endless scrolling through My Hero Academia fan forums. It was chaotic good.
We were all in this together. Stressed. Anxious. But together!
Remember the Hype?
Seriously, though, the marketing team earned their paycheck. The trailers were epic. Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto looking stylish in their stealth suits? Chefs kiss!
Who *didn't* want to see them save the world in international waters? Show of hands? (Okay, I can't actually see you. Just imagine I can.)
And then, bam! Release date questions flooded the internet. The tension was palpable.
The Not-So-Secret Release Date (Spoiler Alert!)
Let’s not beat around the bush. World Heroes' Mission officially dropped in the USA on October 29, 2021. There you have it folks!
But like…it felt like it was *supposed* to come out earlier, right? Maybe it was all the hype messing with my perception of time.
Time is a flat circle anyway, according to Rust Cohle. Maybe he was a secret anime fan.
Unpopular Opinion Time: Dub > Sub
Okay, brace yourselves. Here comes another one of my spicy takes: I prefer the dubbed version. I know, I know!
But come on! The English voice actors for Deku, Bakugo, and the gang are fantastic. They bring so much energy to their roles.
Plus, I can actually focus on the action without reading subtitles. Multi-tasking is hard! Especially when explosions are involved.
Was It Worth the Wait?
Absolutely! The movie was a rollercoaster. Action-packed, emotional, and full of those signature My Hero Academia moments we all love.
The animation was stunning. The fight scenes were breathtaking. The stealth suits were…well, you know my thoughts on the stealth suits.
Seriously, Deku's air force gloves? Inspired!
Re-Watch Value: Through the Roof!
And let’s be honest, we’ve all re-watched it multiple times. Don’t deny it!
It's perfect for a cozy night in, a movie marathon with friends, or just when you need a dose of heroic inspiration. Which, let's be honest, is always.
So, while the wait for World Heroes' Mission in the USA felt long, it was ultimately worth it. And maybe, just maybe, the anticipation added to the magic. Probably not, but let’s pretend, okay?
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go re-watch it again. Don't judge!
