The problem is that it's was originally meant to be a joke series making fun of shonen anime and how dumb the action and names can be. We forget that it is a joke anime because the anime is trying to be too fucking good and is actually succeeding in that.

@@starvinmarvin2130 I know this is a reply to a 5 mont old reply to a 9 month old video but here it goes The anime follows the manga fairly well and (watch out, spoilers for the OPM manga and possibly season 3) if they keep doing that, they will set up a redemption arc for Garou which I am already excited about, Saitama gets a bit of development because, even though some ideas there are arguably better, the idea of the one punch man is also very fun and very well executed. There's also gonna be a little more to set up Metal knight aka bofoi as the next big villain like there has been for a while now. That one is depending on where they'll end season 3. I don't think there are any spin-offs coming soon because it seems like they have Garous story planned to continue to play out in OPM itself and either they forgot about Genos initial motives or they'll resolve that in OPM eventually since he is kind of the second protagonist. Furthermore, I doubt that One, the creator of OPM, would want these spin-offs since they would especially be the kind of anime OPM was created to ridicule. Also, on a different note, love the south park reference in the name ^^
@@lordhuntington5704 im just saying the series is weirdly backwards from what people usually get Its good but it could be better And stop redeeming villains Hes not even a villain for real He just has a different story that happens to involve heroes Garou needs to stick to his word and follow through with what he believes we have had enough talk no jutsu. The problem is even if its going to go off on a different direction that people usually get from anime but they'll end up on the same tropes we usually get. Just do it good and have awesome animation. If they go ina different direction that people expect they could game of thrones themselves or be a typical anime series One of these things will have to give. But yeah spinoffs can be great Especially for Metal bat could be a great series. Respect for catching that reference
How I see garou is that he's a very confused and a little bit childish young man, when he was young he wanted the villain to win, but if he had watched a story where the villain completely won, that means the heroes would have been killed. If garou as a child saw the heroes, the righteous, good guys get killed protecting a innocent only for the villain to kill even more innocent, making the heroes sacrifice meaningless, you know garou would be more hero like in the future.
@@AryanSingh-yy9mw Idk if it is naivety. He understands the concept of right and wrong and that what he's doing is wrong. He just thinks it should be fairer than just the villains losing all the time compared to the heroes.
@@ori2377 well then from his point of view, there will be a time when Heroes will lose. And let's just not talk about how if two diff sides clash there's always gonna be a loser and a winner, but what he seeks for is true balance, true equality. But for whom? Innocent people? No! He wants equality for fuckin villians! I mean if they are mistreated then that's becuz they mistreat everyone else!! So they get what they deserve!
Why must the monster always lose? To counter Garou's viewpoint we've seen the consequences when they win. A hero cannot lose but a villain only has to win once. We've seen that with the Deep Sea King. One monster put an entire city on the brink of destruction because the heroes kept losing. It only takes one for everything to come crashing down. The proliferation of unauthentic "heroes" has clouded that reality(OPM and MHA exemplify that), but nevertheless a true hero is always the underdog. Mumen Rider is the embodiment of this.
The thing with Garou though is not every villain is out there to destroy. One of his favorite villains is a guy who had enough of people polluting the oceans and decided enough was enough he would stop it by force, but the TV show hero kicked his ass and kept going. Pollution wins again!
Garou ideology could have been busted if he was exposed to r rated superhero stories where the villain/monster actually killed innocent without remorse, unlike kids cartoons where the villain only threatens to take over the world.
so as far as it goes he is basically like eren he needs to give the world a villain to unite against to attain true peace. I figure this maybe the best route if humans are intelligent in opm (I highly doubt it but it is worth it if it actually works)
My problem with Garou is that he should damn well know why monsters always need to lose. How freaking sheltered can you be to not hear about how a Goliath with feet the size of several city blocks, leveled an entire city in under a minute. I still do like his character and think he’s extremely interesting, but come on man… Would you think that the monster that ripped a pregnant woman in half and then started throwing cars into a crowded area all because it’s fun, deserves to win? Cause this shit happens like every day in the world of OPM. I haven’t actually gotten past where the anime left off sadly.
I recently just caught up on the manga and my favorite part was when metal bat and garou fought together to kill Sage Centipede and evil natural water best scene ever the two who once rough were working together to save a helicopter carrying injured hero’s and civilians.
I'm still a bit sad that the heart-to-heart between Saitama and Garou was scrapped. But at least it was scrapped to make way for the godly Cosmic Garou vs Unlimited Saitama fight.
So a likable version of reverse flash. Sort of. There are some iterations where reverse flashes goal is simply to be the ultimate villain to make flash stronger and there are other psychotic versions where he just absolutely hates flash and will do anything to torture him
I love him. He's great, but Pain from Naruto is my personal favorite anime villain. The best villains are the ones who are misunderstood and misguided. The ones who have good intentions but have evil ways of trying to achieve those intentions they have. So they are painted as the villain. When in fact they are just misunderstood and misguided.
@@glennthehelper4524 I just like well written villains or villains the are just cool, like omniman(invincible), Dutch vanderlin(red dead), GLaDOS(portal), arkham knight(batman:AK), en(dorohedoro), red tooth(scissor seven), the praetorian(super crooks) or a more recent one, death(puss in boots the last wish)
Garou kind of reminds me of the first two "big bads" from Super Robot Wars, who start a war with aliens when the world government is about to "trade" the Earth to them in order to save themselves.
Bro I remember when I was a Kid watching cartoons I Always wanted just once the villain win in a single episode because it was Always the hero that won and defeated the Poor villain
And if the villain did happen what do you think would have happened, multiple stories do explore that idea, but because garou was watching a kids show all the violence had been toned down. If kid garou watched a hero movie/one shot where the villain won and did many unimaginable things to the hero and the public, garous ideology would have been completely changed
@@glennthehelper4524 I think I do, I think he's suppose to represent a man child, stubborn brat that doesn't understand the consequences of his actions. The reason why he goes after heroes is extremely stupid and childish, he's a hypocrite who doesn't realize he's killing innocent lives by taking out the heroes who are willing to help innocent people. He attacks metal bat who was just fighting against a monster man looked half dead yet garou still picked a fight, then he complains how the heroes are fighting against him while he's injured. Garou is a deep character, a character I enjoy, he's no hero, antihero or villain he's just a brat who in the end realizes his mistake. His ideology is flawed and he's a character who flips flops alot, when he was a kid he generally believed that the villains were the good guys, so exposing young garou to the true motives of monsters and there nature would have changed his entire mind set. And if a character's mental state can be changed from watching an 18 rated cartoon when he was a kid you know there motives don't make much sense
Garou is a straight fool who formed his entire ideology over misinterpreting superhero shows for children. Yeah, he coughs up one example of where the monster wasn't a villain but he somehow missed the point of the story that things can be morally gray. Instead, over a prolonged course of time, he somehow managed to conclude the villains in these shows were condemned for how they looked as opposed to their actions and motives, leading him to decide that they were the true underdogs of their stories. Since he viewed himself as both an underdog and morally just, he found himself relating more and more to them while also convincing himself that they were the downtrodden victims of a superhero narrative. I get that in real life, there are always kids who see the villains as cooler, misunderstood, redeemable, or whatever, but Garou's reasoning (even as a child) gets even more insane when you remember he lives in a world where monsters are not only real but also kill people on the regular. The whole "monsters are underdogs" angle is ridiculous too. Dude really looked at the human-monster conflict, saw that the more dangerous monsters generally outnumber and have the power edge over the heroes and decided THAT was the underdog side. It is amusing to me that, in a setting with a character called Mumen Rider, Garou seems to have never watched a show resembling Kamen Rider (at least, one of the older Kamen Riders), in which the monsters of the setting will kill people on the regular to achieve their goals or, in the case of Kamen Rider Kuuga's Gurongi monsters, purely for amusement or sport. Speaking of Kuuga, there is a character included solely to teach a lesson to children like Garou. Chono is a troubled man who sees himself as edgy and misunderstood, and thinks the Gurongi monsters are cool. He approaches one that is having a cool-down session after going on a killing spree (this is not an exaggeration), and thinks it's a kindred spirit and will shoot the breeze with him. Instead, it irritably flicks its hand and shatters his arm. It gets ready to finish the job but Chono runs like hell and changes his outlook real fast. Sadly Garou apparently never watched anything that would teach a lesson like that, but it's not a difficult one to figure out on your own. Garou is an idiot. An interesting character for sure, and one that I like, but an idiot. Also, we've seen fight scenes in the show where a single hero's actions can be the deciding factor in protecting the lives of numerous people. When Garou was dicking around and put about 30 heroes in the hospital (Mumen, Metal Bat, Tank Top team, B Heroes team, etc) how many civilian lives do you think were endangered as a result?
I love how you not only liked your own comment but you also totally misunderstand Garou and that you're completely and utterly wrong about him. Absolutely incredible.
@@glennthehelper4524 To be fair, I've only seen Season 1&2 of OPM so I admit there's a fair chance I missed something vital before making that call. I'm going to assume from your comment that the as of yet unanimated content adds a lot more depth and development to his character that I have yet to see. In which case, I'll own that I was too hasty on making that call. Otherwise, I went by what I saw: i.e. Garou idolizing villains over heroes and headcanoning them into being right while being picked on at school and somehow never growing past that mentality. That said, let's take a look at your reply, actually. I noticed that you didn't refute or debunk a single one of my points, either because you're too lazy or you can't make any substantial argument and tried to disguise it with empty rhetoric and vague nonarguments.
