Question about an article i found comparing MHA characters with Naruto characters. (screenrant.com)

submitted 4 days ago by MoonveiledWyverm@lemmy.zip to c/anime@ani.social

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm surprised they didn't do Gaara instead for Shoto.. Is this article maybe a lil accurate or misleading?
I could be thinking too hard again.. I thought Gaara was much similar to Shoto than Neji Hyuga is. Dunno if Shoto is like, a prime candidate to be killed off sometime in the future or not at all..

Also wtf is it with Naruto and death? I'm seeing so many speculations about so many older characters dying permanently by the end (like Gaara, Sasuke, Naruto, etc) Is it really that likely or an exaggeration?

Serious answer, content-farm listicle authors deliberately make provocative choices to get more attention, and also usually don't personally care about whatever they're writing on.

Quoting from the wikipedia page of Screen Rant's parent company:

According to TheWrap, previous and current Valnet employees claim the company prioritizes "mass quantity over quality to churn out mind-numbing SEO bait." Once websites are acquired by Valnet, the permanent staff are usually replaced by contractors, who are paid significantly less (reportedly around $19 for 1000 words at GameRant) than the former tenured staff. One former contributor described Valnet website Collider to TheWrap as "a content mill, borderline like almost sweatshop-level", while another writer suggested that Valnet forced contractors to create "junky clickbait" content.

Dam, so it's total bullshit? I kinda got concerned if it meant Shoto may die in future or not because of it tbh.

May die? Aren't both of these series complete?

Well, MHA is.. But I feel like it could get a sequel (and tbh, I kinda hope it doesn't. I like the way it ended, I don't want my favs happier endings being reverted)
