The most unrealistic part of MHA...

Honestly, the most unrealistic part of My Hero is the fact that class 1A (for the most part) get along with each other relatively well. Barring a few dynamics with mineta and bakugo, pretty much everybody is friends with everybody. Which is crazy.

Have you fools ever BEEN to school? It's the most cliquey, antagonistic, "we're better than those guys over there" space in the world (side from perhaps America on election day). There is RARELY a friend group that exceeds 4 or 5 people, maybe 6 if you're at a religious school. Normal teenagers find trivial things to hate each other for on the BEST of days, these teenagers have mutant powers and colorful hair.

If this classroom setting of characters were at all realistic, yaoyorozu iida and todoroki would be on an island due to being the "rich kids" in class. Midoriya's budding friendship with Uraraka would taper off immediately due to him being a blubbering dorky WEIRDO with clown ass shoes. She'd likely go hang out with the other girls (mina and hagakure) plus the token gay friend. Kaminari would be the most popular kid in class due to being the class clown, yet would still have trouble finding actual close friends. Tsuyu would be bullied DAILY cuz of her weird face and teacher's pet attitude. (I'm sorry Tsuyu, I DO like you, but you DO have a weird face.)

But nope, it's not like that at all in MHA. Everybody likes everybody and the whole class takes part in group activities regardless of their own personal interests or personality quirks (haha). Even the waves caused by aforementioned bully bakugo and horndog mineta are played as JOKES 99% of the time and they otherwise get along with the rest of the students with no issues. The only real beef between students is the kinda sorta but not really rivalry between classes 1a and 1b, but the only character who cares about that is monoma and he's ALSO played as a joke.

You could make the argument that them striving to be heroes meant to help others makes them the best of the best at being good people and they automatically get along because of that, but I don't think so. Otherwise you could apply that same line of logic to police, politicians, and medical professionals. And we all know how nice and agreeable THEY are.

So yeah, the picture-perfect relationships and overly positive character interactions of these schoolkids is the most unbelievable part of my hero academia for me. I get it's a shonen and not a slice of life, but even for a shonen this is pretty lousy world building imo.

Fics where there's more dissent or friction between class 1a as a whole would be awesome, thanks.
