Hi there! If you don’t know, there is a Disney movie named Sky High that has a lot of similarities and some differences to My Hero Academia. I’ve decided to name a few parallels between the two.
Izuku Midoriya shares some similarities to Will Stronghold , who were born weak and powerless
Okay so let’s start with Will Stronghold, in SH he has two parents with super powers yet he didn’t have any powers but throughout the movie he gets his powers and is considered a late bloomer; His powers consist of super strength and the ability to fly.
Now, in the MHA universe, Will Stronghold would be considered Izuku Midoriya. He was born quirkless. Throughout the show, he receives a quirk which makes him have super strength, speed, and flight.
They have no power whatsoever from the start, this makes them question there own worth, Later both the protagonists have been given/developed a power that is related to strength.
And are willing to give their lives to protect their loved ones.
Next Ochako Uraraka is simular to Layla Williams, yes they have different powers but they are very kind, loyal and beautiful, both considered the best friends of the protagonists Will Stronghold and Izuku Midoriya, but both immediately have a crush on them, and they even look alike.
They appear to be weak and fragile to many who first meet them. But really these girls are amazingly powerful. They are the first girls to admire the protagonists and encourage them through all there hardships.
Denki and Jiro’s Relationship is not so different from Zach and Magenta’s, as they intended to tease each other sometimes but are still good friends
The Strong Idolized Hero
All might and Will’s father have the most biggest resemblance of all. The most obvious reason is there name. Stronghold and Allmight. There names both ring “I’m the strong hero”. They both have big upper body strength and a tight suit to emphasize the muscles. They both have a ridiculous amount of strength and they are the most idolized from all of the citizens in the area because of all the hero work they have accomplished. Due to age, the two characters wish to pass down there powers and success to a child who will help citizens in need. The two idolized heros closely resemble superman, a practically invincible hero. Superman is a hero with almost no flaws which is probably why they resemble him so much. They always have a happy grin on there face to show they don’t have any worries. There smiles help ease citizens of any worries. The two idols put lots of pressure and teachings on the protagonists because they want them to be strong enough to fight for others no matter how tough the challenge is. They want the protags to be the next generation who will carry on the title of being a hero.
The school setting was placed differently, one was located up in the sky while in the other show it was located on the ground.
Lastly I will mention that Sky High doesn’t allow students to create there own uniforms but in MHA all students were allowed to turn in a idea on how they want there costumes to look like when fighting as a hero. And so on i will say that there is a significant difference in abilities a character has in both series. One character in Sky High is able to melt into a puddle while in MHA a character can freeze in place someone just by staring at them, neither of the series have these same abilities in them.
What do Y’all think??
DC Fanboy! Superman is the greatest comic book character of all time. Favorite movies are Man of Steel, Goonies, Back To the Future
