Character writing feels like it was lifted from a template

My Hero Academia has made a name for itself within the shonen genre–the young adult focused anime and manga which tend to have lots of action–cementing itself as one of the top shonen manga and anime resonating with both Eastern and Western audiences. So, its about time that My Hero would get the feature film treatment. Most of the film takes place in between Seasons 2 and 3 of the anime, while the U.A. students are on Summer Break. While it offers a fun adventure, ultimately it suffers from the same issue as many anime films based on an ongoing shonen property: The characters arent allowed to grow, the story is self-contained and never expands on the full narrative of the show, and it all ends up feeling like an expanded filler episode of the show.

After this intro, the film returns to the present day immediately after the end of Episode 58, with All Might dragging Midoriya to I-Island, a mobile man-made island where the worlds best scientists develop life-changing products. Unlike mainland Japan, here people are freely allowed to use their quirks in public without any type of license.
What you end up with feels like a 96 minute long filler episode. Thats not to say the film is bad–the story is still by Kohei Horikoshi, and its written by Yosuke Kuroda, whos the writer of the anime adaptation. But in some ways it feels more like a generic template for a story than one thats been fleshed out with nuance and details. The show normally charges forward with constant surprises and major character defining moments, but every character in the movie acts exactly as you would expect them to.
The new characters are likable and well developed

Midoriya and All Might meet up with David Shield and his daughter, Melissa, who just like Midoriya was born quirkless. Of course, somehow all of Midoriyas U.A. classmates make it there as well, and the group enjoys the delights of the island until villains inevitably appear.

But these are still fun characters to spend time with. So while I can complain about the lack of character growth, or how meaningless the adventure might feel in the grand scheme of the show, its still a chance to spend more time with Midoriya, Bakugo, and the crew–and thats always a plus. Both David and Melissa Shield are likable new characters whose motivations we can quickly understand and empathize with. In fact, I would love to see them introduced into the show and manga at some point. We also get a few more moments from my boy Denki Kaminari. Hes not the most popular character, but Ill take what I can get.

All of this culminates in a series of spectacular battles with the finale in particular showcasing a top-notch use of colors and animation techniques to create incredibly fluid action set pieces. While the animation is generally on par with the show, thats certainly not a bad thing, and all of the battles are an absolute blast to watch.
Its during this portion the film falls into a classic trap shonen films tend to have. Because the film is set in between Seasons 2 and 3, as an audience member I already know nothing is allowed to happen. None of the characters will have any true character development throughout the 96 minute run, nothing a character gains will last, and no major story elements can possibly take place. There were certain important items the characters received in the movie that I immediately knew would somehow have to disappear by the end, as they dont show up in Season 3. Sadly, this ends up making the movie predictable.

Its also worth noting that — thanks to a translated interview from Toho Cinema T. Magazine by twitter user @aitaikimochii — My Hero creator Kohei Horikoshi has confirmed that this is all canon, stating he always wanted to include a chapter about All Mights past, but wasnt sure how to bring it up in the Manga, and this was the perfect opportunity to showcase it.

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes Review: Does The My Hero Movie Go Plus Ultra?
The film starts strong, showing a flashback to All Mights past, which, while well known to heroes of My Heros Universe, is almost entirely unknown to the audience. Here we see him working side-by-side with the American student and scientist David Shield, as All Might is studying as an exchange student in California. In fact, its the same sequence we saw teased at the beginning of Episode 58 of Season 3, when the U.A. teachers catch a special about All Mights Young Age Period on TV.

Two Heroes is a missed opportunity. It could have been used to showcase All Mights past, or even some of the other major heroes such as Endeavor or Midnight during their glory days. I would love to have seen what the world looked like when All For One was fully at power, and the kind of crimes the heroes had to stop.
