The reason why the MHA fanbase is reacting to those clips is due to the animation quality shown in the videos. One can see Izuku Midoriya, Bakugo Katsuki, and Shoto Todoroki in their element. Endeavor’s son can be seen charging his ice and fire abilities simultaneously. While he’s doing it, the camera angles utilized in this scene are dynamic and one can really sense his presence.

Bakugo using his Explosion Quirk is quite pleasing to the eye as well. The particle effects of his nitroglycerin sweat and the explosion are beautifully animated. The color palette is vibrant, which is important when showing explosions.

Last but not least, viewers see Izuku Midoriya activating his One For All Quirk. The lighting-like particle effects starting from his toes and moving all the way to his head are well-animated. It is fluid, smooth, and incorporates a vibrant colo palette, as mentioned earlier.

The scenes seen in the clips and trailers are quite interesting and fans are anxiously waiting for the series' global release. A few fan comments read:

"Damn it another movie that’ll keep Deku/Bakugo and barely Todoroki in the spotlight instead of hyping up anyone else", one fan said

"FR!!! I get Deku getting the hype, as he’s the MC but put Bakugo on the damn BENCH. There’s Uravity, Iida, Tokoyami, etc but they gotta prop up the guys with major upcoming fights in the manga", another X user said.

"This movie looks like the consequence of a society glazing 1 man waaaaay too much", a fan wrote.

While fans are happy with the visual aspect of the My Hero Academia: You're Next movie, there are other glaring issues that need to be addressed. The fanbase believes that other characters like Uravity, Tokoyami, and Iida are not receiving the screen time that they deserve. They hope to see the likes of Bakugo get sidelined, allowing other side characters to get more screen time in the movie.
