OP

Yay for discussion!

Will try not to spoil you for T&B - but will be referencing things we learn about the world in later episodes (thpugh none being plot spoilers). Just a heads up!

Re: the police system in T&B, we find out a bit later that heroes are specifically not allowed to investigate crimes, only respond to them in progress (though there is little detail on how this works). We also find out that the TV show was instrumental in making the public see super powered people as heroes rather than villains/freaks. So your assumptions really fit in with that! I basically am of the same opinion - the cheap and dirty world building just doesn't ring true for me, which makes it hard to really invest. A clear example is the points system itself - it incentivises the heroes to sabotage each other which is super impractical. Plus cheapens what they're doing - '100 points to Barnaby for capturing this vicious murderer!' It's just a weird way to set up this capitalist world if it's not intended to be a dystopia.

As for MHA, from what I remember there's a few plot lines with the characters cooperating with the police as necessary. And I like that there's a clear logic there - heroes deal with villainous quirk users, but cooperate with other law enforcement agencies as needed (or other agencies reach out to heroes as needed). And, like you said, what they do is news, not entertainment like it is in T&B.

The hero ranking is a bit silly at face value, but there's a logic to that as well. Since we're told there have been generations of quirk users in a world where most people have a quirk, you can imagine heroes becoming like celebrity idols. And following from that the agencies in MHA seem like competing publicity agencies (in an organic way).

Whereas in T&B, the sponsors don't make as much sense - in narrative, the popularity of each hero relies on their point score, but in real life their popularity would rely on a bunch of other things - like personality, public appearances, performance over time etc. Like it seems to in MHA.

We do find out about a sort of UA like academy for quirk users in T&B, and that other cities have other heroes, and that the Sternbild TV show vets new heroes in various ways to join the show. But none of it really fits together in a way that makes you think 'it makes sense that the world functions like this'.

But yes I obviously have a lot of thoughts on this as well! I just want my silly superhero anime to be believable god damn it.
