I'm sure people would hate Gurren Lagann if it came out today. Hell though I haven't read it yet, it sounds like Deku got a better deal than Simon given he still gets to hero with his buddies.

It was acceptable in the noughties
It was acceptable at the time
I don't know what you're talking about simon got the girl. she just happened to die and his other love interest if you want to call yoko that ended up alone twice so that route is always open.
They're not really making fun of deku anyway they are making fun of horikoshi for being a coward that didn't want to upset shippers.
even the picture defending Decuck makes him look like a pathetic cuck
what else needs to be said?
I watched it when it around 2010-11, and I hated the ending.
People (retards) DID dislike the ending of TTGL even back then
But fact of the matter is Simon does get the girl and she dies after, and he gives up his status willingly
Deku does not get any girl, and he loses his power if he wants to or not
The story is about moving forward and changing. Would be retarded for humanity to depend on simon forever. If you were going that route you might as well keep Kamina alive.
b-but it would be an abuse of power if Simon revives Nia
Okay, so why not just save her before she dies. One of the SRW games literally does this.
It's been more than a decade since I watched it, so I don't remember the entirety of it. But he shouldn't have ended up as a forgotten old wanderer. At the very least, he should have been exalted for his feet by humanity. We don't forget our heroes just because they're not there anymore.
becoming a politician or figurehead would be too much work more suited for Rossiu, he'd rather be hobo and actually see the world he saved.
There is a lot more job options available besides being a hobo and a politician. Besides, even if he was just a traveler, why did the world just forget who he was?
Here's the thing, 2 different characters could have the exact same ending and it could be perfect for one of them and inappropriate for the other.
What a stupid image. Simon still had the power of a fucking GOD.
First off, there were a shit ton of people who criticized what happened to Simon.
Secondly, he got the girl, but decided not to resurrect her to avoid becoming a selfish god.
I barely recognize images of my childhood heroes now that they're 70-80.
Do you think Simon is really the kind of person that wants to be worshipped?. and didn't they base all of the new gunmen off his? Hardly forgotten. Also consider most of the people in his world spent their lives underground aside from the beastmen. I'd probably want to wander too.
What are you talking about? People did complain about Simon being a hobo while Rossiu became galactic president. Still, there is a difference in tone. Simon chose to go off alone after achieving everything he'd set out to do, while Deku was alone because he could no longer keep up with his friends and just wallowed in his powerlessness. Deku didn't want to be alone like Simon, he just resigned himself to it until he got gifted a means to get back into the game.
Also Simon actually got the girl (albeit briefly) while Deku lost the girl.
powerless
Pretty sure Simon still has spiral power, he just chooses not to use it
Simon was in no way powerless. He actively chose to serve as an example of self-discipline and not become a god king who violates the very fabric of reality for his own personal desires, in hopes of providing a guiding example to the Spiral people who will come after him to not cause the Spiral Nemesis and end the universe without having to be like the Antispiral and completely remove the very core of their beings.
It amazes me how hard people missed the point of "Have your fun, drill a hole and then move aside to let the kids go on through. Don't become a wall yourself." when the show spelled it out to your face.
What would be a suitable role for him? A shiny figurehead for the army? A motivational speaker? Nah, he can take the humble road if he wants. He can always come back when they need him.
Meanwhile Deku couldn't come back if they needed him. Not until they gifted him powers again.
Some retarded kid doesn't know what Simon the Digger looks like in this fifties. That doesn't mean the world forgot him, that's entirely headcanon.
The point is that a retarded kid doesn't have to know who he is, because there is no need for him to protect the world. It's a blissfully peaceful universe that he created with his hands and drill.
People do not need to recognise him as as his now, just the man that he was when he accomplished what he did. I don't necessarily mind him being a traveler so much as I don't like when the hero's journey end with the message that the world is at peace and doesn't need heroes anymore, so your legacy is to be forgotten.
Simon becomes a forgotten washed up old geezer
Decuck becomes a nobody while his friends continue to pursue their dreams
Ryoma transcends into Getter Valhalla with his Getter Team to fight space jews forever to protect the Earth and is etched in memory for eternity by the Getter Emperor
Yeah, Ryoma won big time
I don't think Team Dai Gurren would stop talking about him and he was the leader of all humans a couple of decades ago, concluding in the entire world seeing him fight the anti spiral. He's well known most likely, it's just that you wouldn't think some random old guy helping you drill for water is THE Simon. That'd be a completely ridiculous proposition.
He was already in the history books BEFORE he took down the anti-spirals. I am sure they erected a few statues in his honor.
Simon still has his power and canonically fucked Nia though
Simon has so much spiral power it literally altered his body
Simon is an actual man. He became humanity's champion by knowing where to go ham and where to stop. He mixed Kamina's hotblooded attitude, Nia's feminine qualities and the Antispiral's rationality in order to forge the best path ahead. That's why the catchline goes from "my drill will pierce the heavens" to "my drill will CREATE the heavens" in the final battle. Simon went all out and achieved his destiny in a blaze of glory.
Deku is a dumb, weak cuck.
His legacy is everyone's continued existence and he doesn't care to sit on a throne. What are you looking for, some panning shots of monuments erected in his honor?
Muh legacy
Your ego is too big
MUH LEGACY
only insecure retards care about their legacy
when you've done your part in life you don't have to worry about how people will think of you after you're dead.
Simon never wanted to become a hero or the supreme commander or whatever. He just wanted to drill.
If you're placing the happines of anyone other than your closed one above your legacy, you're practically a communist.
You don't even know what you're talking about.
only cucks don't care about their legacy, every normal human wants to have a legacy
Go be a martyr for people who don't even think about you, cuck.
You don't even know the words you're using, haven't even defined them or anything. You're just a retard
And you're a worthless NPC by your own self evaluation.
Simon fucked.
Simon still had his spiral power and chose not to use it, while Deku lost his quirk.
Simon willingly chose to wander the world he saved as a normal man, while Deku still wanted to be a hero even after losing his power.
Simon and Nia canonically fucked before she died, while Deku never scored in the first place.
They are not the same.
Simon took the hobo pill while decuck was a wagie (still is)
You will never have a "legacy" or whatever it is you call your power fantasies. Simon achieved everything he set out to do and more.
Not everyone can achieve something majestic, yet we can all still aspire to do so. You, on the other hand, have so little self worth that you can't even consider ambitions beyond being another cog in machine. Frankly, you wouldn't have so little individuality if you thought you as an individual mattered.
You don't aspire to achieve something great, you aspire to getting your dick sucked posthumously. Your LARP is embarrassing, frankly.
Who is larping and as what? I am stating a basic human instict that's been a part of human evolution since the beginning. You're the one is larping it. You're the anomaly here.
You will never get your dick sucked, in your lifetime or after. Aspiring to greatness is fine and healthy and human, but you, and specifically you, are an embarrassing manchildren.
Don't ever fucking compare TTGL and Simon to that piece of shit manga and sad excuse of a protagonist. Fuck the utter mongoloids in this thread too.
TTGL is an amazing ending and it has nothing to do with 'winning', getting the girl, being a hobo or a wagie, any of the retarded shit you zoomers spout.
You can project all you want, you worthless bugman. You're still an evolutionary dead end.
i dont agree, my legacy is the desires of those i care about, I want their dreams to come true not mine. however, the reality is that being unable to recognize someone does make the people in these worlds seem like inhuman bugmen who are just parroting words they dont really understand.
Working for a planet sized fat bastard 24/7 or be a wild hobo
Behold, the only Ryoma with a bright future ahead of him. Guaranteed 4 Ballon d'or at minimum

How about Deku vs a Hero enthusiast named Izur(k)u who is a Mecha pilot?
I don't really get your second sentence, you might have made a mistake writing it
Space Jews
He wasn't the one who fought the Balmar
you might have made a mistake in your brain if you dont understand it. People not knowing who deku even is is preposterous much like simon. it makes the world they saved seem less special and worthwhile. think about it logically, do you want to save a greatful people or an ungreatful people? obviously even if you dont want your dick smoked after death or retirement, you would have done more greatness if the people you saved are after if not before capable of understanding what you achieved for them.
No, your sentence here
the reality is that being unable to recognize someone
Wasn't clear.
Now I get what you meant. Yeah it makes sense that you expect great actions to yield great recognition, it's just... a logical outcome. Nothing wrong with that. But I don't think you're seeing all the picture here. I don't think Simon is unknown or something like that. Having the kid not recognize him is just part of Simon's modest and measured lifestyle. It just highlights that Simon doesn't NEED any of that and lives a quiet life. That's a personal thing, I'm sure the show wouldn't condemn him for doing something a bit more bombastic, but thematically speaking it makes great sense for both Simon as a character and the story (basically: things are moving on, new issues are everywhere, people do the work, no need for Simon to ask for special recognition or something). Simon became pretty much the greatest man on Earth (and I don't mean because of spiral powers, he was just the bigger man in every way) but doesn't ask for reassurance or acknowledgement. A mind of steel.
