I think the hate for the new My Hero Academia season is totally wrong

Last week at the local anime club in Denver, everyone was trashing the season for being 'too slow'. I watched the same episodes and saw them building up the villains in a way we haven't seen before. The focus on Shigaraki's past in episode 4 actually made me care about the conflict more. Has anyone else felt like the popular take is missing the point?

That episode with Shigaraki's backstory was the best one this season. People calling it slow just want constant fights. The show is taking time to make the villains feel real, not just bad guys to punch. I'm way more into the story now that I get where he's coming from. Why do you think everyone is so impatient with this arc?

Maybe people got used to the pacing from earlier seasons and forgot this is a story first. The show is building up to something big, and you can't do that without slowing down sometimes. It's like they want the payoff without the setup.
