why are manga villains always so painfully stupid? It doesn't take a genius to know the guy who can put a hole through the fucking moon probably shouldn't be fucked with lmfao

probably as a contrast to the protagonists to make the protagonists even more impressive

 

[Mangamoz]

You know what?

He should just aim that moon blasting magic straight at the mage academy.

Those dudes are likely planning some uber evil shit, so may as well wipe the world clean of their filth.

Well now I want more. I want to see these scummy academic people burn down to ashes.

Say no to Akademiya's oppression! Down with Grand Sage Azar!
or something similar to that.

 

[Haezer]

I guess I'll stay just to get the cathartic feeling when MC beats the villain

I guess I just wish more authors actually tried to write villains that are interesting and engaging past being a mild nuisance.

Not exactly a nuisance...

Besides the usual tropes, MC is fighting the inertia ( and let's be fair... sheer incompetence..) of Academia.
It's a bit of a thing in Real Life™ as well..
Plenty of people with a degree ( not classified as Advanced Basketweaving..) and sufficient, if not superfluous, intelligence and talent decide to turn their back on Academia as soon as they're able to and do something useful with their lives.

Because Academia does not exist to promote knowledge and research... It exists to provide a cushy job and promotions for Bureaucrats and their Friends.
There's a solid reason everything but the utter fundamentals are researched in Commercial Life. At least there you have a measure of meritocracy, and the Office Politics are far less lethal and backstabby.

And that's for Western Academia... Gods past, present, and future know how bad it likely is to be in Asia with their society built on Seniority and Standing...

Yes the academia as a whole is actually interesting but every individual hes met is just annoying isn't really capable of doing anything to MC not to mention painfully fucking stupid. I just want a Villain who is smart and pushes the MC to new heights and not a bunch of small fry flies buzzing around him that he just kinda smooshes and moves on if that makes sense
