Some versions do try to tell a more complex story, like The Boys and Invincible. My Hero Academia is also there as an anime

I like One Punch Man. While he is a hero. The fact that he does it for fun and is frustrated at being so powerful makes it really stand out.

I love OPM, however I think it’s more about shonen anime stereotypes rather than western superhero stereotypes

Saitama is hilarious in the driest way possible, which is a humor that not everyone can appreciate

The pilot episode where he meets a crazed villain who loses his shit when Saitama tells him 'I am a hero for fun', and goes on a rant on what a stupid backstory that is... before he gets blown to bits with one single punch.

The running joke of him always losing at video games because he just does the same move again and again.

His entire relationship with Genos

Don't remind me of umbrella academy.

Worst ending ever.

You'll know because it ends.

Horribly.

There's also an arc with Lila and Five which is...stupid.

You'll know
