It kinda is when it is a constant problem with several characters not just deku.It's not Bakugo's fault he makes Deku look like a wet blanket.
When you need to make the other character look bad to make a character look good it isn't a good signal. Real great characters elevate others not make them look worse.Yeah, I agree characters are lamer around Bakugo.
Bakugo is so great he makes the characters around him rather inadequate (except Kirishima)
The other characters really need to step up and get on his level.
Compare to Mirio, everyone around him, even Nighteye, is much more awesome
It kinda links with my reasoning why Bakugo would be a bad MC
