Almost as if the "ecstatic" supporters don't read comics or buy games.
When I think about superhero games, I always think they'd be improved with a teenage mary sue following the interesting characters around, lecturing people on shit. /s
Another example of sjws approving things from a distance with no feel for the subject matter. If lots of people like it, it must have a redundant subject-irrelevant social message parasitically attached to it. Superheroes are never known to actually do the right thing unless pestered to, right?
It's the fanfic writer part that ruins this archetype. Agent Coulson owning Captain America trading cards or a young up-and-comer telling Dr. Reed Richards that they wrote their doctoral thesis about his work is very different than writing Real Person Fic and boasting about this social faux pas to the subject of your RPF.
I hate the "hero-worshipping hero" archetype that tries to be meta, the character who grew up reading Superman and writes Superman fanfiction and one day buh-wuhhhhhh lookitmeeee, I've got superpowers dropped into my lap! I'm just like Superman now!
This is opening of My Hero Academia, except My Hero Academia is shonen manga/anime and therefore knows that the most important thing to do is make the protagonist start at rock bottom and then work and sufffer to gain mastery of their power.
I honestly cannot think of any Western capeshit where someone has to be physically fit enough to use their powers and thereby spends a lot of runtime working out at the start.
Most of the times they are get their powers and their body just morphs into ripped god, or skinny ripped god.
The only people that earn or develop their powers in western comics are the villains. Heroes just get them and never have to work for them with only a handful of exceptions.
Outside of being super wealthy batman had to actually train to be batman and iron man actually had to build and maintain his suit. Otherwise characters are either born that way or gifted with superpowers.
I would absolutely fucking love it if they did it well. Like to show even heroes need to work on themselves, there is a temptation to be self-serving shit and power is just a tool and you have to do your thing to become The Hero.
Not just two minutes of UWU whoopsie, but also automatically accepted and loved and better than the established guy.
We've been saying this shit for years, yet look how far the diversity police have come. Is there even an end point? Every time you think "corporations have gotta see that this shit isn't profitable", and yet they continue on.
It's only going to happen through violence or the credible threat of violence against political and corporate leaders. Hard to organize such things when they've gotten really good at keeping people disconnected.
The shit of it is that this cycle is going to repeat itself with the Ms Marvel movie. It will perform well below their expectations, they'll blame toxic fans or anti-muslim sentiment, and never once consider that their idea flat out sucks. They'll shove the blame onto fans while ignoring the irony that their own writers hate what the fans love and are constantly shitting all over the brand.
I would personally not depict them at all. Not even as villains.
Villains should be interesting and have redeeming qualities.
If they want to appear in modern media, they should stop acting like its the 1400s century. The fact that it is the 1400s in their calendar, is not an excuse.
I never heard of this game, and I should note that people who are aware of the regressive leftist drama with the marvel franchise will no longer buy any marvel product unless they know it lacks regressive leftist propaganda.
Game flew so far under the radar it had bombed before people had heard of it. I don't know where they marketed it at, but it was far away from gamerville.
Yeah, graphics are pretty but the gameplay is straight from 2002. No reliable lock-on, zero synergy between teammates, shit ai, groups of enemies teleporting in, health regen by picking up glowing balls (for fuck's sake), clunky controls, bugged missions, tacked-on loot mechanics, day one cosmetic DLC (which was enough by itself to kill Evolve, which was actually fun)... the list goes on for miles. Play the demo and you've seen 100% of what the game offers short of the final boss. Yes, the ones in the demo are the only villain cameos in the game.
The game plays like it was made by teams of students.
I'm not attempting to justify. The gaming collective has a short and very selective memory. DLC wasn't done well by Avengers and it deserves the hate, but it was done countless times between 2015 and Avengers and you only hear about it when it's a publisher everyone hates. Square mostly gets glossed over.
yeah. i really want to play the new cyberpunk, but i'm so burned that i don't even look to get a cheap key with a vpn.
even with this, the only game i actually look forward to, i default to waiting for the goty-edition on the cheap in a couple of years.
i'm so annoyed at all the collectors/preorder/superduperfancypreoder-blablablub-editions, should-be-in-the-game-at-release-DLCs that i don't even get to the woke part.
it's fucked up really. now that i'm an adult who could afford to buy every games collectors edition these mongs fucked up so hard i will pay 10€ max for a AAA game.

"And people are ecstatic". You see crap like this all the time in headlines. "And New York can't handle it". Shit like that.
What "people" are they talking about? The ones that exist only in their heads?
"Retweeted 4 times! Yo, my shit is blowin' UP!"

Well, I like the way they're depicted here ....
It's fucked up when you go all in on a holy war and end up garnering less sympathy than stormtroopers from Star Wars, and you stick with it anyway.
without respect, we reject

I'm not seeing a headscarf around that whore.

I think that's a major factor as well.

Everytime you see Khan mentioned in the press her name is always prefaced with 'fan favourite'...which fan is that then?
The small minority of fans that barely make a percent of the total fanbase that most likely don't even read comics.

"The game plays like it was made by teams of students."
It probably was. Unpaid ones. Looking for "expo ..." I mean, something to put on their resume. What are those called again? Oh, yeah. "Chumps".
