    I feel some elaboration is needed since this is the internet and some people are bent on mis-representing or mis-interpreting your words.
    If you have a problem with Kamala Kahn as a character, that is fine. Everyone has different tastes. If you have a problem with her being the focus of a game that's meant to be about the actual Avengers- that is also fine; and there's a valid debate to be had with the latter.
    But I've seen a lot... A LOOOOT- of people who are broilingly enraged that she *exists*, and that's where I call Bullshit. It is not "sjw propaganda"- as the current buzzwords like to scream- to acknowledge that not everyone in the audience is a white man and to give representation to other demographics; and I get increasingly tired and aggravated every time I see a bitch fit thrown over it.

      Thank you for addressing this topic as right now I don't want to EVER mention that infamous bs about Kamala Khan. I just hope people don't attack you out of that. I'm tired of Cancel Culture coming for those who are being honest or kind or misaligations and I don't want that happening to you right now. Good luck.

      I agree such buzzwording is annoying. But I get the feeling that said representation is more used as a cheap shield by egos of people of the entertainment industry who will strawman anyone who doesn't like their work as racist or sexist.
      Plus the whole representation thing comes off as inherently racist itself because if you cannot identify with a characters humanity because of gender or race, then you're the one with the problem as I for one see some of myself in Kamala Khan here and I know plenty of black people prefer Peter Parker over Miles Morales. Plus there really is no empirical data that said representation actually has the influence Hollywood seems to think it has, the world is not as black and white as the internet seems to make you think it is.

      Personally, I don’t like the character in the comics at all, but I at least can say that her portrayal in this game is the best she has had so far, in my opinion (if she has appeared in TV shows or movies before, then I haven’t seen them, so I can’t speak for those); at least from the LPs and cutscene compilations I’ve seen because there’s no way I’m actually playing this glorified mobile game.

    What would have helped with the villain pool in my opinion would have been having some of the people who got powers on A-Day join or become brainwashed agents of AIM instead of just Taskmaster, Abomination, and MODOK as villains. It would actually make the story a lot better as there are actually stakes in trying to rescue some of the people who are being manipulated by AIM to do their dirty work and maybe would later be tortured for experiments if they failed their mission in stopping the Avengers.

    I honestly felt Kamala's introduction to this universe was the most organic here: in this game. Not perfect, but I at least understood who she was and what she stood for, her capabilities and limitations, and the pay off at the end worked because of it. Her culture, religion, background, etc, never mattered to me. I know that's just me, but unlike the comics, this game at least got me to say "Hey... I kind of would like to see more of you."

    Tony having to gradually gather pieces of his suit over the course of a game could make for a good story. Won't happen, since people would get annoyed at not being the full Iron Man immediately. Although there is a Metroidvania called Shadow Complex with that concept which was popular enough to get a remaster.

    Just one note: Maestro is an evil future version of the Hulk, but has absolutely nothing to do with Old Man Logan: he first appeared much earlier, in a Hulk storyline called Future Imperfect, back in 1992. Maybe him appearing in Hawkeye's story in Marvel's Avengers could be a reference to Old Man Logan, but they are not really related in the comics.

    It really sucks that the Avengers game turned out the way it did. Because like with Fast & Furious: Crossroads, there was an idea for a fun game.
    However the final product is clunky, the story and characters were uninteresting, the game has more crashes than a Russian freeway, and the full game is locked behind updates and DLC.

    As you have stated, this really does feel like a game that the dev team likely wanted to be proud of, but the higher-ups mandated that they put in systems that hurt the game at every turn, seemingly to get the... 5% or so who will actually buy all of that (nearly $600 for costumes, ugh).
    There's also the locking of Spider-Man behind a certain group of people who just happened to own certain hardware (for the record, I do have a PS4, and I still find it really disgusting).
    Also, somewhat unrelated note (maybe kind of): It feels like these triple-A titles are abandoning people who only have so much money to spend, and I'm worried about what the future will hold. I hope I'm just reading too deep into things.
    I also hope you take a break and play something you enjoy from time to time. I feel like you deserve it, man.

    To be honest, I have no qualms against Ms. Marvel, the problem is that nothing of interest has been established and the writing isn't strong enough to support _any_ of the characters since the plot itself is crap.
    I also kinda feel like the "idealistic kid joins their dream team" setup reads like self-insert fanfiction, rather than a fully fledged story.
    It also doesn't help that the titular Avengers don't assemble until the very end of the game. But that's just my take on the plot.
    At least with a game like Fast & Furious: Crossroads, they actually start you off playing as the iconic characters before sweeping them under the rug with their own boring self-insert OCs. It's also much shorter than Marvel's Avengers, take that what you will.

      Much like with Vienna and Cam from F&F Crossroads, coincidentally enough.

    I would argue that the combat is actually the game's biggest strength. The most fun I've had in the game is just the AI combat rooms, but there's really a lot each character can do aside from maybe Hulk. A lot of the more unique moves/enhancements are buried deep in the skill trees (or behind a paywall, like the finishers), because they want you to keep grinding through characters for a long time. Unfortunately, the game is very much tuned around being that co-op multiplayer style, so you are filling roles for MP sessions. Tank, DPS, etc. But the actual nuts and bolts of cracking endless robots in the face is pretty fun, at least for someone like me who plays a lot of character action stuff like Bayonetta and DMC.
    I would genuinely love to play a proper single player game where you play with these movesets instead of what the game actually is, which is those endlessly repurposed open maps solving mini puzzles and refighting the same handful of AIM enemies.

    You know I feel like this game's campaign could have taken some cues from Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, namely having each level designed around each characters unique abilities to keep the experience fresh and engaging all the way through. Seriously, Black Widow has a cloaking ability, and there's NO stealth levels that take advantage of that?
    15:29 Also, why is that the *only* thing that Hank Pym is known for? NERD RANT incoming in 3...2...1...
    1) Hank Pym was undergoing a mental breakdown and as such wasn't thinking clearly when that happened.
    2) Ever since that happened Hank has felt immense guilt and remorse for doing it and people still can't let it go.
    3) IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ACCIDENT! Due to miscommunication between the writer and artist, the writer intended for Hank to accidently hit Janet when he turned around to point at her, but the artist drew it so that it looked like he backhanded her with all his might.
    As a bonus, Spider-Man hit his wife, when she was pregnant nonetheless, but no one gives him shit for it, so why is Hank the only one who never gets to live it down?

    I disagree about your idea of there being plot holes, at least those specific ones your bring up. Something doesn't have to be someone's direct fault, for them to feel guilty or bad about it. Guilt isn't exactly a logical emotion. For at least Tony and Bruce, their guilt was mainly because they approved the plan to work together with George and Monica to build the reactor in the first place, even if they didn't build it themselves. Which then they thought got Cap killed.

Units can be acquired in-game from just searching boxes and they can be used to purchase cosmetics...but because the game still wants to milk you for as much money as possible, NONE of the skins that you have to buy with credits you can buy with units. The units are given their own skins that you can buy with them. And out of all the Unit skins...there is only one that I feel is good, that being a Mr. Fixit skin for Hulk. The other cool-looking skins? Like Ronan Hawkeye, Maestro Hulk, and the movie skins? You still have to pay the stupid microtransactions for.

    You say the story is good, but then you pointed out that (1) it's copying a comic initiative people didn't like, (2) the Avengers themselves barely even show up, and (3) it has barely any villains and those who are there are uninteresting. You also noted multiple incidents of the campaign basically being padded out with repetitive missions.

    Some things:
    First, from my quick research, Monica actually is a character from the comics, debuting in 2005. Also, I think the return in the end was a clone. I might be wrong on that, so someone correct me.
    Second, I do like that, for as bad as he's handled, they actually made MODOK somewhat threatening instead of a total joke like usual. And they actually included his pre-transformation self, unlike other Marvel series. The fight... yeah, looks like it sucks.
    Third, I didn't know you aren't a fan of the Ultimate Alliance games. Why is that?
    Fourth, jumping back to MODOK, this is just a guess, but maybe they wanted to do something different for the villain, since villains like Thanos and Doctor Doom get used a lot.
    Finally, off topic, but I would SO love a solo Black Widow game.
