@ProfofEvil What? When did I say it’s because it’s not comic accurate? It’s just lame to position a story based on experience/a fleshed out world then have it be entirely “first time” stories. You are putting words in my mouth
People can say whatever they want about Insomniac’s Marvel stuff
None of it is touching the bottom of the barrel quite like this game’s Cap and Thor designs
It's an adaptation and a video game. There's waaaaaaaaaay more latitude for nuance in this type of conversation. You don't NEED to be so pedantic over 'zis isn't in da fuckin' comics'
@ProfofEvil I mean I just see this defense often and I find it fundamentally flawed. I get WHY they did it but you can’t have your cake and eat it too. You gotta commit
I feel like if we’re making the excuse that an established world would make the stories lackluster then we must apply this same standard to all capeshit and therefore no stories except “first” stories could be told
Remember when they kept the New 52 JL origin, including Cyborg as a founding member of the League, followed by him basically just falling asleep for a decade or whatever so he could wake up and join the Titans instead
What a comic, man
I can't necessarily blame the storyteller for wanting that fresh sense of urgency in their narrative than making everything around the central conflict feel "we've done this before, it will never be as fresh or as exciting"
The complaint about Insomniac’s Spider-Man being 10 years into superheroing and not having faced off against Ock or Gobby has always been goofy. Opening of the game establishes Kingpin has been his main threat. The development of Otto and Norman is, imo, a feature, not a bug. 1/2
This was the last Spider-Man game to come before Insomniacs Spider-Man
I really think the last few years have spoiled you guys too much and you’ve forgotten how bad things once were
I was skimming the New History of the DC Universe issues to check on a retcon I thought happened in it(it didn’t I was hallucinating it) and oh my god this book is genuinely so terrible it’s kinda inspiring. Absolutely no soul or even cool pages of the history, just wiki notes
Instead of a Wolverine game they should do a Beast game where Kelsey Grammer reprises the role. Also he’s not blue and he has a brother named Niles and he has to host the perfect dinner party for Seattle’s finest
Kratos somberly reckoning with his violent and aspiring to be a better father while his dead wife is doing double jumps and air combos in another realm is so fucking funny. imagine if Laura Palmer was doing DOOM shit in the Black Lodge
my least favorite superman story trope is "if superman wasn't around, lois would've ended up with lex"
no the fuck she wouldn't
genuinely comes from a brutally spiteful characterization of lois as lusting after power
