If you're not going to make a game where a multiracial polycule of pansexual otherkin piss on the heroes' corpses, you might as well not make the Justice League the villains in the first place.
Part of the problem is that they're not the villains. If it were Booster Gold or Plastic Man, for instance, they would be focused on destroying Brainiac first or discovering some way to reverse the mind control. But the SS don't even care.
Now that's odd, isn't it? How the game's title just straight-up announces what it is. Like we've had Batman v. Superman, Justice League vs. Teen Titans, but those titles implied the two sides with fight each other but not necessarily to the death. And so, in this game, the
real villain should be Brainiac and Brainiac alone. Right?
But that isn't the case. The game was written intentionally for you to roleplay very evil people. The title begs the question why it's even worth your time buying it. Unless, of course, you just like roleplaying the villains.
Someone else brought up this point too:
Why was the brainwashing even there? They are villains, why not have them do villain stuff and win?
This is great point. Why
was the brainwashing ever a factor? Seems to me the game was leading you on into thinking that it could be reversed. Except the title of the game indicates otherwise. So, the reality is, killing the JLA was always inevitable.
Naturally, people would have imagined that killing the JLA, if inevitable, would mean your characters would have their backs against the wall and left without a choice. But no, the SS is actually malicious. Nobody present before Batman's death even tries to think of a way to reverse it. Not even, "Let's leave him tied up and under a rock somewhere until we kill Brainiac. Batman is sure to owe us later."
It's so stupid.
