The problem with Kamala Khan isn't that she's a Paki, it's that she's an Elastagirl. Tell me did anyone ever dream of being Mr. Fantastic? Did anyone ever dress up as Mr. Fantastic for Halloween or see any other kids do so?

The answer I'm certain is NO. Because every (man)child can easily imagine how cool it is to be Batman, Spider-Man, or Wolverine. What would it be like to have Superhuman Elasticity? It would be fucking disgusting, the sight of you stretching your limbs out like a Flex Armstrong would make people ill.

Now that most certainly isn't to say there isn't value in characters like Mr. Fantastic, Plasticman, or Mrs. Incredible. But they only work within the confines of a cartoony universe which is fully divorced from the confines of any reality.

Don't tell me I'm the only one who sees Kamala Khan in this game with her realistically detailed wrinkled finger lines and doesn't think it's innately gross. And it just looks stupid too. And believe me I'll be saying the same thing if the Marvel Cinematic Universe is dumb enough to bring out Mr. Fantastic onto the live action screen after 3 mediocre attempts to make the character work in live action.

Fun fact; it's long been rumored that Kamala WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A Reed Ricahrds fangirl, as far as being obsessed with him with the intensity of a teenage crush on a celebrity. But that editorial vetoed and vetoed this key element of Kamala's character HARD because A. this was the start of the period where Ike started wanting the Fantastic Four embargoed/depushed due to his disdain that the film rights were locked up with Fox and B. editorial had already decided to push her and push her HARD as the equivalent of Kyle Raynor, IE the new fresh face of the Marvel Universe and demanded she be linked to Carol in hopes of piggybacking what they felt was Kamala's impending smash success to Carol. Which in turn made them make Carol Kamala's idol instead of Reed.

So would she have been ms fantastic? I mean it'd make "sense" with her powers I guess but seem a bit on the nose still.

This game is still alive? I was having fun until I reached the post-game content

Couldn't find a single soul while matchmaking
 
Call me crazy, but I really think this is up there as one of the biggest embarrassments of last gen. It shits the bed like Anthem and others did, but the fact it's still such an objective failure while being part of the biggest IP in media is astounding. You'd think it'd be able to float with a solid playerbase on the fact it's Marvel alone, but nope, it's just that boring and shit.

Or maybe that isn't a sign of just how shitty this game is and more a sign of just how close Marvel is to being on the outs? I dunno.

No, the manager would wait at the front door, stop you, take you to his office, make a call, and finally thank you.

Then suddenly all the employees surround you and begin clapping in congratulations.

Why not both? Marvel burnout is real, and this game is just that terrible, and its just a compounding failure where one reinforces the other.

I think its just that the game is shit, most MCU fans I know don't play videogames, for example a coworker of mine wears Iron Man and Captain America shirts from time to time, I've heard her say she "loves her bf 3000" and unironically believes that all gamers are terrorists

perhaps Square should just stick to turn-based JRPs.

It would be nice if they released those once in a while, but instead they are too busy jerking off to "ACTION CINIMATIC RPGS" and trying to make the Brave/Default system work despite it having the fundamental flaw of Bosses being able to abuse it better than players ever could.
