It doesn't help that the character design is hideous and just keeps getting worse. I didn't think we'd get worse than the woman with the weird hair, but then we got the guy with the metal face and a dress.

Just the way David Bowie liked it.

The body switching is absolutely baffling. It's incredibly clear that it's only there because he didn't want there to be a game over state like in his other lovely games, but then there absolutely is a game over state. And every time you body switch it completely destroys whatever narrative there was going on, because only Kay'l had anything going for him and the rest are just mooks with different stats.

Just use a loving game over screen! The type of game you wanted to make was an RPG, just give them level ups you hack.

What seemed especially baffling is on like, the second death or whatever, a complete nobody comes charging into the room for no explained reason just to sacrifice themselves to give the player another chance. Like if you're going to try to explain "lives" as a literal in-narrative/world thing, it helps if you don't totally undercut it by having it be completely immersion breaking in it's own way.

Same thing goes for the doctor guy showing up when Kay'l got downed those few times. On paper, it seems like it should be more realistic or less immersion breaking then respawning at a checkpoint, in execution, it's weird and awkward as gently caress.

The fact the doctor revives you right where you fell is what ruins it completely. If Cage just had you wake up in a hospital or clinic when you die it would have been fine.

Also he's apparently going bald, so he's probably fine for Pat somehow.

But here's the kicker, remember how much Pat and Paige post that one elmo gif on twitter?

Yeah, it's super BS that Volume 0 didn't come with her Spider-verse issue, but it's an even bigger disconnect reading that issue and jumping to Vol. 0 because it goes from a very grounded reality story with street-level crimes to her talking about how the multiverse is crazy and she's met so many Peters hanging in alternate realities.

Sometimes you also just grow out of allergies, especially if you have gradually increased exposure from, say, your bff and co-worker being covered in an invisible layer of sweet baby dust.

I've really enjoyed crossovers in the past, but I was reading the new Ms. Marvel and the new Luke Cage and Iron Fist, and before anything could really get off the ground, a whole bunch of dumb crossover bullshit started happening and it's the worst.

I want low stakes weird community superhero poo poo, not a bunch of world ending nonsense or predictive fascism.

Ms. Marvel especially ran into that a bit much from what I've gotten around to so far, I just wanna see Kamala doing neat hero stuff, if I wanted to see anyone else or some big supergroup story I'd go read those. :mad:

To be fair, the fast-moving ghost thing showing up on the camera when they pointed it at the stairs was a Pretty Good Frighten.

The difficulty of these Frightens has been Very Good. Hooray for the Shitstorm!
