Hyper focused on existing comic stories from almost 10 years prior. And ignoring lots of the characters in the MCU. You couldn’t play Hulk, Thor, or Hawkeye out of the main bookFocusing on movie characters is a must. One or two players at a table might be keeping up with comics, but it’s unlikely all will. But if you can play in the MCU the barrier becomes easy. Players can catch up with 1-3 movies rather than nine or ten omnibuses. Also didn’t like lack of variable enemy difficulty. Smacking down Doctor Doom should be an advanced super team fight and not the same difficulty as fighting Whirlwind or Wrecker. Fear the same fate that apparently happened to the 2003 game. Where Marvel expected sales close to DnD and didn’t realize the huge gulf between the RPG market leader and every other gameIf they’re expecting WizCo sales numbers but only get Free League or Paizo sale numbers they might quickly pull the plugAlmost hesitant to jump in. Don’t want to buy expecting supplements only to get half a game line</blockquote>
