Will the future of Marvel's Avengers be played out in theaters or on console?

The young superheroine Ms. Marvel is the central character of the game "Marvel's Avengers" -

Endgame

.

With this title, which can be translated as "end of the game", the Avengers, or rather the Marvel Cinematic Universe turned a page, took a break.

Time to think about your future, between multiverse, TV series and new heroes (heroines!).

But for the Avengers, the game was actually just beginning, with the first video game entirely dedicated to them, available on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Stadia.

Unveiled at E3 2019,

was to transform the Spider-Man trial, and fuck DC and its

.

A bit like in the cinema.

Why are you making that face ?

The first images showed how on A-Day, in the midst of the inauguration of the Avengers HQ in San Francisco, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Black Widow are attacked by the villainous Taskmaster and his men, resulting in death. of one of them, their separation and their banishment from society.

But above all, they showed the look of the characters, and there, the cold shower.

Even if it would have been complicated, in terms of rights, money, time, for the actors to resume their roles in the game, impossible for the player and fan not to think about it.

However, he finds himself with superheroes with a generic, bland, interchangeable character design, far from the charisma of their cinema incarnations.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLY !!!

A superheroine to the rescue

Without really saying it, the Crystal Dynamics studio found a loophole by entrusting the lead role of its story to a superhero not yet appeared on the screens.

In fact a superhero: Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel.

She will soon have the right to her live series on Disney +, but in the meantime, the young girl, of Pakistani origin and of Muslim faith, makes it her mission to reunite the historic Avengers to fight against the organization AIM and the villainous MORDOK.

I started #AvengersGame yesterday and I find it really not great 😕 despite everything I love Kamala, she is super endearing, but the game is not inspired, I feel myself to continue or not 😶 #Xbox pic.twitter. com / R1S6Dfer9m

It is what there is best in a story not very original, in the execution not very inspired apart from some visual flashes (the combos), and in a way ahead of the future cinema projects, all more inclusive: the first Asian superhero Shang-Chi,

 starring Angelina Jolie and directed by Chloe Zhao, and - finally - the movie

, again under the direction of director Cate Shortland.

A game designed over time

With these Avengers, it is ultimately less a question of incarnation than of personalization.

The player can indeed customize and upgrade at will (excessively?) His Captain America or his Iron Man, with different powers, skills, equipment, statistics and all the missions and the loot that go with it.

The goal is clearly to play for the long haul, with the announcement of new missions and DLC already, as well as new characters: Hawkeye, Spider-Man in PlayStation exclusive and perhaps Black Panther.

Ultimately more video game than superhero, the title remains the only way to experience Marvel and Avengers in the months to come, with the postponement of the releases and filming of films and series of the Marvel Cineatic Universe.

Why Marvel and DC Comics are increasing the reboots of their universes and series?

(and why are they fed up)
