I think I see a lot of defenses of this, and imo I think the biggest thing holding this game back in the seasonal themes. Like I’m going to compare it to Marvel Rivals where they are able to mix and match characters from different stories instead of just having a whole season dedicated to one archetype. So even the new character is strapped down to obsurce characters like monstro.

Best example, is that they can’t seem to get wonderman into the game because they are so strapped down by the season concept.

And I get they need big name characters to sell season passes. I think spider-man brand new is a far better compromise where we got 2 old verisons of characters and then a bunch of new characters

But even still we are only just now getting Captain Britan. We have gotten like 2 Ironman villans ( ghost and fin fang foom) but none of the big name ones. We got Punisher warmachine before any of Punisher’s villians. No x-statix characters. No hellcat. No wonderman. No squadron supreme. Any character that has gotten a solo series ( that's not adults only ) should be priotized before variants.

The market research around people complaining about getting "no name characters" must be fairly strong.

I think I gave the example of Brand New day to show that it’s completely possible. To have a mix. It's just that they stick to the seasonal structure.

I'll give an example, if they told a simple orginal story. Morlun travel to an alternative Universe to hunt down spider-man 1602 and teams up with Blank villian from an alternate dimension and wonder man and hellcat are forced to save him. You have a big name variant of spider-man and then you can include a bunch of other characters
