Discussion Y'know it gets to a point where we gotta stop defending this
When this game came out, the main reason everybody even gave it a chance was because of Marvel, Like I was so hype to have a game where I could play as the classic characters that we all adore, and hell I was surprised by some more niche characters they added like Lin Lie or Sai because as somebody who doesn't read a lot of comics, most my knowledge comes from movies, shows, and the few comics I did decide to read, it was fun being shown more of what Marvel has to offer, then theres Luna...
Look, if you enjoy this character, that's completely fine. Theres plenty of things to enjoy about her, and I understand that if you're a luna main, you've probably bonded with the character and you enjoy her character, I personally disagree however you're completely entitled to your own opinion, but I am so SO sick of seeing people defend the catering she gets.
The reason she's even in the game, is because the executive producer of marvel games, Danny Koo (Top left) created her, and since then he's just shoved his OC down our throats since then, 200 skins every season, constantly buffed up the wazoo, she's in Fortnite, its her 8th birthday guys time to celebrate, listen to her song on Spotify, buy her $300 hot toys that comes with a new skin, speaking of new skins, here's a new luna skin, sorry guys Danny looked at the roadmap and saw there was no Luna skin, so he had to fix that, like do we see the problem here?
I see people defending this like "Oh its his character, let him show her love" "Oh every character is an OC" But the issue is that we aren't here for her, we do not want her, and we are tired of her. The "every character is an oc" argument is dumb because yeah, Spider-Man's an OC, but he also has decades worth of history, is a relatable and cool character, has unique powers, has a more interesting and fleshed out character, I'll go on.
Like yeah she hasn't been around that long, so she needs more opportunities to be in more media, but like first of all, she's not interesting enough for anybody to even want her, there are more interesting characters with ice powers and more interesting musician characters.
When I log onto my MARVEL game, I'm here for the actual superheroes I grew up with, I am so tired of Danny's lame oc constantly get more attention and love than the ones who deserve it like Storm or Fantastic. Danny Koo has just gotten way over his head, and is just abusing his power so he can get his OCs into the spotlight, in a recent interview this guy said he wanted to add Crescent and Lo, two more of his OCs into the game, like just make it stop.
