NYCC 2019: Ms. Marvel Revealed As Avengers Game's Main Character

One of the worst Marvel characters, and if the game could look worse...

Interesting choice to have it star a b-level character. But then again, the guardians of the galaxy were kind of a b-level comic until the movie's great success. Wonder if the next game will star squirrel girl. That would be awesome.

That's out of touch. Makes it a hard pass for me

I’ve had zero interest in this ever since the first gameplay video released. It just doesn’t look good. I feel like it’s going to end up getting a 5 and flopping.

Ewww an inhumam wtf are they thinking.

Now I'm even more interested, a sixth playable character. Those big hands will do some damage.

Why are white men so threatened? They prefer that all media to have a white male as the archetype or template. I'm sorry for you, but no more Disney mammy characters or Negro blackbird characters. No more bucked toothed Asian characters. Clearly Disney knows their racist awful past history, and clearly they want to change it.

Anyone concerned with the graphics should definitely stick with the PC version of course as Digital Foundry has confirmed that the PC version is stunning having played it first hand, but the console versions (particularly PS4 Pro) left them deeply concerned with choppy frame rates, and no per object motion blur, oh and wait for it... a checkerboard rendered solution.

Taskmaster looks so bad.

The graphics are a real turn off.

If the main character is going to be Ms. Marvel, pass. It's got nothing to do with her gender, nationality or anything else allegedly controversial...I just think her power set is pretty lame. If they wanted to go the route of rookie hero moving to the big leagues, they should've given us a character creator. That would've been an instant buy for me.

The game will suck anyways :)

Who cares? This game will be a crap anyway, without her or not.

Having Square-Enix as publisher already made me to stay away from this crap.

Everything shown of this game feels underwhelming. The character design looks uninspired, bland setting, questionable voice acting for certain characters, gameplay looks floaty with no real impact to showcase the power of the heroes.

I hope the game turns out great but after viewing each trailer the game feels its missing something to make it truly standout.

Seems strange to make an Avengers game, right when the MCU has just been at its height, show off the main characters from those movies in the reveal and subsiqent trailers ... and then say, "But the MAIN character is this lesser know super hero who hasn't been in the MCU at all." Isn't the target audience for this game going to want the main movie characters to be the core of this game?

But then I thought it was weird they didn't use Disney money to get the voices and likenesses of the actors either. So I guess I really don't know what's up with this game.

Reading comments related to gender on gaming websites makes me sympathize with Anita Sarkeesian, which I never thought I would say but in ways gaming communities have become so toxic when involving gender or race.

@Elranzer: they seem to only be happy playing some Nathan Drake looking character, game developers need to stop worrying so much what fools think.

Lol 😂 it’s going bomb isn’t it know. This not squareenix move it’s a Disney move to put her in the game . I pass

I am really skeptical about this game so i don't buy anything i see on their trailers. When Insomniac announced Spiderman i was excited not just because it was Spiderman but because i knew what kind of game they wanted to make. This Avengers game just looks bad

Annnnd pass...

Yes. Ms Marvel is awesome. I am pleased.

She a perfect fit due to both being popular with fans and not being a character that's been a member of the Avengers like 400 times already, so she can function in that "fish out of water" role to learn about the inner workings of the Avengers organization.

I think this paired with the announcement that “everything” is changing suggests this is still very much a work in progress. Having a young fan type who is also a burgeoning superhero is fine as a POV character for fans, but it’s a bit curious they put an established character in that role when that would usually be occupied by a player generated original avatar.

I never heard of Ms. Marvel before

That's pretty funny. Though I wasn't interested in it, I had thought 'wow finally a proper superhero game that's not Batman'.

This isn't a bad idea in a vacuum, but I'm sure most people just wanna play with the iconic superheroes, not the 4th Ms Marvel, this is dipping into too many sauces to be a great game like Arkham.

Kamala Khan is very lame and not popular at all. she doens't have any great stories of her own, she has some fun moments in other books but her own series hasn't done her any justice, many other superheroes have done the superhero while in school thing and her sctick is to fan girl out whenever she is around another hero.

if you guys use your free trial of Marvel Unlimited go read her stuf on the app or the website, its trash

also for what its worth on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 whenever i play coop on line with randoms she is rarely ever chosen

so idk where this "she is a popular recognizable character" stuff comes from but also keep in mind that the person who is VP of Marvel and behind its global marketing is a girl named Sana Amnat...so let that put things in perspective for you

Not sure how I feel about this.

On the one hand I think it’s a smart move to center the story around a not as familiar character that takes on the role of the audience in some way as they discover things that other more seasoned members wouldn’t already know but at the same time choosing an actual character from the marvel universe that, let’s just call it what it is, isn’t really known and will no doubt be confused with Captain Marvel from the recent Avengers movie might turn some off completely.

I will admit, when I heard the news that Ms. Marvel was the main character I thought this was perhaps for some other mobile or spin off title; not the main Avengers game that was getting so much play from the gaming media.

Imagine my reaction when I realized it wasn’t.

It’s not that I think there is no way they can pull it off, but I think I would feel the same way if they said the main character of this new title was Colossus, Winter Soldier, or even Hawkeye. Those are all great characters but I just don’t get the same feeling that an entire game (especially a huge one like this.) should be centered around them.

Then again, my knowledge of the comic world is extremely limited. So, what do I know?

-Ya’ think, Ninja!?-

I would be more interested to hear what those gamers out there who are big into the comic scene have to say.
