I haven’t seen it but I really got the impression that this was like Doom, Rampage, and Monster Hunter. The studios got scared of making the movie actually like the game instead of following their standard formula for a movie. Then they compromise so hard that the video game fans don’t like the story and the regular viewers don’t have any attachment to the characters. All that’s left is IP soup and if Marvel can’t make that successful how can a video game franchise people haven’t cared about since 2012 pull it off?
