Ever since Insomniac revealed its Wolverine game, I’ve had serious doubts about whether this studio truly understands the characters it’s working with.
Wolverine doesn’t even feel like Wolverine from the comics or other media. He’s supposed to be a sarcastic, foul mouthed, short tempered lone wolf asshole with a heart of gold. Instead, he comes across as a generic nice guy who’s a team player and apologizes to people, lacking the attitude and personality that make Wolverine iconic.
The story also seems all over the place, with changes to established characters, their personalities, and their lore.
So, do you guys genuinely have faith in Insomniac to deliver future Marvel games featuring badass, gritty heroes like the Punisher, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and Moon Knight? Especially telling darker stories.
If they can’t get Wolverine right, why should we trust them with characters who are even more violent, morally complicated, and uncompromising? I don’t want to see these characters watered down into generic, inoffensive superheroes who lack the brutality, edge, and personality that make them unique.
