9. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3

I still find it hard to believe that we're talking about Ultimate Alliance. Now. In 2016.

Don't get me wrong, Raven Software's lovable take on the Marvel Universe was an admirable if not particularly impressive experience that was brilliant fun to play with your mates, but it wasn't anything more than a harmless isometric dungeon crawler.

Still, there must be an audience for the franchise, as Activision deemed it fit to bring a pseudo-remaster of the series to current-gen consoles but a week ago. I say pseudo because, well, not much has changed visually since the two titles dropped in 2006 and 2009, but it's obvious that they clearly aren't the main event.

No, if anything, Marvel and Activision's timely re-release would appear to be nothing more than an attempt at gauging interest in the brand. And, given the reception from fans thus far, it would appear as though MUA still has a home in the medium.

A third addition to the series would of course keep inline with Marvel's ostensible designs on the industry, having only recently clocked onto the fact that DC - bucking the trends of their most recent cross-medium excursions - have been owning the genre when it comes to critical and commercial reverence. What better way to sure up their upcoming Spidey reboot than with a sequel to one of the most nostalgically adored superhero franchises of all time?

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
