Marvel's Avengers: 10 Reasons You Should Be Worried

3. The Storyline Appears To Be Pretty Generic

When Marvel's Avengers first received the green light, Marvel Comics was attempting to make fans forget about the X-Men by instead putting the focus on the Inhumans (characters they owned unlike, at the time, those mutants). It was an initiative that failed spectacularly, sent comic book sales plunging, and has seen the Inhumans now very much moved to the sidelines in the Marvel Universe.

Guess what this game mostly revolves around? Yes, the Inhumans are very much the focus here, and while that's good news for Ms. Marvel (the only good thing to come out of this period of storytelling), it gives this title a dated feel with a premise - the emergence of Inhumans - which already feels stale.

Earth's Mightiest Heroes breaking up and having to reassemble isn't exactly a new idea, so that won't be easy to get invested in, while M.O.D.O.K. doesn't appear to have motivations which are any different to those that have been seen before. Throw in A.I.M. as the game's forgettable goons, and the only real surprise is going to be how Captain America is somehow resurrected.

That will probably be one to read up on Wikipedia about once Marvel's Avengers is released...
