>>99988250>and while you can push the "Marvel is to blame for the dull-ass roster" narrative, why is Capcom side even more boring and crawling with reused assets? There's only so much blame they can pass off to Marvel.It depends on how much rumour you believe. Current belief is that Ike of Marvel didn't give Capcom enough money to make the game properly. Marvel never cared for videogames and MvCI was intended as a cheap advert for MCU.
People who actually played the game say that the gameplay itself is good. But the art assets just aren't good enough and there is no resources available to fix anything. Capcom only did the bare minimum to finish a fighting game artstyle and animation wise, and it is up to you which side is at fault for it.
My personally belief is that Disney cheaped out, because Ike is famous for being a cheapass who ended up kicked from managing the MCU because he was almost killing the cinematic universe. Feige had him removed via a coup before long term damage was done.
