“This had nice little character moments here and there, but it had the problems most crossovers have:
1. There Are Weird Properties That Need Promo
Some of the characters made sense, but others only seem to be there because there’s a Netflix or a Hulu or a whatever coming up for them.
2. The Pieces Don’t Fit
Sometimes it’s like Captain Marvel can blow a planet in half with a flip of her alt hairstyle, and sometimes a fairly large giant can give her a run for her money. So which is it?
3. The Weird Timely Stuff
There’s always something that happens that dates a crossover like this. The classic example, Grant Morrison’s JLA run had to deal with blue laser Superman as that was the Superman style of the time. In this one, we have Ghost Rider in a car. A car? You don’t “ride” a car, guys. He’s Ghost Driver now, and I already made that movie by chopping up Ghost and Drive. It wasn’t good. But at least I’m trying. Also, everyone keeps talking about how Wolverine was dead, Odin was dead. She Hulk seems more Hulk-y than usual (which is fine, but if She Hulk is a stronger rage monster, isn’t she just Hulk with longer hair and lipstick?). Hulk isn’t around. The Fantastic Four must have been intact during the one day this happened. Point being, Marvel, baby, when you do a crossover, just have characters as their sort of default forms. You don’t have to turn Moon Girl into Moon Boy, but if, I don’t know, Spider-Man has his 6 arms again, feel free to omit them from the crossover. I know you love your Superman laser idea (Guys, he can LOOK AT a CD and see what’s on it!), and you think it’s going to last forever, but it ain’t.”
