why is this IP so powerful in the West?
>>745992591For me, it’s the ultimate spider-man game.
disney for boys
>>745992591It isn't anymore. Literally everyone is clowning on it for either being desperate, out of touch losers, or completely apathetic towards what the appeal of their IP even is. Spider-Man is the exception because a lot of people know there is good shit that can be mined from a superhero who has a normal life that is impacted by his hero life and vice versa. But yeah, pic rel is basically the hack writing that took over in the late 90's and 2000's due to retarded fans like this taking the reins and just thinking up shallow shit for "hype" and "aura."
Marvel is a brand, no an IP
>>745992591A loyal army of Manchildren in their 40s-50s who never mentally grew up (which the company would refer to as, both as an insult and affectionately, 'Marvel Zombies').
>>745992725That's what they wanted and tried to create. But newsflash, making the IP gay and retarded backfired on them, and lost the male audience. Y'know who men like? The Hulk. Look at what was did to him and compare that to Professor Hulk in the comics. One knew how to have fun and also even handle a hyper masculine character getting his edges sanded off slightly before going back to normal, savage Hulk.
