The world's largest gaming conference--the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3)--is currently taking place in Los Angeles. While the event proper begins today, the press conference part of the Expo took place mostly over the weekend, with a bunch of big announcements--and Keanu blessings--hitting the news over the past few days. The big reveal from last night was the long-awaited video game adaptation of Marvel's The Avengers. Slated for a May 15, 2020 release and developed by nu-Tomb Raider developers Crystal Dynamics (with help from Eidos Montreal), publisher Square Enix released the premiere trailer for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC game. Here it is:
Twitter was...less than pleased with that. Some of the beef was directed at the fact that the character models didn't exactly resemble the now-iconic movie versions of Marvel's superhero team, while others were miffed that the game just didn't look all that great for a current gen adaptation of one of the biggest budget properties in the world.
Well, they finally announced the avengers games, oh boy, that announcement was something else, haha#SquareEnixE3 #Avengers pic.twitter.com/JdCw44Bidw

The Avengers game probably should have distanced itself from the look of the MCU more. Having a Bruce Banner dressed and styled like Mark Ruffalo really reminds you that it's not Mark Ruffalo. Embrace a new look.

Is it too much to ask for an #Avengers game that's of the quality of PS4's Spider-Man game?

Yes, yes, I guess it is.

Man I want to love the #Avengers game. But damn those character models look bad. Why does Iron Man look like fat Mac from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia? #SquareEnixE3 pic.twitter.com/7jtGh729IZ

Although one look at the voice cast that the game has assembled makes it pretty clear where all the budget went:

And because Twitter is never just about negativity and complaining it of course had a very simple and easy fix to the perceived problems too:
