Not gonna lie, I forgot Dead Space 2 was even in this contest until I got to this match in my writeups. Apparently the voters forgot as well, because Spiderman destroyed it. This actually could have been a lot worse, because Spidey was up 75-25 early before settling down. It was nice to see for us MCU fans, and it was also nice to see for licensed games on the whole. Those games tend to be rushed crap, but this one was neither rushed nor crap. In a lot of circles, Spiderman was the game of the year for 2018. That's how well done and well respected that game is, so seeing it annihilate a middling game was no surprise.

It also led to the predictable conversation that happens every single time a Spiderman or Batman game does well, which is that we need a character battle without the shackles. I fully agree with this, for the record. We've gotten too good at this and need the shakeup. Think of how unpredictable a lot of those matches would be. Spiderman vs Dante. Wolverine vs Luigi. Batman vs Kirby. Superman vs Ryu. Wonder Woman vs 2B. Thanos vs Kratos. Black Panther vs Ness. Iron Man vs Samus. Hulk vs Sephiroth. Mickey Mouse vs Sonic. Simba vs Solid Snake. Crono vs Goku.

The possibilities are endless, and it would be a ''great'' contest. We would probably lean too heavily toward nominating too many characters that aren't pure gaming characters, but so what? Allen obviously knows we want this, too, and I doubt a fellow gaming nerd like him is averse to the idea. I don't think he's refused due to lack of desire. It might simply be an issue with licensing costs and such. Who really knows? But if that contest can reasonably happen, we need to do it.

As a final side note, fuck Sony for trying to keep Spiderman out of the MCU. Sony's comic movies almost all suck ass, and this includes Into the Spiderverse. That might legitimately be the most overrated movie ever made. The first half was just dumb, but then Nic Cage, a pig, and an anime robot show up. Unless Nic Cage is being burned alive or bossed around by Sean Connery, I don't want to see him, hear him, or watch a movie that stars him. The ''only'' parts of that movie that I enjoyed were Miles and Prowler. Miles is good. Prowler is great. I'll take nothing away from those two. Everything else sucked, and I'm convinced half the stuff Board 8 gets obsessed with is an inside joke troll job. I refuse to believe you people actually like Into the Spiderverse, Shadow of the Colossus, Umineko, and Snakes on a Plane as much as you say you do. You're smarter than this. Supposedly.

Ironically, I loved the original Spiderman trilogy and Venom was alright. Granted Venom was only alright because of Tom Hardy, but hey! I don't ask for much. Just about everything else though is dog shit, especially compared to what the MCU can pull off. Yeah, I'm kissing the ring, what of it? Bite me. Those movies don't all make a billion dollars by accident, and you're not cool for not liking them.
