Most people couldn't have named more than 5 superheroes before the MCU. Outside of Supes/Batman/Spiderman, nothing is (relatively) guaranteed.

I thought season 1 was substantively worse than seasons 2 and 3, but that's more because those are just such a high bar to clear than due to any real issue with season 1.

I think the issue is most of these superheroes are being compared to Iron Man after they already got a movie. Yeah, of course Iron Man wasn't as popular as Spider-man with people on the street. Spider-man had a movie franchise to introduce him to a wider audience.

I think among fans of 'nerd culture', who know about more comic book characters than the ones who just appear in movies, Iron Man was a solid B tier.

why do they keep making bad movies and not realize the remedy is "oh, we should make a good movie instead"
This is a true point, but as far as superhero media goes, I think the even bigger issue is that everyone - Marvel included - keeps trying to push characters that most people aren't actually interested in. They saw Guardians of the Galaxy make bank despite being a list of D-stringers, then thought they could do the same. Unfortunately, the superhero mania has died down, and most directors aren't James Gunn.

Greenlighting movies based on Morbius and Madame Webb are the most egregious examples of this trend. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Huh, I'm a little surprised my FFXIV 1.0 vote got no takers. Admittedly, I haven't played FFXIV but my understanding was that Square basically erased it from history and rebuilt the game with ARR as an apology.

Maybe it wasn't as objectively bad as the others mentioned here (in fact I'm almost positive it can't be) but that kind of response by the dev struck me as worth a shout.
FF14 1.0 would make an extended list of mine, but I can't justify it over stuff like ET, Superman 64, and Sonic 2006.

Nah, just winning a contest doesn't entitle you to a place on Rushmore, especially in Draven's case when its legitimacy is questionable.
Agreed.

Both of those are still better. You can just say 'Under Night' or 'Melty Blood'. Those names are fine, and people will know you're referring to the newest version. 2XKO's full name looks bad, and the shortened version of 2X just feels...lame.

The best comment I saw about it is that it looks like it was named by Elon Musk.

I don't see how me thinking City and Knight are worse than Asylum is misinformation.

When did I ever say that everyone agreed?
The impression I was getting from your posts was that no reception from the 360 era was to be trusted, so the only real take worth considering was how you felt about the series, and that the latter games were worse because open world, etc.

If that sounds like a stretch, then for clarity, I've basically been lumping you and foolmo together on this topic and he's already made posts like a million times.

Also, critical consensus in the PS360 era was basically worthless,
Okay, sure.

Arkham City is still the most well-regarded in the series by gamers as a whole, and gamers still thought that Arkham Knight was 'great gameplay, disappointing story'. That was true then and it's true now. That's what the actual consensus is, irrespective of our personal feelings.

This repetitive hatred of open world - to the point of spouting misinformation - is getting really old.

I think for the gaming-specific Rushmores you have to balance recognizability with the kind of stuff 'hardcore' gamers actually give a shit about.

Otherwise we'd be voting for Angry Birds, Candy Crush, Clash of Clans, and Subway Surfer. Maybe Mario Bros to throw the gamers a bone.

Umineko is my only fanboy vote. Symphony of the Night to a lesser extent, but I legit believe that's a huge achievement in music that continues to be recognized. Undertale and Nier are huge breakout soundtracks.
