Justifying why they were excluded from Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite
Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Director Claims Fans Won't Remember "Some of the X-Men"

Your modern Marvel fan, maybe they don't even remember some of the X-Men characters,

The seeming exclusion of the X-Men from upcoming FGC centerpiece Marvel vs Capcom Infinite obviously did not go without comment. Though earlier rumors suggested their involvement plus that of the Fantastic Four, E3 2017 came and went without so much as a snikt-bub to please the fans. And now it seems as if Capcom's trying to do their damnest to downplay that gaping hole in the Marvel side of the roster.

Said Capcom Director of Production Michael Evans to Gamespot recently:

Your modern Marvel fan, maybe they don't even remember some of the X-Men characters, but they know some of the Guardians characters or Black Panther. You know what I mean? Captain Marvel may seem like a strange pick, but she's fantastic. She fits the gameplay. She fits the story, and they're gonna be really pushing her as a strong female lead all the way up into the movie.

If his statement comes off a little incredulous, that's at least partially because Logan was released just a few months ago, on March 3rd, to general and critical acclaim. Similarly, though less well received, X-Men Apocalypse and X-Men: Days of Future Past were all released within the last five years -- more recently than Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, in fact.

Pathetic as usual.

 

[Brandeezy]

Lol

 

[TRIPLE M]

Are the fakkit inhumans in the game?

 

[Bigbigguy]

Why did they even mention Black Panther like he's not DLC

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

there's like 7 xmen movies that literally starts with the marvel marquee

 

[bigillwill06]

Wolverine magneto and storm are in the game..do they qualify as x-men?

 

[Return of the Jedi]

That's the PR way of saying "Disney strongarmed us into pushing an MCU-centric roster."



I'll miss the X-Men, sure..but the real tragedy here is we lost Doom.

 

[TKOK]

there's been like 10 x men related movies, plus a few shows and games all within the last 20 years

 

[Days of Future Piff]

I was literally reading that interview with the face

"You see, the characters are just functions"

 

[Mr. Negative]

But look, guys! you get Carol Danvers! CAROL DANVERS is in the game! She's great! It's gonna be GREAT!

 

[Tetsuo]

I hope this game fails.

 

[Mic-Nificent]

But look, guys! you get Carol Danvers! CAROL DANVERS is in the game! She's great! It's gonna be GREAT!

If Marvel's not careful there's going to be a backlash to that character....They're trying TOO hard to push that character. She's not even the most popular female superhero at Marvel. Ms Marvel is way more popular than Carol at this point.

Don't know if you're up on wrestling like that, but Marvel basically turned Carol into Roman Reigns.

Capcom keep shooting themselves in the foot since 2008 and I can't wait until they get bought out
