Now that Avengers End Game has been out for some time now and the Avengers franchise as we knew it for the past decade has all but come to an end (well, at least the first phase), people were excited about Square Enix’s Avengers game which is slated for release on May 15, 2020 but after seeing the trailer, the hype has died down considerably.
The trailer for the Avengers video game was just released

And honestly, it’s completely understandable why some people think that the trailer is kind of a mess
Fans are complaining about the graphics…

People had clearly been waiting for this game for quite a while and can’t help but feel that the game should have been better. The Avengers franchise has a HUGE fan following, and a lot of people looked forward to the game knowing that another movie with the same characters wasn’t going to come out. So it kinda sucks that a lot of those fans were left disappointed.
Maybe the game didn’t have a big budget or there still might be a lot of work that has to go into it before the actual release?
Maybe they blew it all on the epic Avengers: Endgame so they had to make do with cheaper cast voices and graphics options?
After a few years of waiting they finally show the Avengers game and I can describe my reactions as just whelmed. I'll still buy it because I'm an idiot but I hope some serious work goes into it before release.

People are also complaining that the characters don’t have a likeness with the characters we see in movies

Which is why the entire thing looks a little low budget and cheap
No Hawkeye? No thanks. Also this could have been so much more with movie-like characters. Instead it's just another game, looks cheap.

i feel like the uncanny valley with the avengers game is that all the characters look and sound vaguely similar to the mcu actors but they’re just different enough to be creepy and cheap looking

But then again, the game was never intended to look like the actors who played the roles in the Avengers franchise. It’s a separate universe which is why the game is voiced and acted by different actors. But this fact is a little hard to swallow for fans who had already developed an affiliation with the actors who played the roles in the movies.
And people noticed that there was someone missing from the trailer… and is it even surprising? Considering he was also left out from the iconic poster for Avengers End Game?
So in the avengers game you can play as everyone from the original 6 except Hawkeye. Honestly.. fuck yourself. #Avengers

Nonetheless, a few fans still have hope and are excited about the game nonetheless. Maybe the makers of it will have made some improvements that fans are demanding by the time the Avengers game is released. Only time will tell.
