History YMMV / XMenDestiny

** Aimi is implied to be Sunfire's daughter. When {{Creator/Disney}} decided to [[Disney/BigHero6 adapt another team Sunfire was a part of]], Aimi's voice actress Creator/JamieChung was cast as one of his teammates.

* KickTheDog / MoralEventHorizon: Pixie's death is meant to drive home how evil Bastion is. How effective it is really depends on how you feel about Pixie.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Bastion]] is an AI created to defend humanity against mutants, but [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming grew beyond his programming]] and [[AIIsACrapshoot became a threat to humanity]]. Seemingly killed in battle with the X-Men, Bastion survives by uploading his program into an orbiting satellite. Making contact with Luis Reyes, the head of the Mutant Response Division, Bastion creates a plan to take over the world by turning everyone into his mindless slaves. Directing Reyes to obtains a sample of Xavier's DNA and uses it to replicate Xavier's Psychic Powers, so that he can take control of the MRD, U-Men and the Purifiers, Bastion has him kidnap mutants and [[PlayingWithSyringes subject them to dangerous and potentially lethal experiments]] in order to harvest more mutant powers. Bastion then orders Reyes to cause further tension between humans and mutants in San Francisco by launching an attack on a rally which was supposed to promote peace between humans and mutants, and [[FalseFlagOperation framing Magneto]].

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Bastion]] is a robot who was created to defend humanity against mutants, but [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming grew beyond his programming]] and [[AIIsACrapshoot became a threat to all of humanity]]. Bastion is seemingly killed in a battle that also leaves [[spoiler:Professor Xavier]] dead, but survives, uploading his program into an orbiting satellite. Bastion makes contact with Luis Reyes, the head of the Mutant Response Division, and devises a plan to TakeOverTheWorld. Reyes obtains a sample of Xavier's DNA and uses it to replicate Xavier's PsychicPowers. With these new powers and under Bastion's direction, Reyes takes controls of the [[VillainTeamUp MRD, U-Men and the Purifiers]]. Bastion and Reyes uses these groups to kidnap mutants and subject them to dangerous and potentially lethal expedients, in order to harvest more mutant powers for their personal uses. Bastion and Reyes also cause further tension between humans and mutants in San Francisco. Reyes holds a rally to promote peace between humans and mutants, but also [[FalseFlagOperation launches an attack on this rally]] (which kills the mayor and several civilians) and [[FrameUp frames Magneto]] for it. Bastion also kills Pixie, [[WouldHurtAChild one of the youngest X-Men]], and frames Cyclops for it, just to increase tensions between the X-Men and the Brotherhood. Bastion's ultimate plan to use a combination of Xavier's powers and his own {{Technopath}}y to take control of the world's technology and transform all of humanity into his mindless slaves. Reyes thinks Bastion respects him and sees him as an equal, but Bastion takes over his mind [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness when he no longer needs him]].

** In addition to reprising his ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'' role as Cyclops, Creator/NolanNorth also voiced Adrian's father. Adrian's voice actor, Creator/ScottPorter, would voice Cyclops himself in the ''Anime/{{Wolverine}}'' and ''Anime/XMen'', anime and ''VideoGame/MarvelHeroes''.

* CatharsisFactor: Activating the Critical Mass ability and basically going [[XMenRoguesGalleryAToL Exodus]] on hordes of mooks can be very satisfying indeed, especially when the move is fully upgraded and you can even float in front of the bosses completely invulnerable to their attacks and watch as their health slowly whittles down.

* ThatOneBoss: The Sentinel can be this for new players, as it's perhaps the one boss in this game that can truly be said to be a challenge. Of course once you get the hang of it's patterns it's as easy to beat as the others, but since it has a lot more patterns and its attacks are more powerful than anything else the game throws at you, this can be a bit of a chore at first.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Not helped by the game's TroubledProduction.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Depending on which character you choose, the remaining other two possible player characters become this, since they then go on to not appear after the mess, when they could've easily fitted into being a possible rival or ally. In a more straightforward example, Pixie. Essentially the X-Men's latest BreakoutCharacter, Pixie's power is important to the story itself, with her being [[spoiler: killed off mid-way through the plot]].
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: If you're going to fight alongside established X-Men as a newcomer, why didn't they just allow you to create your own unique character? The multiple backgrounds for the new characters would have been nice origin stories. Not helped by the fact when the game was first announced some fans thought this was the route the game would go.

* TheyJustDidntCare: It's been reported that Creator/SiliconKnights, or at least its higher ups, really didn't care about this project ''at all'', as to them, it was just a way to get funds as over 1/3 of the staff worked on a demo of Eternal Darkness 2. It was only released because {{Creator/Activision}} forced them to get it done.

* BrokenBase: the game itself is entirely YMMV. Its either an Ok game with some good ideas and great combat, or its a terrible game with nothing descent and repetitive combat. All agree the graphics were bad however. It appears to be more geared towards casual gamers instead of Hardcore gamers though, judging from the split of opinion itself.
* ItsShortSoItSucks: It's an RPG which can be completed in ''5 hours''.

* ReplacementScrappy: To some, the game is one for the ''XMenLegends'' games.

The multiple backgrounds for the new characters would have been nice origin stories. Not helped by the fact when the game was first announced some fans thought this was the route the game would go.

* MarySue: All three player characters qualify. In their first two days as mutants, they single-handedly take down a full sized Sentinel, a reincarnated Bastion, and a pumped up version of John Sublime. Everyone either instantly likes them for no reason or is clamoring to get them to join their side. And depending on how they are played, they can out-fight bruisers like Wolverine, strategize as equals with Magneto and Cyclops, and literally take out hundereds of bad guys in minutes. All of this as a mutant with zero training and experience. Thought if you chose the Shadow Matter or the Mass powers, then it ''may'' be understandable as to why they all want you, but if its just the energy power, well, not really since they already have like, eighty mutants with that already in the world (Another possibility is that they want you for being a new mutant, and since we assume House Of M happened here then it might be that the character is the games version of the Mutant Messiah). And strategizing skill may be able to be explained away by Adrien being trained from birth to be a soldier, but the other two it doesn't make sense.
