1* AntiClimaxBoss:
2** Apocalypse is hyped up as an invincible foe who the Avengers can barely even hope to stub the toe of, a foe so dramatic that it requires the Avengers to form a HumongousMecha Iron Man suit. One single blast and Apocalypse falls over like a chump and dies. Even the Avengers seem unimpressed.
3-->"I never would've expected to beat Apocalypse so easily!"
4** The Hulk is defeated by a single [[spoiler: smack in the face by {{Mjolnir}}]].
5** Though he put up a decent fight (he was curb-stomping all of the X-Men single-handedly), Namor was swiftly sent flying Team Rocket-style by Ben Grimm.
6* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Black Widow kissing Bruce Banner after hitting him with a tranquilizing spike. It contributed nothing to the plot, is never mentioned again, and ultimately didn't matter as any CharacterDevelopment it might've given Black Widow is rendered diddly-squat due to the character's death a few pages later.
7* BizarroEpisode:
8** The ''Punisher'' one-shot features a discipline-obsessed principal-turned-vigilante spanking criminals into submission. While the villain talks about a plot to take control of the rampaging Hulk mentioned in the other stories, that plan never actually happens, and the Punisher is never seen again.
9** The ''Ghost Riders'' one-shot is mostly a story about supernatural sibling rivalry. While the Hulk appears briefly towards the end, none of the events of the story affect the larger arc.
10* CompleteMonster (''New Dawn'' & ''Eternity Twilight''): [[EvilSorcerer Baron Strucker]], the head of [[Characters/MarvelComicsHydra Hydra]], doubles as the [[PsychoSupporter loyal servant]] of the outer god Dormammu. Strucker's first attempt in handing Dormammu the Earth on a silver platter ended up cutting power across the globe, leading to an event known as the Blackout War that cost thousands of lives. After the planet recovers, Strucker [[TreacherousAdvisor plays the part of an ally]] to Namor the Sub-Mariner and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates him]] into spurring a brutal attack on humanity, and spitefully murders their mutual ally Attuma when Namor's back is turned. When Strucker is finally successful in summoning Dormammu, he eagerly sacrifices all of Hydra's minions to whet the dark god's bloodthirst.
11* EnsembleDarkhorse: Pretty much the only thing anybody remembers and even likes about this experiment is its take on ComicBook/SpiderMan, and even then Marvel seems content on limiting his gimmick as "Spider-Man as a ninja" rather than "Spider-Man if he was {{Animesque}}".
12* HilariousInHindsight:
13** Compare ''New Mangaverse'' to ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'', really.
14** Bruce Banner hooking up with Tony Stark's sister Toni, given their bromance in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
15** Similarly, his kiss with Black Widow given their actual romance in the MCU.
16** Carol Danvers becoming the Mangaverse's [[spoiler:successor to Captain America]], since the mainstream version later became Earth 616's successor to Captain Marvel.
17* ShallowParody: One of the more consistent critiques of the whole endeavor was that a lot of writers didn't actually seem all that knowledgeable about manga, which made it come across as less "what if Marvel heroes were conceived of in the manga industry and used manga-esque story tropes?" and more "what if Marvel heroes had a few stereotypical Japanese elements added?"
18* SoBadItsGood: While in general the series is seen as SoOkayItsAverage if not worse, the series is often mocked by certain parts of the fanbase.
19** ComicBook/XMenPhoenixLegacyOfFire: The nonsensical plot, the female characters' incredibly [[WalkingSwimsuitScene limited]] [[VaporWear wardrobe]], the multiple out-of-place [[HotSpringsEpisode hot-springs scenes]], the obvious CG; in short, there's a lot to laugh at for such a [[CutShort short series]].
20** The ''Ghost Riders'' one-shot, mostly due its horrible blending of 2D characters and beginner-level CG backgrounds, as well as its out-there tone, among other things. [[ParodyRetcon Some have argued]] that the comic may in fact fall under PoesLaw, and that the "unintended comedy" was intentional, and the "ironic" appreciation was actually the intended response.[[note]]Then again, it ''is'' written by [[TrollingCreator Chuck Austen]]...[[/note]]
21* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus on the Ben Dunn penned series. While the art is nice and the reimagined characters are interesting, the plot that surrounds them is very cookie-cutter, and due to the large number of characters, none of them are given enough time to develop.
