The repetitious nature of the deaths, however, are not. I mean, seriously: 3 neck injuries in a row? All sudden instant-deaths? All done primarily to evoke shock and surprise? 3 of the 4 all with the Red Background/Silhouette mode? 3 of the 4 have health bars up? It\'s almost a rout formula at this point, saping it of the majority of its potential drama.

In this specific case, I see a villain being over hyped both in universe and out that does not actually match up with what is shown. The game is so incompetently set up to the point where it ruins his credibility (his interference fights against most of the possible reasons and goals he could go for), the cast was fearful of Arcade even before the game started (and were called \

The game is so incompetently set up to the point where it ruins his credibility (his interference fights against most of the possible reasons and goals he could go for), the cast was fearful of Arcade even before the game started (and were called \\\"Smart\\\" for doing so even though the art indicates that if they did all rush him, they would have actually succeeded: Hazmat\\\'s second blast took him to his knees and no one acted on it in the followup), characters who do not toe the line or suck up to him are beaten by the Narrative (Hazmat, for example, compared to the more contrite Cullen Bloodstone), and his focus issue? Yeah, that really pushed it over the edge with the backtracking of Constrictor and using him as a strawman bully of all Arcade\\\'s detractors. It\\\'s like Hopeless is actively working to undo all the character development Christos Gage had done since Avengers: The Initiative.

That\\\'s what I see it. You disagree. And that\\\'s okay.

I disagree with some tropes that appear on the page too: \\\"TookALevelInBadass\\\" for instance. But then again, I define BadAss differently from most (Badass not equated to raw power). But I can see why people see that trope in there. So I leave it alone.

Can you see why I see what I see?

Admittedly, some of them are nit picks. I mean, in the mosts recent issue, the use of EMP and it having no real effect on Arcade\'s nanites bugs the crap out of me, but I recognize that it\'s a minor complaint.
