YMMV / LEGO Marvel's Avengers

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: Marvel's Avengers sticks more closely to the movies than the comics, though there are plenty of unlockable characters who never appeared in the movies.
  • Ascended Meme: Among the many, many vehicles is the legendarily silly monogrammed yellow "Thanoscopter" from Spidey Super Stories #39.
  • Awesome Music: The music that plays during the third part of Lack Of Insight (AKA: The Captain America: The Winter Soldier Level).
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The various "Hulk Selfies" sidequests become funnier now that Avengers: Endgame has a scene where a group of children approach the Hulk for a picture.
  • Ho Yay: Hulk doesn't roar Iron Man awake in Lego Avengers, he gives him mouth-to-mouth. Cap's face when Tony says "please tell me nobody kissed me" says it all.
  • Questionable Casting: Mark Hamill as Arnim Zola. While his performance certainly works well as the classic Zola with robot body, he sounds nothing like Tobey Jones and comes across as severe Vocal Dissonance for the MCU Zola.
  • Salvaged Story: While it does have shippers, many believed the Black Widow/Bruce Banner romance was out of nowhere with no build-up at all. In LEGO Avengers, certain cutscenes from the first Avengers movie are changed slightly to include subtle build-up to this relationship (Natasha flirting with Bruce to get him to join, Natasha kissing him on the cheek and him blushing after Loki's defeat and Hulk offering her a cupcake during the shawarma scene) so it doesn't feel as forced.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Marvel's Avengers gets some flak due to being scaled back in terms of cast and variety when compared to its predecessor, Marvel Super Heroes. Namely, a number of characters who appear in the latter game do not appear in the former due to not having appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet, and several of those that haven't appeared are being Exiled from Continuity due to issues over the film rights. It's been argued that they should have just made a direct sequel to Super Heroes right away instead of making a tie-in to The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
  • Unintentional Uncanny Valley: Vision's face, given it's way more detailed than the other characters, which makes it more than a little creepy.
  • Win Back the Crowd: Marvel's Avengers being based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the level of characters and events in the previous game was seen as limiting, but as the scale of characters, both well-known and obscure, and the number of locations were shown, people have gotten warmer toward the game.
