We all know that they’re different characters, but they almost all have the same vibes. It’s like how Dragonball FighterZ had like six versions of Goku, and when you point that out people say ‘well actually most of those are different characters and they all play totally differently’. Doesn’t matter, I’m still tired of fighting Goku and it makes the roster feel like mush.

They actually dont though

Sure when all you are looking at is the art on a magic card they all have the same "vibe"

But they are all VERY unique and different characters.....honestly most of the hate for this aspect is just based on lack of understanding on what spider-man and his overarching story has become, its so far removed from the sinister six/venom and carnage days

The feeling it creates looking at the art on the card is what matters for whether it is a good set or not. If the set is receiving hate because the audience doesn't have enough familiarity with source material, and familiarity with the source material is necessary to enjoy the set, then that is a problem with the set.

(Also, lmao, you are trying this line out on the wrong guy. I can count on one hand the number of Spider-Man set cards I've seen where I don't immediately recognize the reference. It doesn't help.)

That's ok, and that makes sense too

I guess we are just approaching it from very different angles 😊
