About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a 1990s-set Marvel origin with big powers, humor, and space conflict, similar to Wonder Woman or Captain America: The First Avenger; Not for you if you need tight plotting and deep character work.

Pros: 90s setting and nostalgia; fun buddy dynamic; flashy sci-fi action | Cons: uneven pacing; thin character growth; story feels messy
