#I just finished the Kate dlc and am starting on Clint's so hopefully Kate continues showing up a lot

I've been playing Marvel's Avengers nonstop the past week or so (I remembered that public libraries stock video games and mine had a copy for a console I own helllllll yeaaaaaah), and I'm really, really loving the plot and character writing. Getting to see Kamala be the protagonist of a triple A game and watching her go from a scared 11 year old who just got powers to a teen hero who inspires the people she looks up to has been a delight. Every time there's a call back to the "Good isn't a thing you are, it's a thing you do" quote I clutch my heart like a Victorian who's about to faint from overwhelming emotions.

The Kate DLC (as well as the other ones) is free so thankfully I get to play that too. And my GOD I love their depiction of Kate. She is ridiculously hyper-competent in a way that's an utter delight to watch in cutscenes, she's funny, and the teasing sibling-esque banter she has with Tony of all people is really fun.

The mechanics of the game are serviceable, but I have a lot of minor complaints and pet peeves. The load times are horrendous, the non-plot relevant missions are repetitive, you need an internet connection and Square Enix account to play, and there's an absurd number of cosmetic items available via microtransactions, just to name a few.

I'd definitely recommend watching a Let's Play of the main campaign (especially if you like Kamala, Bruce, Tony, or Nat as they're the one's who get the most screentime) and dlcs. Personally I won't be buying the game, but I am glad I've had the chance to play and if they announce any future dlcs with other characters I love I'll definitely be borrowing the game from the library again

I don't have a way to stream or save videos longer than 30 seconds so I can't post my own videos of full cut scenes, but hopefully I can post some short videos, gifs, and screenshots of Kate
