One of the problems thatMutliVersushad was an inescapable ‘ick’ factor.

It wasn’t something you ever felt withSmash Bros., the game it was clearly trying to be.

But it made sense.

Arc Raiders - fighting a bastion, a large four-legged robot.

That wasn’t the case with MultiVersus.

In some ways,this could not be helped.

MultiVersus was a new series, Smash was established.

Nikki’s outfit transforming in a field at dusk.

By even existing, MultiVersus was a knock-off.

But in other ways, it could have been helped.

This approach put a lot of pressure on MultiVersus.

The Sea of Stars lighthouse.

Joker, a classic and popular character, was scorned for being predictable.

Banana Guard, a wildcard novelty, was derided for taking up a slot.

The inclusion of LeBron James, an obviously ridiculous attempt to promote Space Jam, did not help matters.

And as a result, it never quite lost the ‘ick’.

Thats not to mention Black Adam.

When Agent Smith from The Matrix was added, I grew more conflicted.

Agent Smith is cool.

I like The Matrix.Punching people as Agent Smith is cool.

It was a little like when I first sawthat picture of Mr Chedda.

Samurai Jack and Beetlejuice in MultiVersus Season 2.

‘, because in a way, my answer was ‘nobody, I hope it fails’.

To delve into the depths of DC and regret that we never got Starfire.

MultiVersus, you will never be Mr Chedda.

It’s a feeling MultiVersus just can’t shake.

As a result, it was always racing towards this inevitable end.

To have gotten there without Daffy feels emblematic of its failure to meet fans halfway.

PC-1

If it had, it may have overcome the ick factor that plagued its existence.
