It's no secret that I don't like Marvel (under Disney) now. I believe Disney RUINED Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite from reaching whatever true potential it had. I was excited for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite only to find out that it's got a lackluster roster and no arcade endings. Sure, there was the Story Mode which doesn't have to be spectacular. However, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite ended with a bad roster presumably due to the feud with Fox. I bought Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection so I could play the classic 1990s games. Yes, the good old days and I want to replay a close-authentic arcade experience. I could finally play Marvel vs. Capcom crossover games with the full crossover.
I played Marvel Super Heroes all over again. The default difficulty made me experience arcade frustration all over again. The PSX version was slightly easier although Doctor Doom maintained his, "I'm so good at keepaway! Doo dah! Doo dah!" Doctor Doom was a real bastard due to his use of keepaway. Easy Select option allowed me to play as Doctor Doom, Thanos, and Anita. Anita used Thanos win quotes. I finished the game with everyone to get the achievement.
Doctor Doom had his REGULAR ENDING. However, Thanos' OG ending simply recycled the text from Magneto's ending. WTF?! I finished the game as Thanos hoping to get the PSX ending. I always chose the first option over the second. I wanted to portray Thanos as the madman that he is. Instead, the ending here was like WTF Capcom? I wonder if it was some kind of punishment for playing the final boss. I still wanted to see Thanos' egomaniac ending or him becoming a farmer.
Some things were done better in the console than the arcade. However, it seems Thanos' lack of popularity may have caused the broken ending to show up. I still wished he had his PSX/Sega Saturn ending -- not the broken ending!
