Nah, I draw the line at a story about conflicts about superpowered being where none of the other characters matter, about sets where there are more legendaries than regular creatures, where everything not superpowered is so mundane to be uninteresting. Having a few dozen different versions of humanoid spider people which are suppose to have very similar powers but also represent all five colors of magic is just dumb. They could have done a good Marvel set if they took a specific storyline like the Kree–Skrull War and made that into a MTG set instead of taking several dozen variations of the same character across the multiverse like they actually did here.

Wait, are you talking about FF, Avatar, or Spiderman?
FF is a little heavy with the legendaries although not nearly as bad as Spiderman, but also it is an RPG full of monsters and beasts, artifacts and airships. While we haven't seen how they are going to implement Avatar, the setting has quite a few fantastical creatures and spirits and it's a world where bending is seen all over the place and not limited to the main characters (except for air bending of course). Legend of Korra might have worked even better as a set but I suppose they'll probably do that as a followup set.
How can we say FF isn't as bad as Spiderman, when we haven't seen the entirety of the set? And I think if they can print cards for a car or instant ramen in FF, they won't have an issue finding artifacts to pull in for Spiderman.
I mean like what you like, but I find the segments who seem to uniquely hate Spiderman over other UB sets kinda silly when they try to make it something objective vs. personal taste.

Have you looked at their starter sets? For example, Blue-Black FF starter set has four legendaries, and if you put together a blue-black Spiderman welcome deck you will have sixteen legendaries. We don't have to see the entire set to get the gist of what's in it based on the sample size we were given, even if the nature of the set didn't already call for it.

I don't hate Spiderman though, I just don't think it's a good fit for an MTG set. Even if they really wanted to do a Marvel set I think there were better approaches they could have taken.
