Same with the villains, it's a game where they want you to fight bosses again and again like dungeons in WoW or rifts in Diablo, soooo they have Taskmaster and Abomination and some big boring robots and call it good? Why not have the Wrecking Crew, Crossbones and some lower level tech villains as mooks that show up occasionally. Or some mini MODOK clones to reuse some of those animations, etc?

There's dozens of different MODO[X], including ones created from clones of various heroes. AIM also had a PMC that dosed the soldiers with gamma rays which caused them to Hulk out (see: reusable animation).

There's plenty of options to mix things up, but I don't think they're interested in doing that.

I’m sure they just expected to be Destiny: Marvel Edition. Except they don’t seem to want to invest resources into fixing it like Bungie did.

You mean fixing it a year later and charging for the privilege to play the 'fixed' product, which manages to last a season and a half before they start loving things up again?

Worked for Bungie.

Avengers released last Autumn, which means that we're in the middle of the games Curse of Osiris, aka the lowest watermark in the franchise.

IDK, they might be following the Bungie model after all.

Good news, everyone! When people responded to the the new XP system with "WTF, this grind is ridiculous!", the Devs were listening!

it's not to late to add one more character who is a regular person without any super powers

In fact, why not take away a leg just to show how badass he is?
