Aye, bit I never claimed we dud. It's still silly. And, as I said, the main issue, if that's your intro, the follow up better be something even more extreme And, no, fighting any of the Dead Three at the end would not impress me or qualify (not that they care).
So your beef is that since we are watching Spiderman fight Doc Ok in the intro, we better be fighting The Beyonder in our character's finale.
It's more that if unbitten Peter Parker fights Doc Ok in the intro, there is little place to go once he is bitten.
Of course, intro COULD be revised for 1.0. In EA one can kill cambion without much effort. Sure, it is because he attacks mindflayer exclusively, but them not being a threat to the player is a problem. If player had to avoid getting in contact with them - that would be another matter. I have pointed it before, but cinematics really don't help. They present mindflayer as your equal with goofy tentacles, and not as a threat.
