The 90s Dads had good taste then, Spawn might as well be a Mortal Kombat character he fits in so well.

Disagree
The people that make these games are from the 60s and 70s... the original die hard fans are all form the 80s and early 90s... so if 90s and under nostalgia turns you off... your playing the wrong game.
I think you're mistaking baby boomers for Generation X.
Oh not at all! It's just that Spawn is nothing more than an edgy boii. I think there are better characters from the 90s.
Not a big Spawn fan myself, but you gotta remember... Spawn was basically only a little less popular than the ninja turtles in the 90s. The entire comic label IMAGE was launched off that titles alone. Cartoons, Movies, the most popular US comic of the decade. It was a cultural phenomenon.
You gotta let that go. Language is fluid.. meanings change. When some stupid kid says "shut up boomer" they do not mean someone born in the 50s. It is simply not what the slang means.
Was Spawn really that popular? Maybe I was just too young for it, but I mostly remember ninja turtles, X-Men, Ghostbusters, Transformers, Spider-man, and Batman as the big characters. Power rangers came along too. Spawn was present, but I don't remember much merch or media around spawn, outside of the movie and I assume the comic books.
I mean Todd McFarlane toy company(which is his primary business these days) came out of Spawn, if I recall. Since then, they've done figures for all sorts of IPs.
That's what I'm getting at.
True, and I know contesting it is a loosing battle, but if you look at how the term "Okay boomer" came about, the irony is the younger generation using it as they do now proves the criticism against them correct.
While he wasn't up to the level of Spider-Man or Batman, he was absolutely very popular.
I know what a baby boomer is, and I know that they’re all most likely too old to be playing these games at this point. I’m calling Robocop and Rambo (don’t get me wrong I like those movies!) boomer characters because they’re nostalgia bait and not all that relevant today, as opposed to cooler more relevant guest characters like Predator or Spawn.
Fair enough. My dad, for example, is a boomer.
First party characters, either from Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo, should not be used since they likely wouldn't appear on all platforms.
I'm old and I still play these games all the time and are active in the FGC online and offline, and active in various FGC online communities (like this one). A lot of my mates that play are in the same age group. There are a ton of people on this very forum that played MK1 in the arcade in the 90s. TOs and stuff played in locals and build events like Evo and ComboBreaker decades ago.
That’s fair, Rambo was a poor example. And I didn’t mean that to insult you or guys in your age group, my main hobby irl is mostly guys bare minimum 10 years older than me.
