Well, the Human Torch just became my favorite participant in this dumb Contest.
Faced with a premise that demands a pointless conflict without motivation and only the vaguest of stakes, the creators take a wise course and plot this as pure Looney Tunes farce.
It looks good, it sounds funny, and there's considerable creativity invested in the nuts and bolts of the fight.
Of course, if I were a Ghost Rider fan, I might be smarting at the way Johnny Blaze is set up as the straight man/fall guy--he's not particularly admirable or even in-character here.
But this is a dumb summer crossover that's destined to be regrettable in a whole host of ways, so who cares?
Art quibble: I see Marvel arti more

Not bad, not great either. Just felt sort of pointless, which would’ve been fine since it’s supposed to be a hero-brawl fight but they completely nerfed Ghost Rider and made him look ridiculous.
this was inoffensive, mediocre, and forgettable.
