There are some valid reasons/criticism. Like daisy-chaining them to the point where the code is hard to follow (though, sometimes that is unavoidable). Or writing if conditions within if conditions where the 2 conditions don't need to be separated. Or when a bunch of the conditions end in the same result.

But a lot of the knee-jerk responses to if-else statements being “overly used”, in my experience, is just as you said. Like, we like to think (and I certainly did) that programming is a field base off of logic and reasoning. But there's A LOT of politics to be found in it. People insisting their new way of doing things is the better way because reasons, or they want clout, or they want to sell you something. Like, this is why they tried to embed blockchain and crypto into “web 3.0”. (which, again, is a marketing term. There's no technology that enhances/changes the fundamental way we're to view HTML and run HTTP defined “web 3.0”) This is why I picked up on that post so quickly. A lot of people like to pretend they know coding on the internet for some reason but don't (Like, look at Elon Musk). And they tend to make statements like that that makes them stick out like a sour thumb.


My last point/tangent, so I don't keep going off-topic. I once watched a video on someone trying to push that object-oriented programming is bad and how we should all stick to naming/bundling all functions like:
class1_run();
class2_run();
And so many comments were like, “This is GENIUS!” And I had to go like, “Uhhh, no. We've tried this. People used to do this prior to OOP. It was bad. It was awful. This is why we invented OOP.”
I think it's only reasonable to criticize the code that a programmer does if you can prove you can do better, so I agree with your point.

But, like, aren't most X-men just teenagers? I mean, yeah, Storm and Cyclops and Wolverine have been training for ages. But like, the school is named "Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters." Doesn't that preclude that some of the X-men aren't fighting fit because, you know, they were just some kid prior to getting mutant powers?
(Not a rhetorical question. I am legitimately asking.)
Even in the show most of those teens are still training maybe not as much as the older ones.

Amazing game, there are quite a bit of "tracebacks" sprinkled throughout the game but nothing that crashes the game. That new squirrel girl, so good. I do love variation and hope we get more animations with her and some of her glitches fixed(ie for some reason her panties always go back in some scenes). I'm not trying to defend or "promote" overweight people but she really looks good lol.

Dialog in the opening makes it clear the Institute has been renamed and expanded into a full-on University. The girls are probably now all college aged.

"Should we put more clothing options for the current girls to diversify the gameplay even a little with minimal coding requirement? You know to make it more fun and apparent as they get more and more under the influence of the main character?"
"Nah, Squirrel Girl."
