Avengers for me too. Satisfying shots (some difficult), great theme integration, great looks. Color DMD is a must have on this one IMO. I've had mine since 2014 and never had an issue (after I repaired the problems caused by the original owner).

I don't have much time on Dead Pool Pro but my friend has a premium I've played a lot and I've played the pro a few times at shows. Its a fun game with good rules/objectives. Good toys and shot variety. I find some of the shots clunky and inconsistent (I know, many say the same about AVLE too). The multiball lock shot is the most frustrating, you need to hit it not too fast or too slow for it to make it through the labyrinth (this might be a premium only issue). The biggest non-starter for me is it is comic book/video game based and not movie based. This game would have been a must-have for me if Ryan Reynolds would have voiced it.

I think the clunkyness of a game varies from example to example. With tweaking, any game can shoot better and that is clearly the case for AVLE and many other recent titles like Dead Pool and Star Wars. The manufacturing variances of these hand assembled complex machines has made this a reality forever. A friend of mine loved playing my AVLE to the point they bought one of their own. Theirs played so frustrating different from mine that they sold it.
