    So what exactly is the hook with Marvel Heroes anyway? From what I've seen, it looks and seems to play like Ultimate Alliance?

    Not saying that's a bad thing, but is that basically it?

    It's basically Diablo.

    Promo art of Cap in Civil War dropped, it is basically the same suit from AoU (which is good because it is his best outfit) with some of the red removed, most notably around the chest star

    This is good

    The AoU costume is my favorite so far, but it could probably stand to be simplified just a little bit, so removing some of the red is a good call

    Cap needs to be red white and blue

    I will grudgingly accept that, as a full package, his AoU costume is his best

    But what I really want is for them to go back to his Avengers costume and tweak that and fix the helmet

    I mean they didn't remove all of the red

    Hey
    are the Guardians going to show up in Infinity War?

    there is about a 100% chance they'll show up in either part one or part two

    I'd wager most characters they've introduced find their way in there at some point

    AoU spoilers
    I'm hoping pretty hard that Wanda gets her hands on a gem at some point and brings my boy Pietro back
    I hope this doesn't happen
    and I love Pietro

    Dude should stay dead

    These movies need to have some kind of stakes and every major non-villain death has been either reversed or revealed to be a lie

    Like, I actually do agree with you there.
    I'm just really annoyed that they finally introduced a character that I really like, and then pretty much immediately killed him. As I said over in the movie thread, I would have been happy with nearly anybody else dying there.

    I was really hoping that Banner was going to be the character to die. It would have fit pretty well with his arc.

    Although obviously I wanted Iron Man dead the most, I just knew that wasn't going to happen.

    Marvel Heroes seems fun. Unlocking new heroes seems confusing though.

    Can you friend people in this? I'm going by my usual name.

    Not playing right this second as we are watching Flash but will be on later.

    Was it already discussed that Joss Whedon went into some detail of his conflicts with Marvel?

    The article is a little vague about it to avoid too many spoilers, actual Ultron spoilers here
    Apparently Marvel forced the "Thor's vision quest" plot into the movie to set up future films against Joss Whedon's wishes

    When Whedon pushed back against including that plot for both time and coherence, Marvel threatened to cut the entire Barton family thread, as well as all of the Scarlet Witch-induced dream sequences that Whedon was particularly fond of, forcibly making time and room for the Thor stuff

    You can unlock them either with Eternity Splinters, a free currency that drops every now and then, or with real money

    However, there are also a whole bunch of free heroes you can play up to level 10 right off the bat, after which you can pick one of them to unlock fully

    So
    instead we get a plot point that pretty much everyone agrees felt really half-assed and rushed, not to mention confusing as to why it was even there.

    Vivixenne wrote: »
    I love Pietro as well but I really don't want the MCU to become 616, where people die but not really or die really but come back some other way. I mean, the comics wanna maintain names and titles and headliners; that's fine, I get that, and I accept it as part of comic books in general. I don't think it's necessary for the MCU.

    If he does come back somehow, it could be as a resurrection-gone-wrong and he turns out to be a villain or something and ends up dead again. Which is only slightly less lame than him coming back whole.
    Dedwrekka wrote: »
    I think the problem isn't that resurrection inherently devalues their death, it's that the method of resurrection is treated as having little to no cost. Like I know some people dislike Wanda for House of M, but that was some serious shit to bring some people back and had long term consequences. Compare it to the end of Godbomb where they make a joke about that being the ninth time Thor had died that he could remember, and his death is quite literally hand waved away by King Thor.

    Although obviously I wanted Iron Man dead the most, I just knew that wasn't going to happen.

    My thoughts on all this:
    I'd be down with a scene where she gets ahold of the Aether and goes a little crazy. She brings Pietro back, but that's not good enough and she wants to do a lot more. Pietro is there with her, but ends up convincing her to not only not destroy stuff, but to also let him stay dead.

    That way we get Pietro back, we get a great scene between the two characters, and I don't feel like it devalues death or anything because it's an epic cosmic macguffin being used to accomplish it. I feel like you can do that with enough gravity that it's clearly a very big fucking deal and not just "oh yeah we'll bring him back nbd."

    Yeah, you can have every character unlocked and switch to them more or less on command, so you can take your time and focus on one character

    I have an honest-to-god spreadsheet keeping track on which characters I have unlocked on each of my 4 Marvel Heroes accounts

    One account has Jean Grey, Punisher, and Star-Lord

    another has Black Panther, Hawkeye, Rocket Raccoon, and Silver Surfer

    another has Daredevil, Iron Man, and Scarlet Witch

    and the last one has Black Widow, Captain America, and Taskmaster

    When I started playing they were doing this big buy one get one and I think even discounting how much their funbux cost, so I went to town and unlocked ALL OF THE SUPERHEROES

    So is it possible to access all characters via playing the game? Or will dollars eventually need dropping?

    I ask because I always play as ladies in all games where that is an option and I would like to unlock all the ladies.

    Secret Wars #1 was really good and exactly what you would expect a proper end of days for the Marvel/Ultimate Universe would be
    My favorite bit was Fisk, Osborn, Bullseye, etc. all hanging out at a bar and watching the heroes get their asses kicked as the world ends

    Then Punisher walks in

    Also the heroes that survive in the life raft and assumedly remember the proper reality outside of Battleworld are:
    Spider-Man
    Star-Lord
    Captain Marvel
    Reed Richards
    Black Panther
    Thor
    And Cyclops who is once again The Phoenix

    Well the plot point we got wasn't actually half assed or rushed either, the hilarious thing is, that plot point that they wanted to badly was edited down and cut all to hell so they didn't even let him include all of it. What was supposed to happen is...
    Thor goes to that spring and enters it to get possessed by a Norn, a sort of Norse version of the Fates from Greek Mythology. They govern the destinies of men. Selvig was there to question the Norn that was going to possess Thor.

    Ant-Man suit might become my favourite MCU costume. The colours are great, it has relatively clean and simple lines compared to some other costumes, and the helmet which often looks a little silly in the comics is really rad.

    Yellowjacket looks great, too, but I have to see some more of the costume.

    You can unlock every hero via the eternity splinters

    But it would take two or three forevers
