No doubt there, but I do think a good movie will bring in the people. GotG were nobodies and did great in theaters. Eternals had lots of issues, it did not. Though, going by your own comment, Winter Soldier is Bucky, so wouldn't he be an original character, since he was Captain America's sidekick?

To be fair, nothing usually does and X-Men and Avengers are usually under things like Spider-Man (Peter Parker...as honestly Miles doesn't sell that well except on issue ones) and Avenger's are usually under X-Men. If I recall correctly, even when Marvel was trying to kill the X-Men franchise because FOX owned the movie rights, they couldn't even do that. Also, Avenger's whole original gimmick was taking B, C and D listers and teaming them up.

I thought both the Captain America and the Thunderbolts trailers looked like fun movies.

Though bad press can hurt a fun movie. The Marvels was a fun movie. I'd say bad press on the part of it's lead didn't help it.

Movie may allow us to see the awesome Moon Knight a bit more, but I hate to lose out on a second season.

Agreed! And I love Gen-13! ❤️

Watching X-Men 97, Rogue made Super Strength look pretty scrappy.

😮 I know what I'm doing tomorrow! /o/

As I work on the Praetorian Challenge, I never did the Loyalist Power arcs, as I was skipping them as my first thought was staying Resistance the whole time. Now, if I had thought about it staying Praetorian for the whole time, I'd have done the arcs, but since I didn't, it would be nice to be able to go back and get them. So how about access to Ouroboros for Praetorians? They'd still be limited in what they'd be able to access, but could go back and replay those Praetorian arcs that were missed.

I didn't realize a Praetorian could do Incarnate trials! 😮

Ooooh...will have to do that for the next praetorian I make, seeing as how I was going to skip most of the loyalist side of things to see if I can get more NPCs to show up on the switch side mission.

Wow. Are you able to get to Night Ward and First Ward without choosing Red or Blue side? Or did you just run paper missions the whole time?

I've done it with Stalkers, Brutes, Tankers, Scrappers, Sentinels, Corruptor and Defender. I do prefer the melee defense sets to be honest, for soloing the Praetorian stories.

I see the potential, but so far, she's no Scarlett.

You should still go for Attack Vitals. Empowered when exempt below using Attack Vitals which you use below the more optimum BF > AS > SS > RoF (or Snipe) > Repeat

That high of a budget does work against being a hit and helps it be considered a flop. I enjoyed Yelena but I will say, I felt they had her whooping Hawkeye a little to much and I wasn't feeling he was pulling punches. And yeah, I thought that a bad example. But I hated Birds of Prey and didn't think either Suicide Squad was all that. Still watched them! And they did give us the much more fun Peacemaker.

I would never want to see Dual Pistols animations change. I like them as is!

KD can give you that breathing room you need to survive just long enough to heal up. Some enemies may not knock down as well as others tho.

I know what the OP is talking about, however, I don't know what missions allow it specifically. Some, as the star holder, I can call up the contact for the next mission, and it will auto kick people out of the current, completed mission. Other times, I have to wait till everyone is out of the mission to make the call (last ones in Synapse have this for sure).

^This right here. It was my first thought with the description given. Now, if you can't get behind playing a Mastermind, I might suggest... Dark/Time Troller. That may just help you with your squishy feeling (Time Manipulation is nice on the defense and -ToHit side of things). Fire/Dark Troller. Not as much defense but more -ToHit and you get the glowy eyes from Fade.

So a reward for actually forming one...Having star for TF at formation gives you something? The issue I see with this, is someone may form it, but then not want to pass the star to someone higher level.

I've never really had issue making a TF...SF can be a bit more difficult because some people's aversion to villain side. However, I think the real issue is there's few who want the lead position. They want others to form them.

To my knowledge it has to do with the idea that if they did, they'd do more and more dangerous stunts.

These are useful! Sometimes it seems the switch doesn't want to happen or the trays will switch but not the forms, but so useful!

Wasn't the Paragon Times the thing that gave dumb lore reasons for new power sets? Oh! Look! Aeon created the use of double blades! 😛 Instead of just accepting the meta of "It's now available and you can make heroes who use it"
