  1. While I'm not sure of the Netflix guys reasons for cancelling, all TV MCU efforts prior to Disney Plus were orphaned by Kevin Feige at some point after the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Up to that point, they'd been given advanced information to aid their writing, and keep it canon to the movie MCU. The writers for Agents of SHIELD, for example were told Thanos was coming to Earth, but big whoop, so was everyone else. They were NOT, however, told of the outcome of the Infinity War movie, and as a result had an entirely different outcome in their show, effectively creating an alternate universe. All that to say this, Feige and Co. for some reason abandoned the TV shows and wouldn't even use their characters in movie big fight sequences. So unfortunately, they're unlikely to return. That said, Disney Plus gave us the much needed 7th season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, so miracles can happen.
  2. I'm guessing it has something to do with the game's door mechanism. I have logged out before at one zone and ended up at another, but it usually is when I log out at the Cosmic Platform, which I gather we're not permitted to reside in.
  3. Not one, no. Three, maybe four. Energy/energy blapper (with all powers set to knockdown) Dark/dark corruptor Illusion/storm controller Martial arts/Super Reflexes scrapper
  4. How would a GW2 dynamic event play out? I have never played it and have no reference point. Some of your description reminded me of the Fifth Column / Council war which played out in the streets for a short while, before the Council dominated.
  5. It may seem terribly obvious, but since you're going the route stated here, you're going to want something that plays best at the very edge of the fight, so you can see all possibilities. If you create a character that performs anywhere within the outer ring of the fight, even just halfway in, and you'll likely not see all the potentials for accomplishing your goals.
  6. Except for the boots, the pants, the belt, the shirt, the gloves, the chest emblem, the mask/glasses, the two-prong/three-prong hat, the mallet, and the color scheme...you're right! He does look a lot like your character.
  7. I suspect what Ghost was say was to add a level cap to the zone, so any higher level characters are reduced in rank as we enter. Then the suggested badge becomes more challenging for all.
  8. This thread is created for a discussion of possible future Marvel Cinematic Universe stories, themes, content, characters, etc. This is the MCU as a whole. Other threads will, of course, drill down to specific works, like the current WandaVision thread. Please remember to use the spoiler feature (eyeball in the toolbar) to hide any text related to recent Marvel releases, including news reports. I'd personally define "recent" as anything after July 2019, when Spiderman: Far From Home was released, ending Phase 3 of the MCU. If you've not seen content before August 2019, here is your warning that you may be spoiled by open discussion of earlier works. Please feel free to contribute new topics as well as answer posted ones. A question to start things off: The end of Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2 strongly implied that we're going to get Adam Warlock in the MCU. But the gem to which he's famously connected is no more (supposedly). How do you think they'll deal with this apparent discrepancy?
  9. I am not familiar with that terminology, though I gather you either cannot watch it, or are having trouble watching it?
  10. But I like my frying pans. Top of the line cast iron. Seasoned often. With lard even! Maybe Goodwill has some I can buy on the cheap. Any move? That's more than a little cheat. That's a whole lotta cheat. I could see its moves being ranked in class and a set of the lowest powered moves being available to it at 1 tick of the endurance. That's a little cheat. But if any move is available, why even bother to have an endurance meter?
  11. How's this? Stop me if you've heard it: we get a mission to rescue a pair of plumber brothers, Marinara and Linguini. They've been attacked by giant mushrooms from the Banished Panthenon, and... oh. really? how old?
  12. Thoughts:
  13. A giant cephalopod threatening a cargo ship, a helicopter, and their related crews...it's the simple things in life that make it special. *props feet up* Pass the popcorn please.
  14. It's my 30-year-old everything that I miss. 😏 Thank you for that! I'll dig into it. An excellent point, and I'd forgotten to take into account that I'd recently replaced my 12-year-old monitor. So this new one may already have some protection.
  15. The original development team put an extensive sewer network in place, connecting it to many of the city zones, intended as something of a challenge path between zones, but I rarely, if ever hear of sweeper teams moving through the area, like we used to have in the early years. Similar to the discussion we're having regarding the Hazard Zones, what might your ideas be for invigorating interest in traveling the sewer network? As before, I'm hoping for brainstorming ideas, which means we're looking for reasonable creativity, rather than 100% feasibility right now.
  16. That's the one! Thanks! Guess the fault was mine. I was sure it had been labeled "boom".
  17. I was chuckling again this morning over the old CoH "bomp bomp" video posted 14 years ago by oODarkAphroditeOo and decided to go looking for the CoH "Boom" video of a similar age. That's Boom by POD. I found one uploaded by Christopher Taylor 7 years ago, but that one focuses on two characters of similar appearance, and the one I am thinking of showed several characters, and highlighted their colorful and hard-hitting powers. Does anyone else remember that video and know where to find it? A couple of search engines failed to dig it up, but they were heavily geared to YouTube. It might be tied to another video service.
  18. Point to you. 🤣 And I did say I didn't want amber, so that takes care of gold side.lol
  19. Anyone use blue blocker glasses while playing CoH? I have good eyesight, and want to keep it that way, but work and play keeps me in front of the screens constantly. Any suggestions on a good pair to acquire, or a bad brand to avoid? I'd prefer something a tad stylish, and I don't think HRG look good on me (horn-rimmed glasses). Unfortunately they seem to be the dominant model. I am also preferring a clear lense to an amber one.
  20. Personal preference: not capping the level. Why? We have a ton of that already, and so few opportunities, as a result, to unleash our hard-won Incarnate-level strength. I do like going back and doing the old story lines, and I get why they are level capped. But if I could unleash my full level 50 strength on a street group of 20 Skulls at equal strength to me, with bosses at level 53, then whip out the Incarnate set...that's fun. That said, capping the level is good brainstorming, and I'll not fuss about it if it happens. It definitely would make a difference in Perez Park, for example. Hmm....maybe raising their range of vision some, too? That way nearby mobs might run in to assist, adding to the potential to be suddenly overwhelmed.
  21. So, death by a thousand cuts?
  22. Yeah, what I post is an amalgam of my ideas and that of others, and any theory I post may be 100% wrong, yet, frankly, I won't care. It's hard to see clearly, and that's fun. The writers have done an amazing job turning this show into a glorious onion, with layers and layers of possibilities.
  23. The "It's a small world after all" syndrome, as I like to call it. Yeah, Hollywood is bad about that. You make a very good point. Mando may be in the fringes of the galaxy, but that's still huge. And in Star Wars, you have entire planets that are one big city, dozens of stories high. That's a lot of people.
  24. Returned to the game after a 2 month hiatus playing No Man's Sky. Kept having trouble with the controls in caves because muscle memory was still tuned to the my control setup in the other game. I'm sure I left a lot of facial skin on some cave walls.
