    So.....how does Galactus fit into a Defeders-themed week?

    I mean yay for cake boss event but its a bit stretchy.

    Totally shoulda been Return of Boss Rush.


    A bit stretchy? It's literally the only boss event that makes even a little sense.

    The original comic Defenders were Doctor Strange, Hulk (both acknowledged in the 3* boost list), Namor, and as of Defenders #2, the Silver Surfer.

    Linking Galactus to Surfer is the only possible boss tie-in they could have done without needing an entirely new event.

    They already have one dud in 4 star elektra, so they gave us another with a 3 star re skinned near copy.

    This is like the ultimate in lazy from a game whose primary focus is pimping out new character releases. 

    Could have at least done a civil war rerun to make it a little more interesting.

    How will these four events impact the start of the next season? 
    My reading of the initial post makes it sound like the first two are offseason events and the second pair are the first two versus events of the new season.

    Does Elektra really have enough arc & depth for a fully realized variant? No
     and to give her the EXACT SAME POWERS!!! wttk devs that is some lazy summer work. 
    They could have kept the power set and called it Karnak and people would have been stoked.
    Yondu's black could have been switched with the steal-y strike power and both kits would have been better.
    They could have spent some time making Mockingbird actually relevant and given some of her meh to Elektra at this tier. 

    When you push so hard to keep up with this release schedule you end up with the kitty to the tee-eye-in-e-why?

    Patch PvP before that (when 4*Thor was new) was Cage Match

    More variants when there's one key member missing from the thing you are trying to promote is just stupid.

    I have two possible explanations. Either Jessica Jones is "too adult", like previously proposed, or the devs have locked plans for a later release of Jessica. 

    It definitely is a bummer though.

    Is Last Defender 4* Iron Fist?

    Bullseye was in the second season of Daredevil as that reocurring nameless assassin

    I didn't know this either until I read the cast listing. I'm sure most people didn't realize either

    Elektra is at the bottom of my fully covered 4*s to champ.  Even after the rework, she's still so meh.  Daredevil is too to be honest with you (like both of their characters on the show, just not excited at ALL for the revamps of the same characters).

    I was also really looking forward to Jessica Jones.  

    Oh and this game and (or at least the) forum should be age-capped, so we don't have to speak like kindergarten school teachers.

    Yeay for a new 3*, they are realistic easier to build than a 4*!

    But "Boo" because it seems a "lazy" version... it would be so hard to just copy one power, and create something new for the other two?

    Most of us guessed Elektra and Daredevil for this release. All the JJ people were just wishfully hoping...no different than the many of us patiently waiting for some new Mutants to grace the game. I don't think I saw one single person guess a 3* though!

    Dude was also in the first season.



    That episode with Daredevil and the Russian in the building...and a sniper on the roof?
