I use boosts maybe once every few months to compensate for poorly-covered 4* DDQ challenges (like level 131 Quake vs. Invisible Woman -- still didn't help). I probably even need extra because I can never remember to remove them afterwards and wind up inadvertently clearing out my inventory playing trivial nodes.But they do suck compared to even paltry amounts of ISO.

Zemo was responsible for killing T'challa's father. He's been wanting to kill the person responsible since early in the film (initially thinking that was Bucky). Bucky on the other hand is trying to get away from his brainwashed assassin past and wants nothing of killing and fighting (hence he's hiding out doing nothing at the beginning). Someone giving up avenging their father is a huge character swing vs going back to doing what you were doing at the beginning of the film...[/spoiler]

He and Spidey were more memorable in that movie than most of the established MCU characters outside IM, CAP, WS, Falcon, & BW.I'm super hyped for the movie, hearing a lot of good things!

Anyway, on topic: the new 4*BP seems fine to me. The only thing I can remark about is the artwork and that he is really, REALLY purple... my poor eyes can hardly take it. I'll go and give them some rest now...

I quite like BP mostly because of playing this game, not much of a reason maybe but there you have it. The thing I had the most problems with in the Civil War movie was this, and maybe it is something I never understood correctly so anyone feel free to enlighten me:The way I saw it, in the beginning there is a huge point made that super heroes can't just act based on their personal feelings when intervening in the world according to IM, where Cap thinks that this is the better way of doing things as otherwise things would take way too long after 'deciding by comittee' what to do. BP is in Tony's team so he thinks that you can't just fly off the handle when something happens, right?After BP's father gets killed in the movie about the first thing he does is start a wild hunt for the Winter Soldier, without ever getting any indication this is decided from higher up. Now i can undersand you would do this if your father gets killed, but isn't this basically donig what Cap is all for and Tony is against?As I said, I might very well be misinterpreting things, but that is how I understood it, that BP is more acting on emotion than any kind of instruction/permission from anyone
SpringSoldier said: I'm a bit disappointed we got another version of BP, instead of one of the other characters that weren't in the game: Killmonger, Shuri or a combined Dora Milaje character. About Civil War: I think CinemaSins explained it best: most of the characters have no clear reason to choose one side over the other, but they had to distribute them to make the fight more fair. Black Panther is basically on the against-Bucky-side regardless of the politics.

I think he was talking about the special boosts for release events that only apply to the new character and aren't usable shortly after they character is released.

[/spoiler] At any rate, that's the movie we got, so my opinions don't really matter and if y'all like it, I don't want to take that away from you. I hope Black Panther the movie and Black Panther the 4* character turn out to be awesome just the same.
