ThaRoadWarrior said: It would be ideal if it was a mask-off version to differentiate. I still can never tell which Venom I'm up against from the character portraits.but as for Civil War - he just felt like they divided Captain America by Iron Man, and he was the remainder. He didn't really drive any of the plot, which was the struggle between Tony and Steve's ideologies, he was just this angry dude that would show up and get in the way every so often. It just so happened he had a secret country everybody could hang out in after the movie ended, otherwise you could have completely cut him out of the film.

I would love it if Gwenpool could change Black Panther to Pink Panther, TBH...

Well you could argue the same about Ant-man - sure there is the tenuous link with Falcon from his own movie but you would have thought that actually Tony was in a better position to offer him something that he could use rather than Cap.

Not really. Don't forget that Ant-Man did tell Steve Rogers : "Hank Pym always said, you can never trust a Stark". It definitely made sense to have Lang join Team Cap. At least IMHO.
bluewolf said: Lastly, re: new goons. I do wonder about design from a game standpoint. We all say "Give us new goons to fight" but I wonder what the devs can do in terms of making it different. Goons kind of largely depend on auto-generating AP and placing a CD with various effects. Mindless ones added the "place special tile up front" idea and ultron goons just do lots of tile moving and special tile spam. The point is, adding a new goon type is hard from a "what does it do to make the gameplay different?" standpoint. The basic backbone of gameplay is a puzzle game and working against the clock or losing control of the board are the two basic mechanics.Another issue with any new character in game is that the developers need to go through a long process to add them. Art is developed, and that is required to go back and forth to Marvel for approval. Powers and descriptions also need to be approved and they need to work etc.And none of that work generates direct revenue for the developers. New goons may make players a bit less annoyed with fighting the same goons over and over. But eventually we will have played them 4 or 5 times and find them less interesting again.

[spoiler]Personally I Think that Black Panther choosing to not kill Zemo at the end of the Movie (and why) was a big character moment. He was an angry dude... and then he realized where that might lead and decided to be different.[/spoiler]
