 Did we really NEED four C&D in game pop ups? Whi approved this nonsense?

    After receiving the free cover, I eagerly checked out all the ads and bought the comic through the Marvel App. Everybody wins.

    All those hours of clicking!!! Stop the insanity!

    It's 2 pictures, 2 text boxes; not the end of the world. I'd forgotten it was tonight so I  appreciated them.

    Dude, you had to close four boxes. It's not like they deleted your account.

    Eh. We used to sit through 30 sec to a minute ads for 250 ISO. Four pop ups that come with a free 4* is more than a fair deal.

    Ironic, considering there's already a C&D free cover thread, and posting a separate thread to complain instead of joining the relevant discussion almost constitutes spamming to begin with.

    It's only 4 clicks. Jeez. You can always quit the game if you are not happy with their marketing campaign.

    There are more ads for Cloak and Dagger than Infinity Wars in MPQ.  
    Ouch, yeah.

    Did we get any free 4* cover for IW?  Not to beat a dead horse, but did we seriously get better stuff for a teen show on a weird network, than the culmination of 10 years and almost 20 movies?

    Obviously people were already excited about Infinity War, a movie which will make over TWO BILLION DOLLARS by the end of its theatrical run alone.

    The Cloak&Dagger TV show, by comparison, needs the addidional exposure because it is merely, in your own words, "a teen show on a weird network," so it makes perfect sense.

    Because of the ads I will now be checking out a show I'd honestly forgotten was going to be airing and I also got a cover that didn't require hours of grinding.

    This seems to be the inherent problem with MPQ as of late.  The people in charge of MPQ seem to concentrate on more minor/niche characters and don't seem to care about the big blockbusters.  Yeah they released 3 new characters from infinity war but most of them are meh.  Then they release a powerful character like Okoye who I didn't even know existed until the BP movie.  MPQ didn't even do anything for deadpool 2.  Really sad.

    I won't lie, you have a convincing point there.

    BUT.

    Look at all the other properties out there.  Everyone had IW tie-ins.  Even Fortnite got a playable Thanos!  We got 3 characters that were related to the movie, but let's not kid ourselves, we were getting three characters released, regardless of a movie coming out or not, so that doesnt really count.

    IW didn't need more advertisement.  C&D does.  It's that simple.

    In addition to the new char releases, we got SUPPORTS!!!(tm) for IW.  At least 10 of them (4x black order and the 6 stones).  They gave away multiple tokens, that could draw new content, each day for a week for IW.  We got 1 card of a classic cover for C&D.

    Now, you COULD argue (and so would I) that this 1 old cover is infinitely more useful than the 10+ tokens they gave us for supports... but to say they did nothing is selective memory.

    the point of any of these special "crossovers" is to generate publicity so it's not that crazy that this is how it went. they did not need much publicity for Infinity wars but doing 4 popups made sure we all saw the less popular C&D

    They also need to build some excitement because for those of us who read and collected the OG series back when it was published, we're pretty dismayed by what we've seen has been done to these characters, their origin story, and their relationship with each other.

    I've been wanting to a screen adaptation for a long time and am not planning on watching this. Create other characters to tell this story. Don't PG-13 C&D to this level and move them away from their home ground to tell it. :(
