    MPQ release characters when the film is just out so it isn't too much of a surprise that they choose certain versions or traits that tie in to what had been shown in trailers more than what happens in the film to avoid spoilers. Another example is 5* Thor who has two eyes and is the Gladiator version as that was featured heavily pre-release.
    To be fair, at the point in the film when he had that clothing and such, he did have both eyes, and didn't lose the one until pretty late in the movie. I'm not sure I'd put that in the same category.
    And, actually, I thought that what MPQ did with Talos actually improved Captain Marvel for me, because it doubled down on my preconceptions of Skrulls from the comics. Mysterio, on the other hand, everything I know from the comics tells me he's the villain.
    That is my point - they based the MPQ character on one that is prevalent in the marketing/trailers which normally means fairly early in the movie, what happened in the movie is secondary and they don't need to worry about spoilers. Although in most cases there isn't too much to spoil.

    In terms of Captain Marvel I already knew from the comics that the Kree were the "bad guys" in terms of the Kree/Skrull War but it is still a nice twist.
    Most of my knowledge of Skrulls does admittedly come from the era when Mr. Fantastic was hypnotizing them into becoming cows. I knew the Kree were bad, but I kinda figured the Skrulls were, too.
    I still think that a physical change that wouldn't affect gameplay is a lesser thing than an Affiliation that can actually affect which Supports are available, and how some Powers function.
    Maybe he could have the Heroes and Villains affiliation? I always thought Deadpool should have that. Or they need a new affiliation of neutral or something similar. Obviously that doesn't help with the Mysterio situation.

    Yeah, Deadpool should have something like Heroes, Villains, and Anti-Heroes as Affiliations!

    Deadpool should be more clever than that, add in MPQ player Canada to his affiliations.

    Decided to not use Gritty in Liberty Island out of sheer boredom. Boy, did the game slap me around and punished me after that. Bad call...

    I would have pegged Hulk as more of a Smashmouth fan, but that works just fine.

    Had a random thought  / idea after following the thoughts by those regarding Mysterio.

    What the Devs should do is wait a period (maybe Far from Home digital download  / disc release) then do a spoiler free change to Mysterio's affiliation coupled with a tweak to his power set. That would make the initial design purposeful.

    I keep mistaking Sabretooth for Krampus.

    One small feature I'd like to see is having the support screen show all of the available supports at each of the various star levels, instead of just the ones I own. For example, if I clicked on 1-star supports, it would also show all of the supports I don't have at rank 1, level 50, to give me an indication of what kind of actual value I could expect (instead of the nearly unattainable rank 5, level 250 numbers).

    I must say, I'm kinda disappointed that Juggernaut's PvP didn't get called "Gettin' Juggy Wit' It". Not surprised, mind you. But still disappointed.

    Probably already said, but new supports without levels 2 and 4...feels like a finger for getting one of those at both ranks. Guess they're suppose to be more powerful but seeing is believing and it is hard to do when the concept contributes so little overall.

    And yeah, scl10 is never coming, never. Prove me wrong devs.

    Everything is better with Queen, no doubt. Now I kinda want to call him Mr. Fahrenheit.
    Either would be better than "Stop at Nothing", tho.

    Is it just me or is the entire plot of Cosmic Chaos just Carol boasting about how awesome it is to have part Kree DNA? I can sort of understand why the Skrulls would want to go to war with them now. Unfortunately, as Talos is the best the Skrulls have, I can also understand why the Kree aren't that bothered.

    Mr. Fahrenheit would be Human Torch.  Either that, or a spellchecker would "correct" it to Mr. Fantastic.

    They'd make a Supersonic man out of Quicksilver.
