    It'd be perfectly thematic if 3* Thor and Vision were swapped in PVE lol.

    @Neko

    I believe that "10/21 - 11/5 S.H.I.E.L.D. SIMULATOR (Season Start)" should be 11/15 and the graphic's end dates for SHIELD Simulator and Season should likewise be adjusted.

    Additionally, I want to thank you for taking the time to put this together. From an enjoyment perspective, looking ahead to what's coming down the pipeline gets me excited for future MPQ events while simultaneously removing the surprise factor and allowing me to better weave MPQ and my life together. Seeing which 4* cards will be coming up soon in progression also allows me to allocate my ISO resources wisely... and that also makes the game more enjoyable as I feel a little less like I'm banging my head and trying to squeeze ISO out of a rock.

    I'm going to miss out guessing the next 5* because someone has revealed it in reddit.  :/

    Change is good...

    Talking about Omega Red, I read a rumour stating that he will be the villian in Falcon and Winter Soldier. It turned out that not even his silhouette can be found. MCOC has Omega Red and he's pretty good in there. I can't wait for him to be in MPQ.

    That would be out of step with normal character releases though right? When was the last time they released two characters from the same movie back-to-back? Or was it Monica and Wanda and I’m just an idiot.

    Traditionally, it has always been 1 4* and 1 5* for movie tie-in back to back. The reason why it seems out of place is due to Covid-19 messing all the movie release schedules.

    Black Widow had Red Guardian and Yelena but due to Covid-19, the releases were months apart.

    Antman had 5* Wasp and 4* Ghost. 
    Spider-Verse: 5* Kingpin and 4* Spider-Ham. 

    Infinity War and Endgame actually had at least 3 tie-ins. 

    Without Covid-19, back to back tie-in is the norm.

    Change is good sounds like a shapeshifter to me. Is there one among the Eternals?

    If it’s another Eternal, it’s probably Ajak (Selma Hayek) who was changed to be female for the film?

    True, though I only remember the two heroes being hyped simultaneously.

    I read about Sersi's powers and it is said that she's even stronger than Scarlet Witch. Will she be our third anti-Colossus/Wanda or our pro-Colossus/Wanda team in MPQ?

    I suppose she will have ability that replaces tiles with other stuffs to show that she can manipulate matters, living or dead. Give her some true healing and maybe synergy with Ikaris, like turn Ikaris into a 5* temporarily. 

    I like Ajak because his mechanics should be interesting in MPQ.

    Characters having synergy with other characters from their comic group? Now I know that would be out of step with what is normal in this game.
