in MPQ General Discussion

Hey all, just wanted to give you a heads up that we're doing some last minute mechanics updates on the next new character. As such, we'd rather release the info tomorrow once we've got those changes tested rather than put out something we think will work, then have to walk it back. So, yes, info! Tomorrow.

    You can't go wong because this is technically best choice.

    We will get to find out Wong way or another so is all good!

    I dunno why people assume its Wong.

    The clue fits, and Wong was in She-Hulk with Abomination, who feeds the new 5-star.

    Nani? In TV Show? Heh. And I thought I can expect from comic book based game to have some respect for source material. Wong has as much connections to gamma mutates as I do. I wish they (not specifing who exactly are those "they") stopped acting as MCU is more main Marvel Universe than 616.

    Another point on the list how Disney has ruined Marvel for me.

    BTW - EOT. I wont drag this topic much longer here.

    Wait, where does it say that MPQ is only a comic book based game? Aren't, for example, literally the majority of the 5* Avengers in the game based on MCU versions? We have a mixture of source material for characters.

    Wasn't he also in Shang Chi? I vaguely remember a staged fight between him and Abomination.

    And yes, his release is perfectly timed with Lunar New Year. But don't think that's the only deciding factor, he's really popular and people have been asking for him as much as Omega Red.

    p.s. What are the chances the devs are going to be continously generous and put Shang Chi in his release store?

    Like here, or elsewhere? I guess I haven't noticed it, but I'm happy to see him join as more than a support, he's great in the MCU.

    He's become really popular since he started showing up in the recent Disney+ shows, and rightly so.

    I wrote one page long essay but decided to make it really shorter. I know that If I drag myself into this kind of topics, there will be methaphorical blood here and there as, for me, it is too complicated topic to make short answer and being well understood at the same time. And there is not TLDR version of my thougts here.

    The REALY SHORT answer is "knowhere". And lets end it here. Really. Please.

    I hope they do for the New Years store. Having Tony Stark and Okoye representing the event was a little... Um, unfortunate...

    This is the strangest discussion. You all here talking about it is Wong or it is not Wong when clearly it is Banshee because … reasons.
    Literally this is a strange thread for speculation when no extra hints have been dropped.

    Strange Sights release event because hearing has been damaged by a sonic wail and now everything is strange without sound. Banshee incoming confirmed.

    Can we equip the Wong support on Wong?

    **Mod note: Removed an off-topic discussion on racist tropes and separated a discussion on whether the MCU has ruined Marvel comics or not?

    If you wish to continue that particular discussion please do so there.

    Please keep this thread on topic. Thank you.**

    and thank YOU! Good lord, that’s been the most egregiously beating-a-dead-horse / schoolyard-esque topic I’ve seen on here over the past years (and usually from the same regulars).

    Looking forward to the new character announcement! Thanks for the communication (and phenomenal work in general), Broken Circle!

    You can equip the Hulkling support on Hulkling, so I'm going to guess you can.

    Release store is probably Strange (sigh) and Wanda.
