    Who knew Hellcow would be the character to lead to animal inclusion and propaganda.

    It's a regular Operation Mockingbird...

    (Jokes really aren't my thing. I'm way too serious and it just doesn't come naturally to me. But that's my attempt at a joke including both an animal and a character in the game... Explaining that likely makes it even less funny, but here we are.)

    The first joke was okay, but the parentheses joke is an incredible meta joke coming from the humor genius

    The humor genius thing is meant to be sarcastic. The statement on parenthesis wasn't meant to be a joke, but I recognize it's been done now that you point it out.

    Lol. I know. My comment was a joke.

    Where's my Hellcow & Friends Vault? Was the announced start time a bunch of bull?

    I had to go back and look at the announced start time... wow, yeah, in the past they've always started noon (Eastern US Time) on Thursday. That's what I'd expect.

    The announcements are, what, on Pacific Time now? That'd be 7am, which is in fact when Bessie was pushed into the game, but we'll probably see the vault two hours from now.

    Bessie's FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS power is not registering for her Quest.
    (have used it more than a few times so far)

    Are you using a 4 star Bessie? I was confused by this last time a 2 star was released and had to wait for the PVP event.

    Nevermind, the print is so fine I didn't see the 4* requirement.

    I gave Hellcow the Thanos Copter. I had no idea it was possible to win MPQ this much.

    Hey whatever happened to that one guy who was super upset about MPQ featuring too many animal characters?

    Did he finally moo-ve on?

    Not sure if you mean me, but I have been disgruntled here and there about characters I think are utterly silly when certain others aren't included.

    I also recognize not every character will be "for me" and someone else might enjoy them. No need to tip this cow just because I don't have some of my favorites in game yet.

    I do think I'm learning that expressing a negative opinion on a character based on aesthetics (animal or otherwise) or preference for something else, could ruin someone else's fun... Even if my intent is only to express an opinion it never goes well. It's a cud I no longer want to chew.

    The exception is sidewinder... I just don't like looking at him.

    Otherwise, I'm making an effort to be more positive and respect those that might be excited for characters like Hellcow.

    The art is very well done. The powers should be effective at the 2* level, at least. Some seem excited to see her. Congrats to them.

    And I would absolutely use Hellcow before oscorp Spidey, Luna snow, and certain others with power sets that annoy me.

    Oh no! I'm sorry, I'm terrible with forum names, was it you that I was thinking of? I sincerely did not mean to call you out.

    I actually don't know if you meant me. I don't think I've been super upset about animals... But others may think so.

    Artwork is amazing...
    I find the 4* event requirement odd. Most won't have the HP to get the ascended version from the vault.
    I won't speculate on motivation for that.

    Powers are cheap though. Still deciding how effective/fun I think she is.

    I think the previous 2* initial PVP events had a 4* loaner.

    Yes. Every 2 star release has been the same. The quests require a 4 star ascended. You can get one with HP in the vault or with cash with the chained offer, or you can wait until the loaned pvp.

    I age my steak tartare quite a bit before consuming.

    Seems weird I never noticed before. Benefit of generally having resources, I guess. Also, I'm old and usually just squint to see the character name and the condition.

    Paired her with Mephisto. Went well,

    I just randomly realized who you would have been referencing... Dude was unhinged and irrational.

    Wasn't me lol. Just wanted to clarify.

    I don't think there was just one person in the "bored of the MPZ Zoo" gang. And it wasn't just animals and it also went to Spider Verse, so when spider animals were released there was a whole other venn diagram section of rage.
