Which would be more offensive to you: 1) Vintage 4*s had their rewards changed to 5* feeders but didn't give out retroactive covers (people who had them at those levels just had to be content with the LT they'd already gotten)2) Moving forward, all feeders were just new releases so everybody was starting from 0A new player will have the same chance of getting 5*s in either case, so these two things only mean something to players who would otherwise be "entitled" to free covers.

smkspy said: And for "new" players, why would they be concerned with any of this. They're focused on building 2/3 🌟 roster while fighting mass dilution with 4 stars. Fives are the least of their concern. Retro-covers mean nothing to whales. For non-whale heavily established five star players the covers are a merely champ levels. But for those like me who past 4 stars, and are just entering into five star land, mean the world despite just being Band-Aids. Say 296 MEH feeds 2/4/5 Banner, talk about a retro cover breaking the game for "new" players.
bluewolf said: Every announcement has been an even number of weeks apart. Assuming a normal announcement, and not some mass release, nothing will come this week. Not to mention it’d be Ghost. Who would feed Wasp, maybe? Seems highly unlikely.

I am 100% on your side that there should be a way in-game to target your roster growth on purpose outside of hoarding until special release vaults, and the feeder system is the closest thing we have to that right now. I only have 7 4*s above 280 with a few more at 279, so I don't believe I've personally benefited from any of the feeder announcements yet (in the way of getting a free cover for my troubles on top of the LT; Maaaaybe Vulture->Parker, but i don't think so). But your response to my question 1 being "they set a precedent, now they owe us more of it" is kind of the definition of entitlement. I would say that all the players deserve a realistic path to 5* play, but I don't think the answer to that is "go back to 2008 and grind."

So I think some of the delays might have to do with that and it takes precedence over our hopes and dreams. The next Marvel movies in 2019 are Captain Marvel, Avengers, Spiderman and an Agents of Shield movie.In TV land Iron fist and Daredevil is coming out later this year. Punisher and Jessica Jones next seasons are being filmed. Marvels Runaways is filming and might get released this year. Oh and then there is Marvel's New Warriors, which may give us a Squirrel Girl. I also think they might do some things when a Blueray/DVD comes out.

TheRealJRad said: Personally, I wish they'd assign a feeder when a 5* goes Classic. That seems like a good time to do it.
CharlieCroker saidI do wish they'd step things up a little with the feeders, but it's also nice to be kept guessing on who will be next to be given a feeder, and hoping it will finally be for one of the classics stuck at 10-12 covers.
