It's not fair to compare an anniversary special event to a Christmas special event? There have been Christmas' that had better rewards/events than anniversary's in the past. If it was not any special event I'd give you that, but it still is. Also what is undoubtedly fair to compare is this to a normal boss event. IMO these rewards are worse than those. 2 LTs vs 1 is bad. Not to mention the cliff jump from 8 to 1 comparing with PoP.TL;DR - The rewards in this event are a joke.

Wow... I was coming to point that out as well. As of now the four entry points are just different pretty colors on the front page of the event - there's absolutely nothing on that page that states whiat level of difficulty each one applies to. That's a pretty significant oversight.ETA: Okay, apparently you can hit 'Okay' for the sub-chapter, see details, and still back out. That's something, and useful. But making it clear before then - especially as hitting that 'Okay' is what locks you in during Strange Sights - would be nice. The four oretty colors are green, yellow, orange, and red, clockwise, in that order, corresponding to increasing difficulty. It’s not great UI design but it’s not completely impenetrable. Unless you are red/green colorblind. UI should never rely on colors alone. And we get to find out who the color-blind users are by whoever "Likes" this post. (Like me, for instance...)

I'll only get 1 4* cover from this, I'm just gonna drop down to easy and get the personal progression, and even then I don't know if I'm motivated for that because the rewards still might not be worth the time to clear all the darn nodes to get progression. ...it's not fun or exciting to have to try to figure out things while you lose rewards in the process. please at least get that through your heads... or don't... I really think I'm about done. You clearly only care about the 5* whales at this point.

A few times, an ally died before I got the win. The Doc Ock node starts with level 420 enemies (5*Thor, ME Hulk, GSBW) that go up to level 450, so 4* players, you've been warned. I didn't have Doc Ock to access the node, but if I did, I'm not sure how I would win it.

I really think I'm about done. You clearly only care about the 5* whales at this point. Wait, how is this event going to take more time that what you do in normal Boss events per day? Or, compare this to the normal PVE grind plus clears per day. I don't see how this is more work (unless an unsuitable difficulty is chosen). Now, compare the total rewards you can earn from this event to a 'normal' Boss event. Does it really differ that much? Lastly, can you earn a LT from any 4-day PvE event? I know I can't, and I have many 5* champs.

Well, deadly I suppose. It was horrible, took way too long, ate all my health packs and then some... And I loved it. Not doing it again tomorrow!
