Dormammu said: And Contest of Champions is published by who? Isn't it possible an entirely different publisher might have squishy feelings about it, in this era when over-sensitive finger pointing is an issue? I have no idea if that's the reason, I'm just saying it could be.

PiMacleod said: Just did a google search for "playable nazi characters"...There's a few out there... but not many. The Lego Indiana Jones game lets you play as so many characters, including some of the baddies too... and we know that list includes some undesirables.Most playable Nazi characters seem to be from a "turned" perspective (once a nazi, now an anti-nazi, or something similar).Also, There's a Marvel character named "Dr Nemesis"...? I guess he was a nazi, then an anti-nazi, and eventually became an x-man? Strange...Anyways, I always assume that it just comes down to marketing and PR. 1) This is fiction. No matter how much of our reality we want to pour into this, it's just fiction. Even more-so, it's a match-3 game! It's not like we're playing a GTA game, or the Witcher, or Elder Scrolls, or Fallout, and we're "getting into the character". If we were, then I think all of our Apocalypse users must have a huge ego or something! 2) Mark him as a villain and be done with it. If they're REALLY shy about it, just don't state 'nazi' or 'anti-jewish' or whatever anywhere! You can easily just state in his bio that he was Captain America's greatest adversary during the years X to Y, leading the enemy army, heading an early-years Hydra campaign. It's simple wordplay. Can people look up who he is online? Sure! Is the Red Skull a REAL person? No! Are we pretending to be the person we're playing as in a match-3 game? See #1! 3) It's not like MPQ is gonna start pumping out nazi-propaganda for the new character release. Even if they did an "Introducing..." for him as a 5* (yes, I would assume such a notable character to deserve that rating), they can easily make the 5 nodes for him revolve around his battles with Captain America or other good guys, never really mentioning the word 'nazi' or 'swastika' anywhere. Once again, wordplay.Sorry -- maybe I'm missing the mark somewhere. Not that I don't understand what the issue is, but its the precautionary stance against making a fictional villain because of presumed PR that has me scratching my head. I'm pretty sure that ever since the Red Skull was a thing, that not a SINGLE PERSON was like "Oh, I wanna be just like HIM!" ... well, unless they were already a nazi... but then, why would you be reading a piece of fiction that glorifies your fictional enemy? Whatever. I'm in the camp of "who cares"... because I have yet to see any post or blog or whatever that ever convinces a person to change their stance on a subject. Not a single anti-Trump post has ever convinced a Trump supporter to change their thoughts, and vice-versa.I can't imagine a scenario where the Red Skull is released in a match-3 game, and that somehow lights the fires of the Karens of the world, and emboldens any currently playing nazis. If this is a reason to not release him, then I think they are being way too overly cautious.Edit: fixed grammar
Therealsmkspy said: So many essays over RS as a potential character that really distracts from the fact that supposed "endgame" content is at 50 characters.Might just be me, but me thinks we need more ways to gain 5s with so many available. Like adding 5* shard to PvP progression rewards.And never gonna happen but I can dream, a full cover in scl10 pve.
Dirtytactics22 said: I to am hoping that they address the fact that 5* are more common now and need at least a couple of extra ways to acquire them. An extra node on deadpool daily that had a required 5* would be a start.
Polares said: For the love of GOD give us Adam Warlock once and for all !!!!! How is it possible we dont have him yet...Also, pretty please, give us a great 5 again. It is time for a meta char, after so many decent/good chars in a row (everything after Apoc).
