Oh so that's why they're mostly not that good.

Basically, what happened was back in the 90's, Marvel decided to make a quick buck by selling the movie rights to all their properties. Lots of studios bought said properties and never even did anything with them. The rule is that you have a certain number of years to make a new movie or the rights go back to the original owners. So by the time Marvel decided to get into the movie-making game in the mid-00's, the only major caveats were that Sony still had Spider-Man and Fox had X-Men (which includes Deadpool) and Fantastic Four.

After a few years, Marvel realized that they could make more money by emphasizing the characters they have the movie rights to because then they get a bigger piece of the pie.

Spider-Man was still a huge seller for them, so they kept treating him like an A-lister in the comics. Sony wanted to make their own expanded universe with the Spider-Man movies, but then Amazing Spider-Man 2 came out and while it made good money, it didn't make "Aunt May spinoff" money. They decided to work with Marvel and allow Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe because the alternative wasn't going to work out for them.

X-Men still has a bunch of comics, but writers are told not to introduce any more mutant characters because then Fox would own the movie rights to them. While X-Men are still around and Deadpool has multiple comics, Marvel's still trying to put extra emphasis on Inhumans, who are like the Hunts ketchup of comic properties. Wolverine, Cyclops and Xavier are dead too.

As for Fantastic Four, Marvel just cancelled that book because nobody gives a poo poo about them anymore. Dr. Doom is now the new Iron Man or something.

This is also why Captain Marvel is in that trailer. Marvel has been spending years preparing for her to be a big deal. They want her to be Marvel's Wonder Woman because outside of Black Widow, she's all they really have that isn't part of X-Men or Fantastic Four.

my understanding is that the huge majority of "new" characters marvel has made over the last 5 years are just "old superhero design but she's a girl with girly bits"

what's the over/under on marvel vs capcom infinite having more female characters than DOA5?

To add on to this, Marvel was going bankrupt at the time and very much needed the quick buck. They were no where near capable of making these movies themselves, which is why the sold the rights and why the deals are so lovely.

The announcement trailer has a 3:1 m:f ratio, so not really gonna happen. Also, Capcom would get in the way.

Is there a solid pre-dual-modded stick for PS4/Xbone/PC right now? Basically looking for the equivalent of the Qanba Q4 to get myself ready for new marvel + marvel 3 on modern consoles.

I think your best best still is to grab a brooks universal PCB and drop that in? I don't know of any sticks that work on ps4, bone, and pc out of the box. If there is something out there, I'd be interested in hearing about it too, but i'm assuming a bunch of people would have made noise about it already if that was the case.

Hey now, we all know that the reveal trailers aren't going to be nearly as exciting now that they'll be once a month for a new DLC character that costs $5 in fight money.

I like it if they are cheap and the starting cast is large to begin with. SF5 infuriates me because of the cost of the characters. I can see $1-$2 being reasonable, or maybe like 3-4 packs for $10, but $5 each seems insane.

Marvel has their own Morrigan counterpart, so I wouldn't mind seeing Shiklah show up to beef up the female part of the roster.



Though she's Deadpool's wife, so I don't know if that makes her an X-Men property or what.

$5 a character isn't too bad when you're getting free patches and system changes. Like, that's 6 characters for $30, also known as a new Arcsys expansion. As Mike Z will let you know, fighting game characters are pretty expensive.

charging 30 dollars a year for content is fine if you're constantly updating the game and cycle old content to be cheaper/free with the base game for newcomers so things arent overwhelming is fine, yeah.

charging 30 dollars for dlc in a 60 game with less content than your previous 60 dollar game is not.

Yep, and that was Capcom's issue. They bungled the release terribly, actually hosed themselves over by not having a cash store in place by the time Alex came out, and had real bad prices on anything that was not a character.
