    Spider-Man coming to the MCU!

    in The Minimates' Arms

    Meh, I can't really say I'm super thrilled. Sony's still handing the standalone films, so that doesn't instill me with hope. Plus, I really liked the focus on less exposed characters in the MCU, and Spider-Man interacting with them worries me that he'll be taking the spotlight in the Avengers films from here out.

    My thoughts exactly! (close to it): "Spidey and Xavier's kids being out of the equation was one of the reasons Marvel gave their other properties a chance (in my opinion). I'm afraid Parker is going to steal some thunder. Let's hope Sony takes Tony and the gang out for dinner first."

    Cannon fodder, army builders make-over!

    Good day everyone!

    I've been taking my 'Mates out of storage and am trying to add some diversity to my goons. My question to all of you is if you have any recipes, ideas and/or pictures to get this thing going.

    This is regarding S.H.I.E.L.D. agents mostly. A lot of army builders have the exact same look, i.e. Hellfire guards, Doombots, Moloids, etc... Being an international collector it's not that easy (quite expensive, too) for me to trade for parts that I think might work. That's why I like to be certain to avoid getting parts I end up not using.

    I could use some inspiration for these crews:

    - Male S.H.I.E.L.D agents

    - Female S.H.I.E.L.D agents

    - Nova corps

    - Kree soldiers

    - A.I.M. agents (weapons and gear)

    Also wondering if anyone assembled these baddies (partly inspired by Marvel: Avengers Alliance):

    - Maggia (for Silvermane)

    - Thugs (for Kingpin)

    - Assasins (for Jigsaw)

    - Vampires (for Dracula)

    - Demons (for Dormammu)

    I couldn't find a topic like this one so I hope it's a-ok.

    Just beat Super Mario World, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 64. Als cleared Army of Two on the 360. I've just started playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Nintendo games always cheer me up, a lot of fun. Heh, I'm also a Lego videogame fan, got 100% on every one except Undercover, since I don't have a Wii U (yet, waiting for Smash Bros 4).

    @Jeff: check out the Avengers Alliance topic for help! Or the Playdom forum. I'm pretty sure you can't start the Hulk Premium mission unless you buy the character with command points. That's how it is on the Facebook version.

    MoS reminds me of DKR. It's not great nor horrible, it exists. Both movies did nothing for me. That might be worse than being bad. I saw both movies on the big screen and I'm thinking about not doing so for upcoming DC movies. I just don't care. It was such a dull experience. The fight scenes had some brutal ideas going for them but reminded me of Transformers. And Superman flying looked off for some reason. Superman can kill for all I care, sometimes that's what has to be done. The argument about sacrifice and making the world small doesn't work for me. He killed more humans than Zod did. I know it was done to prevent Zod from committing genocide but still, he was like a kid in a playpen. When he destroys all these lives it makes all his rescue efforts seem moot. Especially when you consider earth's people are the ones he wants to protect. I was actually rooting for Zod to be honest, just because a lot of stuff didn't make sense. And Clark didn't have any heart nor emotion. I thought the acting was okay, action was pretty fun in general. Writing could've been better. I understand the love for the movie, just like with DKR. And I'm happy for the DC fans. I just hope they raise the bar if they ever make a Justice League movie.

    I think I'll go with the Wii U. I enjoy playing on the PS3 and Xbox360 but the Wii has games that are more fun, in my opinion. Especially with 4 players. I don't like online play and rarely play by myself. I would've gotten a PS3 if I did. Nothing can beat the sheer joy of Super Smash Brothers, New Super Mario Brothers and Mario Kart. I know they're following the same formula but that's what a lot of games/developers/companies are doing at the moment. Looking at all the shooters, racers and sports games. And when a game is original, it gets dumbed down. Nintendo is really dropping the ball when it comes to marketing and promotion, which is sad. But when it comes down to it, their first party games are the best of the best. Not saying they're untouchable, heck no. I'm not a blind fanboy. A few of my favorite games are: Red Dead Redemption, Batman: Arkham City, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Army Of Two and Prototype. I just hope Nintendo gets their shit together. The humble approach doesn't work. They should scream & shout like Microsoft and Sony. They have the skills, creativity and know-how, use and abuse it!

    Meh, PVP comes down to luck. I don't play that game. I never got any good weapons from boss drops so no MFG for me (defeated Magneto 30+ times) either which seems to help. groundhog7s said it, Mockingbird kills it. I prefer playing PVE, where tactics play a bigger role. And I don't want to waste CP's on butt-ugly costumes just to stand a chance in the tournament (looking at you, movie Avengers and Phoenix Five).

    On a side note, I could care less about Deadpool now that Hercules, Beast and Ghost Rider are out!

    To be fair though, 10 bars of gold, I can dig it!
