Oh, what a time to be alive. Echo is debuting in a few days, and all episodes being dropped on day one is NEVER a good sign, but all I know is it’ll be a fun time reviewing this show. Check out my preview of what will certainly be a full week of content.

Loki the Skeptic Loki the Believer
Remember that sad emotional scene where Loki watches his future and becomes a better person from it? He sees himself and Thor becoming friends, getting along, seeing that he is the reason his mother was killed in Thor 2, ultimately sees himself die at the hands of Thanos and realizes this is his fate if he doesn’t change. Yet when He Who Remains shows Loki the script of what’s about to happen, he says “It’s a parlor trick”.
Ummm what?
Loki watched a montage of his future, took it as gospel, became a better person from it and now, all of a sudden, after he’s gone on this massive journey, now you’re a skeptic.
It reminds me of one of my favorite and most hated movies The Polar Express, where a child who doesn’t believe in Santa goes on a magical train ride, meets elves, sees Santa’s workshop yet when he finally sees Santa in person he doesn’t know if he believes.
That’s what happens when you try to shoe horn 3 movies of character development into one montage and then all of a sudden make the lead character go through actual moments of doubt.
X-23 : Marvel Strike Force
Easily one of my favorite characters in the game. X-23 has all the healing abilities as Wolverine, but I mainly use her because of the attack Feral Rage, which attacks the most damaged opponent for 4 attacks and if that enemy gets defeated, she continues the attack on to the next most damaged opponent. So, depending on how powerful the targets you can take out many opponents in one attack.

Thor : Marvel Strike Force
0 downside to Thor. He deals a ton of damage on his 1st attack; his 2nd attack damages adjacent targets and his 3rd attack shoots lightening at all opponents and Stuns them. He is part of the Cosmic and Mystic classes so you can use him for the long run. I’m also leveling up Heimdall and Loki as well so all 3 give each other Asgardian buffs. And eventually the more damage Thor takes, he’s able to unleash a massive counter that hurts all opponents. Thor is a character that is built to be in a lot of starting rotations so I highly recommend putting a lot of points into him.

Namor : Marvel Strike Force
I hate Namor. Don’t know why, but as soon as I got him, I’ve been trying to get him out of my main Villain squad, but he’s so easy to level up and does so much damage that I’m forced to keep him. Obviously, I’m drawn to characters that Summon other characters to my team or have more Perks and Bleeds to their moves. Namor doesn’t impress on paper, but somehow, he’s gotten me through a lot of the game as soon as I unlocked him. So, I don’t know if I recommend him. He will get you over the hump I think, but in the end, I keep him around until I get something better.

Punisher : Marvel Strike Force
There really isn’t anything special about the Punisher. He feels like a more powerful Minion character. Attacks are simple, no real added Perks to them and his categories aren’t vast enough to put a lot of focus into. I wouldn’t bother with the Punisher in any aspect.

Red Skull :Marvel Strike Force
The Red Skull is one of the only characters I NEEDED to get. Unlike other characters that Summon helpers, the Red Skull gets three at once while other characters can get 1-2 while Red Skull Summons 2-3. His attacks are somewhat powerful, but he can attack and gain Assists from the other Hydra Summons at once. I recommend him, but I wish he was apart of more categories.

Crossbones : Marvel Strike Force
Crossbones is one of the first characters you can unlock through the Events. All new users in this game start off with the Crossbones and Electra events. He’s not the best character you can get, but he still helps you a lot early on. He has just a simple attack, a Taunt with a 1-2 Counter you can upgrade, but his main use is his Detonate attack. Detonate gives him 2 Death Proof and hurts all enemies for 440% damage. It can’t miss, but it can be dodged. Either way this is the one reason I keep Crossbones around. There have been many matches where that Detonate saved my characters.
Would I recommend using him? Kinda. Like I said before, he’s mainly in my rotation because he’s easy to upgrade. His attack does have a chance of a bonus attack and does Defense Down, but it’s not like stacked on Bleeds or anything worse.

The Code
Remember in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, where Yondu was ousted from the Ravagers by breaking the sacred code? I find it weird that a coalition of murderous, thieving space pirates operate under a strict code of not kidnapping children.
What do you guys think?
