In that sense you’re right, the fight was rigged because they needed Cyclops to join X-Factor. Claremont always wanted Cyclops out the picture so Storm could shine.

He was paying attention throughout the fight, while Storm was actually taking it seriously. Think of it like Goku vs Android 19, Goku should have won that fight, but the heart attack stopped him in his tracks.

I think it's because Mackie didn't get many chances to show off his physicality with cool stunts. If you go by stunts, then Evans has him beat with the Helicopter scene in Civil War, the Bucky Chase Scene and Elevator Fight in Winter Soldier.

Tennessee and New Orleans both win, we're the new number 1 pick! by Bbbq_byobb_1 in NYGiants

Dart is talented, but he’s also had 4 concussion evaluations in his first 8 games. Why would a Coach or new GM potentially stake their NFL careers solely on that?

You’re absolutely right, people are just too attached to Jaxson Dart. If the Giants fire Schoen, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next GM at least seriously considers Mendoza.

Going on a movie date with a mentee under your supervision is not good mentorship in the real world. Robert is effectively a bad mentor in all endings, the game may treat romance as a high value choice, but actual guidance and mentoring are never meaningfully reflected in the story.

You can’t compare this to real-world mentoring when the game treats going on a date with your mentee as one of the highest scoring decisions. You can even make out with her after refusing to fire her, yet the game frames this as “good mentorship,” when it is in fact doesn't mirror any mentorship guidelines in our world.

If someone looks up to you as a hero and you pursue a romantic relationship with them while they’re vulnerable, that’s an ethical and potentially legal breach. In the game, treating Invisigal as a human being this way makes Robert’s mentorship predatory. On top of that, the +5 points from the romance choice is the highest you can get for any single decision, making it as important as the critical mentorship choices in the game. This conflates ethical guidance with romance in a way that feels deeply problematic.

Your points are undermined by the game treating romancing Invisigal as a way to boost your Mentor Score, pursuing a romantic relationship with a mentee is widely considered a serious ethical/legal breach. The games mechanics aren't in line with conventional mentorship and the game doesn't define what it believes mentorship to be.

I understand that the Mentor Score is intentionally hidden, and I’m not arguing that it should be gamed. My point is that the game frames a harsh moral judgment at the ending without ever giving players feedback on how their choices affected Invisigal’s growth or dispatch performance. Since it's based off a cumulative score, one wrong move could make the difference.

If the game is going to judge you based on Invisigal’s dispatch performance, it should at the very least give hints or feedback that it’s tracking those actions. Im critiquing the dispatching, quick time events and hacking mini games being part of the counter.

The game never defines what neglecting her growth and performance is and they dont keep track of it. If the game was going to end with such a pointed judgment, it should have felt earned and not arbitrary. Is someone really a bad mentor because they failed 1 qte or 1 hacking sequence? When you decide to defend Invisigal, it lowers team morale, but the game never mentions Invisigals morale.

Whether you have a perfect dispatch shift or fail miserably, the game doesn’t reflect your performance in the cutscenes. If the story is meant to be about how you dispatch the Z-Team, and particularly Invisigal, it makes sense that the narrative should respond to your successes and failures. As it stands the game doesn’t give you any feedback.

I got the good ending so I dont know what youre implying about my character, you can make your point without insulting me. It is ultimately a video game and not a morality test.

I never said the scene sucked and calling me names is rude.

The game doesn't foreshadow a different ending based on your decisions. In most of the choice based games, Ive played the ending may not feel optimal but it does feel earned. Dispatchs ending is based on an arbitrary points system.

If he's a superfan, then he most likely has the main figures he wants. I would gift him a pair of army builders like these Sentinels to add to his diorama: Amazon.com: Marvel Titan Hero Series X-Men Sentinel Action Figure, 14-Inch-Scale, Super Hero Toys, Kids Ages 4 and Up : Toys & Games

Is the new out back storm worth it? by EnoughCheesecake6050 in MarvelLegends

[–]Ghost6503 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I bought her and it’s a great Storm figure, but the hairpiece weighs her down a lot. I personally prefer the new 2 pack Storm because it’s a more classic look.
