Because I am finding myself too emotional to read much....

I know I will want to look at these various threads at some point, but right now, it kind of hurts.

My son just got into this game, too. It was like a dream for him to be able to play a game with mommy, daddy, his cousins and friend all at the same time. He got teary-eyed when I told him it would be shut down.

I've lost count of how many times I have crapped my pants in astonishment in the past 24 hours...

Well, I am in too much shock to say much. I can't think of anything witty or anything. Most o what I want to say has been said already anyway.

I met a number of great people here, some of them even travelling to meet in real life. I love the community and have enjoyed every moment walking the streets or flying the skies of Paragon.

I will miss everyone and hate seeing my characters (my babies!) go...

Now I have to explain to my son (who just started playing and is [i]soooooo[/] proud to be level 23) that he will no longer be able to team with mommy and daddy to fight bad guys.

Words fail me as to how cute he is....

Hi Dink. I sent you a message about this, but thought I would put it here, too, as this is the official thread.

For some time now (and especially since Water Blast came out), I have wanted proper bare feet for characters. I have a couple of characters who should thematically go barefoot, but the bare feet in the game right now look horrible. I have posted about this elsewhere and others have agreed with me.

I think the best recommendations came from Samuel_Tow, who pointed out that we have perfectly serviceable models in the game right now that could be used with new textures, including zombie feet, and the ExoProto boots and Stealth boots.

In another thread, someone had posted something like "Dink is currently responding to every request to make specific parts 'less ugly' with 'okay'", so I am hoping you can address this.

... unless this is ignored, in which case I will likely ask again.

With the release of the Water Blast power, I am sure there will be a number of characters appearing with swimsuits, or at least water-themed outfits. Something that would fit well with these costumes and which I (and others have asked for multiple times) is proper-looking bare feet. No more boots with toes, please. I have asked for better feet enough times that I feel like some sort of fetishist, but I have at least two characters (and with WB, a third on the way) that thematically should be barefoot.

I know that the work to fix them could potentially be more than what the devs consider worthwhile, but I know that I am not alone in wanting this. I have seen numerous other posts asking for the same thing.

C'mon devs... my barefoot characters are not mutants. Please don't give them mutant feet.

So, is this really worth watching? My wife, son and I all loved the first series, watching it multiple times and lending out the DVDs to people. We were looking forward to Korra, but when the first two episodes came out, I fell asleep watching the first one. It started ok, but I really didn't like
the weird 1920- or 1930-ish setting at all. When I woke up, I asked my wife what she thought. She said the story seemed dull, the supporting characters were not interesting and Korra herself was borderline annoying. I didn't bother trying to watch again and my wife has no desire to watch either. My son has expressed a desire to watch it, so I may try again, but I just don't have any enthusiasm about it.

Ok, a few thoughts based on the past several pages:

Cap's God line was perfect and even his use of "son..." was great, even if I did cringe slightly. THAT is Cap. Comments about how it could almost be religious persecution, etc, are merely being made after viewing them with todays cynical way-too-PC eyes. It was perfect. I also Coulson's comment about something old-fashioned being needed. I couldn't agree more. As much as I do enjoy the darker tales favoured by many today, I think it is WAY past time we see a good, heroic, decent character that can be looked up to. I am really hoping we will see this in Man of Steel as well. I want a character who can do the right thing simply because it is the right thing. we need some good role models again.

The "Q word" was great. I suspect I was the only one in my showing who knew it.

Loki was great and I loved seeing Hulk smash him, but it seemed ike everybody got to smack him down at least once. It happened perhaps too many times. Also, on the topic of Asgardian invulnerability, even in the comics, Hulk doing that to him should have left him with many broken bones. As I recall, Asgardians have dense flesh and bones, but not true invulnerability, which is why Thor uses Mjolnir to deflect attacks. I remember Thor breaking Loki's arm with a tap from Mjolnir on one occasion.

Phase 2... How would they go to Phase 2 with the Tesseract gone? What would power the weapons? I am not convinced that it really was just advanced weaponry.

In regards to Coulson, I am sure he is alive. When Maria Hill mentions the trading cards to Fury and how they had been in Coulson's locker, not his jacket, that pretty much clinched it for me. Fury would have had to go get them, cover them in blood and then lie about where he got them from. Fury's line of having to give them something to fight for reinforced this a bit more. Add to that the fact that Clark Gregg says Whedon specifically told him Coulson would not die in the film.

Edit: I am stunned to discover that Gregg is married to "Baby" from Dirty Dancing... O.o

Whenever I see Spiderman trailers, or Captain America in the Avengers, I always imagine producers coming in, seeing the dailies and saying "hey looks good, but can you have him take off his mask more often?" I know they pay for the actors and thus want to see their faces, but it's starting to get stupid that they doff their masks at the drop of a hat.

So they can manage to get the Lizard his lab coat, but can't get Spidey's costume right?

Pssshhh.

I had heard about this and was debating getting it. I picked up the DC Universe one, which is... ok. I am not sure how I like it. Some parts are cool, others, I am iffy about. I still have my old Marvel RPG and was looking at it only a few days ago. I want to start gaming with my son and am debating what system to use.
