1) The Spring Fling only really had a Valentines theme when it included Manticore & Sister Psyche's wedding (which was a live event added to match the wedding of Sean Michael Fish, the developer who has taken the 'Manticore' name). You can argue otherwise, but aside from the "Heroes and Villains working together", there's not much to say "Love is in the air!"
2) Independence Day is only July 4th for the United States of America. There are many, many players who are from other countries.

We have no reason to celebrate independence of some other country but some kind of midsummer festival would be nice. Midsummer is more important than christmas here.

2) Well, there aren't so many reasons to justify a Summer Event. However, it's true that people from outside US play CoX, but Paragon City is fictionally located there, so it's natural that the city celebrates the Independence Day (and it's natural that heroes will protect the celebrations while villains will try to ruin them).

The "Spring Fling" takes place around Valentines Day and ends at least 2-3 weeks before spring begins in the northern hemisphere. You can take on a mission from Eros, the god of love, and you can unlock a "Hearts" costume pattern. So I would say there is a lot more to tie this event to Valentines Day than there is to the season of spring.

Looking at CoX's 3 Seasonal Events, I always thought they're a bit incomplete, essentially because, while Autumn (Halloween) & Winter events always have something new to do every year, the Spring event (due to its particular theme) can't be updated so easily. So, I would like to do a pair of suggestions to the devs:
1) transform the Spring Event from the "Valentine's Day" theme to a more general (such as the Spring's Equinox) or another specific (like St. Patrick's Day) "Spring" theme. This way, people still can do Pocket D's stuff and devs can add more contents to the event (for example, with an "Equinox" theme players should try to thwart a CoT's plot to steal the magical energies of the awakening Nature, while with a "St. Patrick" theme villains should try to steal the Golden Pot at the end of the rainbow and heroes should try to stop them - meanwhile the Red Caps, through magical portals, should spread all over the cities to mess up everything);
2) to close the circle, add a Summer themed Event. Of course, the logical choice would be July 4th, with heroes celebrating the Independence Day and villains trying to ruin the celebrations (and the arrive of the new emote /launchfireworks).
What you think about it?
