Secret Wars in Marvel Future Fight









Netmarble Games' Marvel Future Fight brings "Secret Wars" in the new update of one of the anticipated games in smartphones. With the said update some players are quite happy and some are not.


They added 3 new playable characters that came from secret wars series " A-Force". Nico Minoru/ Sister Grimm, She-Hulk and Singularity. They also added new uniforms from different Secret Wars series like Symbiote Spider-man, 1602 Angela, 1872 Bullseye, Maestro, Hala Field uniform of Captain Marvel, Groot from Thors, Marvel Zombies Venom. Some of the uniforms are not yet available in the shop yet you can have a preview of the alternate costumes of kingpin, captain america, iron man and black widow.

Battleworld
In order to feel the secret wars in the game they also included "Battleworld" in which you will select 5 heroes and fight with other players. You can get biometrics if you manage to be part of the rankings. The requirements to participate in the battleworld changes every 2 days I think? They also included comic book covers to collect via dimension rift and gain rewards.

TBH the update is not quite good for me despite the added features. One reason some players don't like it because of the changes in the villain siege specifically in the chaos and honor token shops wherein only hulk and captain marvel are the heroes you can buy for 500 tokens with 3 biometrics. Then the other heroes are now in the chaos or honor chest. It is now more cheaper but you randomly get 1-3 biometrics for 165. Maybe I was just satisfied with the previous update (Antman update) that's why it didn't meet my expectations but I'm still playing the game and hope we could get a much cooler update once Captain America: Civil War hit the theaters.

Think Big!

The smallest hero to conclude the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2


It’s very unexpected for a not well known hero to have a blockbuster movie even having the thought of having his own movie is really surprising. Ant-man for consecutive weekends is at number 1 and topping “Pixels”. Marvel studios has now made $226.5 million globally and more than $106 million in the United States.

To give you a short background, there are different people who wore the Ant-man suit in Marvel Comics but the most popular from them is Dr. Hank Pym. He is a scientist who discovers the Pym particles (the size manipulating particles). One thing that most comic book readers cannot forget about Hank is beating his wife Janet Van Dyne. He is also a founding member of the Avengers but in the movie, he is an old scientist and considered as an urban legend because of his Ant-man missions while working for shield. Then the second Ant-man is Scott Lang, which is the protagonist in the movie. He is a thief who wants a shot for his redemption in order to give something good for his daughter, Cassie Lang (In the comics, Cassie became a part of Young Avengers and known as Stature).

HENSHIN!
The story is very simple and it tends to target audience that doesn’t have any idea about Ant-man. It’s about Scott Lang helping Dr. Pym to prevent the Ant-man shrinking technology to be replicated by Darren Cross because the technology might go in the wrong hands. The movie is fun to watch because of Michael Peña and his buddies’ crackling jokes that made us laugh all throughout. The difference of the movie from the comics is that Darren Cross, not by Hank Pym, portrays Yellow jacket and he is the villain in the story. I really like the appearance of the Yellowjacket costume especially the two stingers and the helmet that makes me think he could be a great kamen rider, Henshin Hahaha!



Concept Art for Wasp
Easter eggs are also present in the movie. Most notable part is how Anna Akana describes Spider-man in the last part of the movie, "We have a guy who can jump. A guy who can swing. A guy who can crawl up walls." This really implies that it is Spider-man. Also the OsCorp logo at the brief case in the presentation of Yellowjacket tho I'm not sure if it's really an OsCorp logo. The credit scenes tell us many things, first one is Hope Van Dyne as the Wasp. Hank Pym shows to his daughter the prototype wasp he and his wife working on and it's about damn time. The last credit scene shows that Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson found a badly beaten Bucky. It maybe vague for now but in my opinion Steve and Tony already have a faction and finding Bucky/ Winter Soldier should remain secret or might as well Stark will capture him. Enter Ant-man which could play a big role in keeping it a secret either by making them small as they stay hidden or as they accompany Bucky in a safe place. Lots of stuff could happen since in MCU they don't really follow the story in the comics.


Therefore, if you haven't watch Ant-man go give it a try and you may see things differently.
