The film came out in 2014, and the game released in 2016. Ik its main focus is on the AVENGERS, but there were side missions for other characters and DLC, especially for Antman. I recall nebula and Mantis being present, but what of the rest? They even added Civil War when that came out as a bonus, so what the hay?
Lego Marvel 1 and 2 have them all. First game had them as a teaser for the sequel, where you unlock them at the end of the game. In the sequel, you get most if not all in the first level, and then gradually you unlock the rest
Ik, but Iām just saying this game revolves around the first 2 phases of the mcu. Guardians were a part of that. They just looked over them and added ANTMAN! They invited Pac-Man, heās not even part of this game!
They have may not been added to the Lego Avengers game because they wanted to focus on Avengers characters or those adjacent to the Avengers. Mantis was on the Avengers before joining the guardians in the comics, and Nebula was an Avengers adjacent space villain, that is most likely why they are there. U also bring up the argument about Ant-Man being there but not the guardians, well Ant-Man is an Avengers character so it would be weird not to include him. I get that the game focuses on the MCU films but the character roster is heavily lifted from the comics.
He isnāt an avenger in this iteration. Ant Man came out in 2015, and never said anything about him being a member. Hank was a former member of shield, but thatās it. His only connection to the avengers were later on in civil war.
Yeah and the game came out in 2016 after Ant-Man and got dlc for both the Ant-Man film and Civil War. So therefore Ant-Man = Avenger. Also the game's roster includes a lot of comic avengers characters as well and Ant-Man was an original Avenger in the comcis so of course he's in the game. The guardians were never Avengers by this time and even after Infinity War only Rocket and Nebula become "official" temporary members in Endgame.
Bro, I said strictly for the MCU. I never discarded Hank and Janet as members in general, IM SAYING for this iteration, which is mostly based off the MCU, THEY ARENT!
You keep bringing up Ant-Man but it makes way more sense that he's in it.
He is both heavily tied to the Avengers in the comics and he featured in Civil War (which is an Avengers movie in all but name) which released only a few months after the game did. It would be more surprising if he wasn't in it.
The Guardians didn't have as much connections to the Avengers in either comics or movies at this point, there was no reason for them to be in an Avengers game.
They skipped a handful of MCU movies with Avengers. Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk. They didnāt really need to do Guardians especially with how it wasnāt necessarily important to the Avengers movies at the time.
Those ones were direct Avenger films featuring Avengers characters. Guardians only connections to the MCU at the time were the infinity stones and Thanos. While important to the overall Infinity Saga, they werenāt the most important aspect of the MCU from 2008-2015. The Avengers and their relationship were the focal point of the MCU at the time.
Iāll give you that, but again, Antman. Thereās side missions that they couldāve given them there own little mission. They had dlc for character missions. At the very least they couldāve had their own. Just saying.
Antman still fits the Avenger focus more than the Guardians. Even before Civil War.
The dlc and side missions were even closer to the Avengers(or at least New York) than including the Guardians.
Plus TT had to have known they were gonna give the Guardians a spotlight in Marvel Superheroes 2 given Avengers came out only a year prior to MSH2. So they didnāt need to be in Avengers.
Thereās DLC, again. Also side missions. Couldāve recapped the first movie, as they did with Winter Soldier, Dark World, and Iron Man 3. And IG Antman too, because I donāt remember that one. Also Agents of Shield.
The guardians movie hadn't come out at that point, that's why the comic versions are in it. It heavily references the first avengers movie and the MCU up til that point, which again is why the guardians arnt main characters in the first game
You put the Lego marvel superheroes logo there, but you're actually talking about Lego marvels avengers. My bad. As the games are only solely focusing on the avengers movies, they chose not to add the guardians as they were still too new to modern audiences. I knew people who didn't even know guardians had even come out until the second was released. They don't have any greater connection with the avengers until like infinity war, so it probably wouldn't have made much sense to have them in it
Maybe. I think if somehow they made another Marvel game and just chose one team (other than Avengers), X Men is the better game. Itās like a universe in itself.
Nah, LMSH2 already leans a bit too heavily into the MCU Guardians. To the jarring degree that you comic characters running around like Goliath and Iron fist and thereās freaking Chris Pratt with his Walkman and everyone acts like itās the same universe. Then even recreate the intro of Guardians 2. What more do you want
Also, Ant-man is a founding Avenger? How is he an kit of line inclusion
And thatās your prerogative. I however, as a Pre MCU comic fan primarily, get a little miffed when a game which is presented as being based on Comics has movie stuff plastered over it. I would have loved to play as the Abnett & Lanning guardians teased at the end of LMSH. Or classic Thor
They should definitely make Lego Guardians of the Galaxy. Especially since we saw Thanos wearing Star-Lordās headphones and playing his cassette player.
That was a game in development around the time TSS was in development but got canceled alongside a LEGO Disney game. After that mess, TT got limited to WB IPs for future LEGO games.
Canceled games doesnāt usually meant put on hold until a later date. So I wouldnāt hold my breath either game goes back into development. Especially since Disney was canceled due to numerous issues not tied to WB exclusivity. Guardians was also too early into development with the limitation came so thereās not much to go back to.
Only a thousand. But I still believe that one day, they will be back in development. Even if it meant to be done years after. No matter how many years, I always have faith that we will enjoy games like this one day in the future. I believe it.
Couple franchises I think is a good fit for a Lego game would be Lego kung fu panda, ninja turtles, transformers, Lego dragon ball, demon slayer, Lego avatar last air bender, Lego kaiju, fast n furious
There will always be one person on the sub who will start listing what IPs they want LEGO games for when the original post never asked about that at all.
Sure, just funny how often it happens on the sub. OP asks a specific question and someone veers entirely away from the question just to say what IPs they want. Itās not like posts about IPs donāt get made all the time. One got posted like yesterday.
I just see it as unnecessary to veer wildly off topic. Itās not like the games will magically get made caused you commented on an unrelated post.
