What’s on the Kickstarter?

So let’s start out by talking about what is on the page, which you can see here. There is more on this crowdfunding page than their other Kickstarter campaigns, which I think is worth calling out a few things. Mainly that, before, add-ons, there are three products that you can back. Some of them are just expansions and there is a core box.

Core Box

The Core Box is almost a must buy if you’re going to back the Kickstarter. Though, you can always mix and match any of the Dice Throne content together. But the core box is where you will get most of the new characters. And what they were announcing new characters for mainly.

If you want to play as the X-Men, you now can. You’ll have a choice of Rogue, Gambit, Storm, Iceman, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Psylocke, or Wolverine. And they have a nice range of difficulty on characters that you can play which they nicely call out now. So if you want more of the Dice Throne game, or you want to start playing it because you love the X-Men, this is a great spot to start.

Missions

Now, Dice Throne is traditionally a competitive game. It’s called Battle Yahtzee by some, though there is much more control over the dice than in Yahtzee. But Dice Throne is not only a competitive game. There are two ways that you can play it cooperatively. The first was Dice Throne Adventures which came out a few years ago. And now Missions is going to offer some of that cooperative game play, but I believe in a shorter game than the Dice Throne Adventures Campaign.

This is the big area of the game that I want to look into. What I like while looking at it is that the villains vary a lot. And the Missions don’t seem to just be X-Men focused. Yes, you have Mister Sinister. But you also battle Thanos. Thanos is going to be more of a Marvel Dice Throne versus Marvel Dice Throne X-Men villain. Though, if you go by the comics, some of the X-Men play a big role in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline.

Deadpool

Finally, there is Deadpool. He isn’t really the last thing, there are add-ons as well. But Deadpool as a playable character coming in his own premium box. I say premium because he comes with the miniature and acrylic tokens that you can upgrade for the other characters. Downside is, if you want it all matching, he doesn’t come with a cardboard standee and he doesn’t come with cardboard tokens.

Deadpool is mainly just going to be another character you can mix in to fight with or against. Now he isn’t a Missions villain, though that’d be great, but for the base competitive game, he’ll be able to be played. What always worries me with Deadpool in games is that he often is taken too meta and it’s either too strong or too annoying to play with.

What Level to Back

So, I want to talk about this because I am still waffling on it. The question I’m asking myself isn’t about the core box, I want more characters always. It isn’t about Deadpool, against more characters. And I do have concerns with Deadpool. Is he going to be broken because he’s too meta or too annoying? I don’t know, but I want to give him a try.

Missions is the part that I don’t know about. Why? Because do I want to play it as a cooperative game. I thought that I did with Dice Throne Adventures. But when I got it, I realized, I didn’t want a big campaign. I like Dice Throne as that head to head battling game, or multiplayer battling game. And Dice Throne Adventures, it might have been great, but it was a much longer mode of the game. So I never felt like playing it.

Missions, on the other hand, I need to look into more. If it offers some of that cooperative play with out too much extra work to play the bad guys, then I’m more intrigued. If I can sit down and play a game in an hour, that is reasonable, even an hour and a half. I just don’t want a lot of sessions.

But, I like the acrylic tokens as well. So if I were to drop backing with Missions, it’d be easier to pick those up. Right now, I don’t have acrylic tokens added as an add-on. If I were to get rid of Missions, I’d likely add those on instead, so it isn’t a money saving move.

Marvel Dice Throne X-Men

Like I said, this isn’t a back of brick. If you want to know if you should back it, you likely already know. Either you back it because you know you love Dice Throne, you back it because you love X-Men, or you know you don’t like either enough to back it and won’t. It’s a bit simpler than some because this is a game that has been out for a long time.

Man vs Meeple has coverage on it if you want to see how the characters play. Maybe you like Dice Throne but you don’t know if you need more characters. Then checking out a video or two is going to help let you know. But for me, it’s always fun to have more. And with everything, I think I figured it out, there are 35 different combinations. So I’ll be trying out new ones for a long time.

Which character do you look forward to playing most? For me, it’s Gambit and Rogue.

And for the main topic, we dive into Mutants and the X-Men. How do we want them introduced into the MCU, what makes the most sense or what is easiest. And what story do we want told first when we do get mutants. Plus, even more with what villain would work the best for a mutant focused big bad.

All that and our normal what comics are we reading, so an update on that. And Greg’s patented Challenge Question of the week. If you were to restart the MCU right now, who would you start it with and why?

Comments or Questions

So, we answered the question of who we want to see in the MCU. Who do you want to see show up in the MCU? Who is the top character that you want to see and how would you bring them into the MCU, especially characters that thus far haven’t been announced?

And how do you feel about the Chris Hemsworth news? Obviously sad what is being reported, but how should that affect Thor going forward and how do you want Marvel to handle it?

And with a massive multiversial event coming up with The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars at the end of Phase 6, it got me thinking, what characters do I really want to see in the MCU that we haven’t so far. I am going to skip characters who might be coming up soon that we know about. The Hood for example in Ironheart might have made the list. The Fantastic Four would be obvious choices but we know we’re getting them. So without much more writing, let’s get to the list.

Top 10 Marvel Characters I Want in the MCU

10 – Squirrel Girl

Almost didn’t make my list. Squirrel Girl is such a meme at this point that it feels odd to put her on there. But she is a fun character and one of those grounded characters that works well. I’d love to see her and some other ground level characters work together. Once Ms Marvel is done with Captain Marvel, team her up with Squirrel Girl and Spider-Man and make a NY street level movie out of it.

9 – Beta Ray Bill

A character who is already hinted at in the MCU is Beta Ray Bill, but no casting and as far as I know, no plans. Beta Ray Bill’s face, or something similar, was on the Grandmasters tower with Hulks face. I’m glad they didn’t try and squeeze him into Thor: Ragnarok plot. But eventually Chris Hemsworth will be done with Thor. And instead of killing him off or recasting him, why not have a horse faced alien take over?

8 – Beast

This list could have just been X-Men and mutants. We’re obviously waiting for them to come up, but one of my favorites that I wanted to talk about is Beast. Beast, I like him because he’s like Smart Hulk without the other personality. But unlike Smart Hulk where eventually there will be smashing, Beast really never wants to use his strength. So it’d feel like a character with different motivations and I think he’s key to forming an X-Men team.

7 – Magik

I’m not sure if New Mutants technically came out after Disney bought 20th Century Fox, it was in the works for so long, but I want Magik in the MCU. We’ve had hints of things like other realms and demonic realms, so bring in Magik. Someone who has the ability to go through realms because, well, she has a lot of story connections to there. Even learning her dark magic in Limbo. Plus her character with a giant sword that can slice through dimensions is great.

6 – Amadeus Cho

Amadeus Cho, a hulk, and a character that I wish would have shown up in She Hulk but I don’t think will. But it’d be another chance to introduce another Hulk into the MCU. And one who isn’t blasted with gamma radiation, but instead using his smarts comes up with nanotechnology that allows him to control the gamma radiation and when he changes. Yes, we already do have a lot of Hulks, and I think we end She Hulk with one more, but Amadeus Cho is different enough, I think to work.

5 – Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider I hope we see sooner rather than later. I really enjoy him as a character and even Nicholas Cage’s Ghost Rider was fun. This would again like Magik tie into a story line with Mephisto or some other demon. Since Ghost Rider gets his powers that way as well. I really don’t care which version we get, I’d just like to see him show up and work with Moon Knight or Blade.

4 – Brother Voodoo

Brother Voodoo was actually rumored at one point in time to be in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. He wasn’t and I’m okay with that. How do you bring him in, well, I want a Werewolf by Night, coming out so soon, style special with him. Give me in 2023 or 2024 a creepy Halloween special where Brother Voodoo is investigating something in the Louisiana Bayou, maybe even teamed up with a character higher on my list. It’d be a great vibe and he’s a character who takes the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme as well, which I think would be interesting to have Doctor Strange passed by again.

3 – Doctor Doom

I thought about, much like with X-Men stuffing the list full of villains. There are a lot of good ones out there, but Doctor Doom is the one who made it onto the list and very high on the list. I suspect we’ll see him first of any of these characters. I think he might even show up as soon as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but more like Fantastic Four. But Doom is such a great villain that I want him now.

I’ve talked on some a bit about how I’d bring them in, but I want Doom to already exist in the world. No origin story, but during the blip, he creates Latveria, the country he rules. He uses the political unrest to cut out a little country for himself. And when people come back, he greats them with open arms, but eventually we figure out that he is really a villain. Give me all that backstory before The Fantastic Four film, please.

2 – Rogue

Final two are X-Men and both of them could team up with Brother Voodoo for the Halloween special that I want to happen. Rogue is a great character mainly because she is very powerful. But with her power there is a massive drawback. There are rumors, unfounded, that she’ll be in The Marvels. There is a storyline where she drains Captain Marvel’s powers and leaves her in a coma, I doubt that they do that, though. But put her down south with my top character, put them on the run, and let them be somewhat shady good guys dealing with weird things, I’m cool with that.

1 – Gambit

My number one is Gambit. I just find his powers awesome. But to go along with that, I think he often has very interesting storylines. Gambit is a character who I wouldn’t mind seeing more of an origin for. Mainly because like an Ant-Man he goes from criminal to hero. But to get that full story and to get to see him as a criminal I think would be good. Ant-Man/Scott Lang, always seems like he was on the right side. What I like about Gambit is that he was on the wrong side and then comes over.

Plus, he’s a perfect character to provide a bit of levity to a Halloween special. Team him up with Brother Voodoo, Gambit is probably in over his head. But he’s the type of character who always tries to make it work even when the odds are against him.

Who Would Be On Your List?

Let me know who would make your list? If I had more of a connection to stuff like Jessica Jones or Luke Cage, I could see maybe having put them on the list. I like them as characters in the comics. But not enough and I need to watch the Defenders shows that they were in on Netflix. And there are some characters I’d like to see make more MCU debuts like Miles Morales, but he’s with Sony.

So this is my list, definitely could have come up with more. And I do think a number of them, will be coming in the next handful of years. But what that’ll look like, I’m not sure.
