So Why is there a Game of Thrones Character in This?

[Everybody do the flop]

Pretty sure Game of Thrones wasn't an animated series or even ONCE aired on Cartoon Network. You could argue the same for the DC cast, but at least they still had cartoons air on CN.

BTW, are there really only going to be 13 playable characters? Also will there be alt costumes, so I'm not forced to look at ugly New 52 Harley Quinn?

Game of Thrones is an HBO show.

HBO, DC and Cartoon Network are subsidiaries of Warner Bros.

They have confirmed they will add more characters.

The Steam page shows multiple Harley Quinn outfits.

Yeah but it's not a cartoon and the rest have been in cartoons... by that logic 2 Broke Girls could be added because it's ALSO owed by WB.

You dont make sense, no where has anyone said live action characters are off limits.

It's just a weird choice, since the rest have been in animation.

Yeah it could be. Live action stuff is eligible.

I am all for non-fighting game characters being added they already shown with shaggy that they can give them a moveset.

I am glad they are making this a Warner Bros game and not just a Cartoon Network game, don't get me wrong I could write a full roaster of just CN characters but if we take a look at the last all cartoon fighting game Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl you will see that it did okay at launch but not even a few months later you can barely find 10 people online at any given time. At least with the diversity of characters it might draw in enough fans from each fandom to actually sustain an online fighting game for months if not years.

its still weird. game of thrones is an adult tv show filled stuff that has no place in a game full of cartoons for little kids. i think her inclusion is cool but i would think its a weird decision. also game of thrones was ruined people hate what they did with it.

If you think this game is for kids you're on something. It's a nostalgia trip for 20-30 year old fighter game players.

Yeah half the cartoons in this game have stopped airing on Cartoon Network years if not decades ago and even the more "modern" ones like Steven Universe or Adventure Time have garnered more of young adult audience by covering more hard hitting topics.

Except that the rest of the cast features characters seen in kids shows...

I don't see any problem with that.

It's a crossover fighting game featuring warner bros IPs. None of the official marketing materials ever mentioned Multiversus as only having kid-friendly characters. You seem to be the only one imposing limitations on what they can include on the roster.

Because the focus becomes a mess if they add in too many different IPs. I doubt many CN fans like Game of Thrones and I doubt many Game of Thrones fans like DC. This way you get a fractured fan base who wants more of X, Y or Z characters and thinks the rest are just a waste of slots.

You're jumping the gun here. We only have 12 characters announced so far and they're only from a total of 6 franchises. There's room for a lot more. Besides, if you think there needs to be a tight focus on the consistency between represented IPs, you're looking at the wrong game and the wrong genre. Smash Bros. had Solid Snake, Ryu, Bayonetta, and Pikachu in the same game and it wasn't an issue. The whole thread seems like a you problem that is being projected onto a nonexistent fanbase.

Also, you're severely out of the loop if you think there's not a lot of overlap between fans of the franchises represented in the game. Geek culture is no longer as niche as it was in the 80s/90s. Cartoons, medieval fantasy, and superhero genres are all mainstream now and it's hard to find fans that like one and hate the others (except for elitist gatekeepers, but they've always been the minority).

Smash has way more fighters than this game will ever have and it still focuses on one thing: characters that premiered in video games.

And this game focuses on one thing: characters that belong to Warner
