Why they keep making Chinese outfits for American heroes?
first it was Doctor Strange and Squirrel girl. recently they added Mantis and Moon knight too.
who's next? a Chinese attire for Captain America?

with this game being made in China i think it's an act to promote Chinese culture.
I hope whoever is in charge of Marvel license stops them from making a Chinese thing out of everything.

otherwise by the end of season 1 u will see a squad full of Chinese outfits. it'll feel like you're playing a Chinese MMO and it really kills the vibe and atmosphere of Marvel.

But... Dr. Strange? Dude may have been born in America, but he's spent the majority of his life in other countries, other universes, and other planes of reality. Likewise, Mantis isn't from Earth.

Really weird to complain about it from that angle.

Pretty sure Mantis is actually Vietnamese based on her original introduction to Marvel.

Been a long time since I read comics though.

She is, but she was raised by magical aliens. Comic mantis. Aka the character no one cared about until the movie came out.
I think the one in game is based on the movies, which is a completely different character with a completely different origin story, different powers and different biology (ie comic mantis was literally a prostitute in her origin for some reason, despite being an immortal superhuman with an entire society based on worshipping her, new mantis is not)

Oh yea she was mind-whiped as soon as she became human legal age, became a prostitute so she can be unmindwhiped and have sex with the plant she was groomed for.
No wonder no one liked this garbage-ass character until the movies entirely rewrote her

I thought she was mind-wiped and that's what led to her becoming a sex-worker & waiter / barmaid. The idea was for her to go out and learn about the world or something, and I suppose that was the route the original writer went with.

I remember him not being a fan of MCU Mantis. Then again, I don't think her original version would work for a film franchise gunning for a 12 or PG-13 rating at most.

Because america couldn't make a game with good character designs and skins people would actually pay for.

I hope this helps.
