    We're kicking off season three of DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis by nominating people of colour from DC's comics! We're... a little lacking on that front when it comes to DC, to say the least.



    -Cyborg
    -Black Adam
    -Blue Beetle
    -Nubia (premiere costume for Wonder Woman)
    -John Stewart (premiere costume for Green Lantern)

    Ra's al Ghul might count, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

    As of now, only Static (of Static Shock fame) and Black Manta (Aquaman's arch-enemy) have been nominated, so there are still plenty of options.

    We've got season 3 roughly planned out for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis (we're ending it off with one extra character for both companies, so there will be ten characters total in the last season - four Marvel, four DC, and two guests), so today, we're voting on which themes we'll be using for the character rounds. We're voting on guest bosses between Shredder and Krang:



    On top of that, we're also coming up with movesets and stages for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles today.
    Megadoomer
    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating themes for the third and final DLC season today, along with nominating a boss from one of the guest series.

    While I figure we could keep going and going with this (there's no shortage of characters), three seasons with eight characters, four stages, and sixteen costumes each seems like a lot, realistically speaking, and we have to stop somewhere.
    Megadoomer
    We've added our next two guest characters for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis...



    ...Spawn and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

    This finishes off our second season of DLC!


    -Poison Ivy
    -The Sentry
    -Gorilla Grodd
    -Ultron
    -Lois Lane
    -Star-Lord
    -Spawn
    -the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    It was a controversial one at times, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
    Megadoomer
    Here's the second round of guest character nominations for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis:



    Top to bottom, left to right: Spawn, Kamen Rider Kuuga, Hellboy, Billy Butcher (The Boys), Optimus Prime, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Judge Dredd, WordGirl, the Fourth Doctor (Doctor Who), Megamind, Vriska (Homestuck), Deku (My Hero Academia), Luffy (One Piece)
    Megadoomer
    We're moving on to guest characters for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis - last time, we added Scott Pilgrim from Scott Pilgrim and Mark Grayson/Invincible from Invincible, so there's a lot of untapped potential for this round! (as long as they're comic book characters and/or superhero characters, they're eligible)

    We're also nominating arcade mode rivals for Lois Lane and Star-Lord, and voting on costumes for Star-Lord.
    Megadoomer
    We're nearing the end of season 2 for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, with the last Marvel character of the season being Star-Lord!



    We'll be doing the next batch of guest characters in the next few days, and shortly after that, we'll move on to the third and final season of DLC!

    Today, we're nominating a moveset and costumes for Star-Lord.

    Are we going to do an Ultimate edition with 8-10 brand new characters (please) 🥺

    Megadoomer
    Haha we could probably keep going with three more seasons of DLC and have 100 characters total (there are certainly more than enough options on both sides - we've barely even touched the various Lantern Corps., and there are a ton of Avengers that we could include like Hawkeye/Clint Barton, the Vision, Ant-Man, Black Widow, She-Hulk, etc., on top of countless other characters like Blade, Namor, Black Manta, Hawkgirl, various X-Men, and so on), but I figure that we need to stop somewhere.

    (plus, 24 DLC characters, 12 stages, and 48 costumes seems like it would be a lot as it is)

    I think the idea is atleast worth considering if there is demand for certain characters afterwards
    MvC3 did as such after all

    Today, for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating a cosmic Marvel character. Here's a list of cosmic events/comics that I found, in case that helps to inspire anyone; as of now, the only ones who qualify are Thanos, Rocket Raccoon (and Groot), and Captain Marvel. (and maybe Thor and Loki, if we're counting modern Thor as cosmic)
    Megadoomer
    Our newest character for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis is also one of our oldest characters, having been around since 1938. Predating even Batman, our next character on the roster is Lois Lane!



    She got in thanks to a really inventive moveset proposal by PinkFlare PinkFlare , and I'm glad she did. Much like Starro the Conqueror, Lois Lane (now there's a sentence fragment that I never thought I'd type) is a bit of an out-there pick, but one with a lot of history, and the out-there picks can allow for people to get really creative and keep the roster from feeling bland/safe/predictable. (this one mixed elements of Phoenix Wright's moveset in UMvC3, April O'Neil's moveset in recent TMNT/Nickelodeon games, and investigative journalism)
    Megadoomer
    Today for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating women from DC for the DLC roster. At the moment, we've got:



    -Wonder Woman
    -Harley Quinn
    -Raven
    -Zatanna
    -Black Canary
    -Catwoman
    -Power Girl
    -Poison Ivy
    -Nubia (premiere costume for Wonder Woman)
    -Superwoman (premiere costume for Wonder Woman)
    -Supergirl (premiere costume for Power Girl)
    (Big Barda's a part of Mister Miracle's moveset)

    Aside from them, any other DC woman qualifies.
    Megadoomer
    As a result of the vote for Avengers villains, we've added Ultron to DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis!



    Considering that he's been nominated as far back as the second Marvel character job, this felt overdue, and it's great to see more Marvel villains being added to the line-up! (we have Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus, and Loki, but other examples like Magneto and Venom haven't been considered fully villainous for a long time)
    Megadoomer
    Here are the nominees for the Avengers villain round of DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis:


    (top to bottom, left to right: Kang the Conqueror, Namor, Baron Zemo, Ultron, the Mandarin, M.O.D.O.K., Proctor)

    Proctor is an evil clone of the Avengers member Dane Whitman/the Black Knight.

    We're also nominating costume packs and continuing nominations for Gorilla Grodd's moveset.

    fogbadge fogbadge haha yeah; I figured he's the least-known of those options (since to my knowledge, he hasn't been adapted to other media), so an explanation couldn't hurt

    Champion of Hyrule Champion of Hyrule : here's what sticks out to me:



    Top to bottom, left to right: Animal Vegetable Mineral Man (DC), Big Wheel (Marvel), Fin Fang Foom (Marvel), Patsy Walker (Marvel) (not even the Hellcat version - the romance comics version), Bat-Mite (DC), the Atom (Al Pratt) (DC), Proctor (Marvel), Onomatopoeia (DC), Blue Marvel (Marvel), Space Cabbie (DC), Crimson Dynamo (Marvel), Iron Fist (Lin Lie) (Marvel), Crazy Jane (DC), Dogwelder (DC), Damien Darhk (DC), Ragdoll (DC), Gwenpool (Marvel), Hit-Monkey (Marvel)

    Full disclosure: I've nominated at least two of these.

    (Gwenpool feels like she's stretching it, since she's had several series, but I wanted to make it so both sides had an even amount. Iron Fist and the Atom are well-known, but Lin Lie is a very recent holder of the mantle, and when people say the Atom, they aren't going to think of the short guy who has no powers but is good at punching)

    Here are the nominees for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis's Flash villain round:



    (top to bottom, left to right: Godspeed, Black Flash, Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, Mirror Master, Gorilla Grodd, Cicada, King Shark)

    A Flash villain definitely felt overdue, given how varied his rogues gallery is.

    We're also nominating a DC stage today.
    Megadoomer
    We've added our Marvel Knights character for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis. It was a close one (a single vote could have completely changed the outcome, since seven of the eight characters could have possibly been in first or tied for it), but in the end, the winner was the Sentry, thanks to PinkFlare PinkFlare 's detailed/thorough write-up!



    Today, we're nominating a boss character for Marvel, and the moveset job for Poison Ivy is still open.
    Megadoomer
    Here are the nominees for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis's Marvel Knights round!



    Top to bottom, left to right: Shang-Chi, the Punisher, Ant-Man, Namor, Black Widow, Blade, The Sentry, Moon Knight

    We're voting on those today, along with nominating costumes for Poison Ivy.

    To be honest, I'm a little surprised that Black Bolt didn't even get nominated. (admittedly, his dialogue wouldn't be much to write home about, and I probably could have nominated him myself but I went with Ant-Man instead)

    We're kicking off the second season of DLC for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis with Poison Ivy!



    Today, we're nominating characters who appeared in the Marvel Knights imprint (a "mature readers" imprint, though not to the extent of the MAX comics), which runs the gamut from the Inhumans to the Punisher to an Ant-Man and the Wasp Christmas special.

    We're also nominating movesets for Poison Ivy.
    Megadoomer
    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're voting on a Batman character to add out of the following:




    (top to bottom, left to right: Red Hood, Batwoman, Poison Ivy, Clayface, Talon, Black Mask, Batgirl, Scarecrow, the Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Bat-Mite)

    We got a lot of nominations for this round; it's understandable, since it's Batman, but there were a lot that I didn't expect. (though I was hoping someone would nominate Bat-Mite, even if it was so I had an excuse to reference Peacemaker's description of him as "a two foot tall interdimensional imp who stans Batman." I can't believe that he's canon in the DCEU)

    The Riddler and Mister Freeze are other highlights that I didn't wind up voting for.

    With October coming up, I'm thinking about movies to watch for this month; I'm not much of a horror movie fan, but I find that I'm generally fine with older horror movies. (at least, when I'm watching them in the comfort of my own home)

    So far, my plans are...

    -Friday the 13th Part 2
    -Friday the 13th Part 3 (I'm interested to see the ones with human Jason)
    -Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (mostly because it seems so ridiculous - might just stop at 2 and 3, though)
    -Halloween 4 (I've seen 1, 2, and 3, along with the latest two)
    -Scream 2 (when it comes to that series, I've only ever watched the first Scream)
    -Scary Movie (technically not a scary movie, but I don't think I've ever seen it)

    I might also watch Halloween Ends, though I'm going to wait for reviews for that one; I liked Halloween (2018), though watching it in a theater had me on edge like nothing I'd ever seen, but Halloween Kills was okay. (I watched that at home after seeing how bad the reviews were)

    My problem with it was that Laurie was side-lined and stuck in a hospital bed for the whole movie, meaning that the conflict boiled down to Michael Myers (a remorseless killer) vs. an angry mob where most of them made the dumbest decisions possible, so there wasn't really anyone to root for. It had some good moments, but I was glad that I didn't see it in a theater. (I'm hoping Halloween Ends is more along the line of the 2018 one, though going by the speculation that I've seen based on the trailers, I'm not sure if it will be)

    Infinity Sorcerer Infinity Sorcerer - I've seen Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, at least. By my understanding, Evil Dead 1 and the pseudo-remake are more straight-up horror, while I prefer the comedy side of the franchise.

    I know Ash vs. the Evil Dead is on Netflix, at least in Canada, so I can watch some episodes of that.

    We're wrapping up the first season of DLC in DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis with a Marvel legacy character round, and here are our nominees!



    Top to bottom, left to right: Elektra, Iron Fist (Lin Lie), Luke Cage, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Falcon (or Captain America - either way, it's Sam Wilson), Winter Soldier, Hawkeye (Clint Barton), Ant-Man (Hank Pym)

    We're also nominating a DC boss for a boss challenge mode.
    Megadoomer
    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we've added Power Girl as a Justice Society representative!



    Somewhat surprisingly, she's only the second Kryptonian (and third Superman character, if we're counting the New Gods as separate) in the roster.

    We're currently working our way through the costumes for the DLC characters, and tomorrow, we'll be nominating Marvel legacy characters (characters who have taken on an identity that was previously used by someone else, like Barry Allen or Wally West as the Flash, or Sam Wilson or Bucky Barnes as Captain America - here's a (likely incomplete) list of examples from Marvel)
    Megadoomer
    We're voting on which member of the Justice Society to include today for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, along with nominating costumes for Invincible.



    (Top to bottom, left to right: Hawkgirl, Power Girl, Mister Terrific, Stargirl, the Atom, Cyclone)

    In addition, we added Angstrom Levy from Invincible as a boss thanks to PinkFlare PinkFlare 's detailed nomination, and we're voting on who to add between Galactus or the Beyonder (or if we'll add both of them).
    Megadoomer
    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're voting for bosses for a Boss Challenge mode, out of the following:

    As well, we're nominating members of the Justice Society to include as DLC. They're a team that I know very little about, so I'm interested to see who gets chosen.
    Megadoomer
    For DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating women from Marvel for the DLC line-up. As of now, that line-up consists of the following:

    Today for DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, we're nominating guest characters for the roster! Comic book characters or superhero characters are eligible for this, and the top two will be included.

    We've also finished off the movesets for the base roster, and we're almost done with the base roster's costumes. (just Cyborg, the Wasp, Darkseid, and Thanos left)
    Megadoomer
    We've added Black Adam to DC vs. Marvel: Infinity Crisis, just in time for the new trailer!



    The timing worked out pretty well, all things considered. We'll be nominating movesets for him over the next few days.

    In addition, we're voting on an X-Men DLC character out of the following options:



    Top to bottom, left to right: Nightcrawler, Rogue, Psylocke, Gambit, Cable, Iceman, Magik
