Second trailer

I cannot claim to have NPOV, so I won't update the article myself, but the second trailer referred to on IGN is for Marvel Legends/Ultimate Alliance, and has nothing to do with MUO. (And what's in the MUO trailer has nothing to do with the game really, so speculation is probably a bad idea.) piman 03:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JUst revert my edits, if you want to. UnDeRsCoRe 20:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The other trailer listed on IGN is in fact for Marvel Ultimate Alliance and not Marvel Universe Online, the date it was posted to IGN, not to mention title, shows that it is not for MUO. Please, when reverting a part of a recent edit, only revert that part and not also all the other valid edits as well.

Character List!

Just To Let People Know I Decided To Make A Table Containing All The Characters From the Trailer And In Turn In The Game! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LloydyJr (talk • contribs)

Listen, just because they appeared in the trailer dosen't mean they'll appear in the game. UnDeRsCoRe 21:22, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The only characters that appear in the trailer are: Apocalypse, Captain America, Cyclops, Daredevil, Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus, Nick Fury, Galactus, the Hulk, Magneto, Nightcrawler, the Punisher, Quicksilver, a Sentinel, Spider-Man, the Thing and Wolverine. Please stop adding characters to this list.PureSoldier 03:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uatu and Cable are also visible - right near the end. (81.23.56.40 12:38, 11 December 2006 (UTC))[reply]

No, that would be editorialization, and not specificaly related to the content of this article. Info about that law suit is appropriate for either the City of Heroes, Cryptic Studios, or Marvel Comics and/or Marvel Entertainment articles.

Actually it would be appropriate to mention this but only if done in the correct context and with citation. It is, after all, an interesting turn of events in the history of development of the game. My suggestion would be to find a good published (not blog) reference that specifically talks about Marvel's announcement of Cryptic's involvement in the game. Then you can use that reference to include something like this: "Marvel announced in 2006 the development of the game in partnership with game developer Cryptic, a somewhat surprising choice at the time given a past lawsuit by Marvel against Cryptic over their City of Heroes game (see XXXX for details)." Include as a footnote reference the published source that says the same thing. That way you're not implying anything untoward about either Marvel or Cryptic, but you are correctly identifying interesting, verifiable historical twist relevant to that section.
