* I can justify the lack of flight, it only flew once, at it was fairly uncontrollable and ended in a crash, but why can the Iron Man Mark 1 not melt gold LEGO, when it's primary weapon in the film were flamethrowers?

** It was basically a plug for the upcoming (August 2014) Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy, advertised as a "superheroes in space" story, which Marvel has big hopes for. It is not yet explicitly known to be tied in to the rest of the MCU.

* During "Nuff Said"'s opening cutscene, Deadpool claimed he "thought one of them [Vulture or Howard the Duck] was dead." Which egghead (great, now he's GotMeDoingIt) is he talking about?

** Also, Doom isn't a lackey doing the whim of others. Had Doom been left with his own will, he would have subverted the plans for his own gains. We're talking about a guy that tricked Dr. Strange because Doom doesn't ask for help. And even that was still partly a trick for Doom to gain more power.

* It's easy to understand why M.O.D.O.K.'s acronym was changed to "designed only for conquest" (both NeverSayDie and the fact that it just suits him better), but then why is it still spelled with a K instead of a C?

* The subtitles spell M.O.D.O.K. with a K, yet he claims he's designed only for ''conquest''.
** This has been done before ('K for konquest') in other Marvel adaptations. In all probability, it's because they don't want to have a character shout 'I am designed only for killing!' in an age 7+ game.
** M.O.D.O.K.'s name is usually left unexplained or his last initial is changed when he appears in kid-friendly adaptations. So here it's not much of a surprise.
** It's also related to his goals. In a lot of works with that change, his plans are more on the side of domination and power then murder, so it does make some sense.
** (OP) i completely agree, but you're all missing the point. My question is if he's "Designed Only for Conquest" then why is it M.O.D.O.K. instead of M.O.D.O.C.?
** Again, kid-friendly censorship. The character's name is actually spelled with a "K", so they wanted that to be accurate.

** Yeah the scene is repeated in VideoGame/LEGOMarvelSuperheroes2 (albeit with new voice actors and the MCU costumes, as well as cutting t Kang's attack instead of Black Panther), so it was a SequelHook

* All of the prisoners to escape The Raft are defeated and re-captured... except Carnage, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse who can only be assumed to still be at large after the defeat of Doctor Doom.]]
** Given the character we're talking about here, that might be Fridge Horror as well.

*** It's very much the opposite of cool. If anything a major anti-climax.

* For an international intelligence organization, why can't S.H.I.E.L.D. seriously figure out that ComicBook/NormanOsborn is the Green Goblin?
** RuleOfFunny + StatusQuoIsGod
** Norman is smarter than he looks.
* Why is Bruce Banner always in Hulk mode, even in cutscenes where it makes no sense, like when he's helping Tony Stark with research and smashing all the computers he attempts to use?
** RuleOfFunny. It's a LEGO game and the prime target audience is about age 10. It makes older tropers laugh too.
** Plus, Marvel has been doing that a lot in cartoons for the last decade.
** Good point. The Avengers animated series seemingly leaves him in Hulk mode 24/7, for reasons unknown.
* Why do Doc Ock and Toad have super-senses?
** It's tough to say with Toad, but if you look closely at Ock's animation when the senses go off, it's his ''arms'' that are looking around. It's an ability similar to what Ock had in Film/SpiderMan2.
* TheStinger. I didn't get what was happening.
** It was basically a plug for the upcoming (August 2014) Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy, advertised as a "superheroes in space" story, which Marvel has big hopes for. It is not yet explicitly known to be tied in to the rest of the MCU.
** Yeah, that much I got. But what was the "other reason" they were there?
** My apologies. Having watched it again, they don't reveal the "other reason" they need Fury's help. I'm going to call it a probable SequelHook.
* Does the game establish which Venom it is?
** Nope. Widow asks Spidey who Venom's current host is, but he doesn't answer. Use your imagination.
* Why so many pointless joke characters while leaving out serious characters that would have been fun to play? What, Howard the Duck was a vital and important character, but Nightcrawler wasn't, even though teleporting would have been a cool new ability to integrate? Then, Aunt May and Gwen Stacy and other civilian characters with no real skills, but not, say, Mockingbird or any other badass normals? I'm OK with including these characters, but why exclude others when you have room for these clowns?
** Actually, teleporting ''is'' a mechanic in the game for characters like Loki who can't stretch or shrink their way through grates.
** Because it's a LEGO game. Putting in joke characters is mandatory. They were well aware that they were going to get some "hey why wasn't x in it" complaints.
** Plus, Gwen adds in some VideoGameCrueltyPotential. This trooper had already [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied knocked her off the Brooklyn Bridge as Green Goblin.]]
** I think it's also a matter of equal representation. Howard is the star of his own series, whereas Nightcrawler is yet another member of a series that's already heavily represented.
* [[spoiler:Why did Loki need to mind-control Doctor Doom? He was already doing exactly what he wanted. Did they just want the game to shaft Doom more than it already had?]]
** Loki is the kind who might just do that because he can, even if he didn't need to. Also, it would stop Doom changing his mind.
* Was the game ''designed'' so Toad's finisher could never actually be used on a person, only right after they die?
** RuleOfCool, my friend.
