In terms of entertainment, the three companies that own the most pieces of media are Viacom, Time Warner, and Disney.

-looks at the list of top grossing paramount films-

... A fair amount of those are actually owned by Disney. [lol] I can't keep track of distribution rights anymore copyright is confusing.

You are not alone.

[up]I assume that list has the MCU Phase 1 movies originally distributed by Paramount?

I’m more talking stuff like Star Trek or all the Nickelodeon stuff.

I'm wondering, how much of MGM-related stuff does WB own, and how much isn't WB owned?

I would actually throw the game money (I think this is gonna be free to play.) if they threw in anything related to Megas XLR. It won't happen, but if they do it I'll do it. Also that original character looks kinda like Furok from Magi-Nation.

here i wonder if we will see more original characters

I mostly doubt it, Reindog feels like a character made up just for a moveset because the devs probably struggled to come up with a support moveset for an already existing character.

Yeah these roles are gonna cause trouble. Most characters are gonna be bruisers

As a side note, Kuro pitched his own take on how to adapt Ben Tennyson for MultiVersus.

  • For starters, he proposed that Ben should be the base character who cycles between three aliens, and having one additional alien as a special attack. Essentially, take a page from Ben's mechanics from Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion.(4:29)
  • He believes that Omniverse Ben should be the default representation, as it's "Ben at his prime" after a four series journey.
    • Personally, I'd also agree that Derrick Wyatt's designs would fit well with the stylized humans in this game. Of course, adding UAG, OG and 2016 skins would be nice too.
  • Aliens:
    • Rath is Kuro's first pick, as having a beloved brawler with John DiMaggio already in the cast helps.(6:20)
    • Feedback is Kuro's second pick. Also voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, he covers Ben's ranged abilities. (8:37)
    • "Flying Alien #3"/Astrodactyl note , who's triggered by double jumping. They can either do multiple "jumps" or glide in the air. Astrodactyl specifically has access to a close ranged whip for downward landing attacks.(9:47)
    • Either Atomix or Alien X will serve as Ben's ultimate attack. (11:36)
  • Alternate Skin/Colors:
    • Hoodie (Omniverse)
    • UAF (Omniverse flashback)
    • Albedo

Ben's a popular character so my guess is they'll chop him up into several slots, like Samus and Zelda. Although he has so many forms that each slot could still be 2-3 aliens.

Just finished watching that video. Personally, I think it's be a great way to incorporate Ben and the aliens while not being too busy for the game and the developers.

(sidenote, I like how he stresses people should be vocal about their want for Ben while still being respectful to the MVS devs. You never really see a lot of people think about that)

Scorpion and Sub-Zero will surely be the first Mortal Kombat characters, but if there are more than those two, I think Cole Young from the recent movie has a pretty good chance, because he's someone Warner Bros created themselves who wasn't in the games.

Freakazoid is my most wanted. I imagine he would play like Deadpool in Marvel VS Capcom 3, using the screen UI as part of his moveset and generally acknowledging that he's in a game. He could even have a move where he summons Cosgrove, who says "Hey, cut it out" and stuns the opposing team.

I would also like a Martian as a playable character, though the rayguns couldn't be one-hit kills for obvious balance reasons.

Do you think they should release fighters, arenas, & other stuff on one pack?

Could be themed around a specific property. Could take a month or two.

[up]Probably won't have one pack centered around one property, more likely to have a mix of properties to keep more people engaged, in case not all players are into that property.

Aside from Lion-O, I think Cheetara and Mumm-Ra have the best chances of getting in as far as TC characters go. Maybe Panthro, but not Tygra or the Wilys.

As far as moveset, I'd imagine Lion-O playing a bit it like Link or Ike from Smash as far as base. For special moves, I'd include a laser beam from the Eye of Thundera and grappling hook claws from the Claw Shield. The 2011 version could also use an energy shield, but classic Lion-O didn't have that afaik.

I think maybe a Sight Beyond Sight move could work like Shulk's Vision counter from Smash, even if that's not quite how SBS works in the series. Of course, some kind of lightning attack would be good too.

Oh, and here's a unique mechanic I had in mind; certain moves can cause Lion-O to shout "Thunder!" Every time he does so, he powers up his attacks, up to three times. Once he has a full stack, he can unleash a super move that summons the rest of the Thundercats, or something like that, and it drains the meter. Maybe even a move that just lets you stand still and charge up, but it takes a while and leaves you vulnerable, something like R. Mika's V-skill from SFV.

The meter is represented as the Sword of Omens. When empty, it's short and asleep. With every level, the blade grows longer and the Eye of Thundera opens wider. At max level it's surging with power and the Eye turns into the TC logo. Maybe the sword Lion-O's model uses ingame also grows longer and extends the range of his attacks. The charge wouldn't last forever though. You can spend charge early on certain attacks to strengthen them, or lose it if you get hit enough times.

Speaking 80's relic action heroes, don't WB still own He-Man or that hasn't been the case for a while?

They apparently gave up the rights in 2009, according to Google.

Hmm, that's disappointing to know. Would've been nice to see He-Man in a huge crossover game.

I could see other announcer packs like Wiz and Boomstick, the Powerpuff Girls Narrator, the Mortal Kombat Announcer, and probably some others.

Considering one of the leaked characters and their past history when it comes to announcing things, I wouldn't be surprised if Morty was an announcer.

I believe Batman is one of the confirmed custom announcers. I'm sure everyone else on the roster probably has announcer lines too.

They already did that back in MK 11.

Both Shao Kahn & Johnny Cage were optional announcers.
