Since WB Entertainment owns the LEGO video game publishing rights and DC Comics, no one believed we would get any sort of Marvel-based video game. That’s when LEGO Marvel Super Heroes dropped, shocking everyone while providing a really fun LEGO game about Marvel’s beloved comic book characters. TT Games did their best to encompass all the big names in some fashion, but when your character base is nearly 500+ people, certain characters will be overlooked. Thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe literally raking it in, both with cash and audience, as well as the Netflix TV shows, many of these overlooked characters could get some of the limelight they deserved with a sequel. And thus, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 was born!
This sequel is an interesting amalgamation between the Marvel films, Netflix TV shows, and comic books. Thanks to Netflix, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist all have their own main story mission. (Why isn’t Jessica Jones in it" Not a clue.) Thanks to the films, characters from Thor Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Dr. Strange all have an appearance. While the last game emphasized the X-Men, this one looks more to the inHumans. It also contains plenty of throwbacks to those who read the comics as well, such as the inclusion of Secret Empire Steve Rogers, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Jane Foster Thor. But how does this hodgepodge of lore work together" Does it fit together brick-by-brick or is the foundation too unsteady...
