Marvel Champions Ant Man & Wasp Review - with Roy Cannaday & Ron Frazier

[@SquareJay]

I haven't seen Ron on the channel before but I really enjoyed the back and forth between you guys. I hope there's more Champions videos in the future using this format. Great job guys!

Great to see Ron on here! Appropriate given the Ant-Man and Wasp team up!

[@joseg.6187]

Roy, please do bring peers into these reviews. More interesting in my humble opinion.

I played Ant-man for the first time the other night. I did not realize his card flipped open until during setup it flipped open, and I lost my mind.

Love seeing Ron on here!

[@Mat23]

Great review! The folding cards are similar to the transformers tcg double sided cards!

[@EpicGamingNight]

Yeah! It’s a ton of fun!

[@fj8350]

Thanks for the time stamps!

For me Wasp is worth it just for her non-hero cards Miles, iron heart, power in all of us, quinncarrier (extra). I will say she’s one of the less thematic heroes for me. For example I find i spend the majority of the game with her in giant mode (until I get pinpoint strike) because it’s a much stronger form for her and thematically I feel like Nadia should be spending the majority of her time in tiny mode since Nadia has only become Giant 1 or 2 times in her entire history. In fact when FFG was designing her they had to commission all her Giant art because no Giant art existed of Nadia at that time. Its too bad Marvel said FFG couldn’t do Janet Van Dyne. She has a lot more history to draw from and could have been really interesting.

Wait why couldn't they do Janet Van Dyne or Hank Pym? Did they give a reason?

[@Atlasfilms08]

@@englej4 I think the only answer we got was from the Gen Con stream where the designer said they went to Marvel with Hank and Janet and Marvel said, “Yeah they’re cool but how about you do these two instead?” And then FFG acquiesced. Why Marvel made that call is anyone’s guess. The most likely reasons are probably because they wanted Scott for MCU synergy (plus I think Hank is dead in the comics) and they wanted Nadia so they could promote her since she’s a pretty new character.

[@englej4]

@@Atlasfilms08 I would agree Scott at least makes sense for the reason's above, the fact that Scott has used the Ant man title he most and Hank's spotty history in the comics. I think the still should have made Jan the main Wasp and just have Nadia be an ally. More material to work with and you still promote the character a bit.

[@Atlasfilms08]

@@englej4 yeah Janet and Scott have also teamed up many more times than Scott and Nadia so it would have made sense from that perspective too.
