What happens if you pick Captain America for the mission where you can only launch with one friend because the first thing you're going to do when you get there is recruit Captain America to be your other friend? Is the lineup then The Hunter and two Captains America for the rest of that mission? That would be awesome, but also not make any god damn sense, unless you dressed the one you launched with in the black outfit from when he was "The Captain" and pretend the other one is John Walker. And who the hell wants John Walker in their Midnight Suns lineup? Not me, that's for damn sure. I digress, where was I?

Oh yeah! Starting with a full hero roster in a storyline that's largely built around building your team doesn't make any sense. Having all the cosmetics unlocked (but not paid for) is slightly weird too, but I guess they figure nobody who's playing through the game for the second time in a row is going to be that invested in scrounging around the Abbey unlocking all the stuff again.

In fact, now that I've typed that out loud, is that the whole rationale behind it, that anyone who's playing this mode doesn't actually give a fuck about anything other than the missions? They're just going in there to see if you can get two Captains America on the Captain America recruitment mission and stuff? In that case, why make it a playthrough mode at all? Just make completing the game open a sandbox mode where you just have All the Stuff and a Mirror Table with unlimited missions on tap.

No, I thought I had it there for a second, but I still don't get it. :)

totally going to try that "two Captains America" thing, though
