I did not like this show initially.  This is probably due to me only seeing it in short spurts and out of order.  Then I came across some of the "Tubesteak" videos on youtube and discovered his ties to the show.   After that, I had a new found appreciation for the content in Boondocks.
 I'll stop short of calling McGruder a genius, but creating the Gin Rummy character was pretty awesome.
 
"Good, now we all see the weapon!"

The new game represents a real opportunity to get some new characters, that over the last 10 years have become important for both Capcom and Marvel.  In the case of Marvel, there represents a wealth of older characters that just couldn't fit in MvC2.  It's unlikely that MvC3 is going to be able to deliver over 40 Characters, as such, I don't want valuable slots to be wasted on:
 
Dan
Akuma
Charlie   
Roll
Servbot
Thanos
Silver Samurai
Marrow
Felicia
Sonson
Ruby Heart
Amingo
Omega Red
War Machine
Cammy
Dhalsim
Venom
Anakaris
Shuma-Gorath
Sakura
Blackheart
Spiral 
Psylocke
Iceman
Sentinel
Hayato
Zangief
B.B. Hood
T. Bonne
Rogue
 
This is not to say that the characters listed here are bad, or useless.  I love many of these characters, but I feel that each of these characters can be replaced in favor of an equivalent character from their respective universe in order to create some diversity.  Replacing 2/3rds of the roster will help the developers create a fresh experience and allow them to lift a "little" of the heavy burden of having the game be compared to MvC2.  If most of the same characters return, a lot of people are going to be disappointed that their favorite character just doesn't "play" as well as they used to.  Keep the faces of the franchise, mix up the rest.

I was getting tired of Microsoft touting the xbox 360 as a media center without providing the storage options to back it up.
 
oh yeah.... they'll be a hack for more than 16G a week after launch...
then they'll be a patch to brick all hacked systems...

" Why isn't this just included in with the game.... "

" There was a moment in the citadel where an Alliance sergeant was "educating" his charges on the physics of vacuum naval gunnery combat that went something to the effect of:  "Newton's Third Law states that an object will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force! So if a shell get's fired, it will not stop until it has hit a ship, or the planet behind that ship, or in 10000 years land on someone else's he's head! So whatever way you look at it, you are ruining somebody's day with this weapon! So no! You do not have the luxury of 'eye-balling' it!" "

" Michael Pachter is paid to be controversial.    And since when was selling 1-2 million copies on consoles not a big hit? "
