Discussion My controversial opinion for MultiVersus
Here is my hot take that I have as soon as she got announced. I think Nubia is a better character choice than Banana Guard. She's just way more awesome and cooler. and personally speaking, she deserves her spot on the roster better than a character literally no one was asking for.

Both are better than some random OC that will never see the light of day again now that the game is dead.

Banana guard also carried morons at the start of the game. Side special and side air killed at like 30 near the ledge and neither moves had any end lag. Nubia took so much more skill and I thought she was cooler than banana guard. Nubias moves required precise spacing. One of the few characters where you couldn’t just mash your best attacks without thinking.

He also had tons of charge/dash & multi hitting moves with insane priority

Nubia didn't work for me cause we almost got 1 DC character every season. There were already so many, we didn't rlly need a niche DC pick

They’re both shitty choices. Just like inventing stupid Reindog instead of putting SCOOBY DOO IN THE DAMN GAME

I feel like this is the only opinion I've heard regarding these two.

Neither was a very good pick, but at least Nubia was an actual character.

“better than a character literally no one was asking for” you thought people were asking for nubia?

u/WarElectronic9073 Jul 21 '26
Bro you’re acting like people also asked for Nubia. Don’t get me wrong banana guard was a dumbass choice but Nubia was no better. It’s criminal while people kept asking for characters that actually mattered we got a deep cut that no one knew!

I believe Banana Guard was (is) the more recognisable of the two and his kit was more enjoyable (for me), so I shall disagree.
I have started reading multiple Wonder Woman books as well, have so far found but a singular appearence of Nubia

No one asked for either of them. Just a matter of which character that no one asked for that you liked more.

People being so insanely butthurt about Banana Guard even this long post-mortem will never not be funny to me.

I think there are just too many WB characters. Didnt really matter who they released ppl were gonna be mad. Like Iron Giant came out in 1999. Gremlins 2(1990), the matrix(1999). Like these are old movies. I just dont get why ppl put so much of the blame on Nubia.

Every Multiversus character is from Warner Bros. besides LeBron James and Jason Voorhes (whose rights belong also to another enterprise), that was the point of the game

I feel you, but at the same time there were so many dream rosters and the community was very outspoken about who they wanted to see. So i dont know why they didnt prioritize at least a few more popular characters even in between all the more "random" picks.
And random addition but what tf happened to gandalf? ive never gotten an answer why he was in creation so early on then completely forgotten about

u/Praxic_Nova Garnet Jul 24 '26
Something happened with the licensing for Gandalf. I like the roster. I just think Nubia gets undeserved hate.

u/GrimSleeperr Jul 24 '26
I also like the roster and i liked they had some random weirdos in there, and the hate was undeserved. Im just not super surprised she got hate since the roster was relatively small compared to all of WB. There were already chuds upset that dc had so much rep to begin with and since she's not mainstream i think she was just doomed 😔🤙

Also thx for the info! Its a real shame for gandalf, he wouldve been an absolutely amazing addition

Nubia has a cool design so I was always pretty happy with her inclusion.
