Why Yondu doesn't have Guardian Tag ??

Yondu in MCU become a Guardian, but seems like they're following the comics because Agent Venom has that tag, but Yondu is the founding member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Why not him ?

He is not a guardian in the story of this game. That's probably why

Weird.

He's not a guardian, he's just a ravager who helped them

In the movies Rocket says “welcome to the fricken GOTG”. Should have given him tag

Nah, the game doesn't follow the MCU 100%. Pretty much picks and chooses which parts it wants.

I wondered the same thing. Lol

I'm talking about the movie not comics, which mcoc characters are being based on for the past few months, with a few exceptions.

What I don't understand is why not list all guardians? In the story (which Kabam included in their game bios) Captain Marvel and Angela are members of GOTG, but they don't have the tags either. Where is the consistency? Although, that can be asked in every aspect of this game.

Yeah, Yondu clearly deserves Guardian tag, more than Agent Venom, it's annoying that even Angela doesn't have that tag, but of course that'll be a stretch but for Yondu it's obvious.

For the same reason why Spider-Man (Stark Enhanced) doesn't have the Avenger tag.
The game doesn't follow the MCU 100%

GlueNoClue

Or the comics, apparently.

But he's not an Avenger, he becomes in Infinity War but that's Iron Spider Suit. Not Stark Enhanced so on that one Kabam is clear.

They can’t base everything on the MCU alone. Of course they will tie into the MCU whenever a movie comes out. Would be strange if they as a company wouldn’t hop onto that bandwagon.

But as there are multiple earths in the comics, the MCU should be treated as such as well. Just another earth to draw from. So while in the MCU Yondu may have become a guardian minutes prior to dying (shut up, I’m not crying, you’re crying!), in the game he doesn’t.

Storylines decide where someone goes. And while a lot are riding on the relations in the MCU, many are riding on the relations in the comics. And some are riding on ingame relations.

It’s Marvel. Roughly anything can happen..

It's Kabam. Roughly anything can happen..

They already confirmed that the game has its own universe with its own laws. It doesn't follow comics or movies at all, it just takes the characters from them and put them in the game.
That's why champions don't automatically k.o. others, or why ghost rider isn't incinerate immune, or why other champions don't have immunities that at your eyes they "should have". Just disregard anything you know about other sources

Kinda hard when they're literally adapted from Comics and Movies.

The Yondu in the MCU and in the Contest is from a completely different reality than the one being referenced in the comics. It even says in the picture you posted that he's from a different reality known as Earth-691.

For those who don't know, the main storyline in the comics takes place in what is known as Earth-616. This is the reality that started in the early 60's with a lot of the classic heroes (Hulk, Fantastic Four, Spider-man, etc.). Alternate versions of these heroes like Ultimate Spider-man or Spider-man Noir exist in their own unique realities.

This is how we have different versions of the same champ. The Contest can pull champs from all realities to participate. That's why we have a Classic Spider-man and a Stark-Enhanced Spider-man, for example. Both are Peter Parker, both received powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider, and both took on the name "Spider-man", but their histories are different. One is a protégé of Tony Stark, the other isn't (among other differences). These histories are unique to the character from a specific timeline. As such, it wouldn't make much sense to give Classic Spidey the "Knowledge Share" synergy with Iron Man because the two don't have much to do with one another even though Stark Spidey and Iron Man do.

Look at other alternate versions in the contest. King Groot is a Groot from another reality. Just because he is Groot doesn't means he should get a #Guardian tag, and rightfully so he doesn't have it. Civil Warrior is Steve Rogers from another reality where the Avengers existed, but he doesn't have the #Avengers tag because he wasn't a part of the Avengers team that the tags are referring to.

Yondu is the same way. An alternate version of Yondu WAS a founding member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, though that team looks drastically different than the one from the MCU. The Yondu in the Contest is from a different reality where we wasn't a founding member of the Guardians. He spent most of his life as a Ravager.
