The longest unnoticed (small) mistake in MCoC

So I finally got around to 100%ing 5.1 so I can have that out of the way when I noticed that even though Iron Patriot is the boss the cutscene before you reach him shows Iron Fist come out ready to fight like what happens most of the time in event quests.

    maybe it's somehow because of story line, I believe it does exist (tbh, I almost never read it)

    No, I think the longest running error is the grammatical mistake in the loading screen:

    "Prestige is based off of..."

    That's been there since forever, I think.

    It's an idiom, so doesn't need to be grammatically correct.

    It's grammatically incorrect and shouldn't be used in written English.

    When you buy new shoes, do you take them out the box? Or do you take them out OF the box? Please try to tell me what the difference is so I can lol at your groundless assertions some more.

    Off is different from Out. That you would compare 'out of' and 'off of' is odd. You take the shoes OUT OF the box, try them on, and then take the shoes OFF your feet

    'Off of' is one of my grammatical pet peeves as a non-native English speaker. It's in the same vein as 'irregardless,' an error so pervasive that the dictionary just accepted it as another word for 'regardless'

    Hence, I appreciate very much that Frankie Valli sings, "You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off you," as opposed to Lifehouse who admits, "And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you."

    You take them out the box. You take them off the self.

    I'm not your Google. Look it up yourself.

    It is grammatically incorrect.

    Adding "of" after a preposition is superfluous and, again, incorrect.

    What? there's such thing called "cutscene" in-game? LOL .... I have been pressing SKIP since I played MCoC day one. I wish I have a global setting for me to check the box saying "disable cutscene" so I don't even need to waste my time pressing the SKIP. However, I believe there are folks who enjoy reading thru each and every cutscrene stories and conversations, but just not me. :D

    p/s: If I wanna watch Marvel stories, there are plenty of better sources like Marvel comics, Marvel anime, Marvel movies, etc rather than this cutscene in game. I play MCoC game for, you guess it right, the GAME itself :)

    I take things out of a box and I take things off of a shelf. And I am correct when I say it, because language is communication and you know exactly what I am saying and what I am talking about when I say it.
    So get the hell 'out of' here with your grammar **** ****.

    Hey, you know what? You're absolutely right. That's EXACTLY what I did. I was wrong the whole time, and I am just SOOOO SORRY.

    I think 'Cyrokinesis' in Iceman's sig description is the most annoying. Such an easy fix, but they just can't be bothered.

    As someone who mainly uses Iceman, this ticks me off a lot.
