Its not an unfair criticism of marvel rivals to say that most of the female characters have generic designs in the way of their body types and pretty faces. This criticism has naught to do with the gameplay (Its good) and people play games because the gameplay is engaging. Marvel rivals gets a small pass because their characters are based on existing characters from superhero comics, but honestly i wish they could do more with the designs. Squirrel girl is about as far as they can go - and she isnt even fat, just not super skinny.

Nowadays we are dealing with a new phenomena which is tourists. Be them ideologues or not, tourists are people who become interested in a hobby because it has gone mainstream, it's the current cool thing to like. They don't have a genuine interest on the hobby. As such, these people tend to not understand what the hobby is about or what made it great in the first place. In order to define what it is about and what made it great we have to defer to the previously existent collective agreement, which is why we (or at least me personaly) appeal to such agreement. Rather than it being a manipulation tactic, it's actually a descriptor. That's how we gatekeep our beloved franchises from tourists. Therefore, people who obcess with their individual opinions and say "speak for yourself" are, in my experience, precisely the tourists who don't understand the hobby. They appeal to their individual tastes and interpretations rather than embracing the Canon.

Exactly! Superheroes aren't supposed to be realistic. The entire reason Rivals looks so good, and Avengers doesn't, is ENTIRELY because one is over the top stylized, and the other has zero style. Back in their prime, Marvel comics had a whole artists guide on how to draw superheroes. And the core principle of it was to always make them larger than life. Make the men taller and more muscular, and the women more curvy and beautiful, than any real person. That's what makes them look like SUPERheroes. They also had rules about how to pose them. Shoulders back, chest out, and head held high, so they always look impressive. Because heroes don't slouch. Rivals does this perfectly, while Avengers never did. Even the MCU got this right, by casting the most amazing actors they could. People like Scarlet Johansen, and Chris Hemsworth are perfect for playing superheroes, because they are at the peak of real human beauty. And even then they only achieved that look with millions of dollars of extra help. But, again, that's what you should expect from SUPERheroes.
Notice that whenever the DEI slop enjoyers bring up unrealistic characters they never cite Abby from TLOU2. A character based on a female fitness model who is hocked up PEDs and is no way representative of what is "realistic" by their standards.

(Comic books had far more exaggerated physiques) Not to mention what Asmon said about cosplayers making way better outfits as well. Edit: Side note, what's the point in maiking a videogame about superheros if you take away the super? If the black widow in the right game was an actual woman, she wouldn't be ugly, but she would not be super. All the dudes are just normal dudes. Its some mumen rider tier super heroes.
Realism is not the problem. Live action movie counter parts are far more cooler. Hawkeye in the movies is a cool guy. Hawkeye in the Avengers game looks like a random dude with pajamas. I know normal people that look more athletic and cooler than this superheroes.

I can not wait for the next 4 years of gaming to happen, so that I can never see this dei slop again. Major changes are happening right now and this almost cult like activist slop will be completely purged from gaming because of how much money these corporations have lost from their poor decisions.
Hate to be the one to say it but companies are not backing down. They are prepared to use a lot of underhanded methods to still push agenda, like introducing all the inclusion crap past the early states of the game to appeal to the sunk fallacy and reject refunds, or advertising the game as being free of dei aspects until its out and the cat out of the bag. Triple A does need to exist but personally, the future lies with indie developers, big companies are too deep in an echo chamber.
American slop production studios: Made me lose interest in heroes completely Marvel Rivals: Made me remember how much I love heroes and even introduce me to new heroes I like even more (magik)
These comparisons are kinda idiotic. Live-Service Avengers flopped because the gameplay was boring, not because the characters were too ugly for the fan base to fap to. And blaming boring character design on the DEI boogieman is even stupider, the Rivals models are made for a more comic-inspired art design while Squeenix's Avengers was more a knockoff of the MCU designs. One was made to look accurate to the source material and the other was made to show off what was considered high graphical quality at the time, not everything is political.
They still look like absolute ass they can have an actual mcu look for the characters. The mcu actors look heroic and don’t just slouch and have bland costume designs. Please tell me iron man in end game looks anything like iron in the avengers game 😂they didn’t try at all dude
Overwatch ran into the trap of everything being too balanced, too sophisticated, too team-work heavy. In Marvel Rivals casuals can simply have fun and still feel they matter.

4:08... in my anthropology class the doctor that thought it for us gave us an explanation about female vs male body types... basically you have a triangle with the pointy head up meaning the base is wider... that's a female body type cause the hips are wider than the shoulders whilst the male body type is a triangle with the pointy head down meaning the shoulders are broader than the hips... so this isn't always the norm but in most cases it is... so the moment we see women with broader shoulders it enters in the uncanny valley just like if we see men with broader hips...
Funnily enough, the POE2 'classes' ARE actually characters in game. If you dont pay attention to the interactions between people, you may not notice it. For instance, in act 1, when you first get to the camp, the blacksmith asks if you've seen his son, IF you are playing as any class OTHER than warrior. But if you play warrior, he'll comment about how worried he's been since you disappeared. Same in act 2. If you play as any class besides sorceress, you are treated as a stranger to them, whereas, if you play as sorceress, youre treated as an exile returning home.
I love how they (Marvel's Avengers) somehow managed to mess up Iron Man's design despite having over a decade with the MCU, which kept pumping out solid suit designs.
Must have been a slow day for Asmongold for him to farm videos. 1) Marvel's Rivals character models have exaggerated body structure and are based on the comic book versions. 2) Marvel's Avengers character models are designed to be realistic enough as to look just like the actors from the MCU.
The best part is that Rivals is totally inclusive. Having character of all sexes and races, even alien ones. Its never been about inclusion, it was always about intention and execution
Part of the reason here is that Marvel Rivals is trying to be more stylized like something you'd see in a comic book whereas Marvel's Avengers is trying to make you think of the MCU characters but they're also different enough so they don't have to pay for using the likeness of the actors, so you essentially get knockoff versions of the MCU characters by design. It's why we're getting Kris Evens, Marcus Buffalo, Bob Uppies Sr, Red Johnson, Jeremiah Runner, and Karl Pantlegscuffworth.
It's absolutely pathetic when Chinese devs understand the American audiences better than American corporations do... Considering the cultural difference it's like a blind man drawing a masterpiece while a professionally trained artist fails to draw a convincing stickman.
"News flash: the genre's called FANTASY! It's meant to be UN-realistic, you myopic manatee!" -J.R.R. Tolkien. Also, it's important to note realism has two possible meanings: close to reality, and internally consistent. The issue is the ugly designs are one and not the other, but we're using the same term for it.
They talk about realism like a man can become green with big muscles and a man with a bow and arrow did not die in 30 seconds and also dr strange makes portals. Very realistic
7:16 Dad bod Hulk on the bottom who likes to backseat coach from his living room Lazyboy while the Hulk on the top is actually out there fighting inter-galactic threats.
Why we talking about realism in a game where a shark can ride on a walking tree? The designs are supposed to be unrealistic. If we wanted realistic body types, we would play a game about normal people, not super heroes lol
Marvel Rival is basically Poe2 of Overwatch2 lol. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Turtle WoW's Unreal 5 Vanilla server also kills Classic WoW.
6:30 The Black Panther on the left looks like a warrior who is wearing the skin of his prey, the one on the right looks like a hobo who found a cheap halloween costume in a garbage can.
the cancel mob must be so conflicted, Marvel Rivals has good looking characters that is somehow a bad thing that must be purged from the inter-webs, and at the same time the cancel mob goes after anyone that doesn't sing blind praise of Disney products (that Marvel is part of), lol.
People who spend all day on the internet arguing about socio-political issues don't buy videogames. They don't have the time they're too busy arguing about socio-political issues on the internet.
The fact that some male characters in Marvel Rivals are inherently disadvantaged because of their larger hitboxes (e.g. Punisher and Moon Knight compared to the other Duelists) makes the genderswap post even dumber. 10/10 bait would fall for it again.
But they shouldn't look realistic. "Realistic" is what Steve Roger's looked like BEFORE they modified his human body to inhuman proportions. Thor is a god, Tchala is an avatar of Bast, the panther god. Making these people look like Dave from accounting wearing a cosplay is inexcusable.
the character design was clearly meant to reflect the real life actors from MCU which it does. the other is proper comic. black widow body looks virtually identical to scarlets and I am willing to bet they brought them in the studio to do character models on their shapes.
>Gamers - We are sick of cheap live service games that don't bring anything new. >Asian sweatshop game studio releases a third person F2P overmatch rip-off with a Marvel skin on top of it >Gamers - OH MY GOD, this so good, they finally listened.
Square was one of the first corps to pull away from SBI, and they've managed to release some actual bangers inbetween the other DEI slops, so I still have real hope for them.
As a chronic healer in games, Rivals is the first time I've felt like there is a great experience healing in pvp for a long long time. I'm having a blast.
The thing I noticed in The Avengers version is that most of the characters seem to be slouching, making them look depressed or sad. Whereas in Rivals, their shoulders are going back with their chests puffing out, looking like strong and proud heroes or villains.
“It should be realistic” I don’t remember the last time I saw someone in public turn into a big green monster throwing flying aliens into city buildings
Oh yes, marvel rivals, the non DEI game with, multiple Chinese characters, an African character, peni Parker, and the literal main announcer being a teenage female reskin of a historically male character. So anti woke 😂😂 also hate to break it to ya but comics are inherently political, most of your favorite characters were created by Jewish people, comics always have a message it's your choice to not see it

*Hot Take* The problem doesn’t get any better by calling people "DEI slop enjoyers". That just creates even more extremes or isolated bubbles. Wouldn’t it make more sense to educate about DEI and explain why you’re against it without resorting to insults? Let’s be honest: Are we really upset just because a trans character appears in a game? No. (And if you are, you might want to rethink your attitude, because this group of people exists.) The real issue is that these characters are often written in a way that feels unnatural, forced, and inauthentic. On top of that, designs are intentionally altered to fit certain trends or agendas, which makes the whole thing feel even more artificial. And isn’t this exactly what we’re against? I don’t know, that’s my opinion on the matter, so it’s a hot take.
I feel like people who defend DEI already know all that, they choose to ignore it to keep pushing their agenda, and at some point people are gonna get upset by "just seeing a trans in the game" but not because they hate them or anything, it's just because everytime they appear, it's the same way as you said, so we just recognize the pattern and end up hating/trashing on it before it even comes out. It gets annoying at a point, to have so many things that we like, be turned into whatever this horrible slop is, and then the "rage" comes and it ends in a insult battle.
At one point I would have agreed with you, but it's been going on for too long. It's all been explained a million times already, and yet we still had this garbage jammed in our face for the last 10 years. Now people are tired of repeating themselves, so we call it trash and move on.
I ones heard a tragic story about a female video game developer. She died trying to escape a sexpest coworker. If a video game company starts pushing for "realistic designs", it's usually a cover up for the predators.
There is a huge difference between something being genuinely "unrealistic" and "plausible within its fictional world"...cpt. America being being juiced up with military-grade steroids is not grounded in reality but is explainable within his existing universe, some fat guy running around without getting tired is actually "unrealistic"
It's still retaining 90% of its peak playerbase since launch. And the journalists say people are tired of hero shooters... No, we're tired of slop
Now I'm not a fan of hero shooters, just not my thing; however, the hero shooter genre is not the problem, it's the bad ones.
to be fair overwatch falling off does free some room for a game that doesn't suck.

Side note, what's the point in maiking a videogame about superheros if you take away the super? If the black widow in the right game was an actual woman, she wouldn't be ugly, but she would not be super. All the dudes are just normal dudes. Its some mumen rider tier super heroes.
Also Thor is a god. He can easily not follow human standard
that is an insane insult to mumen rider, but i agree with the overall sentiment
super heroes should be SUPER. fantasy should be FANTASTIC.

Realism is not the problem. Live action movie counter parts are far more cooler. Hawkeye in the movies is a cool guy. Hawkeye in the Avengers game looks like a random dude with pajamas. I know normal people that look more athletic and cooler than this superheroes.
Marvel Rivals has been much more fun to play than I thought it would.

13:25 I know growing up in the 90's and 00's, if someone spoke for the group, it was a very common clapback for someone to say "Speak for yourself!" because it was considered manipulative/wrong to assume everyone agreed with you, when in fact we don't all agree. But now the person speaking can be on a platform and say "We all want this" and the comment of "Speak for yourself" can be buried in a sea of dumb replies. It's way more likely that the speaker can get away with that manipulation these days.😅😅😅😅😅
This is the difference between ideology of people deciding what you get access to VS you deciding what you want to pay for.
Maybe if they stopped hiring people whos only qualifications are to "make characters ugly so that no one is offended " we'd see more successful games
Well that's only part of it. They're not even being hired for their qualifications in the first place. They're being hired to fill a quota for social scoring points, not on their abilities. Basically a warm body in a chair they can then check off on a list.
No one? Anyone that planned to buy the game in the first place got offended and fked right off, so their plans are firing back.
If you think artists want to model these things you are way off. It’s coming from licensing.
I can not wait for the next 4 years of gaming to happen, so that I can never see this dei slop again. Major changes are happening right now and this almost cult like activist slop will be completely purged from gaming because of how much money these corporations have lost from their poor decisions.
Brother there won’t be 4 y were like to have 2 😂
Marvel is more DEI than any other company gamers interact with...
Hate to be the one to say it but companies are not backing down. They are prepared to use a lot of underhanded methods to still push agenda, like introducing all the inclusion crap past the early states of the game to appeal to the sunk fallacy and reject refunds, or advertising the game as being free of dei aspects until its out and the cat out of the bag. Triple A does need to exist but personally, the future lies with indie developers, big companies are too deep in an echo chamber.
It will go away when Blackrock goes under - never

These comparisons are kinda idiotic. Live-Service Avengers flopped because the gameplay was boring, not because the characters were too ugly for the fan base to fap to. And blaming boring character design on the DEI boogieman is even stupider, the Rivals models are made for a more comic-inspired art design while Squeenix's Avengers was more a knockoff of the MCU designs. One was made to look accurate to the source material and the other was made to show off what was considered high graphical quality at the time, not everything is political.
They still look like absolute ass they can have an actual mcu look for the characters. The mcu actors look heroic and don’t just slouch and have bland costume designs. Please tell me iron man in end game looks anything like iron in the avengers game 😂they didn’t try at all dude

4:08... in my anthropology class the doctor that thought it for us gave us an explanation about female vs male body types... basically you have a triangle with the pointy head up meaning the base is wider... that's a female body type cause the hips are wider than the shoulders whilst the male body type is a triangle with the pointy head down meaning the shoulders are broader than the hips... so this isn't always the norm but in most cases it is... so the moment we see women with broader shoulders it enters in the uncanny valley just like if we see men with broader hips...
Maybe you're remembering the lecture wrong. The average (and ideal) shoulder to hip ratio for women is 1:1.
This is a crazy incel comment lol@@exu7325
@@exu7325I think your right, it’s their waist that’s smaller than their hips creating the signature hour glass shape if I’m not mistaken
Funnily enough, the POE2 'classes' ARE actually characters in game.
If you dont pay attention to the interactions between people, you may not notice it.
For instance, in act 1, when you first get to the camp, the blacksmith asks if you've seen his son,
IF you are playing as any class OTHER than warrior.
But if you play warrior, he'll comment about how worried he's been since you disappeared.
Same in act 2. If you play as any class besides sorceress, you are treated as a stranger to them, whereas, if you play as sorceress, youre treated as an exile returning home.
Exactly just like diablo 1 and 2.

I love how they (Marvel's Avengers) somehow managed to mess up Iron Man's design despite having over a decade with the MCU, which kept pumping out solid suit designs.
Must have been a slow day for Asmongold for him to farm videos.
1) Marvel's Rivals character models have exaggerated body structure and are based on the comic book versions.
2) Marvel's Avengers character models are designed to be realistic enough as to look just like the actors from the MCU.
Asmon's editor is addicted to DEI videos.

The best part is that Rivals is totally inclusive. Having character of all sexes and races, even alien ones. Its never been about inclusion, it was always about intention and execution

It's honestly amazing to see and pretty fun to watch the meltdowns on this side of the pond. They just know how to provide what people want.
I think it is fair if there can be gay characters in games. But it should be important to fit well to the game.
Part of the reason here is that Marvel Rivals is trying to be more stylized like something you'd see in a comic book whereas Marvel's Avengers is trying to make you think of the MCU characters but they're also different enough so they don't have to pay for using the likeness of the actors, so you essentially get knockoff versions of the MCU characters by design. It's why we're getting Kris Evens, Marcus Buffalo, Bob Uppies Sr, Red Johnson, Jeremiah Runner, and Karl Pantlegscuffworth.
6:20 is literally 99 % of cosplayers vs the character they're trying to cosplay as 😅
It's absolutely pathetic when Chinese devs understand the American audiences better than American corporations do... Considering the cultural difference it's like a blind man drawing a masterpiece while a professionally trained artist fails to draw a convincing stickman.

"News flash: the genre's called FANTASY! It's meant to be UN-realistic, you myopic manatee!"

Also, it's important to note realism has two possible meanings: close to reality, and internally consistent. The issue is the ugly designs are one and not the other, but we're using the same term for it.

The ultimate problem with realism is that realism is not designed to be appealing. While stylized things are designed for appeal.

“Realistic” is the greek statue build that would even slightly hint at being able to survive the miraculous events of of the games

This is a huge victory for artists and gamers .
The fact that some male characters in Marvel Rivals are inherently disadvantaged because of their larger hitboxes (e.g. Punisher and Moon Knight compared to the other Duelists) makes the genderswap post even dumber. 10/10 bait would fall for it again.

@@christianmathew398 OG designs? Of what? There is no captain america in comic books that looks like the Marvel Rivals version.
But they shouldn't look realistic. "Realistic" is what Steve Roger's looked like BEFORE they modified his human body to inhuman proportions. Thor is a god, Tchala is an avatar of Bast, the panther god. Making these people look like Dave from accounting wearing a cosplay is inexcusable.
the character design was clearly meant to reflect the real life actors from MCU which it does. the other is proper comic. black widow body looks virtually identical to scarlets and I am willing to bet they brought them in the studio to do character models on their shapes.

The thing I noticed in The Avengers version is that most of the characters seem to be slouching, making them look depressed or sad. Whereas in Rivals, their shoulders are going back with their chests puffing out, looking like strong and proud heroes or villains.

*Hot Take*
The problem doesn’t get any better by calling people "DEI slop enjoyers". That just creates even more extremes or isolated bubbles.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to educate about DEI and explain why you’re against it without resorting to insults?
Let’s be honest: Are we really upset just because a trans character appears in a game? No. (And if you are, you might want to rethink your attitude, because this group of people exists.)
The real issue is that these characters are often written in a way that feels unnatural, forced, and inauthentic. On top of that, designs are intentionally altered to fit certain trends or agendas, which makes the whole thing feel even more artificial. And isn’t this exactly what we’re against? I don’t know, that’s my opinion on the matter, so it’s a hot take.
I feel like people who defend DEI already know all that, they choose to ignore it to keep pushing their agenda, and at some point people are gonna get upset by "just seeing a trans in the game" but not because they hate them or anything, it's just because everytime they appear, it's the same way as you said, so we just recognize the pattern and end up hating/trashing on it before it even comes out. It gets annoying at a point, to have so many things that we like, be turned into whatever this horrible slop is, and then the "rage" comes and it ends in a insult battle.
At one point I would have agreed with you, but it's been going on for too long. It's all been explained a million times already, and yet we still had this garbage jammed in our face for the last 10 years. Now people are tired of repeating themselves, so we call it trash and move on.

It's in absolutely every industry too. Too many Diddy parties really warps your mind.
I ones heard a tragic story about a female video game developer. She died trying to escape a sexpest coworker.
If a video game company starts pushing for "realistic designs", it's usually a cover up for the predators.
There is a huge difference between something being genuinely "unrealistic" and "plausible within its fictional world"...cpt. America being being juiced up with military-grade steroids is not grounded in reality but is explainable within his existing universe, some fat guy running around without getting tired is actually "unrealistic"
