Marvel Rivals - Superhero slop meets overwatch

Literally the same thing these Tumblrtards did during Overwatch.

Didn't this also happen in Ultimate?

This shit is prevalent even before Ultimate, since the 90s. I shit you not there's porn that gives Reed & Sue more love & respect as a couple than their own comics.
Ultimate is an overrated piece of shit where almost everything sucks.
She ends up with Ben Grimm (his best friend) in the end, adding insult to injury.
Maker is a sad cunt.

If people want to read anything from the old ultimate universe, read the spider-man stuff. Ultimates and (more or less) the rest became pretty hard edgefests in the end.

Anyway Marvel Rivals....slop, but entertaining enough.
Fuck Iron Fist though, that cunt can eat a dick.

No it isn't. Ultimate is very rated. No one liked it. It was always seen as shit and endemic of that early 2000's need to be as vulgar as possible for the sake of it. No one thought cannibal cuck Hulk beefing with Freddy Prince Jr was good. No one thought Wasp as a BPD battered housewife who liked getting abused and was a mutant was good, no one thought Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver fucking each other was good, and then finding out Wolverine was their real dad was also just the cherry on the shit cake.. And then Ultimatum came out. That's when everyone realized Ultimate was never ever going to get good. I have never seen a single person say a good thing about the Ultimates line. It's always talking about all the dumb shit they did. And no, Ultimate Spider-Man was no exception. No matter what Marvel themselves want you to think. Bendis is shit. Everyone knew that too.

Anyway Marvel Rivals is good. It's unironically the best Marvel branded thing in the last 10 years, not that that was hard to do.

Ultimate Marvel is interesting since id say Ultimate Spiderman and Ultimate X Men were the only good things about it, however even with how edgy Ultimate was a lot of the ideas of early MCU were based on Ultimate especially early MCU.

Definitely feels like they forgot to mention some buffs based on what I saw on the EA server. Storm definitely moves faster and people are saying the swap from Dagger to Cloak is much faster now.

They also released the pick and win rate data. Quick Play (merged PC and console) and Competitive, which can be split by platform and rank.
 
I refuse to believe that people pick Iron Man more than Psylocke, because I see that annoying cunt everywhere.
 
Lol Marvel Rivals hates the Namor/Sue pairing

Even in Sue's interactions she's grilling him
 
I think it'd be cool if they could add Dazzler at some point, but I have no idea how to make her kit different from Luna Snow.

I suppose she could be a duelist and her focus is increasing the teams DPS with off healing, making her the opposite of Luna.

The only good parts of Ultimates was racist Captain America. I think he even nailed wasp too. Dude was awesome. Kinda sucks the cap in rivals is the mainstream version who is just some rootless cosmopolitan. "I don't fight for a flag, I fight for an idea!" Bitch, your codename is captain AMERICA and you're literally wearing our flag.

Ultimate Spiderman I would give some leeway, because it was pretty cool and had some great ideas (Gwen Stacy is brought back as carnage? That kicks ass) but it also gave us Miles Morales, so it immediately goes to F tier.

On topic, does anyone else get the feeling the devs really don't like Peter Parker? He's trash tier in gameplay, in all the artwork he's just kinda off to the side compared to the diverse spider-people, the spider map has nothing to do with him, and even in his story blurb for season zero they have him word for word claim he will never be as cool as spiderpunk. Like damn, throw my man a bone.

I think the Cap in Rivals is from an alt version of 2099 where he was on Ice for the last hundred plus years.

I get the sentiment, but Cap's always been for the American Dream. It's why he was Nomad for a time in the 70s.

He just wants U.S. Agent not Captain America

If this was a modern Marvel book she would have 100% been flirting and cucking Reed. It’s sad that the fucking Chinese have more respect for these characters than Marvel themselves. But as others have said that’s been the case for a long time and at least back then they put all the trash in the Ultimate books.

Anyone remember in one of the more recent F4 books where it’s discovered that Reed has a secret black sister who is immediately treated as being better than her brother… you know the same guy whose saved the fucking universe thousands of times.
 
If Redditors and Tumblr circa 2014-brained people were flipping out over Magik and Psylocke, they're now losing their minds over Sue Storm and her "Malice" outfit, calling it "sexist trash for gooners". No Marvel character was ever drawn with anything resembling sex appeal, especially not in the 1980s and 1990s! Certainly not the Invisible Woman!

The only exposure these people have to Marvel superheroes comes from Current Year comics and the attempts at Cinematic Universes, anything that doesn’t fit neatly into the template of a Disney MCU movie or Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is now "problematic". You see Redditors and the like going on about how old costume designs should be "left in the past", or someone bragging "I DREW PSYLOCKE WITH PROPER PANTS THAT COVER HER LEGS".

If the "Malice" costume, or Sue Storm generally bothers them, imagine if these Zoomers and Tumblrites actually bothered to read comics from the 80s or 90s. If you told them to look or look up Jean Grey when she was the Black Queen, or Madeline Pryor's outfit, they'd probably self-immolate.

Here's Black Panther Getting Seduced By The White She-Devil.

It, amongst many other shit, led to /co/ drawing this.

Here is someone watching too much Sex & The City before writing a Sue comic:
Can I help it if I constantly dream about a life where Namor makes me his cumsock.jpg
Here is Reed just about having enough of Namor's fuckboyism & Sue's whoredom:
Reed Shoots Namor.jpg
Also, everytime Sue leaves Reed, he turns into a schizo incel.

This one is from Ultimate, but yeah, right after she left him, he apparently started turning into a superpowered incel.

American Comics just can't handle marriages whatsoever, it's like stable & happy relationships are their Kryptonite, there are some legendary comic fuck-ups related to just marriages alone (the X-MEN Northstar Nurse marriage being my personal favorite one).

Very true! Actually shocked how decent Lois and Clark’s relationship still seems to be, even if they are now forced to have a faggot son.

It's more that I get the feeling if this cap was forced to sit down and articulate what the american dream actually was he would sound like Patrick Bateman in this scene from american psycho

What was that storyline where the universe gets destroyed and remade by dr doom so that he's god king, railing Susan, and Reeds kids now call him daddy? And Dr Strange just watches and lets it happen because lmao.

Depending on the writer & sometimes artist, Lois & Clark are almost a power couple in comparison.

One more thing, if you're talking about the time their son gets a bisexual pink haired, Asian, twink BF, that shit got retconned just a few months later. Same happened with one of the Robin's who also coincidentally got a bisexual pink haired Asian twink for a BF, just around the same time.
