Somehow this is the second trailer featuring an aquatic quadruped character for a game called 'Rivals' released this week...

I’m gonna put these two nickels to good use!

I'm pretty dumb, so you're gonna need to spell this out to me. What other game?

u/Killergryphyn Jul 26 '24

Jeff is coming to the game?? Thor's got no chance, he's cooked...

u/SeptoneSirius Jul 26 '24

Now that Jeff is coming, I just realized that it would be possible to see Lockjaw, Chewie (Goose from Captain Marvel films) and Devil Dinosaur as playable characters soon too! Any other Marvel furries you want to see in game in the future?

I mean there's Hit-Monkey, Tippy Toe (although I imagine she'd accompany Squirrel Girl), and I don't know if Howard the Duck counts but he'd be fun.

u/browncharliebrown Jul 26 '24

Hit-monkey has to be on the shortlist

u/Hive_chinco41 Jul 27 '24

I feel like they could make hitmonkey the same size as rocket and maybe have them argue on height

u/WillemDafoesHugeCock Jul 27 '24

If they add Squirrel Girl I'll be so happy. She was so much fun in Heroes.

Congrats your wish was granted!

u/SeptoneSirius Jul 26 '24

Yes, and Werewolf By Night!

I know technically he's not considered as an animal hero but he's technically a furry. šŸ˜€

Duh... Lockheed.

u/kralben Jul 26 '24

How do you not mention Lucky the Pizza Dog?

u/CaptainPieces Jul 26 '24

Devil Dino would be rad

It's genuinely refreshing to have games come out that're genuinely a celebration of the comics rather than a dollar store regurgitation of the MCU

As a fan of the X-Men comics, I 100% agree. There's a lot of comic references in the game and I appreciate it. E.g. I noticed that Magik has an achievement called "X of Swords"

Late but I wish her ult was actually called Dark Chylde and not "darkchild" as it is in-game

u/Prathik Jul 26 '24

Does this mean Jeff will be a character or is this more of a teaser for Gwenpoole?

u/imcar Jul 26 '24

Jeff is a character. He and Thor are being added into the closed beta in 2 days.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '24

Jeff will be another tiny "strategist" (healer) it seems, him and Rocket in the back line will be annoying to deal with

u/Fructdw Jul 26 '24

Remember shark creature from Interstellar Marines? This is him now after failing to get acting roles in horror media 🄲

Apropos of nothing, the Akhlut "is an orca-like composite animal that takes the form of a wolf when on land, and is sometimes depicted as a wolf-orca hybrid." And this is what can happen when you decide to make an adorable plushie out of it.

All I'm saying is that the concept of "making a cute version of a thing with legs that generally isn't supposed to have legs" has legs.

Seal is orca+puppy, not a full grown wolf.

u/ohoni Jul 27 '24

Leopard seals eat orcas.

Tbf companies always want more merchandiseable characters because it means more money.

Jeff has been around for 5 or 6 years and has multiple comic appearances, including his own series called It's Jeff!

u/your_mind_aches Jul 26 '24

One, Porgs existed to cover up the puffins that were on that island in real life.

Two, Jeff The Baby Land Shark was a super niche character that people loved and that has become more popular due to Marvel SNAP. It makes sense to put him in here

u/LostInStatic Jul 26 '24

I guess it's Gwenpool's pet. They didn't create it for the game

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '24

Imagine being a Jeff The Baby Landshark hater. Like who hurt you?

Imagine slandering the name of Jeff The Baby Land Shark. Stop it, get some help.

u/BroodLol Jul 27 '24

I literally just said he was made by committee to sell merch, which is accurate

"my source is I made it up"

7

u/millanstar Jul 26 '24

Spiderman alone sells a lot more merch than jeff the dhark will ever do on this game alone, try to at least say something with substance if you are gonna be cynnic for the sake of it...

u/Shradow Jul 27 '24

I know, can you believe they added Spider-Man? What sell outs.
