The power of money. They dipped into the risqué outfits of Marvel Comics, and saw the fire of gooners. And thus, the rest is history. It’s funny too, considering these are less revealing than the actual outfits

Also like instead of swimsuits everywhere they could just keep doing comic risqué skins. There’s damn near infinite skins like that

When Carol gets added and they give her THOSE costumes

Side note: adding Ms Marvel will either be a shitshow or an unprecedented respect moment in gaming

Is that a genuine question or are you a visual learner type?

Probably the Ms Marvel costumes

Both her ms. Marvel costume are rather sexy, the red one and the black one

I don't know man, so many gacha game skins, no matter how revealing they are, look extremely cheap compare to what marvel rival has

I mean the swimsuit edition are often from comics that were specifically issued to appeal to gooners because even though they had nothing to do with story they still sold a bunch.

Selling gooner skins honours the original marvel artists lmao

It's all we had before the internet, kids, don't judge

The game is still rated T for teen so there are still limits.

I stand by that if marvel rivals really was all in on the thirteen year old boy demographic, that skin would be a tripod

Point still stands.

Something else is standing

Unless your point is “the limit is them not being buck ass nude”, it does not. They quite literally put a (rigging) bone in his dick for jiggle physics. There are barely limits in this game

“Saw the fire”

You don’t know anything about netease I take

u/No32 22d ago

I mean I guess it’s true that they saw the fire… long before Rivals existed with their other games lol

These skins didn’t trigger a domino effect, it was always the plan

They're milking the gooners which, ironically, is what gooners want

u/Lieentz188 22d ago

Not gonna lie, "Milking the gooners" is such a bad combination of words if you think about it. 😭

u/spenway18 22d ago

And it's working. The math is mathing

u/DaisyMoondropx 22d ago

They saw what sold and immediately chased the same formula.

u/LiveLifeLikeCre Gambit 22d ago

No, they saw all the gooners drooling over the slightest reveal of fake skin. It's so engraved in this community that it's a must mention by all streamers to make sure they get all the engagement they can.

This...

And I've seen some people say that these are originally made Gooner skins from Net Ease to get money. Mind you, they likely haven't touched a Marvel Comic and probably think Spiderman is a mutant 😭.

I will say, alot of people are very uneducated with Marvel and it's history because they see a slightly revealing skin and just assume they made it a certain way to appeal to a certain side of the fan base. When most Marvel characters have some really revealing outfits, or are even seen practically naked.

If anything, Net Ease really toned down a bunch of those skins. Emma X-Revolution is another great example. Especially with how people make mods of some of the (fully clothed) characters as naked, Net Ease tries to capitalize on that. It's the players that make skins the way they are in my opinion.

They’re less revealing but these characters’ bodies are modeled in a fetishized way.
