After the latest summer update of “Marvel Rivals” was released, the most discussed thing was not the new character or the new mode, but Captain America’s new swimsuit style “Seaside Sentinel”. After seeing it for the first time, many players complained: “This is basically an adult MOD, right?” Some even joked that NetEase made Captain America’s figure too exaggerated this time, causing the entire community to explode instantly.
The official didn’t actually mess with the design?
The most eye-catching thing about this swimsuit is that the tight-fitting swimming trunks deliberately highlight Captain America’s muscle lines and body proportions, which attracted a large number of players to spread the word in the community. However, GamesRadar pointed out that this is not an original design by NetEase, but a faithful restoration from the 1992 “Marvel Swimsuit Special” comic. Back then, Marvel launched this special issue that spoofed the swimsuit photo magazine of the 1990s, allowing many heroes to appear in swimsuits. Now, “Marvel Rivals” just re-introduces this classic look into the game.
“Marvel Rivals” is not the first time
In fact, “Marvel Rivals” has always been hotly discussed due to its character styling. Regardless of whether it is a male hero or a female hero, the official does not shy away from introducing more fashionable and sexy styles. Therefore, some players joked that “Marvel Rivals” is one of the few hero shooting games in which “male and female characters are treated equally.” With the launch of the summer event, in addition to Captain America, many characters also changed into cool looks, once again setting off a heated discussion among players.
Netizens laughed, but it also proved that the official was successful
Some people think this design is too exaggerated, while others think it is just loyal to the comic book setting. However, judging from the community’s response, it is clear that “Marvel Rivals” has once again successfully created a topic. After all, compared to a look that no one discusses, a look that can make the entire Internet take crazy screenshots and repost it may be the real success.
