Do Chinese people understand superheroes better than Americans? Simple old American LGBT comes to mind! The aesthetics are so bad!
Before its release, Marvel Rivals was often compared to Star Wars, which was being tested at the same time. After all, "Marvel Contest" features handsome male characters and beautiful female characters as its selling point, and has become another popular theme for many gentleman animators after "Overwatch".
Recently , this game was compared with another 3A Marvel game "Marvel's Avengers", triggering players' discussion on the character design of the two games.
"Marvel's Avengers" published by Square Enix and jointly developed by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montréal When it was launched, it focused on a realistic style and invited real models to have their faces scanned. However, the actual effect was criticized as "cheap passerby cosplay" due to improper costume design.
Although The game attracted attention in the early days, but just over two years after its launch, it announced that it would stop updating and was completely removed from the shelves, making it a major failure in the history of Marvel games.
With the success of "Marvel Confrontation" in the past month or so, the character design of "Marvel's Avengers" has once again become a hot topic of discussion. Netizens had a heated discussion about the character's appearance, body proportions and costume design. Some even bluntly said: "China understands American superheroes better than the United States." Some comments were even more sharp: "Except for Spider-Man and Black Panther, other The character is simply a cheap cosplay” and “Black Panther’s suit is also It’s so funny, even the design of the live-action movie version is better.” “Compared to superheroes, they are more like passers-by on the roadside.” “I don’t want to speak for China, but they know better what elements can attract people in character design. Players, make players want to spend money instead of thinking about political or social issues.”
Many players defended "Marvel Confrontation", believing that its comic-style design is more exaggerated and eye-catching. However, this statement was quickly refuted. Some people cited classic characters in Marvel's live-action movies, such as Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Captain America, and Black Panther, pointing out that these characters also combine real-life and CG production. But both the costume design and the overall shape are obviously better than "Marvel's Avengers". This is not a matter of style, but a gap in design quality.
Blogger Asmongold, who previously complained about too many blocked words in "Marvel Confrontation", also caused a topic participated in the discussion. He cited numerous comparisons between "Marvel's Avengers" and Marvel's live-action movies, agreeing that the appeal of character design is the biggest difference between the two.
Him Frankly speaking, the characters of "Marvel's Avengers" made players unable to feel "this is a superhero" from the first glance. This is the fundamental reason for the failure of the game.
