The latest Marvel Rivals Season 2 update dropped, and, as expected, the internet is buzzing with reactions. This time, though, it’s not just the usual excitement over new character skins; no, the Marvel Rivals community has given us a whole new level of witty commentary. With 16 new skins to peruse in Marvel Rivals, you'd think fans would be all in, but instead, they're roasting the designs with savage precision.
It’s one thing to get a few casual complaints on a game update, but what’s happening here is something else entirely. Players have taken to social media, flooding platforms with their hilarious observations about the skins, and the internet, of course, is loving every minute of it.
From not-so-subtle jabs at Scarlet Witch’s repeated looks to the desperate cries for some new Squirrel Girl love, fans are showing their creative humor and letting the devs know exactly what’s on their minds. Let’s dive into what made this post go viral and why these reactions are gaining traction.
The Marvel Rivals Skins That Sparked the Chaos
When Marvel Rivals unveiled its latest batch of skins, it wasn’t just a matter of announcing new looks. Fans immediately took to Twitter and Reddit, and within hours, the post went viral. Why? Well, it's simple: People love humor, especially when it's about something they’re passionate about. The truth is, these skins weren't just underwhelming to some players; they became a perfect punchline for internet comedy. The comments rolled in quickly, and it’s clear that fans are not holding back.
Take Scarlet Witch, for example. Fans couldn’t help but notice that her new skins looked almost identical to the previous ones. It was like they took one design and hit “copy-paste” too many times.
"Why do all the Scarlet Witch skins look the exact same? 😭💀"
While some players might’ve expected a bit more variety for such a powerful character, others found humor in the redundancy, making it a prime target for internet comedy.
Meanwhile, Squirrel Girl fans had a very different bone to pick. In a tweet that quickly gained traction, a user exclaimed:
"We need better Squirrel Girl skins, like wtf is this? 😭"
Clearly, the skin fell short of expectations for a character who’s known for her fun-loving, quirky persona. But here’s the kicker: the internet didn’t just complain they ran with it, cracking jokes about how the design didn’t quite do justice to the character’s personality.
And then there’s the matter of Groot. Oh, Groot. The lovable tree hero has long been a fan favorite, but when it comes to skins, it seems players are getting a bit impatient. "Groot skins when!!???" one fan said, summing up the collective frustration. Groot’s unique, iconic look is practically begging for new variations, and players were quick to point out that it’s about time we saw something fresh for him. What’s particularly funny is how the demand for Groot skins has turned into an ongoing inside joke. Everyone wants them, but it feels like they’re stuck in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie waiting room.
Then there's Mantis, who, as usual, is giving everyone else a run for their money with her ‘mugging’ abilities. One clever Twitter user remarked:
“Mantis out mugging everyone as usual…”
Fans couldn’t help but notice how the skin gave Mantis a bit of an edge, making her stand out amid the skin chaos.
Now, it’s not all about complaints and frustration. For some fans, the skins are offering a bit of nostalgia or an amusing moment of "I told you so." A fan cheekily posted:
“I’m not one for ‘I told you so,’ but…”
And it was clear this fan had been predicting this outcome. Sometimes, it feels like the internet is one big group therapy session, with everyone sharing their mutual feelings of "yep, we saw that coming."
One user really hit the mark with:
"Lord have mercy on my soul."
Sometimes, that’s all you can say when you see a skin that makes you question the state of the universe.
At the end of the day, these Marvel Rivals skins might not be perfect, but they’ve given fans plenty of content to laugh about. While some players are genuinely disappointed, the beauty of the internet lies in how quickly people turn frustration into comedy gold.
In fact, the viral reactions to these skins prove that sometimes the best part of a Marvel Rivals update isn’t the skins themselves, it’s how the community reacts to them. So, whether you're loving the new looks or roasting them to the ground, you can’t deny one thing: the Marvel Rivals community knows how to make an update truly unforgettable.
