Marvel Rivals Season 2 has arrived, introducing an array of exciting new features to the game. With the glamorous addition of Emma Frost, fresh maps, and revamped ranked systems, there is much to be thrilled about. However, the season’s most playful alteration is one that NetEase perhaps felt too awkward to note down—enhancing the rear assets of all male heroes.
Upon the season’s launch, attentive players swiftly observed a curious enhancement in the game’s visual appeal. Yes, that’s correct—every male hero’s posterior has been slightly increased to match their female counterparts (and yes, even the ever-caked up Venom). This quirky tweak didn’t make it to the patch notes, amusingly enough.
The gaming community was quick to react. Reddit lit up with observations and comparisons, with one user detailing, “The men in Marvel Rivals have finally been granted more realistic physiques. It’s subtle, but entirely noticeable,” they commented with a before and after snapshot of Wolverine.
Discussions didn’t stop at Wolverine. Further comparisons emerged featuring Mr. Fantastic, Star Lord, Moon Knight, and The Winter Soldier, where players marveled at the precise crafting involved. A comment humorously noted, “It’s art, really—it’s clear someone fine-tuned these details to perfection.”
This buzz among fans isn’t just borne out of thirstiness for comic heroes; many point to how these characters portray immense strength yet lacked consistency in more human-like body proportions. As one player pointedly put it, “Seeing characters with disproportionately sized arms and then flat butts was just unrealistic. These heroes, according to the source material, have more robust physiques.”
As Season 2 unfolds, players can engage with the newly explained ranks and ranked modes, while staying updated with captivating weekly digests filled with stories from the communities they adore.
