Summary
Marvel Rivalshas revealed a newfangled cinematic trailer at San Diego Comic - Con 2024 , further exploring the primary plot line of Marvel Games and NetEase Games ' third - person hero shooter . It ’s been known since the original announcement of the game thatMarvel Rivalswould essentially be a multiversal story , with new worlds and Spider - Variants such as Peter and Peni Parker fighting side - by - side in the game ’s various arenas . However , the fresh trailer provided more context into why the hoagie are at betting odds , provide a proper feel at the game ’s main scoundrel , Dr. Doom , as well as Thor , a playable eccentric who had been leaked before but was n’t sport in the Closed Alpha playtest .
Thor will be join theClosed Beta playtestalongside Jeff the Land Shark , as reveal in an additional , endearing reveal trailer at SDCC that ’s currently on theMarvel RivalsYouTube line .
I altogether expected Thor to appear at some period as a playable hero regardless of the outflow , just because Loki is already in the plot , and the God of Thunder has been used in so much current Marvel medium due to his increase in popularity with mainstream audience over the years - most likely due to his enactment by Chris Hemsworth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - that his skip would feel jarring . The character I was more emotional to see , however , was Dr. Doom . Doom was announced in the press release that accompaniedMarvel Rivals ' first trailer , and it was readable he would play a major part in the story , but this is the first we have seen of the character and his succeeding variant .
InMarvel Rivals ' account , the cardinal clash between Doctor Doom and his next opposite number from the class 2099 has force countless universes to clash in the Timestream Entanglement , creating Modern worlds and crises . From a gameplay perspective , the population continually develop in - plot in such a direction extend the opportunity for regular seasonal updates and other post - launch content . From a story perspective , these fresh dimensions can show some of the Marvel population ’s greatest heroes and villains ' confederation shifting as they have to band together to defeat both Dooms and make unnecessary their several realities .
Marvel Rivals features some of Marvel ’s most popular graphic symbol from the Avengers , X - Men , Guardians of the Galaxy , and more !
Many Audiences May Not Be Familiar With Just How Powerful Dr. Doom Is
The Movies Have Botched The Character Twice Now
While I am fully aware that more general actor will be diving into the online battles to see iconic Marvel fibre fighting and wo n’t be as focused onMarvel Rivals ' storyline , I am glad that the game does have a story and that Marvel and NetEase Games have opted to put Dr. Doom so prominently within it . Dr. Doom is an extremely popular villain in the comics - and potentially an ally should the heroes ' goals align with his own or do good him in some direction - but he has not been fairly portray in some of the more mainstream spiritualist .
Both iterations of theFantastic Fourmovies - no , I am not including the 1994 Roger Corman one as itwasn’t formally released- have bollocks Dr. Doom in many ways over the years . Not only did both the 2005 cinema and its 2015 reboot tie Doom ’s origins closely to the titulary heroical squad ’s - he blamed his disfigurement on The Fantastic Four ’s Reed Richards ( aka . Mr Fantastic ) in many iteration , but he was n’t involved in the missionary work in which the Hero of Alexandria get their superpower - but they also take many central elements that made Doom such a threat in the strip .
In the comics , Dr. Doom is not only the monarch of Latveria , but he is also an exceedingly skilled sorcerer and an discoverer with genius - level reason , often being depicted as one of the most reasoning being in the Marvel universe . As such , he is often fit out with next - level engineering , such as his Doombots , and has handle enough magical office and ability to become the Sorcerer Supreme at one point after Doctor Strange relinquished the title . The moving-picture show reading , however , show him as either a businessman or a scientist who gets eitherlightning or telekinetic powersfrom the same experiments as The Fantastic Four and often portray his rivalry with Reed as rather one - note , normally involving fight for the heart of Sue Storm ( aka . The inconspicuous Woman ) .
From the feeling of it , the newFantastic Fourmovie wo n’t have Dr. Doom as the cast announcements have suggest that it will be pore on Galactus and Silver Surfer , and candidly , while I would love to see a more strip - precise edition of Dr. Doom appearing in the MCU at some point , I cerebrate that it ’s probably for the in force that Marvel Studios has n’t rebooted the serial a third time with another " Fantastic Four vs. Dr. Doom " picture show , so I am fine with him popping up later .
One character ’s comic - accurate ability is making them exceedingly overcome in Marvel Rivals , clearing out whole teams with one move .
I Am Glad Marvel Rivals Picked Dr. Doom To Be A Key Part Of Its Story
Complete With His Comic-Accurate Abilities
In the lag , however , I am hoping that with not one but two Dr. Dooms inMarvel Rivals , the game can show more mainstream audiences that may only be familiar with the picture show and may still be see the wide Marvel Universe in other metier can see just how impressive of a quality he can be . The SDCC preview already showed Doombots swarming the heroes , and the fact Doom is clashing with a succeeding counterpart indicates thatthe character ’s intellect and scientific nature is definitely going to have in the biz ’s write up , and he can be date wielding magic atop his palace in Latveria in the poke ’s mop up moment , hint that his necromancer abilities and monarch position will be present as well .
Admittedly , Dr. Doom has had a better racetrack record in his plot appearances than his movie onesand has featured in theMarvel Ultimate Alliancegames , but exclude the Nintendo Switch - sole third entry , Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 : The Black Order- where he appear as the titular antagonist of the DLC epilog depict inShadow of Doom - the first two games are n’t approachable to many current role player any longer where they were delist from digital shopfront along with the other Activision Marvel games and are n’t usable through backwards compatibility on modern platform with a physical copy either . This is the case with somany past Marvel titles , and it ’s a real shame as so many of them told great stories that were n’t charm by the picture depictions - barring the movie crosstie - ins , obviously - and focused solely on how the character appeared in their comic iterations .
fortuitously , it does look like while Marvel is focusing on fiber that have proven to be popular throughout the MCU - such as Avengers , Guardians of the Galaxy , and theever - popular Spider - Man- in their late gaming ventures , these title are open to experimenting with their portrayals while also bringing over other characters from the cartoon strip , so hopefully Dr. Doom ’s major comportment inMarvel Rivalsis a good sign of thing to come , as the game could introduce so many more depictions of fibre from other media who players may not be as familiar with . After all , they already have Luna Snow and Jeff the Land Shark confirmed as playable characters .
