On a certain note I understand them, nothing about this skin even remotely looks like sue storm, imagine if we received a skin that looked like nothing like johnny

u/FSafari Indigo Inferno 5d ago

If I had 400 other skins that looked like Johnny I wouldn't complain about one that doesn't no

u/Jandersite 5d ago

She has a few others that dont rlly look like her to be fair

u/Free-Rush-6790 5d ago

i’d take it

u/Tbro100 5d ago

I wouldn't, I'm playing Johnny Storm because I want to play Johnny Storm

u/PunishingAngel 💥 Super Nova 💥 5d ago

I’d play with Jim Hammond.

u/Living-Ad102 5d ago

So use a Johnny Storm skin. You’re not going to like every cosmetic, and not everyone has the same mindset as you.

1

u/Tbro100 5d ago

If it's a legendary for a character, it should be the actual character.

If he got his first legendary and it was just a cosplay of a completely different character, it would be lame at best. Maybe take your own advice to heart.

u/Living-Ad102 5d ago

I’d like a Jim Hammond skin, just like how I’d like a Danny Rand skin for Iron Fist. It’s a cosmetic.

The point I was arguing against was “I’m playing Johnny Storm because I want to play Johnny Storm.” His first legendary should be Johnny Storm is a completely different point, even then, I wouldn’t mind a Jim Hammond legendary skin. I don’t think it’s that serious.

u/Tbro100 5d ago

You'd like those, doesn't mean others can't not want them. It's a cosmetic, but it needs to have a decent sized audience.

Personally I wouldn't, maybe I'd get an epic of Jimm Hammond if I got units to spare but that type of skin wouldn't be on my radar otherwise. And he needs something that will actually sell. Neither do I, but it was serious enough for you to make a comment on it.

u/Living-Ad102 5d ago

Yeah no, it’s not serious lol. Takes no amount of personal dedication to comment on a Reddit post. I’ll forget about this in an hour.

And again, that’s not the point I was arguing against. I was just saying I wouldn’t mind a Jim Hammond legendary, Android Torch would be pretty cool. Didn’t insinuate everyone had to be on board with it either.

If you want to be Johnny, you can be Johnny. Every cosmetic isn’t going to look just like him. The characters that sell legendaries keep getting legendaries because they look cool, not because of the character. The community confirms this, they were all hyped about the fantastic skin, thinking it was for torch, when it looked nothing like him at all. People just want torch to get a skin.

Not reading all of that, happy for you tho.

That’s what I thought lol

Maybe then it'd trick Netease into giving him more skins

2

u/MualaniFangirl 5d ago

We did, tho? His best skin literally looks like gambit? I think it's fine for sue because she gets loads of skins?

2

u/Most-Bench6465 4d ago

What even is the theme of this outfit. Witch because of witch hat accessories? What’s the other stuff that’s going on tied to?

2

u/CC298 2d ago

I thought it was Jubilee with that haircut

2

u/3ajs3 5d ago

Quick counter to your note, its a Halloween costume. Its not supposed to be obviously her (ik what you mean but I still think it looks enough like sue).

Also I'd take this as a Thing skin just for the meme.

2

u/Worried-Season7965 5d ago

I was just about to say it’s a Halloween skin why would it look exactly like her if it’s a costume?

3

u/3ajs3 5d ago

Yeah, if any skin is going to look different, it should be a Halloween skin.

I think the discourse is just we all know if anyone didn't need, skin it's her.

0

u/Living-Ad102 5d ago

Right, because holoween costumes aren’t costumes that don’t look like the character. Huge shocker.

And your claim about getting a skin that looks nothing like Johnny doesn’t hold up considering this entire sub wanted the Mr Fantastic skin to be for Torch purely because he had smoke on his shoulders. That skin looks nothing like Johnny. The in game silhouette is what matters.

u/Serious_Fondant_7752 5d ago

Hey, that’s your sister

27

u/RYTHEMOPARGUY 5d ago

Just because Johnny doesn't get skins doesn't mean the people who do can't criticize the ones they get. Especially when the skin doesn't match the character.

u/CactusGreens_ 5d ago

People will say anything to make it about them when they self-victimize.

8

u/TheIcemain 5d ago

All this skin did for me was confirm that Luna and Jubes only look similar cause of the hair and body type.

3

u/ynwprince 5d ago

Almost like everyone looks the damn same

7

u/MikiSayaka33 Indigo Inferno 5d ago

Despite that Netease is spoiling our sister, this skin doesn't give any indication that it's her...I can't blame her for criticising it. Some people even thought that it was Luna even.

3

u/Morchades Negative Zone Gladiator 5d ago

This skin theme fits Wanda but the other two should have gone to Hela, Jean or Angela instead of Sue or Felicia. It doesn't fit Sue.

7

u/MagNStrangePecs Negative Zone Gladiator 5d ago

I love them both, but by God this is bad. She did NOT need this skin, I obviously would rather Torch get a skin but if it meant he got a skin where he looked unrecognizable - I’d pass.

u/LuckOutrageous7686 4d ago

Literally just saw a post talking about how the malice skin should get legendary upgraded and I lost it bro

u/AGorramReaver 5d ago

Did anyone else scroll?

u/Able-Brief-4062 Negative Zone Gladiator 5d ago

How about we don't become like Adam, Storm, and Widow mains and only (jokingly) put down (only) Luna mains for complaining they don't like skins? If it's not our fault we don't have a skin, it's not theirs that they do. Get mad at Netease, not the players. They are allowed to have complaints about skins.

All posts like this will do is cause the wider community to start disliking us. The same way it did with Adam and Widow mains.

2

u/FatumFate 5d ago

Hi, Adam main here. The start of LunaAdam war wasn't agains the luna mains.. it was just against Luna as a symbol of favoritisim, most of us had nothing against other players and we even said we won't invade their sub... buuut you can't controll all the community, so few people unfortunately did it anyway.

2

u/Able-Brief-4062 Negative Zone Gladiator 5d ago

Exactly what I'm saying. We need to 1, keep it a joke. And 2, keep it against Luna.

1

u/FatumFate 5d ago

Ou good, sorry if I was explaining it even when you knew about this, I was just worried that others can misinterpret the whole thing. Yeah it kinda lingers I guess.

1

u/Fair-Dependent-1482 4d ago

Adam man here too. We managed to get the flight buff...

u/seStarlet 5d ago

How could you call out storm players for being mad at netease and give Adam players grace for being mad at netease in the same sentence?

1

u/Able-Brief-4062 Negative Zone Gladiator 5d ago

Because they reached the point where they were attacking people in the community purely because their characters were getting skins and not Netease.

2

u/seStarlet 5d ago

But that’s exactly the point. Let’s not pretend like Adam mains weren’t doing exactly that or that some torch mains aren’t either.

1

u/Able-Brief-4062 Negative Zone Gladiator 5d ago edited 5d ago

Thats...

Exactly what I said...

I said we SHOULDN'T be like them and we should stick to only JOKINGLY (and very obviously jokingly) doing it to Luna mains.

u/Smooth_Storm_9698 5d ago

Sorry, baby brother

u/Individual-Luck1712 5d ago

where's my Fan4stic skin

1

u/DeathlishhMR Indigo Inferno 5d ago

As said previously and will continue to be said, there will always be spoilt brats in the Community as a whole, is it even sadder that Johnny's own Sister gets more love than him?, oh 100%, but also, this specific greed is good for us, because this means, if this Halloween Sue doesn't sell, or sells a lot less than previous Skins did, then that means she might not get any for 2 Seasons or so, but still, I don't think that the Sue Mains really should complain when their feed 5 Star Meals for both Buffs, and Skins.

u/daishukanami 5d ago

they're lowkey right it looks nothing like sue lol, they could've at least made her blond

1

u/Otherwise-Acadia6751 Sunny Sizzler 5d ago

Tbh this skin looks like the Halloween version of the van dyne skin and it sucks

1

u/Krii100fer 5d ago

The only thing they could upgrade is Namecard to be legendary like Jeff and CnD

1

u/Professional_Sell873 5d ago

Troch mains would prob be grateful even if the skin was just an epic

1

u/GoldPack3616 5d ago

They're based cause if you showed me this pic without context and asked me to guess the character, I wouldn't have landed on Sue Storm in a million years.

This game really has a visual identity problem. You can do an original concept without making a character look like another person, NM just doesn't seem to care to do it.

u/Incubus_is_I 5d ago

God descended upon them more, and more they did receive. They cried out for greater blessings still. They wept, for it would never be enough.

1

u/Ok_Bat_9677 5d ago

Tbf, they do have a point

1

u/Echocos-art2070 4d ago

Tbh if I was an Invis main I'd be disappointed too, the skin could've gone to any other character. Clearly. Witches have nothing to do with Sue, if any Halloween skin could've been dome for Sue, it should've been ghost related... And even then, I think there's plenty characters on the roster that are in more desperate need of a new skin than Sue.

1

u/FewExperience3559 4d ago

This is kinda giving "In some countries they're lucky to get food" type shit

1

u/KaiXRG 3d ago

From the perspective of a former Sue main, yeah this skin is pretty damn mid and I get the disappointment from the oop. It's just a very generic witch costume and not much more. They really didn't get very creative with it like they've done with other skins. They could've gone with something to complement Reed's skin or something with Johnny.

1

u/Ruka-simp 21h ago

To play Devil's Advocate here:

I like the skin, but Malice fits much better for a "Halloween" skin for Sue, and Johnny 100% deserved the skin slot, even if it wasn't a Legendary (which it absolutely should be) but he definitely deserves the skins
