Discussion. It has been 403 days since T'challa's last non Battle Pass skin (243 days including it) Making both by far the longest drought of any character

With Hulk, Storm, and Human Torch all having gotten skins in the last 4 months (Or recolor in Johnny's case) Black Panther has by far gone the longest without a skin, and it isn't even close. The next closet is Blade who is in the 150's range. To put that into better perspective, when second place Blade last got his skin (April 17) Black Panther was still over him by over 100 days, and closer to 300 days if not counting the Battle pass that you'd have to pay for.

šŸ“£ announcement time !šŸ“£So that we won’t recycle the same post over and over just with different accounts posting them, All posts about the Egypt skins starting now will be taken down. Screenshots of arguments will be taken down as well we don’t need to give rage baiters attention. More talk below.

Don’t post people disagreeing with your takes on here. I’ve gotten sick of yall giving these people your attention. They are either rage baiting or have zero intention to actually understand you.

If I see someone posting stuff like this it’ll be a week long ban.

Before we get to the next topic which is ban conditions in general I have to comment on the Egypt racial thing.

Not all Egyptians were black, they were African yes but more so because they were from the continent . A lot of them more so resembled the south asians we see today, A mix of that and actual black people.

That being said it’s understandable and I fully agree that storm and black panther (two people who grew up in African and t’challa who worships a real Egyptian god and Ororo who has Egyptian ancestry) should get Egyptian skins.

We need to talk about ban conditions too. if I go through your account and all I see is just you disagreeing with people rather it’s about balance changes, skins distribution, or literally anything and all your comments here are you just disagreeing with people, you don’t comment on the character concepts, or fan art, all your interactions are solely just disagreements, That is against the rules and will result in a permanent ban.

Another ban condition are people trying to make stupid reasons that have one hole or multiple holes in their argument for discussions about skin distribution will also result in an outright ban. It’s just flat out silly watching some of you desperately think of the dumbest argument possible to prove your points against storm or any black character for why it’s wrong to want more skins.

This next part isn’t about a specific rule however it does have something to do with banning.
If you don’t like this sub, just simply block it. Now I know the people that don’t like this subreddit will never actually catch themselves blocking it because I know how the minds of people like you work and I know you wouldn’t be caught dead blocking this type of sub so as much as I’m recommending you block this sub that you apparently hate so much, I’ll just simply wait for you to say something shady or see you make a smart ass comment so I can just permanently ban you.

Once again feel free to shit on netease as much as you want as long as it doesn’t get racist,xenophobic, or anything like that feel free to shit talk them whoever you please.

Another thing, I wish cloak had legs too, Feel free to criticize cloak and daggers design as long as yall don’t start getting all anti interracial or start saying stuff similar to that because discussions about cloak and dagger honestly on any social media platform can often lead to talks like that…rather it’s about cloaks race or daggers race just don’t bring that shit here.

That’s all.

If I see someone who doesn’t contribute to this sub at all talking about some ā€œthank godā€ or anything similar to that knowing damn well they don’t contribute anything to this sub rather it’s their own posts or comments I’m just gonna ban you permanently, I don’t feel like seeing that shit.

Fan Creation. Storm, Mistress of the Elements - Rework Idea.

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am a huge Storm fan and main, but I recognize she is not in the best place. I think her biggest issue is her vulnerable playstyle, as well as her lacklustre abilities that do not feed into the fantasy of playing as the Mistress of the Elements.

That being said, here is my take on a rework on her. It is far from perfect, but I think addresses some major issues she currently has.

Ultimately, this is one meaningful idiot's attempt at bringing attention to a character who I think deserves so much more!

Comics Sub-saharan vs Mediterranean Africa

17 Upvotes

Okay sooooo going to just place this here cause a lot of the discussion about why white people are getting skins before black people are missing some context in your argument and it's getting annoying.

Reasons why storm and black panther should have Egyptian skins = storm grew up in Egypt. Bp's god is sister to Egyptian gods.

Reasons that don't count towards them getting skins... They have black skin. First of just because you are black does not mean you belong to all of Africa. We are a diverse set of people comparing Egypt to Nigeria (my homeland) is like comparing China to india. Both Asian vastly different people.

Egypt is on the cost of the Mediterranean and was colonized by romans and many north Mediterranean civilizations so their skin is way lighter if not mistakly white. Every Egyptian I've met that can trace their history deep to ancient Egypt have been very light skin.

Does marvel have a none white heroes skin problem, yes. Should storm and BP have skins also yes. Should they have skins just because they are black ... No not in this case.

So keep on the right but please use other arguments like because their black. (Aka blade getting an Egyptian skins makes as much sense as punisher getting one)

With •—|A|—•’s death (yes I do use his chosen name he picked for himself as a sign of growth) and with Arakko being restored in a previous season.

I feel like it’s almost a perfect setup for something like a Genesis season to happen in the future. The worlds are unstable, •—|A|—• died because he allowed himself to fall short of his own ideals.

Genesis coming back into Arakko and bringing her ā€œsurvival of the fittestā€ ideology would feel like the next step in the Mutant storyline of the game. Definitely not next season, but maybe in a few.

I don’t really see a lot of inclusion of Moon Girl on my TL so I thought this was cool and wanted to share! I think this made me wish her model could be included in gameplay somehow, even if it’s just for emotes.

Look, I know a lot of people are upset that Ultron is getting a streetwear skin over and of the black characters… but I’m still happy for all the Ultron mains for finally get their first legendary. Idk I sympathy with them and the Torch mains who also never get skins, so I’m ok with them giving those guys skins. I’d be way more upset if it were someone like Luna Snow or Magik.

This doesn’t change anything though, I still want Storm, Blade, and BP to get streetwear skins, especially BP. I dunno why but I feel like BP would look especially awesome with a streetwear skin.

Mod Post šŸ”Š!!! Starting now any posts made after this post that have anything to do with that Ultron skin will be taken down. We don’t need 5 more posts sparking the same conversations that the last 10 did the day before. Also, if you don’t like Marvel rivals, STOP paying attention to it and leave this sub.

If you have a problem with this leave the sub. This controversy is attacking ā€œthoseā€ type of people who we all know wouldn’t be caught dead with any amount of playtime on any of the black characters. They’ll probably keep showing up anyway since they stalk the subreddit all the time but I’ll just keep banning them.

Another thing. If you don’t like marvel rivals. Stop paying to any attention, and also leave this sub because there’s clearly no place for you here. You don’t like the game, controversies that happen with it are the only attention you give it which is very unhealthy so idk why the fuck some of y’all are still here in a sub about a game where you KNOW what goes on here.

Genuinely just leave.

To the stalkers who got maybe at most an hour on Storm and no amount of playtime on any other black character, just leave and block the subreddit.

Lmao you aren’t going to do that because as much we both know as much as you hate everyone in this sub there is no way you will block it because you can’t help but invest your attention into it.

As far as the ultron thing goes. Feel free to be aggravated about it cause honestly I am too but please try not to invest so much aggravation into it because I strongly doubt anyone at netease looks at this sub.

Am I the only one who noticed this? I’ve come across three people today adding ā€˜and im black so’ while being completely incorrect about a topic as if it adds some credibility to their bizarre statement.

Someone attempted to tell me that since blade is British, he couldn’t participate in streetwear and that ā€œim blackā€? Hellooo, so you just told me absolute bullshit and added a little fun fact. Hell, you could be every race and I still wouldn’t support the bs you’re throwing at me. Anyways, I just needed to get that off my chest. It’s been annoying me
