Their proportions just seem so... off?

They don't look like superheroes at all. Black widow is supposed to be peak female physique and in avengers 2020 she looks like a rectangle... I guess my point is rivals is stylised and looks good, even if the physiques are highly unrealistic. The avengers 2020 physiques could absolutely look better while still staying within the realm of realism... But instead most of them look like someone's dad/mum wearing a cheap costume.

[@exeecob3488]

​​@@cartozzzTV I mean if you look at female athletes (basically peak physique in a way) they really are mostly rectangles. Though I suppose when it comes to superheroes there's a completely different definition of peak physique at play.

As a person who’s currently studying art, I just want to know… how did they ruin the proportions on the avengers so badly? Why are their feet so small? Why are their torsos so tall? Thor looks like he skips leg day, Hulk’s upper body is taller than his legs and crotch, Black Widow’s hips are nonexistent, and Hawkeye… man. Poor Hawkeye, he’s just a sad rectangle. The proportions just make this an uncanny valley goldmine. I mean… rivals isn’t even meant to be realistic, but the artists clearly had a fundamental understanding of anatomy. And style. And comics. Honestly, the rivals artists are incredible

[@SomeRandoQuacko]

My guess? Rushed casting and staying too much on model. The two good ones I noticed were Hulk (Except when he's blue for some reason, he looks, wrong) and default (or Infinity War?) Iron Man, and what do these have in special? Actual stylisation over the body shape. Everyone else lacks a figure both recognisable and one you'd imagine someone superhuman, they end up looking like just someone random, which is not as much on the actors as it is on the modellers as they could've done changes.

[@zamasuaboveall]

its funny because its not even the fact that its realistic. i mean look at the arkham series, ultimate alliance, injustice, midnight suns, etc.. they capture the realistic art style while still maintaining their extraordinary appearances. with marvel avengers it just feels like the game devs forget that men can have large bulging muscles in real life and that woman can be skinny and athletic? also some of the faces look too average. its okay to give them sharp jawlines. again, they’re superheroes. you aren’t offending anyone by making them look as such. i just dont get their design philosophy. superheroes are supposed to look and be inspiring. half these guys dont even look like they can inspire themselves to get out of bed and do leg day.

For instance, how Hawkeye’s body has very little muscle definition, despite the fact that he uses a bow which is a core and arm strengthening exercise. He should be much more muscular (especially in his arms and shoulders) than he is in the avengers game, which is just anatomy speaking.

@ What I meant by it, is that better expresses the characters from the comics for instance instead of a tight bodysuit they add little details and nick knacks to the characters that are either important to the character or add to the style of the outfit (this being important because style is expression which leads to better expression of the characters). All of the designs from rivals give you a clear message of who is this character, what's their deal and, what do they do. The avengers don't really do that, all they do is put bodysuits on attractive people and that's that. I was trying to say that I believe that they more put emphasis on characterizing the comic characters through their designs and how they succeeded through that, and criticizing the avengers for boring, unoriginal, and drab designs. I dislike how the avengers didn't have much creativity with their designs as it leads to poor expression of the characters. me not communicating that is on me however and if you just like the designs for the avengers that's also fine.

​@@aurorasdrawingcorner human legs are long as their torso, all hands big as their face, their face can be separated in 3 parts, their hand reaches until the middle of their thigh, mostly... but theres always people who dont fit that. Rivals just uses whats seen as more attractive rather than realistic, like long legs and big eyes (which creep me the hell out but alas). You miss the point that rivals used shape language to lead their designs, you can do that in realistic setting and make it good, but it's a comic book inspired game, so it makes more sense to exaggerate.

[@omicronrho9951]

​@Alector12 technically true. The ideal leg length to body ratio (body includes head) is 50-50 for men, and 55-45 to 60-40 for women. However, blackwidow looks the highest at 50-50 and the men look like the head wasn't even included in the ratio. Realistic, yes, but ugly even by our standards

[@andrewladis5056]

@@Alector12 Not at all. They are way too short.

Wait till you figure out vegans are way healthier

​@@tys1646 They are more likely on average to contact a nutritionist, more likely to take food supplements otherwise they die of various deficiencies but yeah it's a lot more healthy than having the basic diet of a human being, omnivorous.

[@phoboswhiplash]

Thanks to the movies, there was a time in which people forgot that these characters are colourfull, stylish comic book characters, not actors. Glad Rivals took inspiration from the real source

[@ElectroDimentonCrew]

Este juego ya debería ser objetivo a investigar para muchos desarrolladores lol. Lo que hicieron fue un juego como servicio exitoso y gratuito. EN 2024 !! Les aseguro que este juego estará vigente por lo menos los próximos 5 o 7 años próximos. Si no es que consigan extender la fórmula y enriqueciéndola con buen contenido podría durar hasta 10 años en el mercado. Pero si bien es fórmula exitosa a que se debe realmente su éxito después de tantos fracasos en la industria compitiendo por un mismo mercado?

[@demonetiz3d]

The suits in the avengers game look like they all want to die soon

[@ytsuxmuhd4998]

Black Panther lookin like he just came outta Spirit of Halloween 😂😂

[@yourweirdplant]

It's not the art style, it's the soul. I look at Marvel Rivals and recognize the soul and passion in the characters, and that allows me to recognize the actual characters. I look at Marvel Avengers and struggle to recognize the characters

[@beowulfcarpenter5640]

Ok captain america design was actually really cool

[@hikigayahachiman3968]

1:55 looks fine

[@rayanderson5797]

Yeah Thor looks pretty decent in both. The Avengers one looks more like Chris Hemsworth, but the dude was well-suited to the part.

[@FandomChronicle]

Its their demeanor as well, chest out, stern looks, ready-to-fight stances, you know like a SUPERHERO

[@WoodlandDrake]

who was it that said that a key component of character design was to ensure that the character had a recognizable silhouette?

[@lemurtheory9350]

The thing is that in a world where supers and people that can keep up with supers exist they would look more like rivals anyway.

[@maravreloaded]

I don't want to be real I want to have FUN. If I were looking for something real I would open the window. I play games to ESCAPE the real world.

[@cheerful_crop_circle]

I agree with you but honestly speaking, gameplay and performance matter much more than graphics and art style. If you choose a game based on its graphics and art style rather than its genre and gameplay style , then you are limiting yourself.

[@Ex0t1cButt_ers]

@cheerful_crop_circle I choose games based on all of these things. Art style makes it look interesting, and gameplay makes it feel interesting.

[@gannielukks1811]

​@cheerful_crop_circleAnd the Avengers game actually has a great gameplay

[@Gr1nd0r]

Realism is good when you play games that are focused on warfare and or history but with games that are Hero based or Fantasy Artstyle is always more important

[@Commander_Appo]

It doesn’t help that Avengers has really sucky posing. At the very least, good posing would make them pop out more

[@AlgaeEater09]

They look like NPCs from GTA4

[@libraryphantom]

I'm crying at how all the male characters except the hulk have the same boxy rectangle for a torso. I'm half convinced that they didn't alter the models at all from the shoulders down

[@domokun845]

Black Panthers panther beanie just took me out.

[@madlad2167]

Art-style all the way I love how it feels like in rivals they have more of a comic book feel going for it. Realism over time just doesn’t age well and I get uncanny valley by looking at the avengers game.

[@toyota_avanza]

one is a comic book character and the other one is people cosplaying character design really affects on how you look at the game itself, no matter what the genre

[@abjak2026]

Having actually played the avengers game, I don't think all of the designs were bad, especially in motion when playing as them, but they played a lot of it way too safe and could have gone far more stylized. Hulk's skins are generally pretty cool, and so are Thors, but those characters are naturally more stylized than the others. Some of Iron Mans were cool and felt closer to the movies than the comics, and Captain America had some cool skins as well, but in general it feels like they went a little too minimal with the designs, and a big part of what makes the designs bland is the very samey body proportions. A good chunk of Rival's style comes not from the designs themselves, but the super stylized body proportions which make the designs look naturally more dynamic.

[@レモンとチーズ]

Marvel Rivals: 🗿 Avengers: 😴

[@morse2511]

Glad they really push towards stylized look for Marvel Rivals, hate when devs stuck in the middle between stylized or realism which result in a meh design.. Avengers 2020 is a good example

[@KlLLMOCRACY]

Realism???? Aint nobodys torso lookin like that Hawkeyes 😅

[@mr.slimeyt]

At one point i began thinming if the other one is just you trying to make it from GTA 😂

[@ariehendrawan9784]

Nothing bad, just not everyone loves stylized char and not everyone loves realistic style.

[@ghostpalladino1679]

Marvel rivals look like a living comic, like they turned a whole comic into a game. Although, there are things in comics that wouldn't fit so well in real life and only works in comics.

[@yourtsar824]

The Avengers skins all look so wrong and off. None of them look good imo, maybe Hulk but that's just compared to everyone else.

[@Adoniss99]

Nah I’d say thor is the better of the bunch. Hulk looks fat ngl lmfao

[@flergus-guh]

iron man and black panther are ok-ish in their base skin cus you cant see their face

[@gannielukks1811]

Nah, there's definitely many great skins in the game.

[@KudaGaming83]

Is funny how in Avengers the body from man and woman are almost identical.

[@Knidix]

The worst one is Black Panther's alternate skin. Ooof

[@FrancoDFernando]

Everyone in Avengers has the same body shape lol

[@lopezjdamian]

Hulk actually looks pretty cool in Avengers and I prefer the Superior Iron Man from Avengers since I like the revealed face (and it looks good) Everything else is an easy diff in favor of Rivals

[@battlefieldb7051]

Going for artstyle over realism with comicbook characters seems logical
