Marvel Rivals is out and has been taking the video game landscape by storm. Dethroning Overwatch 2 almost overnight, this team shooter game is one of the most popular Marvel properties to come out since the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This comes especially at a time where Marvel's struggled with their films.
So what does Marvel Rivals do as an adaptation of the classic superheroes that Disney isn't doing with the MCU? Can the House of Ideas take a few from this? And seriously, how many times do I have to show Venom in my videos before I make a full-blown Venom video essay?
