It shows how going for realism in a fantastical setting can hurt the entire feel of your world. The Avengers models aren't that bad, but they have realistic human proportions, while Rivals has embraced the comic book "heroic" proportions. Same with the overall visual style: MCU color grading (which was already boring in the movies but more so in a video game) vs vibrant comic book colors and black ink. Rivals models are not without faults, but still much more thoughtful and overall in a different league.
This is definitely a situation where people are harder on the graphics because the game is bad. It doesn't look bad. Like black widow, Thor, and Spidey look objectively great. And when marvel rivals first announced and even now people say it looks like a mobile game.
@@ducasse8473realistic is not "average human body build", Captain America should be be visibly jacked as propaganda icon should be, not look like a dad in Halloween costume
@@ducasse8473 "Objectively". 😂 Black Widow's skins and Thor's 1st skin are all devoid of contrast. Thor's 2nd skin looks like a bad cosplay. Spidey looks fine, but it's really hard to get Spidey's costume wrong.
@@dziewiaty the problem with this opinion is not understanding context. Like the Marvel's avengers game is CLEARLY going for a style that is trying to resemble the MCU as much as possible while not strictly copying it. Like the spider man games, like the upcoming Captain America game, like the guardians games, etc. marvel's WHOLE shtick out outside of the comics (and even within alot of the comics) IS REALISM.
what reality? that natasha loked like a horrendous trans woman no sorry there's trans women better looking than that so this masculinized unapealing female character trend is killing games like flys
@@Mr.Drew70 Nah Insomniac tried to make Spiderman as close as Comic spiderman while still being realistic, You will notice Insomniac spiderman wears a Skin tight Suit with very little body fat ratio, every single muscle is defined just like how It's in the comic and That's an intentional design, that's what separates you from Insomniac character designers, On the other hand The reason why Marvel Avengers look so bad because it leans too much into Reality, Realistic Body fat ratio, No proper Muscle definition, They don't looked ripped out etc etc which makes them look like rather more Cosplayers cosplaying Marvel characters than The characters itself
@ marvel’s Avengers literally did the exact same thing as Marvel Spider-Man. They also made it as close to the comics as possible while still being realistic. This is your logic, dude you’re the one that made this reality. And by that logic Marvel Spider-Man should be shit too. The other marble games look realistic too, and you’re not complaining. What was it with all that white spider on the suit? If avengers did that you would call it terrible. Just admit your bias and move on.
@@Mr.Drew70First I never said games that mimic real life are bad, I just think Stylization is in my Opinion Superior in every way. Also insomniac Spiderman's costume is very well designed compared to these Avengers cosplays.
Imo Captain America in rivals is extremely basic compared to avengers cap. Like in the avengers you could extend your comboes by kicking your shield, create shockwaves by punching it while your guarding. Black widow was also much more interesting, like she could use her grappling hook all she wanted her bracelet gauntlets were actually functional, her batons were just as good as her guns, she actually felt like black widow and not.......widow maker. And honestly I think they did the MCU style very well. The only reason they would go for the comic style here is because they want the game to run well on most systems. Marvel the avengers, notoriously does not.
Actually shades on the artists because they probably sat together & agreed on no muscular male & sexy female. MCU goes for realistic as well but the costumes/makeups are miles better than this crap. Let just agree some "artists" were just talentless.
Rivals is based on the Comics which has its own Aesthetic style which is closer to the anime. While Avengers is just your generic photorealistic slop made easy by modern tools and it's why it feels soulless.
@@endmii3912 Were talking about the style photorealistic is just not good and will always look old and outdated after a few years while a stylistic design will stand the test of time and never look old. Also Rivals Ironman is basically just Ironman in the comics with a different mark suit. While Cap and Hawkeye are close to their original designs just made future tech.
Everything about Marvel Rivals is fantastic. The art style, the mechanics, the animations, and the power fantasy are all top tier. There are limited game modes, but the long term potential is high. I can’t wait to see what the future will bring. Blizzard better be on guard because this is an Overwatch killer.
I don't think OW will every truly die. It'll just become a 2nd tier hero shooter like Paladins. Or who knows, maybe Rivals will be the kick in the pants needed to get them to take their game seriously again.
what marvel's avengers lack was the sense of character style, they all feel like just regular people cosplaying as them, they made the characters look realisticly proportioned to be a video game
@@Mr.Drew70They are superheroes and they have to be strong because they are based on people in real life like firefighters or police officers, being super skinny is the definition of "it's not like that", saying that they look better because they look like a family doing using super cosplay heroes is an unpopular opinion.
@@Mr.Drew70 Insomniac gave spidey a suit that hangs on like paint and shows all the details of the body. Venom is a triangle. Avengers makes loose clothing that hides body contours. Characters wear round looking shirts that ruin the silhouette of the torso. They overdid realism, losing so much detail and straight up went against design philosophies for 2D characters, which all these characters are derived from. So no. Insomniac and Avengers didn't do the same thing.
@ Yes, they did. Insomniac literally gave Spider-Man a white spider logo on his suit. If avengers did that you would’ve hated it. Admit it, dude your bias you only like it when insomniac does it. Stop making up your own reality and accept that they both did the exact same thing. Avengers has some of the best character designs I’ve seen in comic books. In fact, they’re more faithful to the comics than insomniac ever is. Just admit your bias and move on
No exactly accurate because for action-adventure games, realistic and/or detailed graphics are more or less necessary , especially for atmosphere and immersion. Stylized art style can ruin the atmosphere and immersion of a game.
The Marvel's Avengers game had so god damn much potential but as every other life service game in the last 5-7 years SQUARE ENIX just fucked it up with lies and bugs
I may be one of the few who actually enjoyed the marvel avengers game. Live service was a terrible idea but each of the characters felt so in depth & unique. Unfortunate they rushed & were not ready
Fantastic video. I reckon this is the perfect demonstration of why Concords artstyle failed too. By going hyper realistic, you lose so much personality. There's just so much stuff you can do with even a slightly cartoon style that if you try to render as photo realistic just comes off as... bad cosplay.
it's crazy because people made a similar comparison of the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance vs Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and everyone unanimously said the realism of MUA 1 beats the cartoon style of MUA3. I've ALWAYS hated the costume design of the MCU and I think they should just make all the movies animated at this point. regardless, the more it looks like a comic, the more i'm going to enjoy it.
I don’t agree a 100% but bcs of the MCU Marvel has butchered its animated projects Sony does all the work by making the spiderverse movies so I think they should invest in both and just saying I don’t need another connected universe bcs I’m tired of the multiverse shit just make movies based on the best comics where we can actually see masterpieces without worrying about the timeline
@@snowymountainface Even if design is subjective, people will subconsciously gravitate toward designs that adhere to the fundamental elements of design.
i remember viktor’s line, something like “in pursue of doing great, we failed to do good” the point of a superhero comic world is it’s supposed to be fun and cartoony. the left tried so hard to be realistic and ended up being much less interesting than the right one
Rival is the attitude it has, like you know they're the sht you can feel their vibe through the colours, the expressions and the overall aura and not to mention they're sexy asf
It's been said ad nauseum at this point, but Rivals is just dripping with style and SE Avengers look like they're all based off the same model. Give us more unique art styles and stop chasing realism!
Nah... He looks just like a dude cosplaying. Even Sony Spidey games have better models whille going for more realism for most characters ( expect second part MJ, she doesn't look like a woman there but anyway...). Rivals cooks
Only Hulk Bucky and Iron man look good in the avengers game but they look amazing in marvel rivals which is why even the MCU should learn from this game that not everything has to be over designed and sometimes making an animated movie is better than making a CGI disaster
@@michaeljhale23 he said she doesn't look fit. That is an insane perspective to have. The Widow in Rivals looks significantly less like a real athlete than the Avengers one. I don't care if he prefers it, I do as well. But to say that she doesn't look fit is really stupid.

Avenger came out just after endgame and was presumably developed at the height of mcu's popularity. Rivals' design ironically benefit from having some breathing room away from the mcu.
@@MarioPabloAldeeb you're probably right and i hope that stays like that, cause americans just like to destroy their own franchises in the name of dumb ideals.
Insomniac the only studio who should handle marvel games. Marvel rivals art looks amazing too. These 2 studios especially insomniac do well in marvel. I can’t wait for the wolverine game
Perhaps it depends on the genre, I would say , in first person video games, realistic art style/graphics is much better choice but in third person , maybe stylized unless it is some very deep story driven or atmosphere focused game
Imagine we get a single player story game with Marvel Rivals visuals. Would be so great. Enough of this dour, muted “realism”. Leave that for the movies. I wanna play a comic book. Reason why I’m looking forward to the Blade game in development.
The design approach of the Avengers is so attached to the MCU movie version so much so it looks blend and uninteresting. Realistic design can look good if they put more 'imagination' when making the characters. It seems they just don't want to take the risk and go with the movie to change it up a bit that's it.😅
Exactly that. Square Enix and Capcom do a great job doing stylized realistic graphics with Final Fantasy and Resident Evil. They clearly want the characters to look as realistic as possible, but they still look anime inspired enough to not make them look like real ppl
I think what the massive difference between rivals and avengers is other than stylization is the character poses in the select screen. Avengers has them all in a neutral “meh” position and this makes them feel more like cosplayers as well
the problem with avengers is the silhouette, character design should be distinct from one another if you remove all the details and just have a single color silhouette, you should be able to identify which character is that. Its clear that the avengers have liek the same body model for all which makes them less unique and distinguished. Looking at rivals they give the character a distinct pop, which hits well in your eyes the first you see it and the details only adds more and amplies the distinction of the characters.
In my opinion, not every superhero video-games (or any video-games) in the west needs to be this hyper realistic graphics. I really love the character designs and aesthetics in Marvel Rivals because they embrace the whole fantastical/ Fantasy Sci-fi world that needs like a true comic book world. As much as I love those Insomniac Spider-Man games, but I'm just not fan of character designs in those games. It just feels weird that they're trying to make the characters look more realistic instead of making them look more comic booky, in my opinion.
idk what they were thinking w/ that original thor design for that avengers game. he doesnt even look like its for anything norse, more akin to athens/roman
Biggest problem with the game I’ve said since day 1 is you are in a video game universe and are trying to be like the mcu instead of your own thing limiting yourself to the constraints of reality when in a video game you don’t have to worry about all that, that’s why the guardians game was better it was its own thing and took advantage of being a video game.
I really like Captain America on PS5 more, just because he looks a lot like the one from the skit. "Are you really gonna be the first ever human to launch a nuclear weapon to a populated city?"
If they are given the choice to make interesting and stylized silhouettes for characters than there should be no reason for them to choose a realistic style for superheroes over a more fantastical style free from realistic restrictions.
Well, I understand their reasoning. At the time the Avengers game was being developed, the MCU was at its absolute peak, so the devs did their best to mimic that kinda movie realism. Obviously now the MCU has fizzled somewhat and anime inspired stuff has just taken off in video games. It's a danger of long dev cycles and being unable or unwilling to stay ahead of trends.

idk what they were thinking w/ that original thor design for that avengers game. he doesnt even look like its for anything norse, more akin to athens/roman
Biggest problem with the game I’ve said since day 1 is you are in a video game universe and are trying to be like the mcu instead of your own thing limiting yourself to the constraints of reality when in a video game you don’t have to worry about all that, that’s why the guardians game was better it was its own thing and took advantage of being a video game.
What you ordered on amazon vs what was delivered 💀
Never thought to properly look at the models before lmao, they look so off💀
The Avengers game had so much potential. I want Insomniac to take a stab at it
Proves that artstyle will always beat good graphics
Captain America is not my favorite heroe, but seeing the avengers version, it makes me appreciate the one we got from rivals lol
China: Nobody knows more about Captain American than I do😂
Western devs are so cooked 😂
I really like Captain America on PS5 more, just because he looks a lot like the one from the skit.

If they are given the choice to make interesting and stylized silhouettes for characters than there should be no reason for them to choose a realistic style for superheroes over a more fantastical style free from realistic restrictions.
Well, I understand their reasoning. At the time the Avengers game was being developed, the MCU was at its absolute peak, so the devs did their best to mimic that kinda movie realism. Obviously now the MCU has fizzled somewhat and anime inspired stuff has just taken off in video games. It's a danger of long dev cycles and being unable or unwilling to stay ahead of trends.
Marvel Avengers: Realistic
Marvel Rivals: Stylized
2:44 god of hammers vs God of Thunder
Realism vs comic accurate
one thing i wish they did was make the metals look more lustrous, like iron man and lokis gold elements.
Rivals just has the sauce
Don't understand why there's no more R34 from marvel's.
The Avengers models look like people in cosplay 😂
Can u pls make a video about marvel rivals vs marvel future fight?
