Sure thing, I’ll get right into it.

Alright, so Marvel’s got this crazy lineup of characters, right? The movies? They’ve turned these folks into household names. Now, Marvel Rivals is doing this new monthly thing with hero reveals or something. Eventually, they’ll have to dig deep into the roster or pull out some of those under-the-radar types. I mean, why not bring Captain Marvel into the game? She’s been, let’s say, controversial, mostly due to Brie Larson and some stuff she said. People have been hating on her so much longer than necessary—like, let it go already. But hear me out: Captain Marvel in this game could be genius.
So, what’s the big beef with Captain Marvel? Some of it’s about the movie’s script or her character coming off a bit too serious. Others were mad she wasn’t super active in certain flicks. And in the comics? Yeah, she hit a rough patch during that Civil War 2 storyline. Fans were split, let’s say. So sure, if she joins Marvel Rivals, expect some drama. But honestly, it might just be the shake-up the game needs.
I’ve got a soft spot for Captain Marvel. Loved her in pretty much anything, and I’ve got a stack of comics to prove it. I was genuinely bummed when that Avengers game closed shop before we got Carol Danvers in action—I wanted to see her team up with Kamala so bad. But okay, playing favorites aside, she’d be killer in Marvel Rivals. The game’s missing a flyer like her, you know?
Imagine her more like a tank because she’s got that larger-than-life vibe. We’ve seen others take on that role, and Captain Marvel fits right in, especially with her stature and presence. Right now, dealing with flying enemies is kinda tricky in Marvel Rivals. Vanguards don’t have much in their toolkit for that. Although, hats off to NetEase—they’re working on it. They’ve got these new moves for The Thing to tackle airborne threats. Adding Captain Marvel specifically to handle flyers could be the missing piece.
Now, I get it. Maybe someone’s worried she would blend in with other blondes in the lineup. But hey, what about a mohawk? And those suits—mix it up! A splash of color never hurt anyone.
Alright, let’s toss around some ideas for her skillset. Captain Marvel could fly like Iron Man, maybe with a special speed boost. She swoops in, fast and furious. Her combat? Think energy blasts and powerhouse punches, with a twist—kind of like charging up her attacks as she takes hits. It’d encourage some aggressive gameplay. Get a healer on the team to keep things spicy. As a Vanguard, a rally-style ability could fit, giving her team a temporary boost.
Would Carol win a popularity vote? Maybe not. But so what? If she’s good for the game mechanics, the haters and fans alike might just find some common ground. All for the sake of fun, right? That’s what counts at the end.
Done.
