At this point they need to just hire storm fans because these mods I’ve seen are better than anything netease put out for her besides wedding storm.
This is the only skin I don’t own for her and it came out when I took a break from the game😩hopefully they give an update where the hat is toggle able or something.
I would love to have Misty Knight added to the game. Like multiple other heroes, she stars in netease’s other game mystic mayhem and netease likes to share voice actors across games and in my opinion that helps her case, because my fav character moon girl was able to join in some form of fashion so im sure they at least considered her.
Since we already have a dps with a bionic arm(Bucky), Misty can be a long range hitscan tank with a brawly moveset. I think they can give her a damage absorption move where she blocks using her arm and punches like Doomfist from overwatch. Idk I just love her and I think her Afro makes for a unique silhouette.
My favorite thing about Overwatch is they make heroes with very unique silhouettes where I can instantly recognize them from afar and when they have skins on! Here are some female heroes I’d think could be unique in silhouette and gameplay! I liked to pull from various factions of the marvel universe to give more representation for them!
•Medusa Queen of the inhumans- hair tendrils/sheilds
•Dust(Sooraya Qadir)-Dust cloud form can provide area denial
•Shiklah Queen of the Monster Kingdom-Demon Form hybrid role gameplay
•Scream- Also has hair tendrils can be mobile like venom/spiderman
•Misty Knight (Another Defenders member)- Bionic arm and gun makes for a hitscan long range tank and or brawly up close combat
•Jocasta- can have a flying form or perma fly, advanced tech makes for many possibilities including sheilds and shield drones can be a tank support hybrid
•Agatha Harkness- Marvel needs another witch, prefer her to be old can have younger legendary skin with unique voice lines like Lady Loki. Damage absorption abilities
•Thena Eternals-Various Weapon Summons and Shields
At this point, I don’t think the issue is “they can’t show Lunella in-game.” They already are.
She doesn’t need to be a direct combatant to feel present. Peni Parker gets spotlighted constantly through menus, MVPs, emotes, and cosmetics. Moon Girl deserves similar treatment as Devil Dinosaur’s partner and equal other half.
Seeing her fully modeled in-game honestly gives me hope they may have more planned for her later this season.
She already has assets in the game including a model and a voice actress! I think she’d be great as a support mixing magic and technology. Imo I’m pretty confident she’ll be coming sooner than later, because I was able to predict Devil Dino(sadly not with Moon Girl atm I rlly hope they’ll add her at least in the lobby and MVPs like peni AT LEAST) because he also had assets already in the game. I just really hope we get a playable black girl genius some day since my fav isn’t gonna come
I wanted Moon Girl to join not just for the sake of representation. Please hear me out with this, this isn’t an angry rant!
I’m disappointed because I’m a huge fan of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
I’ve been one of the people advocating for them to join Marvel Rivals for over a year. Before Devil Dino even appeared in Deadpool’s trailer. Literally check my Reddit account and even my twitter account. I’ve loved them in Mystic Mayhem. My excitement was never just about checking a representation box. I genuinely love these characters. I bonded with my baby nieces by watching the Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur animated series over and over, and Lunella quickly became one of my favorite Marvel characters.
That’s why this reveal hurts. :(
I’m happy that Devil Dinosaur made it into the game, but I’m disappointed that Moon Girl appears to be limited to voice lines over comms while Devil fights alone. In modern Marvel, these two are a package deal. She is the brains, the heart, and an equal half of the duo.
What frustrates me is seeing aggressive pushback from people who don’t even know the character and are making excuses for why she supposedly couldn’t be included, when there were multiple ways to make it work.
The most common argument is that Chinese regulations make it difficult to depict violence toward child characters. That is a valid concern, but it also has clear workarounds.
The simplest solution would have been to age Lunella up, just like they did with Peni Parker. Moon Girl is around 13–14 in the animated series, and aging her up by a few years would not change the core of who she is. She would still be the same bubbly, brilliant child prodigy, just a young adult. It’s a multiverse, a bunch of heroes in this game are not exact one to one copies of their comic counterparts. Marvel has even shown adult versions of her in the comics, so this would not be some out-of-nowhere idea.
If they did not want her physically on the battlefield, they could have used a hologram or remote-controlled avatar that follows Devil Dinosaur, similar to how the Phoenix Force appears with Jean Grey. The hologram would not need to take damage and could disappear when Devil is defeated.
This would also fit perfectly with the animated series, where Moon Girl remotely pilots a robotic version of herself from a safe distance. They could even show Lunella controlling the avatar from the spawn room while her projection assists Devil in battle.
I honestly understand that if they couldn’t make it work for her on the battlefield, I really wished she had the peni treatment in having her present in intro’s, mvps, and in the select screen. All we got is voice lines, and her signature in the lobby. They’ve been marketed as pivotal roles for each other for over a decade now, I just wish they took extra care for her, she’s an equal part of the duo, I’m not wanting to steal the spotlight from Devil because I love him so much as well.
I’m just disappointed. Not because I wanted “representation for the sake of representation,” but because I genuinely care about Moon Girl as a character and believe there were several creative ways to include her more meaningfully.
I don’t want to be dismissed as part of an angry Twitter mob. I’m speaking as someone who truly loves these characters and wanted to see them treated as equal partners, just like they are in the comics and the show.
I’m grateful that Moon Girl is in the story and that Diamond White appears to be reprising her role. That alone means a lot to me. I just wish Lunella had been given the same level of care and presence on the battlefield as so many other heroes in this game.
There are so many things they can do, obviously if they give her a chance on shop skins they’ll see ppl are willing to spend money. Imo I think the best idea is to rework her to have a better “weather goddess power fantasy” Here are some of the best ideas i thought of or saw:
•Give her stronger vfx+sfx, (ex. make her bolt rush sound like a crack of thunder, wind howling during her ult)
•Her flying seems stiff compared to the other flyers. Give her a horizontal flying mode like all the other flyers that lets her fly faster
•For a weather goddess her kit is shallow, give her a hail ability and a third rainfall aura(heals or gives shields)
•Actually include her in the ongoing lore
She deserves so much better being on of the faces of marvel AND being the most published marvel female hero. Idk how we can get the devs to see this
