Players ofMarvel Rivalscan now earn a hilarious emote in the game that’s eliciting a range of fun responses online. If you’re entertained by an otherwise violent Marvel character showing off dance moves in-game, this emote might be for you, but you can only get it for a limited time in observance of April Fool’s Day.
From March 31 to April 3,players can get the Symbiotic Boogie emote for Venom, which has him twerk while heart eyes pop out of his face. you’re able to get the emote by completing Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure and collect all 24 rewards from the event tracker. “Don’t let this one wiggle away,” a tongue-in-cheek post on the Marvel Rivals X account about the limited-time emote reads. This is more than certainly the"hidden twist surprise" that the developers promisedwith thisMarvel Rivalsupdate. Reactions range from eye-rolling to enthusiasm for this extremely silly addition to the popular online game.
The Sight Of Venom In Marvel Rivals Twerking Is Too Much For Some
But Most Fans Are Welcoming The Limited-Time Emote
For the most part,Marvel Rivalsplayers think that the Venom twerking emote is hilarious. SeveralRedditusers are joking about the unlockable, with Malikili-360 calling the emote their “favorite gender,” and the top comment from MenLover221 calling the emote “peak” whilesharing a GIFdepicting Venom drinking a can of Fanta and an orange Venom performing the dance.
A Venom main calledDuvoziirexpressed hope that it was a permanent addition to the game, saying"I know games like to put in things like this for april fools and takes them back at the end of it." The Marvel Rivals developers have not said either way if players can still perform the dance after April 3.
Marvel Rivals Should Soon Run Better Than Ever Thanks To An Incoming Update
Marvel Rivals' upcoming Season 2 will add more than new heroes and cosmetics: It should also generally improve the game’s performance on PC.
On the other hand, replies to the official X account are mixed. Some are similarly celebrating, while others aren’t too excited. “Please don’t Fortnight[sic]this game,” repliedXuser @gngrkid, presumably referring toFortniteadding licensed characters andallowing players to make them do several real-life dances. One reply fromXuser @MarvelSkins stated, “You are sick. Children play this.” The post was subsequently ratio’d with replies of disagreement.
Marvel Rivals Is Not Afraid To Get Silly, Despite Using Established Characters
Venom Is A Dark Character, But The Movies Showed A Funny Side To Him
Marvel and its parent company Disney are notoriously protective of their intellectual property, so it’s somewhat surprising thatMarvel Rivalsnot only has an emote of Venom twerking, but the game is actively promoting the awfully silly animation. Venom is known as a darker and bloodthirsty character in the larger Marvel canon, and we certainly wouldn’t expect someone like Captain America or Wolverine to be pulling the same dance moves.
At the same time, modern interpretations like Tom Hardy’s version ofVenom in Sony’s film trilogy has taken itself less seriously, with a dancing sequence inVenom: The Last Danceand a memorable scene inLet There Be Carnagewhere Venom crashes a party at a club. Ultimately, the developers ofMarvel Rivalsare simply having some April Fool’s fun, and it looks like most of the community is down for it too.
