hi! a veteran Marvel Future Fight player here! the funny thing about Luna Snow in game is that she is consistently buffed by the dev team, which always puts her in the top meta position since her debut. so in game Luna is literal must-have character for all players, therefore boosts her popularity ingame a lot she's not entirely paywalled, since new players can pick her up through a one-time premium character selector. but then the devs half-paywall her by lock her power under a skin that only sells once a year during christmas. it's very dumb to promote your own original character while also half-paywalling her like that
Just a little correction - her new uniform is paywalled and can only be accessed every summer. Nevertheless, her being consistently buffed and her being top meta in the game whenever that happens is probably the reason why players love her in that game. Setting aside the issue of mobile games thriving of predatory practices with their in-game currencies - even if you fork in the money, you get the most bang for your buck in the PVE side of the game just by simply building her up to the max.
Probably more likely that she was thrown in there to attract a Korean audience to the game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That's the reason she was made in the first place, after all
I love how people hear the term “cold fusion” and immediately think it means “freezingly cold”, while in actuality the “cold” part actually means “colder than the Sun but still incredibly hot" 😂
Luna Snow getting that push, like Wave and Aero kinda did, and people going "wait, who are you?" is kinda funny, because you gotta be real into Mobile Marvel games to go "Hay, I know you!'. Weird how it's not the first time original characters from games were made, they just never made an impact. (Got Caitlin Snow and her moniker Frost mixed up there lol)
About Caitlin she is the third Killer Frost one of the two others did had Frost as her surname I think It is the original one who had a thing for Firestorm
I wanna see Wave and Aero in Rivals so more people can get to know them. Considering the game also recently added the version of Iron Fist that was previously Sword Master it wouldn't be too surprising
I want to make a fun guess! Let's see... she's a new hero that shows a lot of promise but Marvel (for SOME REASON) slowly stop using her and just ended up putting her into the void of background superheroes.. Honestly it always breaks my heart when that happens.. ;A;
This happens to literally almost every single member of the Agents of Atlas, which is really sad😭 Like, Luna and Wave are my favorite among them, but they're the ones who doesn't get enough appearances. Although, things might change for the both of them this year. We all know Luna Snow is now coming to Marvel Rivals. Wave on the other hand is confirmed for the upcoming animated MCU show, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Really-really looking forward to those!
5:26 fun fact "cold fusion" doesn't mean "cold as in freezing", it means "cold relative to nuclear temp". So really Luna should have "room temp" powers
To be fair in the comic Joro Spider orders Seol Hee and her friends thrown into a "cryo-reactor" specifically, not a "cold fusion reactor." Not much but it's something.
1:12 this set up reminds of how Dazzler got started. I think they were going to make a movie and records. but things went wrong and the movie didn't end up happening. but we still got Dazzler out of it as a character who has become a mainstay. also i think i saw in some text that she was originally going to be designed off of Grace Jones, but one of the higher ups changed that. that's what i loosely remember from one of the essays on obscure topics on RUclips and this article i came across years ago.
@@ComicDrake I think yours might've been one of them👍🤔from a more recent time. And I think there might've been something a little bit older from moviebob that I came across.
I really liked Luna Snow. Every single appearance shes made in comics, i have them. But from what i heard, its hard to incorporate her due to her creators situation. You know, since she was created from a mobil game as opposed to the comics, you have a 2 separate parents situation
"Pan Asian unity" seems like a really American thing. I've lived a quarter of my life in Asia, and people in different countries of Asia do not see themselves as having some kind of unity with each other because they're arbitrarily in the same continent. They should make a "North American Team" with people from Mexico, Canada, and the US so they can see how reductivist that is.
Yeah that actually explains it really well. Canadians, Mexicans, and Americans can be very different. But a pan North American team would actually be super interesting. Imagine a French Canadian from Montreal, a Canadian from Vancouver, a Texan, a New Yorker, a Californian, some one from Minnesota, someone from Mexico City and maybe a native Mexican would be interesting. I’d love to read a book about that team or something like it.
Honestly, that’s a pretty cool idea for a superhero team and if we had superheroes in real life, I’m pretty sure it would happen. along with signing NAFTA America, Canada and Mexico make a joint superhero team to help foster positive relations between the countries. Could probably tell some interesting stories with it too.
The last time Asian Unity was tested, it was a cover up for the Imperial Japanese to carry out their colonial goals. Everyone in Asia hates each other.
Because it's not reductive here in America where these comics are written. America, specifically the US, is extremely diverse and so it can be either very rare or very comic to see people who look like you even if they come from slightly different backgrounds. So having a Pan Ethnic Unity team is a lot more necessary than it would be like in homogeneous countries and continents like those in Asia.
I don't understand how that would work anyway. K-Pop is all about the music and the choreographed movement. Two things that are completely lost with still images in comics.
I could see a Luna Snow story work in a Webtoon format, where panel layout directly ties to pacing, allowing the writers to script very kinetic choreographed battles. Heck, sound Webtoons aren't even that uncommon, and it would be fairly easy to have the audio track sync to the auto scroll, fully taking advantage of the culturally-relevant digital format.
@@dragonbretheren There is actually a K-pop themed webtoon that does some of that, without the music. It’s called Debut or Die and is set during an idol themed game show competition. So a Luna Snow webcomic would most definitely be possible.
It can happen, they're lots of books and novels about music even though you obviously can't hear music from words, they're still entertaining to read through. I'm sure there's also plenty of manga out there about music
Maybe they make an album with the kpop artist and release a cd/ vinyl with comics that you can read along with the music for a more physical format. The webtoon idea can work well but I’ve yet to see a successful marvel webtoon compared to dc who has a really well liked comic there. Most comic readers would probably prefer physical media over digital especially for speculators.
i love the way her lore in rivals describes the way her healing ice works! its like the ice is so cold it cauterizes as it forms over the wound and then as it melts away, it leaves freshly healed where the ice touched.
This will sound weird, but I found out about Luna after Stan Lee past away. And because I was really sad at the time, I kinda grew attached to her on an emotional level.
Drake, as a Marvel Future Fight player you could've got Luna Snow with the anniversary event MFF is currently going through you could've obtained Luna Snow through the premium Tier 2 selector instead of spending £10 for her in the biometric sub
SHES SO DAMG STRONG EVEN AT HER BASIC COSTUME! I use a selector to get her to 22 and then I worked my way up to get her to tier three took forever but so worth it
As an honest Luna Snow fan, I share your frustration. Even when I thought Joro Spider is so cool and is not heard again after since, she could be built off as a honest rival and many more! There are so many things that you can do with Luna Snow. Even having her song be on blast once in a while? She has her own song for Bor's sake!
1:17 oh my goodness, the truth! I'm a League of Legends fan who has never played the game. I watch their cinematic videos repeatedly, have their songs on RUclips Music, read their lore pages (comics and stories), and absolutely love the world they've built around the game that I've never downloaded/opened
the general consensus around the game is that it’s good, even great, but the player base ruins it, and i can confirm myself, but to be fair a lot of popular games are like that
The black ice/white ice thing gives me massive Hero Shooter Support Character vibes... which I'm just realizing probably isn't far off from what it was designed to be.
I swear I had a dream about this character before, which is weird, because up until now, I had never even heard about her. What's even weirder is the fact that the dream ended with Drake making a video about her. Drake, stop trying to give me prophetic comic-related dreams
My two bit brain on the cold fusion reactor thing: It’s not literally when the arena’s active, but when a significant portion of the staff and people all need to be at various stations spread across the arena, where it’s smarter to activate the whole staff instead of a small crew. Which means they might as well get the high security teams and crews since this whole thing will take a while.
8:00 (Agents of Atlas & Jimmy Wu) yes, please do a video on this group...I've never heard of them. I think they're in a section of Marvel I don't really go to. Also, woah, I didn't know Randall Park's character (Jimmy Wu) was an actual character in Marvel.
Since her being in Marvel Rivals there is a ton of interest in her and now would be the perfect time for them to capitalize on her with a comic and other merch, songs etc. but honestly it seems that NetEase understands marvel better than marvel do which is a huge shame.
It’s such a weird feeling that i already know exactly who Luna is since i was playing Future Fight *and* read her comics *before* Drake explains who this relatively unkown hero is.
It's crazy that Marvel isn't doing more with Luna snow without proud they are of future fight especially when they made her come on I'm glad she's in Marvel rivals there's so much more they can do, even Aero felt like she was getting a bit more of a push when they made her book and I loved it
I’ve always adored Luna Snow, I dunno why but when I picked up future fight she instantly stood out to me and I tried to find what comic she debuted in just to find out she was an oc. I’m glad she is in Marvel Rivals so she might get more attention from fans and marvel
Joro Spider was definitely meant to be named after the Jorogumo, a spider yokai from Japanese myth, but, according to a Google search, the term Joro on its own is a term for a high class prostitute, so Joro Spider's name would translate as "Spider Whore" ... This is why you ALWAYS proofread and culturally consult BEFORE you come up with a character name.
She’s from Marvel Future Fight :)) Technically she control light and dark ice crystals so she is different from iceman She uses dark ice crystals to hurt and light ice crystals to heal
This isn't the first time marvel comics have toyed with a cross promotional pop music super hero character. There was Dazzler in 1980 and Night Cat in 1991. I wouldn't mind seeing a comic where the 3 decided to form a supergroup and go on a huge world tour and get into all kinds of whacky shenanigans. It'll be like josey and the pussycats but with superheroes!
Personally, I think they should hire a Korean Manhwa team to make the comic. Marvel has been losing out lately to manga and manhwa, Luna would be an excellent chance to get in on that. Release it as Manhwa books instead of as comic books and have some guest appearances once things are going well.
I think it be pretty cool if you did a series taking about marvel rivals characters and explaining the possible references in their kits. Kinda like know your moves by relaxalax.
Love that thanks to Marvel Rivals, she's now associated with the song Crazy by LE SSERAFIM due to edits. Hopefully she gets better comics in the furure
Hear me out The idea of combinding jem and the holograms and kpop sound amamzing. I want to see girl group are secretly superheros and luna is part of it. It could be about pressure on being women or commentary on feminity Why did luna have destruction and healing ice powers? She's struggling internalized sexism. What about ither members? Maybe there's an idol have flowers powers. Instead being a healer, she's uses nature aggressively to attack people They have a secret layout to be way from the public's eye and want peace of mind Im tell you. This have potential to be a girly yet fun story
I used to play Future Fight a while back. and I grew attached to Luna Snow as a result. She was a lot of fun to play, and I wish they'd made more of an effort to make her interesting. they definitely should have used her "black" powers more, which I took to be damaging spikes of Darkforce energy. And yeah, the Agents of Atlas relaunch was a mess, I think Marvel needs to stick to teams of American characters (including Asian Americans, but set within America), because it's always weird when American writers try to work with "International" teams, they get too tokenized. I also think it was terribly to try and lump all their Asian heroes together, rather than just including them in the Avengers and other team books. Maybe they could have done a "West Coast Avengers" book set in San Fran, with 2-3 Asian American characters as well as plenty of other characters.
I want them to bring back the ifea of luna snow wave and aero being a team again as the elementals (i think that was the name) cause that was a very important thing for them and also the fact she mentioned to ami aka the silver fox i think that was her name in the apearance she made she said that lee lin was also her friend but we get no scences with luna and lee lin and only thing we get is luna and lee lins team up attack in rivals
Reminder Marvel tried to do a very similer thing years ago when they first introduced Dazzler but the plans fell through. Marvel planed concert tours and everything and even at a TV Special planed that would have fetured both The Village People and KISS.
Glad I came here to rewatch this. I was playing Marvel Rivals, and only recognized Luna snow because I've watched this video before. Upon rewatching this again, I understand why she's a healer now😅 actually makes me happy that the developers paid attention to her powers, because as Drake said, the healing is mentioned offhand.
The thing is, sword master and aero was created by the coroporation of Netease & Marvel so they're born comic character. Luna, on the other hand, is a og game character whose settings are not complete for running a solo comic. And thanks to the pandemic, things must've gone even more awkward...
One of my most favorite designs in future fight, For obvious reasons, Was incredibly disappointed by how much she was unknown and incredibly evident now that she was revealed in rivals, Not only that, I am also disappointed by how uncreative her powers is for someone named Luna snow, Edit: You need to pay for her now? She was FREE!!
I love the Agents of Atlas and Comic Drake! 😭💓 So when I saw this video, it's an immediate click for me! This team deserves all the spotlight! Thank you for covering some bits and pieces of them! ❤
I remember when Luna was announced and was surprised of her having heterochromia, something I also have, its sad how underutilized she is considering her design is great and backstory sounds interesting, specially with all the push Marvel goes for female superheroes, but the one interesting female superhero is the one they choose to put on a team were she doesnt get almost any focus
I’ve been playing Marvel Future Fight since the beginning. She was actually free for like a week event when she first came out. Still one of my favorite characters to play, she was always OP
The most surprising thing about this is that Marvel Future Fight is still going. I played it for a few years before they leaned HARD into a "pay to win" model. With their predatory pricing, and the general let-down of the MCU's Phase Four, I'd have figured it had died during the pandemic.
Sorry to tell you, but the game isn't a pay to win game. Yes, paying generally helps, but if you know what to do, you can get pretty far in the game now f2p
@@luqmanhakimi7139 That's good, I guess? I remember playing for a year or two, and quitting when they shifted their best characters to behind paywalls. Characters and uniforms that were defining the PvP meta were all only available for cash. It was no longer possible to get a full roster of all the characters for free. Not wanting to pay $20-30 a month on their silly game, I quit.
This seems like another Miles Morales case. Bad debut in the comics but eventually through other projects he became a beloved character. I think something similar could happen to Luna
SOMEONE ELSE READ THAT FANTASTIC JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS RUN? dude, i’ve never met a single other person who has read that! i was obsessed with them as a kid, i’m so happy!
I saw him in Marvel Snap, the character is like twice as strong as Blade, lol that kinda "offended" my fanboy side, but whatever, had no idea this character is supposed to cater for the chinese audiences
Funny how I got recommended this video as I'm literally a Luna main in Rivals and trying to keep people alive. ...also a little weird; like how does the internet know to show me this video specifically about Luna Snow? Anywho, great watch and helps me understand the character more since the lore in Rivals doesn't even let me know as to whether she was a mutant or a human that went through some freak accident.
As a major Luna fan since her debut, I think the reason she didn't kick off in the AOA series. Was making her part of a "love triangle," if you tie a new character to an existing( more popular) one. She won't grow individually, when I first saw that cover, I knew the writer wasn't interested in developing her.
Love these videos focusing on lesser-known characters. Any chance we can get a Mattie Franklin "Spider-Woman" video? She was introduced as a big deal before fizzling out in an insulting death that didn't matter. I would love to see your take on her.
Listen, when Luna snow dropped she was OP. I think she still is, and she was my favorite new inclusion. I wish her and White Fox/the other ancillary atlas agents that were huge in MFF got more (read: better) love.
It seems as though they're trying to create more new characters because they can't just keep rebooting/retconning the same old characters forever. Sure, some of them are going to unfortunately be swing-and-a-miss ideas (like Snowflake, Safespace, and the NEW New Warriors), but kudos for trying. I actually like the idea of the characters mentioned. It feels like some good representation without just labeling them "The Asian Avengers" and calling it a day. I'd only really heard of a few of them; Silk, Amadeus, Jimmy Woo, "Iron Fist". Luna Snow herself is an interesting new take on the same old ice powers and I think there's a lot of potential there for a really interesting character.
man i was expecting a more simple origin story but what a mess hope she gets her spotlight in the future because her rivals appearence has been really cool
I had never heard of Luna or the new people they made for those team books. She looks rad, though, and the powers (if they could be bothered to use the full set) sound fun.
When the roster for Marvel Rivals was revealed, everyone looked at Luna and said: "Who the fuck are you?"
I thought she was an original character solely for the game at first
Funny she was an original character for another game
It's funny cause i'm like cool but why is the Marvel Future Fight original here?
I knew her from future fight
For me my reaction was like “Wait, is that Luna Snow?!?!” The only girl in marvel I know who has ice powers.
hi! a veteran Marvel Future Fight player here!

Luna, Dazzler, and Night Cat need to collab. That would be wild.
Here after deciding to main her in Marvel Rivals. I like that they pulled in a good chunk of these "B List" heroes alongside the big ones
Not even B List. More like D list.
Since her being in Marvel Rivals there is a ton of interest in her and now would be the perfect time for them to capitalize on her with a comic and other merch, songs etc. but honestly it seems that NetEase understands marvel better than marvel do which is a huge shame.
It’s such a weird feeling that i already know exactly who Luna is since i was playing Future Fight *and* read her comics *before* Drake explains who this relatively unkown hero is.
This was timely, thanks for making this in advance.
Give her a Webtoon at least
It's crazy that Marvel isn't doing more with Luna snow without proud they are of future fight especially when they made her come on I'm glad she's in Marvel rivals there's so much more they can do, even Aero felt like she was getting a bit more of a push when they made her book and I loved it
I’ve always adored Luna Snow, I dunno why but when I picked up future fight she instantly stood out to me and I tried to find what comic she debuted in just to find out she was an oc. I’m glad she is in Marvel Rivals so she might get more attention from fans and marvel
Joro Spider was definitely meant to be named after the Jorogumo, a spider yokai from Japanese myth, but, according to a Google search, the term Joro on its own is a term for a high class prostitute, so Joro Spider's name would translate as "Spider Whore" ... This is why you ALWAYS proofread and culturally consult BEFORE you come up with a character name.
It’s clearly just a reference to the golden orb weaver; the joro spiders. Plus she’s Korean not Japanese, don’t jump the gun
@@aerickmon3350 They have joro spiders in Japan too.
@@KyrenaH the character is straight up said to be Korean in the comic, not Japanese as this person thinks
She’s from Marvel Future Fight :))
Technically she control light and dark ice crystals so she is different from iceman
She uses dark ice crystals to hurt and light ice crystals to heal
Who's here from Marvel Rivals? Didn't know about Luna Snow until I played the game 😅
Lmao same
This isn't the first time marvel comics have toyed with a cross promotional pop music super hero character. There was Dazzler in 1980 and Night Cat in 1991. I wouldn't mind seeing a comic where the 3 decided to form a supergroup and go on a huge world tour and get into all kinds of whacky shenanigans. It'll be like josey and the pussycats but with superheroes!
Yeah, I know. 😉 ruclips.net/video/RxiUgKXYNvk/видео.htmlsi=vF0R-CuRLme9jAln
Luna is giving me some Night Cat flashbacks. Just ya know. A bit more successful because I don't think Night Cat has been mentioned since the 90s.
Personally, I think they should hire a Korean Manhwa team to make the comic. Marvel has been losing out lately to manga and manhwa, Luna would be an excellent chance to get in on that.
Release it as Manhwa books instead of as comic books and have some guest appearances once things are going well.
Just because Manga is doing better than comics doesn't mean comics are doing bad.
i was not expecting to witness a dedicated luna snow video from well ANYONE i'm so glad she's getting recognition
I think it be pretty cool if you did a series taking about marvel rivals characters and explaining the possible references in their kits. Kinda like know your moves by relaxalax.
Or like Smash History on Game Theory by Trailer Drake? 😉
Agents of Atlas was really good, however there weren't much emphasis on the characters after the event.
I was hoping they would continue pushing Agents of Atlas. Here's hoping Luna here reignites interest in that team
@@13Kr4zYAzN13 Heck yes!
Love that thanks to Marvel Rivals, she's now associated with the song Crazy by LE SSERAFIM due to edits. Hopefully she gets better comics in the furure
First Overwatch gains associations with LE SSERAFIM, now Marvel Rivals?
What's next? Fortnite?
Hear me out
The idea of combinding jem and the holograms and kpop sound amamzing. I want to see girl group are secretly superheros and luna is part of it. It could be about pressure on being women or commentary on feminity
Why did luna have destruction and healing ice powers? She's struggling internalized sexism.
What about ither members? Maybe there's an idol have flowers powers. Instead being a healer, she's uses nature aggressively to attack people
They have a secret layout to be way from the public's eye and want peace of mind
Im tell you. This have potential to be a girly yet fun story
That sounds great.
Came here because I mean Luna Snow, she is great! I do hope she gets a proper book series or webtoon series.
Hopefully Marvel actually do a full feature series with her. Just look at K/DA, this character could literally save the MCU on her own merits.
I used to play Future Fight a while back. and I grew attached to Luna Snow as a result. She was a lot of fun to play, and I wish they'd made more of an effort to make her interesting. they definitely should have used her "black" powers more, which I took to be damaging spikes of Darkforce energy.
And yeah, the Agents of Atlas relaunch was a mess, I think Marvel needs to stick to teams of American characters (including Asian Americans, but set within America), because it's always weird when American writers try to work with "International" teams, they get too tokenized. I also think it was terribly to try and lump all their Asian heroes together, rather than just including them in the Avengers and other team books. Maybe they could have done a "West Coast Avengers" book set in San Fran, with 2-3 Asian American characters as well as plenty of other characters.
I want them to bring back the ifea of luna snow wave and aero being a team again as the elementals (i think that was the name) cause that was a very important thing for them and also the fact she mentioned to ami aka the silver fox i think that was her name in the apearance she made she said that lee lin was also her friend but we get no scences with luna and lee lin and only thing we get is luna and lee lins team up attack in rivals
“Has a protector called… protector” I’m crying
Hey, if DC can have a guy named Guardian, then Marvel can have someone named Protector
@@luisalejandrolopezbuendia9686 real, but i was laughing the way drake delivered the line combined with the sound effect 😭
I really hope that because of her new appearance in Marvel Rivals I hope that she gets more time in the snowstorm!
Reminder Marvel tried to do a very similer thing years ago when they first introduced Dazzler but the plans fell through.
Marvel planed concert tours and everything and even at a TV Special planed that would have fetured both The Village People and KISS.
Glad I came here to rewatch this.
I was playing Marvel Rivals, and only recognized Luna snow because I've watched this video before. Upon rewatching this again, I understand why she's a healer now😅 actually makes me happy that the developers paid attention to her powers, because as Drake said, the healing is mentioned offhand.
The thing is, sword master and aero was created by the coroporation of Netease & Marvel so they're born comic character. Luna, on the other hand, is a og game character whose settings are not complete for running a solo comic. And thanks to the pandemic, things must've gone even more awkward...
I'll never forget how excited I was when I saw she's finally make it into the comics. Oh those were the days
Luna Snow ice man, and Oya teaming up would go crazzzy😵💫
She didn't become the next Dazzler, but she did better than Nightcat
Im exited to see her in Marvel Rivals! Glad they are adding some pretty deep cuts!
One of my most favorite designs in future fight, For obvious reasons, Was incredibly disappointed by how much she was unknown and incredibly evident now that she was revealed in rivals, Not only that, I am also disappointed by how uncreative her powers is for someone named Luna snow,
Edit: You need to pay for her now? She was FREE!!
Luna snow’s popularity has grown quite a bit thanks to marvel rivals, hope she gets her own story one day
I love the Agents of Atlas and Comic Drake! 😭💓 So when I saw this video, it's an immediate click for me!
This team deserves all the spotlight! Thank you for covering some bits and pieces of them! ❤
I remember when Luna was announced and was surprised of her having heterochromia, something I also have, its sad how underutilized she is considering her design is great and backstory sounds interesting, specially with all the push Marvel goes for female superheroes, but the one interesting female superhero is the one they choose to put on a team were she doesnt get almost any focus
Marvel management doing their specialty: *Fumbling the bag*
Man, she looks really cool! I'd totally be interested if she got a solo series.
I need more from her comics she seems like a very interesting character.
I’ve been playing Marvel Future Fight since the beginning. She was actually free for like a week event when she first came out. Still one of my favorite characters to play, she was always OP
Can we agree that Korea is basically the no lifer country. Like fr the amount of champion game titles they hold is insane.
Luna Snow just teleported into my incognito tab thats crazy
Wtf
The most surprising thing about this is that Marvel Future Fight is still going. I played it for a few years before they leaned HARD into a "pay to win" model. With their predatory pricing, and the general let-down of the MCU's Phase Four, I'd have figured it had died during the pandemic.
Yeah lol 9 years is crazy
Sorry to tell you, but the game isn't a pay to win game. Yes, paying generally helps, but if you know what to do, you can get pretty far in the game now f2p
@@luqmanhakimi7139 That's good, I guess? I remember playing for a year or two, and quitting when they shifted their best characters to behind paywalls. Characters and uniforms that were defining the PvP meta were all only available for cash. It was no longer possible to get a full roster of all the characters for free.
Not wanting to pay $20-30 a month on their silly game, I quit.
"Can you imagine? Dragons!"
Will you do a video on Marvel's other failed attempt at getting into the music scene: Nightcat?
This seems like another Miles Morales case. Bad debut in the comics but eventually through other projects he became a beloved character. I think something similar could happen to Luna
SOMEONE ELSE READ THAT FANTASTIC JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS RUN? dude, i’ve never met a single other person who has read that! i was obsessed with them as a kid, i’m so happy!
I thought Luna Snow was really cool when I saw her in Marvel Rivals. I really hope they expand on her.
I just like that marvel decided to make a character designed to be optimized for most esports.
Sword Master mention, FUCK YEAH
I saw him in Marvel Snap, the character is like twice as strong as Blade, lol that kinda "offended" my fanboy side, but whatever, had no idea this character is supposed to cater for the chinese audiences
5:19 is based.
I just wish instead of creating tons of new characters because others failed they work on the characters that failed to make them better.
As a kpop fan I feel bad for not knowing the singer that voiced Luna, but also like where did they get her from.
Watch luna be an MC for a teen based marvel disney + show.
I initially misheard the sponsor's name as "Story Averse," which sounds like the exact opposite of what Storiaverse is actually pitched as here, haha
I hope her appearance in Rivals gives her more to do. Luna seems really cool to me and i want to see more of this character.
Funny how I got recommended this video as I'm literally a Luna main in Rivals and trying to keep people alive.
...also a little weird; like how does the internet know to show me this video specifically about Luna Snow?
Anywho, great watch and helps me understand the character more since the lore in Rivals doesn't even let me know as to whether she was a mutant or a human that went through some freak accident.
14:42 Wayne Family Adventure? Gonna check it out whenever
As a major Luna fan since her debut, I think the reason she didn't kick off in the AOA series. Was making her part of a "love triangle," if you tie a new character to an existing( more popular) one. She won't grow individually, when I first saw that cover, I knew the writer wasn't interested in developing her.
Love these videos focusing on lesser-known characters.
Any chance we can get a Mattie Franklin "Spider-Woman" video? She was introduced as a big deal before fizzling out in an insulting death that didn't matter. I would love to see your take on her.
I'm hoping Marvel Rivals gives her a much needed boost in popularity. Hell, the reason I watched this video is because I started maining her.
Listen, when Luna snow dropped she was OP. I think she still is, and she was my favorite new inclusion. I wish her and White Fox/the other ancillary atlas agents that were huge in MFF got more (read: better) love.
Oh they will
I heard she is still very meta and very top-tier as she keeps getting buffs lol
It seems as though they're trying to create more new characters because they can't just keep rebooting/retconning the same old characters forever. Sure, some of them are going to unfortunately be swing-and-a-miss ideas (like Snowflake, Safespace, and the NEW New Warriors), but kudos for trying.
I actually like the idea of the characters mentioned. It feels like some good representation without just labeling them "The Asian Avengers" and calling it a day. I'd only really heard of a few of them; Silk, Amadeus, Jimmy Woo, "Iron Fist". Luna Snow herself is an interesting new take on the same old ice powers and I think there's a lot of potential there for a really interesting character.
man i was expecting a more simple origin story but what a mess
hope she gets her spotlight in the future because her rivals appearence has been really cool
I swear I remember there being a different k-pop related idol character in marvel with ice powers at some point
10:30 WAKE ME UP AND MAKE ME A BELIEVER
Ha! Didn't see that one!
I actually like concept of an idol being a superhero. Hope someone writes a good story for her
Here to learn about my Healer Main in "Marvel Rivals " xD
I had never heard of Luna or the new people they made for those team books.
She looks rad, though, and the powers (if they could be bothered to use the full set) sound fun.
hopefully with rivals she gets a solo series I already see Lin Lie getting a huge surge of popularity from the game
Here because of Marvel Rivals squad!
I honestly thought Luna Snow was an original character that was made for the new Marvel Rivals game! Thank you for educating us 😁
