3:24 Odin is actually alive. In the Heroes tab, there's a section for each hero labeled as "Lore" that has one short story for each. Adam Warlock's mentions Odin and reveals he was put in the Odinsleep by Loki!
I think it's also nice to add on that the game is multiversal so technically every hero and villain are alive, even if they're dead in another universe. Just nice to add on cause it opens up the chance that any character can be playable even if they're dead in another characters lore.
There's also a room with the Destroyer armor and a coffin with runes on top that says "Odin Borson" I assume that there's where Odín is (in the Odinsleep) it would be cool that if Odin makes it to the main roster, that coffin is open from that moment (sorry if my English is bad)
6:41 Pretty sure that’s the symbol of Corsair, leader of the Starjammers (space pirates) and the father of Cyclops. It appears to be upside down, which could be a mistake. The green planet might be the one from the uniform of the Kree soldiers. I can’t see that second yellow one well enough.
Finally! lol I've been deep diving all the lore and making crazy person notes connecting it all on my own Happy to see these kinda lore videos start to come out and to finally be able to compare notes! Im still not 100% if we'll actually get the big seasonal villains as playable yet? Depends what happens with Doom. It'd be wild if we didn't get to play as doom, but none of the leaks/datamines mention him? And there's arguably more known conflict going on with Dracula and Knull. Very very curious
They hinted at adding “true villains” (not just anti heroes) to the roster in an interview, but I’m not sure if that will include the big bass like Doom or Knull.
in regards to data mining, as a fellow game developer I would say that in each game we know those exist and doom is too big not to be on the list of things to llook for on mining so, I would probably guess they want him to be released after the season ends and the same with other villians to not have him be datamined yet, they can also fragment its data to only assemble his assets at a later date. The same with each season, and I also believe doom will be last but that is just my take (the why is simple marvel is connected inderectly in all of its media, thunderbolts coming out, doomday on the horizon, makes sense that rivals would take a route with doom but also makes sense to not opvershadow the MCU even if they are not related, take a look at the history of marvel media they always kind of bring related heros/characters, this is the same reason F4 has been allowed to be data mined, those are things that are coming from other media, this doesnt say they are the only ones but hints are big, so for me Doom will be "delayed" in the story only to comback later)
Nice video. I agree about thinking Knull will be the big bad coming in season 1 or two. I am thinking now if season 1 is gonna be about heroes (Fantastic 4 members maybe) perhaps season 2 will be villains.
6:49 that green planet looks like the symbol of the Kree Imperium. 7:20 It makes more sense as a hint for Hulkling; he's the founder of the Alliance, and if he's coming to the game, then we can expect Wiccan.
4:40 Shuri’s experiment is a direct copy of Reed Richard’s Time/Space Bridge from John Hickman’s run on F4. Maybe she’s collaborating with Reed on dimension hopping to recruit heroes/battle Doom?
Nice!! You could maybe talk about heroes mentioned in lore. They seem to be a good indicator for who will be playable in the future. Pretty much everyone who was released after beta were all lore dropped prior becoming playable.
Small point about Shuri's blueprint. That looks a LOT like the portal Reed Richards was going through when he met the Council of Reeds. I forget what he called it, but it let him look in on multiple universes.
I am not sure if they would bring any actual evil villains as playable characters. I would argue that all of the current roster aren't all fully bad guys, IE Magneto was in charge of the X-men for a time, Venom has been known to work with heroes sometimes, Loki has been an anti-hero when his goals align. I think only Hela I would consider being a villain, but I don't see her as evil per say, unlike Knull. IDK, tough call TBH.
indeed correct, but Carol was Ms Marvel and then Captain marvel before the DEI thing, even prior to the MCU she was very well portrayed I might say in EMH, just trying to be fair as I believe the MCU mudded the waters with that one, but the change is prior to all of that.

Thanks for the info! That is interesting, that there is another Kree spray on Klyntar.
Quicksilver is also in Tokyo 2099
If we get Knull I'd dedicate some good time learning him and playing him
Same
I wonder what he’d be?
@@dnddude9652
U think he'll be a vanguard ?
He’d have to have an ultimate where he summons a dragon.
@chriskotte8468
Ooui like summon a grendal symbiote that'll be sick

0:38 there is half of baymax's face. I would love baymax in the game. Isnt he a part of marvel?
He is, but in the comics he looked very different from the Disney movie. More like an actual mech .
Knull would be a really cool sword tank
Honestly I’d much prefer surtur but knoll is more likely
This gives me hope that Apocalypse might make his way into Marvel Rivals based on some of the interactions involving Magik.
Nice video. I agree about thinking Knull will be the big bad coming in season 1 or two. I am thinking now if season 1 is gonna be about heroes (Fantastic 4 members maybe) perhaps season 2 will be villains.
Season 1 is already confirmed to have Ultron as a new character

I think they may add a PVE event similar to what OW did and use the big boys for that (Knull, Hive, etc)

I’m still hoping for Odin.
Solid, subbed.
Thanks for the sub!

Good video. This actually gets me excited for what is next.
Deadpool, miguel oharra, black cat, spider gwen, gwenpool and carnage are my top wishlisted
Wasn't there a Silver Samurai in Tokyo 2099? I saw it on reddit but haven't seen it in game
Me neither!
Wait why wouldn't it be hulking? What reasons?? :(
spider punk 2099 is a skin of spiderman
5:19 i know i might look ignorant but isnt Black Canary a DC character ?
it is, but canary was the codename of buckys pod, in this lore Bucky escaped this hydra base, that is why his arm is all tentacle like for his ult.
I do think Mikes should be his own character, it would be a huge miss opportunity to just make him a skin
I will be a DOOM main.
Big time same
ella is loki daughter not his sister.
In Marvel Hela is Loki’s sister along with Thor. However, in Norse Mythology Hela (Hel) is one of Loki’s children.
My biggest hope is for Knull to come to the game as a playable character.
I only want green goblin
Hyena confirmed
Is Hela Loki’s sister in this like the movies? In the comics (and norse mythology) she’s his daughter.
True! Forgot about that. Not sure what the deal is in the game.
They are not siblings. I don't think they are related at all but can't say that for certain.
fun vid
Txs!
nice

IDK, tough call TBH.
Loki is explicitly a villain in this game.
Green Saturn is logo of original Captain Marvel, before DEI agenda forced to replace him by giving his title to Ms Marvel (Carol)
Thanks for the info! Ok, so it is all pointing at Mar-Vell
indeed correct, but Carol was Ms Marvel and then Captain marvel before the DEI thing, even prior to the MCU she was very well portrayed I might say in EMH, just trying to be fair as I believe the MCU mudded the waters with that one, but the change is prior to all of that.
