Overwatch 2? More like Over-WATCH OUT, Marvel Rivals is here!

I came for Spider-Man, stayed for Doctor Strange's *absolutely busted* AoE ult, and lost my soul to Hulk's "Clap Them Cheeks" combo. Marvel Rivals isn’t just a game—it’s a lifestyle, a religion, and my new favorite way to assert dominance over 12-year-olds online.

Remember when Overwatch 2 promised to "redefine team play" and delivered slightly shinier skins and longer queue times? Marvel Rivals redefines *fun*. It’s like they looked at Overwatch and said, “What if we actually delivered what fans want? Oh, and added Iron Man.” Boom. Instant masterpiece.

Pros:
-Heroes you actually care about. No more arguing over who gets to play *Generic Soldier Dude* you can literally BE Thor.
-Abilities that feel satisfying. Rocket Raccoon has a minigun. It’s a raccoon. With a minigun. Do I need to say more?
-Maps are gorgeous. Wakanda’s level is so stunning, I forgot to push the payload. My team wasn't happy, but I was.
-Free-to-play but not pay-to-win. Unless you count the *Groot Dance Emote,* which I totally bought, but that’s between me and my wallet.

Cons:
- I haven’t slept in three days.
- Captain America keeps stealing my kills.
- The matchmaking system paired me against a team of Hulks. Ever been hit by five simultaneous gamma punches? Yeah, I’m in therapy now.

Final Verdict: If Overwatch 2 is like reheated pizza, Marvel Rivals is a Michelin-star buffet. Grab your shield, hammer, or whatever Rocket Raccoon is packing, and join the fun. Your move, Blizzard.

P.S. Hulk mains, I respect you—but I fear you.
