So this new emote just dropped for Ultron Wasteland, and truthfully, the people went wild with the reaction. We are talking chaotic replies in the comment section. RivalsLeaks posted the clip in utmost eagerness: from that point onward, everybody had to say something- mostly a mixture of confused and laughing.
Check this out: Ultron, that big baddie robot from the Avengers, is clutching his chest like he’s having a full-blown malfunction or heart rupture. But since he’s a robot…battery failure? So much dramatics! Players cannot decide whether it is by far the greatest thing to ever have cast their eyes upon or the most glorious glitch they have ever seen.
One of the first replies was from Catabonk, who said he doesn’t know what’s going on in this emote. It looks like he’s having a heart attack, and dude, that’s a mood. Then Kane Carter came in with a whole theory: Ultron’s checking his power level, and it hits almost zero percent, so he just freaking freezes. Indefinitely. So this basically implies he dies. Which is dark but also kind of hilarious for a free skin emote.
Now consider some themes about Ultron not being really good right now in the game. CobyBuckets went out and said, “It’s hard sadly it’s for a character that sucks ass” which is almost an insult. And then lil Zay came with “Ultron good my boy 😡” so maybe there is a little contention there. But for the most part, some people agree that trying to play tank on Ultron is just a hard road even when you’ve got triple support. So, cool emote for a struggling character is… interesting.
Some people love this kind of aesthetic. JacksonLoad siad thing look like something straight out of PGR (that’s Punishing: Gray Raven for those in the know) and that he’s into it. And slotslv called it, “so good for a free skin,” which is true; free stuff is always fun, especially when it looks that detailed.
Now for the weird comments: StillNotSus said, “damn, I didn’t know a robot could be so thick🤤,” which…okay then. Now, Ya_Boi_Shell just dropped: “Finally, ultron fent lean,” which I don’t even know what that means, but it sounds concerning. And then SolarisuVurukan agreed with “They gave him fent,” so there’s a drug joke in there somewhere that I don’t have the clout to get.
Also, khaxar called it “so camp” which is high praise. And Arohn7575 is hoping for a robot dance emote next, which, like, same. That would be amazing.
Best part is how divided the community is. Some say it’s free, some say it’s part of the skin. Others are just confused as to why Ultron is dying. Lainetron offered, “someone tell him to stop being so dramatic,” which is probably what we’re all thinking. And Defectivegamer4 chimed in with “To be fair he’s most likely dying(his battery),” which just feeds the lore.
These are just the things that speak volumes about how much attention players give to the little details. An emote for a skin for a character that maybe isn’t top-tier, but everyone is talking about it. That’s power from either good cosmetic design or really funny animations.
And like, I love that about checking out leaks and player reactions. It’s not always new meta or whatever: it’s just the community coming together in a collective moment of “what is this” and meme-ing the heck out of it. Marvel Rivals has gotten a lot of hype for its visuals and character designs, and this emote is on the shortlist of that hype. Even if Ultron isn’t a top-tier pick right now, at least he sure looks cool failing dramatically.
Wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah: the emote! So take note if you play Marvel Rivals and catch this Wasteland Ultron skin emote. Free, hilarious, and maybe the best in-game lobby spam to confuse your teammates until Ultron gets an actual buff and becomes relevant. Could go either way, but for now, we got a simulated robot heart attack.
That’s really what makes these live service games so entertaining. Even the small updates get everyone talking, theorizing, and joking around. So this builds a community even when the balance isn’t perfect. So thanks to NetEase for giving us this laugh. Even if it’s of a robot clutching his chest like he just saw the latest patch notes.
