Marvel has unveiled the new-but-super-hot-old-school gameplay trailer for Marvel Cosmic Invasion, and there is chaos in the gaming community. In the most righteous form of uniting, Beta Ray Bill and Silver Surfer versus Annihilus and his hordes, and honestly? Warning: Real hype! The trailers set up some bizarre cosmic fighting with the Silver Surfer grinding his way through space while Beta Ray Bill stands on solid ground hammering with pride.
The reaction online has been insane. Players perceived it as “cosmic vibes on another level” (shoutout to Corners). Other fans are happy that Beta Ray Bill is finally receiving appreciation now that he’s outside the comics: “Literally cooler Thor”- TheGoon, and honestly? So true.
But then, let’s just talk about the Silver Surfer. His power level is outrageous, with some users, including Perfectmandc8x, labeling him as “MVP of the Trailer” even from the get-go! They had said, “Straight up carrying half the universe,” and no, I don’t detect a single lie there. The way he just flied around and wiped the floor with everyone is *chef’s kiss*.
Annihilus? This dude appeared in the trailer like an Online GTA griefer, to quote OnlyOnePacMan. “Spawned in like a GTA Online grief lobby boss,” was the tweet, and I now fear I can never think of it any differently. Meanwhile, GTAModsAU said it was like pulling up in GTA V with a custom rank and a fat stack of cash. Random? Yep. Funny? Also a yes.
Though some are not completely sold. Thirdshiftmerc finds it a fair question, why non-cosmic heroes aren’t getting the same love? But let’s be real: it’s hard to complain with Silver Surfer and Beta Ray Bill teaming up. Then, Octopussandwich, apparently all for Marvel Rivals this weekend, had to admit that looked cool.
The very idea of the trailer is just a great set-up-Epic space battles! Insane powers! Classic Marvel flair! Somewhere around here, players like Qushu92 are yelling, “Take! My! Money!” Tito Gamer, also known as Tito Gamer from Quezon City, responded with an exuberant, “HELL Yeah, Beta Ray Bill!!” in all caps. That’s the mood.
So what’s next? More cosmic chaos, presumably. And indeed, this wooing trailer is mere nutrition. Judging from the responses, it looks like Marvel is going to go far. This invasion will be one for the books, be it for the slick moves of the Interstellar Surfer or the hammering blows of Beta Ray Bill.
And if that did nothing to convince you, just watch the trailer. Trust me, it’s worth it. Now, I am off to go watch it for the tenth time.
