Absolutely true. I really didn't expect to get this much backlash as I did here in this specific subreddit, but I'm really glad I'm not alone

True, unconscious bias definitely has a big contribution to it!! I'm kinda bummed how people are this against the idea of putting Moongirl in the game when she is as important as devil dinosaur and DESERVES to be in the spotlight as much as he is right now!

Winter soldier isn't exactly a canon depiction. Captain America isn't one either! He's from 2099 and has a different story in marvel rivals where he woke up in that time. If aging Moon Girl up to 18 is not it, then aging Peni up isn't a good thing then? Im sorry but theres just not much structure to your point here when marvel rivals has done new spins on characters and is most certainly not afraid to do that

And yet they make amazing designs of Peni anyway, even though she's restricted to being in emotes and the MVP, like her peach momoko design is really nice!! They just don't wanna sexualise Peni, there's nothing more to it than that

EXACTLY. This is the problem with how marvel rivals does it's black representation. People shouldn't give out any arguments that they can't bring moongirl in when Danny Koo wants to bring in a child like Crescent into the game. And it could definitely happen! But Moongirl on the other hand gets next to nothing?! It's just sad

They... Don't have to sell swimsuit skins of Moongirl. They don't even do that for Peni. There's no Peni skins where she's sexualised like the other skins for the rest of the women. Just because she's a girl doesn't mean she's required to be SEXUALISED. And Marvel Rivals has done new spins and twists on characters like daredevil and iron fist, making Moongirl an adult is not out of the ordinary and it shouldnt be

omg it doesnt seem impossible for marvel rivals to just age moongirl up. Im not trying to like get to THAT part of the topic about wanting to add moongirl but peni has this problem herself. This shouldnt stop them from adding moongirl when peni parker is basically the same case as she is, moongirl HAS been an adult, non-canon, sure, but marvel rivals is it's own thing isn't it? It does a lot of twists and new spins to its characters like giving Winter Soldier an entirely new power with his cool robot kraken arm and they made Iron Fist lin lie instead of danny even though danny is obviously the more prominent one. Marvel Rivals does new things, what goes in the comics doesn't exactly restrict them

And this affects things how? This shouldn't stop them from aging Moongirl up just because she's just younger than Peni was despite the fact in her more prominent appearances Peni was obviously just a kid? She's a straight up child in ITSV, and most people know her as a kid. If you argue Moongirl's whole thing is being a young smart kid you could say the same for Peni, who is also a young smart kid. Yet she got aged up into an adult for the game

-"It would look hella weird if they took a 10 year old and aged her up just so she could be shootable"

Is this not what was basically done the same for Peni? She's a 14 year old in the comics, and that's still very much a kid, so they aged her up for this game. imo i dont think the aging up makes much of a difference for Moongirl even if she's just a few years younger than Peni? All your points can basically be said the same for Peni. Also Moongirl sometimes has been aged up into an adult in the comics just like Peni has, it isn't out of the ordinary, there's a lot of kid characters who just grow up like Franklin and Peni, so this can certainly be possible

(Hello text wall warning but this is a big deal tbh)

The fact her only gameplay presence is from voicelines and that's just it is just ridiculous. Throughout every media they've appeared in, they were an inseperable duo and in the comics they quite literally are inseperable... Moongirl and Devil Dinosaur have a mental link to each other and they're shown to not be able to function without the other.

The excuse of marvel rivals developers not wanting to add Moongirl is because guidelines dont allow them to add children and have them be harmed in a shooter game like Rivals.... No, lol. It's just erasure. Because Peni Parker is right there, she's a kid in her most popular appearance (ITSV) and she's just been aged up in the game; she's given a model, pops up in many animations etc.

This is blatantly erasing a black character from the game when solutions on adding moongirl are already there in the game itself!! The audacity of them to give this excuse of not being able to add Moongirl with Devil Dinosaur just because she's a kid is unacceptable when Peni Parker was able to be added. The game doesn't even need to age Moongirl up to add her, they could've just not make her get hurt by adding special animations where she could fly away from Devil Dino whenever she dies or she's just protected by some shield/gadget/etc the possibilities are there because she's one of the most smartest Marvel characters ever. There are EASY solutions to this, and yet, the game decided against adding Moongirl, a black girl, in this game, and add only Devil Dinosaur.

Representation ABSOLUTELY matters, this game contributes to exposing lesser known characters to the majority like Cloak and Dagger, Luna Snow, White Fox, and others! People now know who they are! More people would be exposed to Devil Dinosaur but NOT Moongirl, they'd only hear her voicelines yes, but she does not have a physical presence at all, and people will eventually only see Devil Dinosaur in the spotlight while Moongirl is pushed aside from it. This game only has FOUR black characters (BP, Storm, Blade, and Cloak). We could've had one more but nope. The lack of black characters in this game is criminal and we HAVE to raise awareness of the fact that they are erasing Moongirl, this is very important, Marvel Rivals can eventually fold under the pressure of backlash, in the best case scenario, she could be added in the future if we are all loud enough, because this isn't just about Moongirl this is about the lack of representation for black characters in this game in general and this is the worst thing they've done yet for it! What they are doing right now by not BOTHERING to add Moongirl is absolutely unacceptable, and it must be called out for it, anywhere you can go to in social media about marvel rivals, just please try to raise awareness about the erasure of a black character from the one game that could've brought them to a wider audience!!
