Marvel Rivals is the newest scorching new recreation out on PC and consoles, amassing over 20 million downloads since its launch on December sixth. I am an enormous fan of the sport, and whereas it will not be as cinematic as any upcoming Marvel film we’ll see one the 2025 film schedule, I do assume there’s one character from it who must be within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
There are at the moment 33 characters accessible for Marvel Rivals, however just one has collectively captured the obsession of the fandom for higher or worse. As many reward this character for the way cute he’s, and rage about how overpowered he’s, we have to discuss why he needs to be getting a task in a Marvel film.
Folks Love (And Barely Hate As a result of His Character Is Too Highly effective) Jeff The Land Shark
Jeff The Land Shark first appeared in a 2018 situation of Marvel’s West Coast Avengers. Now, he is in Marvel Rivals and taking the sport by storm. Whereas this four-legged shark able to dwelling on land will not be the strongest hero by any means, he’s thought of one of many extra highly effective characters due to his skills in Marvel Rivals.
It is made him a little bit of a villain amongst those that play the sport, however solely as a result of his potential to eat and spit gamers off the map can get annoying. Total, persons are followers, and jokes apart, there’s actual love for the character on X:
- Jeff, the land shark is every thing to me. His little singing omg I like him a lot – @SpkyScryTrooper
- Jeff the Land Shark will not be a demon or something of that kind, he is a candy child and simply needs some meals – @pampurins
- I like sharks an excessive amount of to have the ability to say even one unhealthy phrase about jeff the land shark – @sivaranjani10
- idk how individuals hate jeff the land shark im having a lot enjoyable with the lil man – @gothiian
- My sons favourite character in @MarvelRivals is Jeff the land shark. He’s at all times sticking his tongue out and getting all excited – @chuaahh
By and enormous, there is a ton of affection for this comparatively new Marvel character on the web, and it is not arduous to see why. He has the identical basic look as Sew within the upcoming Lilo & Sew live-action film, and after the document yr Shark Week had, it is no shock that Jeff is on the comeup. He is genuinely one of many cutest Marvel characters I’ve ever seen, and I do not assume I am within the minority on that opinion.
Why We Want Jeff The Land Shark In The MCU
With James Gunn throwing all his energy into making DC nice with superior Superman trailers, I fear concerning the MCU shedding among the silliness he injected into it. Gunn did a fantastic job of balancing the melodrama of a superhero journey with some foolish comedy. I am shocked he by no means featured Jeff The Land Shark in a Guardians of the Galaxy film, actually, however he may present up anyplace.
With the character’s elevated reputation in Marvel Rivals, I feel Marvel needs to be contemplating including Jeff The Land Shark to a film if it hasn’t finished so already. Look, I do know the highest Marvel pet in the meanwhile occurs to be Dogpool, however I feel we will do higher than that.
Think about Jeff The Land Shark charging forward with The Avengers as they tackle Robert Downey Jr.’s Physician Doom within the upcoming ensemble movie. It is wonderful to consider, even whether it is foolish. So, let’s make it occur.
Marvel Rivals is accessible to obtain on PC, Xbox, and PS5. In the meantime, in case you are seeking to watch the Marvel films so as, anybody with a Disney+ subscription can take a look at the overwhelming majority of them. There’s by no means a foul time to go on a superhero binge spree, so why not do it now?
