New Venom Skin For Marvel Rivals Leaked

A new leak reveals an upcoming Venom skin that might be coming to Marvel Rivals, and fans express their disappointment over it for several reasons.

One clever fan dipped into Spider-Man’s long video game history for a stunt pulled off in the middle of a match. As recorded and shared by Reddit user tddcghnn, a Spider-Man player going by Shreklover2008 in-game managed to recreate the memorable opening scene from underrated PS3 open world game Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. In the years since its release, the scene has achieved meme status among Spider-Man fans owing to its bizarre framing.

Marvel Rivals Player Reenacts Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Meme Scene in the Middle of a Match

As shown in tddcghnn’s video, rather than using Spider-Man as the trickiest Marvel Rivals character, Shreklover2008 just walks slowly across the arena floor, ignoring all the surrounding combat, and even ignoring tddcghnn’s attacks as Captain America. The clip itself is interspersed with footage from Web of Shadows‘ opening, which shows Spider-Man walking somberly through a chaotic battle atop a SHIELD Helicarrier, surrounded by soldiers battling Venom symbiotes. This bizarre combination of an emotional walk framed against the intense fighting in the background quickly became a meme among fans.

Players were amused by the stunt, and a few were impressed by the fact that Shreklover2008 managed to walk for as long as they did without being eliminated. A few asked how such a slow, combat-ineffective walk is even possible. According to tddcghnn, the “slow walk” was accomplished on a gamepad, with the player simply nudging the analog stick forward to walk while staring at the floor. A few other commenters recalled fond memories of Web of Shadows, which, despite middling reviews at the time, drew a cult following over time. Web of Shadows even influenced later games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, in particular its handling of Venom in the narrative.
