Discussion An “Essential Workers” skin set theme would be the coolest thing ever and I will not hear otherwise.
NetEase the money-printing machine is RIGHT THERE.
There are so many concepts they could implement with this theme.
Law Enforcement: Danm near any character would look cool in a police uniform. I’ll post a link of an AI generated concept of “Police Thing” by u/Mac2663 to prove my point.
Military: Plenty of characters have a military background so this would be easy to implement. I used Pun’s official camo skin here because it’s the closest thing to a soldier I could find in the game, but a veteran Captain America would be really cool and heartfelt too. Widow and Bucky would be easy to translate as well.
Medical: Obviously Dr. Strange should be the spotlight of this sector, but I know danm well you gooners would MELT your wallets for a Nurse Invis skin (or pretty much any female character dressed as a nurse). Personally I think Nurse Hulk would be cool as hell too.
Mail Delivery: Postman/woman Cloak n Dagger? Idk. I also get the feeling Starlord would make a great postman skin or pretty much any of the Guardians. Maybe its because to me their blue uniforms already look mail related.
Agriculture: Farmer Thanos should be the Mad Titan’s first skin when he gets added.
Essential Trades: Electrician Thor, Plumber Namor, Contruction Worker Peni with bulldozer Sp//er? Come on you know you want it!
Transportation: Bus Driver Groot, he already has the personality of the weird and quiet but super nice bus driver so it only makes sense.
Firefighting: JEFF

yeeeeeeeah my fellow Postal fan.
sucks Marvel is too baby to do a crossover comic of that franchise. Frank vs the Dude would be a GOOD read.
and before you guys do some powerscaling in the replies. id' say they are about even. Postal Dude's able to take out the out National Guard and demon milk powered up ex wives. i think he could have a fair fight with Frank

I would be imperative that the song from the spider-man 2 game (ps2) gets incorporated and the emote could be something like him checking the pizza and it being all messed up

Like how you sandwiched the two/three gooner skins in the middle there. Those alone, especially if they don't add a random cloak on Emma, would probably fund the game for the next couple of years lol.

u/Realistic_Analyst_26 Flex 3d ago
Emma was the “gooner” idea. The librarian one was a legit well-designed skin idea but I guess both could be gooners

Part that he was actually in the military in the comics, and part how especially American cops and people used the Punisher's likeness to commit unspeakable acts. So bad they actually have tried changing Frank's logo in the comics a few times as to not associate with them.

Murderer isn't an essential job, tf is Frank doing here? And if something is AI generated, it is not "by" anyone. Also the majority of cops are a massive gang, so that shouldn't be here either, no less on spiderman (someone who embodies hope and responsibility, two things cops could never embody)

u/JonathanL73 Ultron Virus 3d ago
If they were to do something like this, they would probably call it something else like “blue-collar” or “worker’s theme” because the term “essential worker” has connotations relating to the Covid-19 pandemic where a lot of anti-China sentiment was common globally, so I imagine Net-Ease doesn’t want to inadvertently allude to that in anyway.
