Why can’t Tigra wear her classic costume?

Here’s a hot take: I like Tigra’s classic costume better than the one we got in game and I also think she’d sell more crystals if she wasn’t wearing a mechanic’s jumpsuit. So why force her to wear this custom made garb? Are people afraid of the female form? We don’t seem to be afraid of the male physique. Should Abomination be made to put a pair of pants on? Changing her look so drastically feels patronizing, as if to say the guy who originally drew her in 1974 should feel ashamed of his creation, as if the fans should feel bad about liking her in the first place. I don’t know how women would feel about this but, if I were a woman, I would be fairly confused. Were the original artists visions for these characters really so lewd or are we just being unnecessarily prude? Could it possibly be a desire to signal virtue has overtaken common sense? A bleak view of humanity dictating a set of rules that humanity doesn’t naturally abide? I don’t know but Tigra looks more like she’d drive a tow truck than comic book sales.

What do you all think? I’d be interested to hear the community’s point of view on this.

I agree..

I mean, they put magik in the game so I don't see why not

Actually, I completely forgot about Magik and Angela and such. While I don't take back my previous statement (because it's true), I feel as though Kabam draws the line at "armour".

How a woman with a bikini would be inappropriate for kids? Do kids are not allowed at beaches on summer either? 🤣

it might be a game designed for kids, but I would estimate that at least half of the players are adults/teens

It has nothing to do with what you are saying.
Her model simply was designed to be how it is. Whether you like it or not, thats personal and is a problem only on your behalf.
The game doesn't necessarily need to adapt a specific character custom, the same way it is on a specific material source

Isn’t it 13+?

I had the same complaint when they released Emma Frost. Such restrictive wardrobe would be a detriment to their, err, fighting style.

You immediately jumped to wrong conclusions based on nothing, as it becomes clear by reading the first post here.
Whether you link what she is wearing or not, it doesn't matter. The way you made up an issue that shouldn't be discussed here is the problem

Why does it matter at all tbh. I'm not trying to come off rude but there is bigger problems in this game that needs fixing rather then giving a character less clothes lmao

Although one could possibly argue that's kabams lack of care from events and overall content has now also lead to less than stellar design of a champs overall look.

Yeah fair enough but I don't understand the issue here why does it matter so much if it'll barely look different, and if it's for "personal" needs then there are other places to look for stuff like that lool

True tho I'll say I prefer my characters to look a bit more iconic or classic lol.

Yeah in any other case I'd understand but I don't think of Tigra to be much of an iconic character for this to be a issue but to each their own

For all we know though Disney could have had a final say on the reason why. I'll be honest though, if it wasn't for this post I would have assumed that was her comic costume.

Should have run it past Prof X.

Why do you have to be so negative? He's simply suggesting that he would have liked if Tigra wore her original costume and not this weird grandma outfit. It's not your place to just bash someone's opinion and tell them that it's their problem. The forums are an open place for discussion where people can express their opinions about anything MCOC related. Please consider this next time you think of bashing someone's opinion again.

Game designer may want to pay tribute to this non marvel character. Good old days.

If we have to see Abom and Iceman in undies (not that I'm complaining), why can't we have Tigra in a bikini?

What?

@BadPullsMarco sorry, what do you mean?

Dr. Crab

@manan_44 your original comment changed. It was a joke refereeing to your original statement. In the states there’s always the potential for an apoplectic digital wave to crash down on this thread if that stayed.
