Marvel Rivals now lets you pet Jeff the Shark in an apparent attempt to make him look cute and not like the big dopey menace he'll be for the rest of his dumb life

Jeff the Land Shark as he appears in Marvel Rivals.

Nothing will convince me Jeff the Shark, the murderous, stalking support hero from Marvel Rivals, is cute. Not the doe-eyed, slack-jawed expression he makes when he rips you to shreds, not his plump belly or flappy tail, not even the little collar and nametag around his neck, and most certainly not this new duo emote between him and Emma Frost, which also happens to be Rival's first ever duo emote period.

Whether you can pet [insert animal] is often a reliable benchmark for whether I'll like a game, but for once, adding this simple gesture isn't doing anything for me in the case of Marvel Rivals, and it's all because it's Jeff the freakin' Shark you can pet.
