Morrigan is a really kind of unique in that I think she might be the first video game character I remember who was also kind of a sex symbol.  I mean, not a universal one.  I don’t think that my parents would have seen her as such (I don’t know, I didn’t ask.  I can’t say that I want to have that conversation so we’ll leave that a mystery) but I mean that like, maybe she was the first video game character people felt comfortable talking about in such terms.  Too comfortable if you ask me since in college there was this guy who lived in the next dorm who had this giant Cloth Scroll of a nearly naked Morrigan in a sexy pose right over his bed and I think everyone but him thought it was pretty off putting.  I would say I am not here to judge but even now, all these years later, I’m pretty clearly judging him.  Anyway, my point is that it wasn’t the first time someone was like, “Hey, that video game character is kind of hot,” but it seemed to be the first time a large number of people seemed comfortable in admitting it.  And then came Lara Croft a few years later and while certainly plenty of people probably thought people were weird for thinking she was hot, there was a sort of a resignation that people were going to think so.  So I guess Morrigan is important.  In a way.  I feel like she was designed for that.  I knew what a Succubus was in 1994.  I assume many people did and if they didn’t before the game came out they certainly did afterwards.  There is a reason that little bit of supernatural lore always seems to seep into nerd culture and it’s because it’s pretty much an excuse to talk about spooky stuff but really just feed blatant male fantasy (and female fantasy.  I want to be fair here.  I am well aware that @pigeonfoo will like this post if she sees it).  I never really liked Darkstalkers though cause I didn’t think it was a very good game and the truth is I always sucked at fighting games.  So I didn’t like the series and it wasn’t a thing I thought about much but even I recognized that yes, Morrigan was hot and also she had just a great costume.  It’s top notch.  I still suck at fighting games but all the Capcom Vs. stuff has appealed to me because Superheroes.  And crossovers.  And I just bought Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite and man, this game is great.  It is just exactly the sort of silly stupidness I want from a crossover.  The story mode is pretty much perfect.  And Morrigan showed up and you know what, she’s pretty hot.  And also I love her dedication to being who she is. World ending?  Guy with a flaming skull for a head shows up and only talks about vengeance?  That’s no reason to not try to seduce him.  You have to respect someone so wholly herself that she won’t let circumstances change it. So here she is, not surprisingly at all clothed pictures were harder to find than not clothed ones of a video game character, here is what I have.  Today I want to fuck Morrigan Aensland.
