Indeed, my tastes in women do not lead me toward blondes and it's very rare I find one of them "hot". But that's not my problem with Gwen - if it were, I wouldn't mention Tabitha among the characters I'd prefer to see in the game.
This game builds up from the
X-men: Evolution show. Originally, the only girl you could romance was Rogue - hence the name and Zero's basic power: immunity to mutant powers, to allow physical interactions between them.
Then Oni added Kitty, another character from the show and most importantly,
with her design from the show like he did for Rogue. It reinforced the game by cementing its global style and aesthetic, giving it continuity. Characters like 80's Jubes or Gwen break this because their design doesn't fit among the rest of the game (this flashy yellow coat, huh...
), a point Gwen's fans seem to begin to understand if I judge by their screams in this thread, about her face and how it stands poorly among the rest of the cast.
What I am saying is, if Oni wants so badly to keep adding characters instead of really fleshing the existing ones and develop all the cool things fans have been suggesting and asking for years, there isn't any shortage of hot female mutants from his original material whose designs would blend perfectly into his work.
That's my problem with Gwen; not her being blonde.
Some people just wanna bitch about "canons" it seems. Heed them no mind.
Some people enjoy a work well done, consistency being one of the main criteria about that. But don't let my feedback hinder you; as the 80's taught us, to stack good things together can't end poorly... or can it?
