Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.5b] [Ron Chon]

[ShinyBoots1993]

As long as I can fuck Rogue and Laura, I'm happy.

I guess you're happy then.

still haven't seen Logan

I actually think it was a good send off for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. I'm fine if we get a new actor. Hopefully one that's actually 5'2 XD

It's bad.

That is a matter of opinion.

This thread has got me interested in x-men comics so i started at the very beginning. Just finished the silver age stuff and now on to second genesis stuff. Next up Phoenix Saga.

Welcome to my suffering. I skipped most of the initial stuff since the game begins shortly after Second Genesis.

So i have to ask, since Polaris/Lorna Dane was wasted in 1-66 and after leaves with Havok, what are the chances of her showing up? As a teacher or student.

Yeah before I started looking at everything I thought Lorna was a lot younger than she actually was. So she'd probably be a teacher if we have her.

The team and I are gonna have to discuss how to handle Havok. Saying Stan Lee invented romances for BOTH Scott brothers would just be lazy.

Also it's a dickhead move to include additional stuff in reprints, thankfully i've read after issue 45 of classic x-men they stopped.

Dude you forgot to read the "Missing Years" run in between the OG stuff and Second Genesis

 

[Buttholder]

X-Men: The Hidden Years, a.k.a. John Byrne's least essential series to date. And that's saying something.

I don't know that the X-Men are even gonna be introduced into the MCU any time soon. That is, outside of Deadpool 3, which I doubt they would use as a lead-in to more serious X-Men movies, and I don't know if they're gonna treat that like it's really the MCU proper, or just another corner of the multiverse like they did with Venom and Morbius.

 

[Crichton]

Not all of the guys need to have a canon-ish relationship. They could just be incels...

Or give them one of unnamed Stepford Cuckoos...

Or put them in the twink dimension.

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

They could just be incels...

Yeah we decided early on we weren't gonna be that mean spirited.

Or give them one of unnamed Stepford Cuckoos...

No they're ours.

Or put them in the twink dimension.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

X-Men: The Hidden Years, a.k.a. John Byrne's least essential series to date. And that's saying something.

I mean I didn't even remember the name properly XD

I'm just sad that the Venom Tom Holland will be fighting won't be Tom Brady's

But yeah Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Kevin Feige have all confirmed on social media and some interviews that Deadpool 3 is in the actual MCU. Not the Sonyverse or a What If. Though they also implied that Logan was also in the MCU??? Which I can actually see as being a thing as some lines of dialogue can imply that mutants weren't as big of a thing so Logan could be a third X-Men timeline entirely.

Deadpool 1 did feature a shield hellicarrier in its finale as a wink to the audience but that may actually be taken into account in if Deadpool 1&2 will be 100% canon.

It's all rather weird with how little has been revealed.

 

[Buttholder]

I mean I didn't even remember the name properly XD

I read the first few issues then started skipping huge chunks of it. A lot of the 60s/70s stuff i just started scan-reading, so much of it is too simplistic for me, but THY doesn't even have that excuse, it was a late-90s release. Don't get me wrong, when Byrne's good, he's good, his She-Hulk run was character-defining for a reason, and Next-Men started off as a great deconstruction of the X-Men franchise as it stood in the early-90s. But then there was a whole time travel thing and the plots started getting more convoluted and it just got too convoluted for its own good.

Plus, Byrne is infamously kind of a major asshole who acts like he single-handedly defined comics as an art-form in the 80s. He's got an ego on him that would put Axl Rose to shame.

 

[rb813]

I'm just sad that the Venom Tom Holland will be fighting won't be Tom Brady's

It could be even worse; there's talk that Holland won't come back either.

Also, I think you meant Tom Hardy.

But yeah Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Kevin Feige have all confirmed on social media and some interviews that Deadpool 3 is in the actual MCU.

I'm really curious to see how they'll handle this, but I'm guessing it'll just be some kinda throwaway meta-joke, at least in the next movie. I'd be thrilled if Deadpool starts crossing over with the Avengers and other MCU properties.

Deadpool 1 did feature a shield hellicarrier in its finale

You know what's crazy about this? The people making the movie didn't actually get the rights to use a SHIELD Helicarrier. The directors had to

that it was just some generic "flying combat platform."

 

[Crichton]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

There's a reason it's the only valid option I gave

Can we know how many full outfits are available in the first two semesters?

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

*Googles* Dude I straight up thought that a Football player became an actor. I don't know sports.

You're getting 4 semesters in the first build. Unless you mean chapters.

The answer is the same either way. No idea. Whenever I see a screenshot in the bug testing channel, there's a new outfit.

 

[Rapeseed]

I actually think it was a good send off for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. I'm fine if we get a new actor. Hopefully one that's actually 5'2 XD

It was a fantastic send-off. Wolverine's the same man he has always been, his character is treated well, and he never breaks character.
By the way, is he going to be 5'2" in Null? Can I please make fun of him for his height if he is? Not just him, Laura too since his genes affected her as well.

That is a matter of opinion.

You think it's good? Can you share why? I want as many ways to see that ending as there can be because I think it's absolutely, just, disrespectful in a movie that respects its characters so fantastically.

Though they also implied that Logan was also in the MCU??? Which I can actually see as being a thing as some lines of dialogue can imply that mutants weren't as big of a thing so Logan could be a third X-Men timeline entirely.

I was confused by that as well, I just assumed it was because I missed a movie or two, but Logan is very explicit in his language - I'm still not that interested in watching whatever came out after... whatever the last one I watched name's was, but it made me curious on just how much I missed.

It's a very grim experience in an even worse world, so if it isn't in the same timeline, I'm not particularly dissapointed.

Or put them in the twink dimension.

This is one of the funniest lines I've ever read. I just imagined a judge with his hammer saying; "You're sentenced to the Twink Dimension."


By the way, I've only watched Deadpool once - doesn't he directly visit the Institute and brings along... I think three? People with him? Wasn't it Rogue, Collusus... and I forgot the last one.

It was just Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who exists in the comics but was basically a new character for the movie. I forgot if it was the first or the sequel but theres also a scene where a lot of the fox actors for the newer movies are in a room and they quickly shut the door before Deadpool sees them

In Deadpool 2, there's also "Yukio," NTW's girlfriend, who is clearly an active member of the X-Men based on the climactic fight scene, but I don't think she was based on anything from the comics (there was a character in the comics called Yukio connected to Wolverine, but that's just a person's name, there isn't anything else they had in common). Also,

is a page showing what NTW was like in the comics before, if anyone's curious about how much she was changed for the movie (basically, they just liked the name and ignored everything else).

 

[Buttholder]

NTW was going to be

from the New Mutants in early drafts of the script. Their powers are pretty similar, but hers are more energy projection than flying, invulnerability and all the other stuff he does. Before the movie, the original NTW was a creepy precog who showed up for about three panels before dying in an attack on Genosha that wiped the island clean. She showed up again in Joss Whedon's X-Men run where she was basically a different creepy character.

Incidentally, she's named after a Monster Magnet song, one of their better ones. Worth checking out if you ask me.

Without being much of an expert on Cannonball, I feel like her powers are basically, "Cannonball but we already spent most of the effects budget on Colossus."

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

By the way, is he going to be 5'2" in Null?

Yes.

Can I please make fun of him for his height if he is?

If he's on screen it would make sense for to have a Bitter/Anti-Hero Null make fun of him.

Not just him, Laura too since his genes affected her as well.

A girl being 5'2 isn't weird though.

You think it's good? Can you share why?

I wouldn't say good but it didn't offend me like it did you.

It's a very grim experience in an even worse world

I think that was just the tone. The Old Man Logan comic showed a dystopian America ruled by super villains. In Logan mutants were just a dying breed in America because of agricultural industry introducing a chemical that turns off the X-Gene.

I forgot if it was the first or the sequel but theres also a scene where a lot of the fox actors for the newer movies are in a room and they quickly shut the door before Deadpool sees them

Which muddies the timeline and I'd hate it if it was just a gag because while it was funny, it did show how the X-Men in general felt about Deadpool.

Dude Cannonball would have been so much cooler.

They could have at least given NTW her original look though.

The thing I love about this thread is I can keep it open in front of my wife and she doesn't even notice it's a thread on a porn game.
Also, I learn things on comics, thanks guys !

I kinda ignore the timeline in all the fox movies, it never makes any sense. Which is why I think Logan and Deadpool are the best ones, you could comfortably stick them into any story with the X-Men and they'll probably work

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

it never makes any sense

Just like the comics.

Also, I learn things on comics, thanks guys !

You're welcome!

Not too far off the mark, actually, the budget on the film was as tight as it gets. There's an infamous story about how they almost ran out of money for stuff like the final fight in the movie. They had a big elaborate fight scene planned, but they just couldn't afford it. Ryan Reynolds not only offered to take a paycut but apparently came up with the idea of Wade forgetting his guns to bring it down to a more manageable scale (as well as one of the more memorable jokes in the movie). He also paid to get the likeness of Bea Arthur into the film out of his own pocket. He really did believe in the movie.

Just doing my job. If there's one thing I love doing and do well (I think, at least) it's doing deep dives on this stuff. My gf likes comics, but prefers more self-contained stuff - Rat Queens, I Hate Fairyland, that kind of thing - so it's not something I get to do very often.

 

[Rapeseed]

If he's on screen it would make sense for to have a Bitter/Anti-Hero Null make fun of him.

Yeah, hahahahahah. I hope we can make fun of him somehow. I want him to try and reach for the anything just to have us help him.
Bonus points if Laura sees it and smiles. I'd ask if something similar happens in the comics, but apparently being a midget is a common North American thing.

A girl being 5'2 isn't weird though.

It sorta is, even more if her father is. You can make fun of anything, and with a girl who could slive any normal human being in half? It's her 5'2" genes I'm making fun of.
Not that it'd stop me from trying to get my genes along with hers.

I wouldn't say good but it didn't offend me like it did you.

Offend's a misunderstanding. I think it was disrespectful to the character and story - it didn't disrespect me.

I think that was just the tone. The Old Man Logan comic showed a dystopian America ruled by super villains. In Logan mutants were just a dying breed in America because of agricultural industry introducing a chemical that turns off the X-Gene.

There are mentions of a big event, right at the beginning of the movie when that long and carefully filmed scene of Logan changing Xavier's diapers occurs. Hah, but really, it hints at an extermination of some kind - and since it just hints, you can imagine it's worse.

Which muddies the timeline and I'd hate it if it was just a gag because while it was funny, it did show how the X-Men in general felt about Deadpool.

I'd be embarassed too, Deadpool hits towards a much larger audience with movies. And if he shows up at the institute, there're kids around, and Deadpool is not kiddy-friendly.

The thing I love about this thread is I can keep it open in front of my wife and she doesn't even notice it's a thread on a porn game.

Look at this guy, he's married! What a loser, having a loving, magnificent and caring wife! Hah! Can you imagine being this much of a loser Shi - oh, no...
I would have done the joke using Holder, but he's not married.

I kinda ignore the timeline in all the fox movies, it never makes any sense. Which is why I think Logan and Deadpool are the best ones, you could comfortably stick them into any story with the X-Men and they'll probably work

That's probably for the best, but it's a shame, man... X-Men is a... sorta nice, movie. And X-2 is genuinely fun, it's also written and directed with a lot of competence.
