Reading the comics will help. A user named buttholder posted a pretty good primer/reading list in the discordit might help if i actually watched any of these other than the original 90's cartoon

Will we have some wacky Irish people in the game? Banshee? Or even better his redhead semen demon of a saughter, Siryn?
That accent...
You got me at redhead semen demon. Sign me up.
Yes the dev team has said if they got speaking roles, they would have an accent.P.S.: Totally sign off on Siryn being in the game. I also have a weakness for redheads!
Would you be willing to consult? I'm sure you could help us make it less stereotypical than what the comics did.As an Irish person, explain to me what an Irish accent sounds like, without it (a) becoming Scottish, (b) becoming cliched or (c) becoming a little bit offensive.
The 90s cartoon is actually more representative as we're attempting to steer away from Evolution and more into comics.it might help if i actually watched any of these other than the original 90's cartoon
1. We want it to be readable for most people. Even I have trouble with Kurt and I helped write himBut why make it less of a stereotype?
The game is not for linguistic phd's or some other autisms that it's not 100% faithful on how people speek, but to the fans of the80s,90s and Evolution guys, right?
I only remember one person disliking Rogue's accent, and they were claiming to be from the southern US while making demonstrably false claims about southern accents. IIRC, other people called him on this, tried to give him an opportunity to clarify in case he was being misunderstood, and then he doubled down and eventually just said your writing would be shit if you kept writing her that way and left. I've lived in five southern states, and while I'd agree her accent would be wrong if you're just going for a more generic southern accent, the type of accent you've used for Rogue (and that is usually canonically used or described that she uses) is pretty common in certain types of places in some parts of the south, and Rogue is from one of those types of places. Even in the discussion that came up previously, I think people mentioned having known people who speak that way.While I personally don't care if some people dislike it, someone disagreed with Rogue's accent, I rather not turn off an entire demographic of potential players.
NIN's music has been popular for around 30 years and they've long been an easy band to reference in other media. And ever since X-men Evolution, its been fandom headcanon that Rogue would listen to them, as evidenced by this piece, that I think dates back to the early 2000s.I just notice that Rogue uses a Nine Inch Nails t-shirt, either the artist or the dev who solicited this is a person of culture.
Skynyrd is the other obvious one I'd think.NIN was one of the first bands mentioned
Skynyrd is the other obvious one I'd think.
Speaking of Trent's hard-drinking tourmates of the time I'd be shocked if she didn't have any Type O Negative or Pantera in her collection somewhere. Ditto for Ministry or Sisters of Mercy. Maybe Bauhaus too or even Siouxsie and the Banshees.
We don't want to get a cease and desist from like 7 music labelsI'd add Joy Division, the Cure, and Sonic Youth to that list. Maybe Daughters, Iceage, Death Grips, or Black Country New Road if for something a little more recent, but that's iffy.
So I take it this Scott is more 90s TV show than comic version?We don't want to get a cease and desist from like 7 music labels
Also have another preview.

He's a much easier guy to deal with but we are still very comic book based. Just '95 influenced.So I take it this Scott is more 90s TV show than comic version?
I'm glad. We have several plans for further laughter.That Professor X message was the funniest thing I've seen all week.
I think this first demo release was a pretty good thingNot making that mistake again lmao
Once we get in a few releases we'll start doing roadmaps and stuff but we tried doing release dates and release windows and it backfired on us. We are grateful for how forgiving the community has been on that though!
It's definitely Patrick Stewart Professor X with Avery Bullock energyThat Professor X message was the funniest thing I've seen all week.
