Jesus, I wake up to three pages.
Cracks knuckles.
if, in the event, it is Emma Frost, will she be capable of reading Null's mind or would it be similar to how Charles and Jean can't due to his power?
Like Charles and Jean, Emma would be able to send messages but she won't be able to read his mind.
As hinted at in Chapter 1, Null will eventually be able to block even that with the evolution of his powers.
any chance of an Old Man Logan reference in future updates?
Not too likely as that became a thing IRL decades after our planned stopping point but...
Earth-69 is meant to take place in the multiverse. Meaning that the stuff going on in Earth-616 is entirely unaltered(I'm sorry Spiderman) and with all the multiverse bullshit going on we may reference some shenanigans.
Specifically her role in the Hellfire Club and them trying to indoctrinate/turn the Dark Phoenix into their Black Queen iirc (My X-Men lore is a bit rusty, so forgive me).
You recall correctly.
My only concern right now is will they even be able to fit all of that in their current format of a chapter consisting of the 4 seasons?
Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be VERY event heavy with a lot of optional side content. Chapter 1 is only as light as it is because A. It serves to introduce you to the setting and B. Null isn't a member of the X-Men yet. He will join the team officially in Chapter 2.
Cause I do remember the X-men going to space during Dark Phoenix and the whole Lilandra and Shi'ar Empire plot line unfolding but maybe they'll cut it?
Null won't be at every event the X-Men took part in. Not every member of the team was there for every plot beat.
You'll see some of the Shi'ar but not all of it.
Could just be me but I see the devs doing a more grounded take with this story with some elements of the cosmic being integrated but not fully going into it.
This is 100% true. There's also a plot reason for this but I won't risk spoiling it.
Plus, all that art assets making those sequences could be taxing (just looking at this from a logistics point of view).
Dude once you see the finale of Chapter 1... Ron doesn't do things half way.
Could just be me again but seems a bit much don't you think and Charles Xavier would be really suspicious as to why this guy just managed to seduce 2 staff members?
Earth-69 is a lot more sex positive. It's not porn logic sex positive like the other X-Men games on this website.
There are still people who believe sex exists solely for procreation and religions that practice celibacy still do so, but western society on a broader scale never stopped the sexual liberation of the late 60s and early 70s. It's why all the the girls are open to poly, but just like IRL poly relationships, they still require a lot of trust and discussion.
Ethics boards still exist but if Storm isn't taking advantage of Null's perceived naivete or giving him special treatment then Xavier has no reason to ban a relationship if it between two consenting adults who have considered what that entails.
But, let's play devil's advocate.
Please do. The dev team loves reading these.
(Like the Kurt of Chapter 2, he's already got his own art asset too)
Kurt will be the Kurt of Chapter 2. You're getting two(Maybe more
) bros to hang out with.
Since Gambit isnt here to help out like in the comics
Not yet at least.
we already have two if not 3 when storm comes
Storm won't be a dom.
Lastly, Emma's face in the art. She's cute and pretty don't get me wrong but I remember Emma always having her eyebrow raised with this smug attitude and resting bitch face that just likes to be condescending, anyone else? Would be a lot better if they made her face more angular and meanish.
Looks more innocent. I guess it's down more to the expression and shading.
She needs to look more smug.
people just want her to look meaner and smug, she is THE prime Domme of the X-men after all.
Actually, i agree on this, she needs to look more smug and look at us like if we were a worm, thats the true White Queen experience.
I think the everybody might be too hang up about the expression when it might be that the artist just drew a neutral expression for this preview.
This. Y'all forget that each eye, eyebrow, the lips, and nose are all separate pieces. I know some of y'all press skip but actually look at our faces and you'll see that the expressions change
A LOT.
