There's very few things I'd consider myself to be an expert in, but this is one of them. When I say we've considered what kind of ramifications even slight changes to the timeline would have, I'm not joking. Hell, my 'audition' for joining the team was to rewrite a key event from the comics with Laura as part of the team, but without having her replace someone else wholesale, so we've definitely got one eye on imagining what having characters like her on the team will change. And there's some stuff coming up in later years that I promise no one will see coming, one event in particular that I genuinely wish I could spoil in advance that I'm really proud of. But between the pair of us, Shiny and myself have gone to scary levels of depth in working out how and where things will go.
After reading a fair amount of text here, I realized that it is very important for you to match the original comics, and you spend a lot of effort on this so that everything is canon, and you do not want to add anything of your own.We already had her art and some of her writing. Same with Rogue.
If we went with a hard reset instead, the initial line up would be Jean, Polaris, and Storm.
And here is the question, did you have so much ready-made content on X-23 that you decided to violate the location of the characters in the timelines?
It just seems to me personally that if you spend so much effort to make everything according to canon, then maybe it was worth discarding X-23? She will still take up a small part of the entire content (1 girl out of 15). So you will not lose much, but you will get rid of the problems with how to fit her in, and you will be able to 100% correspond to the canon that you are trying to adhere to, and something that you can confidently point to if the situation requires it. At the same time, Rogue should be moved further in the game, because as I understand it, she also appeared earlier than necessary, but it is still possible to squeeze in later with other girls (???)
And the content with X-23 does not necessarily have to be thrown out, it can be put off for later, and used when she grows up (For example, in TNH 2) So the efforts of the artists will not be wasted, or just use her body for the girl who will have to come out, who is very similar to her physically, then you won’t even have to throw anything out or put it off.
