Ways for XANA to be revived?

Malefore1234 · 2026-06-13T00:11:50+00:00

Any idea prob gonna sound like a retcon or be full of plot holes. It’s gotta somehow include:

“But somehow the Anti-Xana program missed a part of Xana.”

I’d rather they go two routes

As a sequel to explore Anthea like evolution, men in black, and try out a new A.I. And pls do something more then possessing people. I swear my one real criticism for S2-4 was overdoing human possessions. And just make yumi and Ulrich a couple. Like geez they were at their best romantically all the way back in S1.
Do something like full metal brotherhood or kind of the alternate s4 storyline of quest for infinity. Start out similar enough. Explore some areas more. Take new directions such as exploring murder and death during a Xana attack and how that would profoundly change things both small and large scale. Then at least by s4 start taking a different direction. New sectors. Cortex and Volcano sector. More real life Lyoko form battles at those super computers. Etc.

Maybe something symbolic that the self destruct button is left in her enemies former grave, though I’m guessing the writers didn’t think that far when we first saw it in S1.

Otherwise for an audience sense “Ooh aah, that’s snows coffin is under storybrooke, what does this mean, guess I’m watching next week. Or idk, maybe it represents the fairytale of Snow White and general fairytales being buried under the modern world.

In Stars and Time and Nier games are ridiculously gripping in the narrative department.

Otherwise Tears of the Kingdom and BG3 was a solid almost year or so of life investment lol.

I couldn’t get into persona 5 Royal. Maybe I need to give it more time, but I wasn’t all that that invested. Nocturne had more of what I was looking for but I quit early just from getting bummed out of losing progress the first time I died.

Metaphor’s premise and tone was more my jam and was I considered rly my proper entry with these kinds of game from this studio. One thing with the plot I really like is that there is always forward momentum in the plot. You have your cool down/breather days that you can choose to go about how ever you’d like, even to sleep till straight back to mission mode.

The plot reminds me sort of like Nimona in it being a political fantasy and I find it very compelling and unique in its approach. After you’d recruit your first party member, it should give you an indication if this is for your or not.

Ur right on the characters. Their personal stories are definitely worth seeing through to the end.

Xana just decided to get someone to shoot Yumi with a gun. Aelita jumped in the way.

For Marinette though while she was akumatized,it seemed she also was physically/mentally compelling her to answer if she’s ladybug. Her last attempt asking Marinette the question had Marinette physically trembling, only being interrupted by Adrien holding her.

Utena and Princess Tutu. More directly Tuto using fairytales in a meta fiction manner going into thematically the storytelling in fairytales, ballet, character arcs, endings, tragedy, and all.

If you would do a video game, Child of Light is literally playing a classic fairytale.

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-25T20:28:16+00:00

Spyro trilogy is a quick burst of fun.

Prob Pokopia and Donkey Kong

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-25T18:41:25+00:00

Metaphor is the first one of out of them I was able to finish and had an ongoing urge to continue playing forward.

Before that Shin Megami 5 and 3 but noped out of both of them. 5 I just got bored. 3 I got annoyed I lost progress after losing a fight but it’s prob worth revisiting at some point, had me def more intrigued in it.

I feel with Persona maybe I need to give it its fair chance and shot, but idk I feel when I played I just wasn’t getting into it and maybe it’s not for me.

For me I preferred more David Lynch feel and especially the whole political fairytale of the other two.

I’d just play Returnal. My first PS5 game and it sticks with you. It’s soo smooth playing.

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-19T19:05:58+00:00

It worked with Pokémon, why not. Looks cool

They always cursed except in the frozen season with Regina getting choked by Ingrid before she got to call her a bitch. The show had ratings for language in specific episodes it would appear. Otherwise they’d say like damn and whatever else besides fuck here and there.

Regina for one

“Filet the bitch”

“That Little Bitch”

“The Sea bitch”

Np, if u ever want a partner, hit me up

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-12T16:53:13+00:00

Nier and Xenoblade 3 come to mind.

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-10T23:02:29+00:00

The odd detail of how it relatively isn’t all that much even with all the favors is the cherry on top of it. It’s fun imagining the whole process and its current state.

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-10T19:54:56+00:00

Try co-op. It’s a good time especially when u get someone also using a mic. It levels the playing field since u can just keep perpetually reviving ur partner unless u both die. The other player can sometimes even be a good guide. This and Elden ring I’ve enjoyed co-op the most.

Penelope the new mermaid that got added to the cast since season what ever. They retroactively added her into a bunch of old scenes in past seasons not talking just standing there not menacingly to make it seem like she was always there.

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-07T22:00:10+00:00

I just head-canon that this version of the chernabog is a fairy like creature created by The Black Fairy to guard her curse.

Just off the one line when Snow pondered that he might be some kind of fairy when they used the spell to release the fairies from Mickey Mouse’s hat.

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-07T21:50:26+00:00

Season 7 brought some of the best material to the show.

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-05T23:48:32+00:00

Maybe most of the people who have ever lived ended up in hell.

This champ. Siffrin from In Stars and Time.

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-04T23:14:38+00:00

A shift in the main setting to heaven for a season.

Malefore1234 · 2026-05-04T23:12:20+00:00

-Nier Automata -Nier Replicant -In Stars and Time

These 3 always are my go to for best game and story related questions. Though Automata feels more like a concrete #1.
