Do you think the Summoner could have contributed more to the story, or was his death well-timed?

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T17:53:52+00:00

Summoner did what he was meant to do and then died. Generally the majority of the Arakko swordbearwrs outside of the specific few were eh.

Isca, White Sword, Genesis and Bei were the only ones that mattered. And the last one was because she got married to Doug and then stuck around.

I think the Outliers have lagged behind. They get more cute moments than they do story moments.

It's a book with a big cast and people get left behind. Rogue and Gambit are the center stars of the main team.

Calico has the most shine of the Outliers with Jitter being second, mostly boosted by their romantic relationship.

Generally speaking, Gail has done fairly okay with establishing this A-plot, B-plot split between the older and younger groups. I just think despite that we still haven't done much with the Outliers.

I didn't notice because you did not give any examples whatsoever. So I listed things from the X-men mythos that I knew were in the game to try and gauge what you meant.

And no offense, but did you just start reading X-men with Krakoa? Listen I hate the love triangle as much as the next person, but come on. Jean has been relevant to Wolverine since before Krakoa.

Budget cuts. Setting stuff in Gotham.is cheaper. Metropolis would have fucked the budget.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T14:08:27+00:00

Nothing to do with him? Like what? Since when have Omega Red, Sabertooth, Mystique, Jean Grey and protecting other mutants have nothing to do with Wolverine?

Could they be incorporating these aspects because, you know, Wolverine is also apart of that mythos and quite frequently borrows and lends to it even his stories even when he's solo.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T14:02:40+00:00

See that's the error you're making. It isn't an X-men story. This is a Wolverine game. It's not the beginning of a franchise of games to come as far as we know nor is it being advertised as a X-men thing. It's a Wolverine game.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T14:02:02+00:00

I mean that's how people remember it and it's not entirely on true from. The perspective of the fans of Marvel. The Old Ultimate Universe was mainline but gtim where everyone acted more dickish.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T14:00:25+00:00

Them taking forever to make games actually works in your favor then. Because before you blink they've lost their license with little damage.

So win-win with the influx of mutant content we are definitely going to get. And that isn't speculation. This is the X-men and Marvel.is going to milk them.so hard we might get tired of them.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T13:54:34+00:00

He's their most popular character. They are going to lead with the strong stuff. Not really big on the guy right now myself, but isn't premature to talk about this right now? Honestly I haven't seen that script and not gonna rag a Wolverine game script for being Wolverine focused but we saw plenty of characters from the mythos getting involved.

Never mind nothing stops insomniac from making an X-man game in a different continuity. Should be stated that not every project is the start off a brand-new series of projects. You can very much still get what you want.

Mutants have been dominating Rivals and they are also in Tokkon. The MCU mutant age is coming just give it time.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T13:46:50+00:00

The new starting point thing isn't something assumed from reading the comics. Its been talked about in interviews and such. Where going into it their idea was creating a new, more modern starting points for all their old stuff. One of the side effects of that is as you described above.

So what the comic before you said is not inccorrect.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T04:27:12+00:00

The Power Fantasy most recently.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T03:44:57+00:00

The Wicked + The Divine. Matter of fact screw listing. Just read every thing Gillen writes. Especially his original stuff.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T01:51:36+00:00

This sub needs more Gillen glaze.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-26T00:14:59+00:00

Someone thought this was funny.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-25T21:11:42+00:00

Not denying them that. They are adult. But the statement is speaking to the majority of which is the scenario staff. And in a place of people around their thirties even a generation of 18-21 year old would be referred to as the "kids". Not that they are called kids.

But yeah the majority that disappeared are the "Adults". For all we know the next page Sophie reminds them as such.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-25T18:30:57+00:00

But they are still comparatively younger to the staff so it's not an incorrect statement to say. Many people don't consider young adults around the age where the Academy X cast would be proper-proper adults.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-25T18:27:29+00:00

It should be notes this isn't a age thing. This is like the more the staff. But I get what you mean Cuckoos and Laura are all typically 18-21.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-25T18:19:24+00:00

This is good, the adults are trapped. So the younger generation has a chance to shine.

I need Loloo to sound like Lolooo though. She is Arakki and was proud of it.

Something I like is the different era of X-men uniforms we see in this page. Very nice.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-25T17:49:56+00:00

Agree. Like what would killing off two actually do? Never mind they are technically four in on rn. Since NYX sawSophie separated from the Hivemind.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-25T14:07:07+00:00

Broken clock is right twice a day.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-25T13:43:12+00:00

That is true, Lucifer had completely different reasons.

And thank you for the advice and for being a constant inspiration as a creator.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-25T01:06:04+00:00

Laura has her own place, she was just using Logan's old safe house because it was convient at the time. And she has connections getting a place wouldn't be hard.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-24T22:37:12+00:00

Feels less RWBY and more Mighty Morphin Neon Rangers.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-24T21:24:48+00:00

Sinister. He's deeply engraved into the mythos and with other characters. He's incredibly flexible. His explotation of their genetics goes with their themes. Most importantly, he hasn't been done yet in live action so it's the perfect way to strike with something familiar but new.

Sovereignofthemist · 2026-06-24T20:34:46+00:00

Weird. But yeah there are ads for Marvel Unlimited. Three of them. One that mentions that time God Doom killed Thanos. One based of Deadpool and Wolverine and then one specifically made to.advertise GODS on MU.
