So this just dropped. It is doing a good job as a teaser to give us a hint at what the movie is about, but gives us nothing on the villain or the main story.


Honestly, it actually says a lot about Carol's own story-- Amnesia and all that, I mean-- and I'm just suspecting the Kree are gonna double-cross and pull some "we need to wipe out the Earth to kill the Skrulls" shit, and Carol will be all, "I'm part Kree, but I'm also human" etc. and other stuff about her history that I don't want to overtly spoil in the slim chance I am right.

Overall, fun trailer though. Sam Jack's Chocula in his agelessness.

Also, I guess, the CGI does that, too

I love that Marvel's solution for the origin story problem is this:

WRITER 1: People are kind of tired of origin movies.

WRITER 2: Yeah, but Captain Marvel's not a household name, so we've gotta cover it.

WRITER 1: Yeah... oh, I know! What if she's already got her powers, but she has amnesia? That way, we can skip straight to the superhero stuff, but also cover the origin as she recovers her memories!

It's genuinely genius.

@Bounce I was unaware you left the game. That's unfortunate, but as always it was a pleasure seeing your concepts.

Who else has left out of curiosity?

*Cue slideshow featuring Sarah McLachlan's timeless classic, 'I Will Remember You'.*

EDIT:

Nightrunner as Wolverine
Inkarnate as Wonder Woman (Came back for the finale)
stark as Iron Man
Tackytaff as Mockingbird
The Angry Goat as Shade
ErsatzEmperor as Doctor Strange
Bounce as Green Lantern
GreenGrenade as Green Arrow
Blue Demon as Deathcry
Hexaflexagon as Black Widow
BlackSam3091 as Black Canary

And I think we had a Black Panther for a hot second but there's no evidence of a CS in the character tab.

Well, at a glance I see our roster has diminished. I believe I will be sticking around so long as @Master Bruce doesn't hate me too muh for my sporadic posting schedule. I just don't know if I want to keep my X-Force. I still have some ideas for Dick Grayson and think it would be interesting to play him as a teenager following Batman's trail around Gotham and getting into some shit.

I always feel like if it's a labour to make your posts, then that character ain't for you.

It didn't feel so much like a labor, as I had a somewhat set path I wanted to go with them. It was mainly having a lot of my time taken by school again. The most laborous part of my concept has ben writing a whole team and trying to make sure I give each member time in the spotlight rather than just being a name on the team roster.

The final Captain America post is coming tonight when I have time to finish formatting it, and I don't want to say I'm ending on my best... but it got me pretty jazzed, tbh.

It's tough to get the balance right.

I think it's best to approach it as if you're playing a game within a game, almost operating in your own little world, with each team member just being another part of that world's cast. If you bend over backwards trying to give everyone playing time each post, it can end up seeming a little contrived. I'd sooner spend a post or two focusing on one member, then a few on a different one, and so on.

Having a discussion with friends on Slack about ONE MORE DAY, and getting angry all over again. Might have to write a story about Gwen repeatedly kicking Mephisto in the balls

While One More Day was stupid and terrible, it never made me as blood-boiling angry as it does a lot of people. Sins Past, on the other hand.....

You know what’s even worse? They retconned literally all the Spider-Man stuff in ONE MORE DAY and left “Actually Gwen fucked Norman Osborn and had his babies” canon.

Oh, I know. That's why I honestly just pretend they stopped making Spider-Man comics about twenty years ago. Nothing good has come from that book in a long, long time.

I’ll stick up for the Superior storyline, and Mister Negative is a really good villain (especially in the game), but other than that I completely agree

Sins Past was an unofficial, fan comic as far as I'm concerned.
It does not and never will exist in canon.
What is not real cannot torment me.

Poking my head in since this is something I've been interested in for a while. So I read that the first 'season' is wrapping up and the second 'season' is going to open up soon. I remember the first part being fairly limited in what you could choose as a character, so my question is what kind of things will open up in the second part? Sidekicks? Different versions of villains? What kind of things will be up for grabs in the next phase?

@Byrd Man@Master Bruce@Morden Man Mentioning GMs just to try and make sure the post gets seen and answered. In the meantime probably just gonna read a bit to see what kind of things have been going on.

Also just a question on the supporting cast, do they have to be all 'real' characters? Like I remember thinking about a character once but then I realized I didn't know crap about any of the characters around that character so kinda got spooked out of trying. I felt like this part is the biggest 'obstacle' for me in making something.

Several of us have used original supporting characters. Primarily Byrd Man, whose cast is original by a large majority. Though he was also telling unique stories.

I'm not a GM so I can't and won't weigh in on your first question, but I will say that keep in mind it's only a three month time skip so don't expect there to be a lot of younger characters suddenly springing up to take on sidekick roles. Things are moving at a steady pace in this game, and that's one of several reasons I think it's succeeding as well as it has been.

In terms of making up characters, a lot of us have. I've had to make a lot of Iris' supporting cast off the top of my head rather than just using Barrys, not all of them have had an appearance yet but... they exist. @Byrd Man had an OC play a pretty important part to Constantines story.
