I could see Ciri as the protagonist, it also wouldn't surprise me if they take a note from Cyberpunk 2077 and allow players to create their own character.

I might have to check that series out. Thank you.

It actually reminds me a bit of Babylon Berlin, a German noir show which was based off the Gereon Rath series by Volker Kutscher.

Yeah I'm reading through the Claremont run for the first time and I can't think of an issue where he hasn't been depicted with a darker skin tone. That coupled with the fact his African-Brazillian heritage is referenced on numerous occasions leads me to seriously question the motivation for subsequent creatives (including Beau) to erase that aspect of Sunspot's character.

He was amazing in The Wire and Treme. Looking forward to seeing his take on a character like Perry White.

Too soon: Counterpart. A truly marvelous science fiction thriller that explored the concept of a parallel universe and starred J. K. Simmons. I'm still fuming that Starz cancelled it after two seasons. It's not even available to stream anymore...

I've never seen it before so I can't personally say how competent she is in the role, but Ashly Burch is a cast member on Mythic Quest, a live action sitcom on Apple

That's a really tough question that can change based on the writer or my own whims!

Right now I would have to say Mirage: There's something I love about a character who starts out as an insecure outcast that's angsty, distrusting, and even resentful to those around her, only to grow into a strong and compassionate leader who's always looking out for her team.

As a sociology major who is also a fan of the humanities, I totally agree with you. While I've always been much more of a lurker than a regular poster--even while I was on Reddit--it still seems like there isn't a lot of content here that I feel I can really contribute to or engage with. The most prevalent posts all seem to be tech related or are just doom and gloom stories. It makes this place feel cold and bleak.

And yeah, the casual and even blatant misogyny from some of the users is appalling (I still remember that post about the career fair for women months back that got overrun with angry men).

They were a year apart. the mohawk and costume change debuted first in #173 (1983) and Storm lost her powers in #185 (1984).

Nah. It's more of a general allegory encompassing all forms of minority groups and social outcasts. Different writers and editors choose which ones to highlight. For example, while the original Lee, Kirby 60s run--and Chris Claremont during the 70s--might have emphasized disabilities, through numerous stories like Days of Future Past, God Loves Man Kills, and New Mutants #45, Claremont during the 80s prioritized race and sexual orientation.

Thanks for the reminder to delete my Instagram account. Though I've never posted anything there, I've used it to follow some people.

Is it too much to hope that all of Meta crashes and burns? It's infuriating seeing Meta, and corporations like them, harvest all of our information...
