Quote: I'm glad you were able to pick up on the different modus operandi. One of the things that got me thinking like that has been the "reimagining" of certain well-established villains like Lex Luthor and Victor von Doom in rebooted comics continuities or for movie versions, where I felt that the "improved new" versions lacked the timbre and authority of the earlier ones. It seemed like something worthy of parody in the Parodyverse.Just so long as it's not another New Lair Legion. We tried that already. Quote: I suspect Dr Harper didn't see it as misfortune, just as an unparalleled research opportunity. Another aspect of Lara's previous adventures folds into the wider plot as this story develops.That would annoy Lara, too. Quote: It's also worth noting that this and the two subsequent chapters of Untold Tales follow on directly from the place in continuity the LL were at when the Untold Tales series left off, except for obvious alterations that are explained in-plot. I've tried hard to ignore foreknowledge of stories that were plainly set after this moment.Speaking of which, I have to dust off a story I was going to post back in 2013 before things went slow, and I ditched it mid-plot. It has a really good start, doesn't really relate to this Untold Tales. I might post it in pieces so I can drop it if it doesn't work. Quote: Quote: And I had a stray thought about what happens to the Psychic Samurai when someone messes with continuity like that. Somewhere, she has a massive migraine as her senses try and keep up with the changes.Quote: For that matter, as we have seen, the cast of World Class get a whole new soft reboot.Wrong Asian with a sword, that's Keiko. Chiaki Bushido is the Psychic Samurai. Though yes, World Class *also* got a new soft reboot. It's being redone in a semi-novel format. I'm tempted to also post a piece of the semi-novel format "Traders", which is an entirely new story with some familiar names in it. Quote: Given that the villain responsible has just sucked half of Liu Xi's team into a death trap it's probably fair to assume there will be some development on the issue soon.At some point she's going to lose her temper with all of these claims on her soul. Someone with access to the elemental magic and void isn't good for pissing off. Quote: Back when I assembled that particular line up of Lair Legion I made sure that each had member one or two plotlines specific to them. What I'm doing with this short series is crashing quite a few subplots together to get closure for them.I can probably help by reminding you where everyone was parked at the time: - Faite was last a teenager going to a private boarding school to hide there from the Hooded Hood. She didn't specify which one. - Lara Night disappeared and went home shortly after the warden at the time of the Safe tried to kill her and imprison her for the killing of Doorman while he was trying to escape. She did it out of sacrifice so the Lair Legion would have no reason to fight him anymore. - Nena and Anna are assumed to be still in the Lair Mansion somewhere. - Shen Rae is assumed to have gone home. She's also in "Traders" mentioned above, but somewhat different. - Chiaki Bushido (Psychic Samurai) is, according to the unfinished story, dealing with the fallout of Antony Vendredi driving out Akiko Masamune and forcing her to flee back to Japan. | |||||||
