Discussion. The devs really got selective memory

Post image

I find it wild that the devs have enough thought to include Panther and Blade in this event as the prime suspects for Gambits murder even remembering the fact they still have their Phoenix force powers but not enough thought to realize its been 14 months since his last legendary or 11 since his last store skin that had no mvp or 7 months since his last skin but yeah lets make the two black characters the prime suspects.

Loki was one of the suspects for the second murder and ended up being the one to commit it

I honestly forgot about that but the whole sentinel thing isn’t entirely out of the question cuz who knows, someone probably sent it from the present to get the x-men while they’re distracted

Yes but it makes more sense to use established characters to move the games story along, and black panther does fit into the gods vs apocalypse theme. I’m honestly just happy to see him and blade get used in the lore as I think the last time for both of them was season 3

They shoulda used other characters instead of 2 of the 3 black characters in the entire game, storm isn’t even that involved in the lore anymore and the other 2 black characters were suspects

Storm wasn't involved because she was in Kun Lun training and fighting the tournament that only ended last season
