#cube queen

I’ll be the first one to say, yeah, I liked the older antagonists more. I liked the concept of the Zero point too, and Jones was a good protagonist over the story as well. I’ll also say, I don’t 100% jive with this new story. But I think that it’s fair to say that doesn’t make it bad right?

Nothing has been perfect, Cube Queen and Geno were very nothing as antagonists. There was very little known about them and their motives, other than “TAKE OVER REALITY ZERO”; Cube Queen was different in the way that she wanted to destroy everything at least. They both have just as much development (if not just a little more) than say The Herald or Megalo Don. The difference here is that Geno and CQ were built up a little bit over the course of at least 1 season.

Geno was known to be the mysterious leader of the I.O. for a while, that added mystery and a certain set of depth, expectation, and want to discover this character. Cube Queen was a threat that was only known as a golden cube aboard the UFO, something the island had barely won a war against the season prior to her introduction. We had seen she was capable of activating these cubes, one of which was a huge threat to the island alone. When she was released she sent droves of monsters, built her own temple-like POI, and almost destroyed the island in The End Chapter 2 Edition™️.

They had plot hooks, that’s what I’m trying to say. So did the Herald, and the Nothing. But…that’s just not something we’re seeing with this chapter, or the last. Stellan? Gone. Kado Thorne? Dead in a side quest. The Society? Brought down in one season. Valeria? Not even the game will tell us where she went. The gods? Fled. Megalo Don???? Who knows. The Wanderer was really the only one who seemed he might bring some plot hook like the former two. But now that it’s just…Dr. Doom? There’s nothing to hook people anymore, no mystery, no intrigue…

That’s what we need really, we don’t necessarily need the old plot back. We need intrigue, plot hooks for more than a season, and characters (protag and antag) that are allowed to develop and grow and be compelling. I will say that I really enjoy what they’ve done with hope actually, she’s truly become her own character and I appreciate that!

Your Cube Queen have been taken by water, so behold your new Cube Queen, Drift! 🟪👑

We actually don’t know why he took this position.

All he told me that he just wanted to slay this outfit. 💅
