Giving yourself a physical disability in a role-playing game does sound like something Picard would do.
I rather liked the oracle class. You could start blind, but by level 10 you have would magical sight.
“He is a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will”
Lmfao I’m dying 🤣
What if Star Trek: The Next Generation was just a mass hallucination manipulating the minds of millions of people by Professor X?
I love Picard and TNG, but loved the X-men and Xavier long long before I ever watched Trek
And there is a official crossover that occurred long before Sir Patrick Stewart starred in the movies.
Sir Patrick was destined to play Xavier the moment that character was first drawn, McAvoy did a great job IMO but Stewart in the first X-Men movie was like watching my favorite cartoon become real life for me.
Before Picard season 1 was in production, McAvoy (not sure if he was serious) said he’d like to play a young Jean-Luc.
Fuck it let him give it a shot, he’s talented and charismatic enough to pull it off
But what age range would this be? Can’t be a child. We already got that.
Makes sense, we already know they’re in the same universe:
See i thought we agreed all media including other star trek shows are just Riker in the Holodeck. He is always just off camera. Also anytime you’re in the same area as Jonathan Franks there is a 50% chance. Your life is just another Holodeck program of William Riker.
And Jonathan Frakes is a director! He’s not even hiding it all that well!
This is now my head canon
So he likes to fantasize about Kamala as his surrogate daughter?
EDIT: In case you forgot or were unaware, Famke Janssen played Kamala in “The Perfect Mate” as well as Jean Grey in the original X-Men trilogy.
Is standing Picard a doll? Sorry, Action figure
Picard is less of an action figure and more of a diplomat figure.
This would explain why the 20th Century Fox X-Men movies never quite matched the comics or cartoons. For example, Picard couldn’t remember the uniform colors, so he just riffed on a variations of uniforms he knew.
Finally, something I have in common with Picard
Maybe he met Melora and was like “I want to try out some sweet wheels!!!”
That would be a good excuse for Masterminds as well.
