Paradox Force: The End...or is it? (Part 2)

(Due to this being a long post, I have to trim and split this documentary.)

 

 

Paradox Grey/Grey Police (flickr.com/photos/128407574@N08/sets/72157664323890298): Another spin-off after PF’s second season, where one of the main characters, Grey Cop, assembles his own team of heroes following the fallout in the main series. It would have been more noir-ish and emotionally driven with increased action beats.

 

Blazefire (flickr.com/photos/128407574@N08/sets/72157692560197855) and Grey Cop (flickr.com/photos/128407574@N08/sets/72157661369417428): The only two standalone stories that spun out of of the main universe. Grey Cop was very self contained, and is probably the only successful one to make out of it alive, even though I could have gave him sequels. Blazefire was pretty cool as well, as a prequel series, the next volume would take him to higher points, and much darker because the hero himself would go on revenge when he couldn’t save the death of some children and civilians in his neighbourhood in a incident. I also planned for a computerised villain, Hephaestus, to appear, but it didn’t work.

 

 

And the crossover. It never happened, because I’ve saved too much of the best for last. And it would have taken place after every series where all the heroes came together to fight against a threat, established by Paradox Force’s first season. Nuff said.

 

But wait, is it really dead? I guess it is. There is still hope for the dead project. While I may have lost track of the lore, concepts, it was never gone, as people still read that stuff to this date. The contingency plan? Shared universe. While Paladin is a spiritual successor, Paradox still remains in my heart as a first project when I joined Flickr. In order to do that, I should retcon stuff out in order to balance continuity. Thankfully the whole series was set a century ago, so there’s a lot to catch up.

 

By reorganising means a lot of work. While I love these characters, I won’t be using them in the next year or so, depending on how my direction takes me. The casual references can be slipped in because all the heroes in the current one know who they are while the world forgets. Breaking it down, they were public in the 22nd century while they’re left forgotten more than a 100 years later. It creates the link and mysteries which is possible.

 

While things can be ridiculous and nonsensical, I don’t support the theories of time travel or alternate realities like Endgame or what DC does; it’s something of a emergency panic button that I’ll use it when I need it or I screwed up. There’s a few ideas on my book that will keep it realistic and address what’s been going on with these guys—which I will share later.

 

Also, OCs coming too! You know I’ll never stop making them even then being lesser this year.
