Going through this thread and all I can focus on now at this point is…. I really don’t care about the “Who’s right” or “ Who’s wrong” about the now incredibly STUPID political/social/whatever the heck it is divide.
What I care about is that another show that was BELOVED is potentially tainted by it. The comic shop, comic forums, and the comic community use to be a place where fans could escape that crap. Everything is just so divided now.
This show was the EASIEST slam dunk. You literally just had to follow the model before, give positive neutral press, and air the thing. The money literally would have fell from the sky. Now we have one side assuming that a failure will occur because of “X” and the other side claiming it will have no merit because of “Y” .
Gwad is it really so difficult to put out stories of people with fantastic gifts , outlandish costume, and who try every day to be better themselves and thereby showing others that they can do the same? That GOOD can overcome EVIL, the end. The concept is not hard to understand, what the heck is the problem. Seriously.

YES Capes. YES Masks. YES Secret Identities.
Gotta love Nate trying to slide into Ororo’s DMs way back then.
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
First off, I have been very absent here over the last few years due to my lack of interest in the current line of comics...BUT, I have really been anticipating X-Men '97!
I have not been able to read through and catch up on everything, but it seems the two big controversies are (1) Morph being non-binary and (2) Beau DeMayo being fired?
(1) I guess I do not understand the issue? A shapeshifter being non-binary doesn't seem out of the question at all. To each their own I guess, but I think it's an acceptable and fitting change for 2024. Inclusion is a great thing folks!
(2) Who? HA...I obviously read up on him now, and want to know the dirt, but I don't think this will negatively impact the show.
And here I am in my little corner griping about Rogue's lackluster locks
Regardless, I am really looking forward to next week. I hope everyone enjoys!
The argument shouldn’t be happening the first place. This show ,culturally, was/should have been neutral ground.
To add if the people arguing with the “bigots” are “teeing up” a confrontation in the first place then YES they are both bad. Sorry but instigation is a real and reacquiring thing that happens with these things. I’m so over it.
