X-Men '97: The Animated Series

That's a real shame as the dude seemed to be a real fan and had an understanding of the franchise... unlike all these other so-called rage-bait "fans" who wish the show to fail. I wonder if Disney will get the original show runners as a replacement since they were already consultants for this.

That's actually a neat idea, or at least acting in this capacity temporarily if they don't want the full responsibility. While I wouldn't mind another new show-producer, the Lewalds have already proven themselves as understanding the characters.

It can't be about his social media presence because he's been posting like that for years. They wouldn't have fired him two weeks before the premiere for that reason. (Also, I'm not enjoying people equating what he was doing with more x-rated type stuff. As far as I know, his stuff was at most PG-13).

It also implies it's not about creative differences because the first season is already in the can. They would have let him go after the premiere if that were the case.

Something must have happened.

Semi-related, but I appreciate that when I Google Beau DeMayo, I get a bunch of shirtless pictures. Instead of spending 14 pages arguing about Morph, we could have spent that time talking about shirtless men.

Jean Grey says hi lol

Ehhhh, Disney has a history of not not keeping tabs on the social media of their creators. Rember when James Gunn got fired for those ancient pedo jokes on his twitter account?

Well... outside of one exception in that case.

I'm hopeful they are aware they leaned too hard into the damsel in distress trope for Jean.

That was old skeletons coming out. DeMayo has been actively and un-apologetically posting for years. There's no way they didn't know. Since he deactivated his accounts, that seems more like something happened and he's gone silent. If he was fired for his posts, he would've probably been vocal about it. Or at least not gone into hiding.

They captured Jean's compassionate side correctly and the Phoenix Saga was lifted straight from the pages. If it's about her uselessness in battle, well, Jean wasn't the only who was nerfed. Everybody overlooks Wolverine uselessness because it's Wolverine and he had great one-liners.

anyway, here's a Storm promo that's finally not the same one re-purposed over and over again lol

With this show being rated TV-14, I'm expecting to hear a swear word or 2. If I was a betting man, my money would be on Jubilee to be the first to let one go... her being a SoCal teen in the 90s and all. Her or Beast.

She's also got a fiery temper too.

How have I never noticed that 90's Sinister wears ankle booties over his thigh-highs, like some 80's goth kid?

Whoever was the first writer to take Sinister and make him a cape and fashion enthusiast was a genius lol

Yup. I think after the Phoenix Saga, Jean started to come into her own, but at that point the show was pretty much on the verge of ending. I believe she also beat the Shadow King in an episode when Xavier was camotose.
