Since you can't read well, I've posted what I stated in a previous post. X-Men has always been a story for outcasts. I've been a fan since the 90s, so you can put that little ignorant comment of yours under that silly hat you have on in your creepy icon. Your argument is a straw man argument: you incorrectly assume that just because X-Men is a fantasy, nobody should care about writers infusing modern day terminology like "nonbinary" into it. That's just the silliest, most illogical, weakest, straw man argument I've ever read. And it's rampant on message boards and social media; you're not the only one. On the same note, the people like yourself with weak arguments are so quick to call people like me who don't agree with your warped narrative as "bigotry." If writing logically and discussing opinions on one of my favorite properties ever is being a bigot, then okay, cool insult dude. I'm alright with it. It's not anger, it's logic.

I could really care less about Morph, which you'd know if you read my previous post. I think it's clear from my replies that I'm simply responding to you in the same fashion you responded to me. Personal attacks when you know nothing of me, and I don't know you. We are judging from behind computers. Are we both being childish? Maybe. So let's keep to the established topic which was keeping in historical accuracy with the terminology of 1997. X-Men TAS is a continued chronology in an already established universe. Nobody said nonbinary people didn't exist in 1997, but they surely were not a part of the narrative in X-Men the Animated Series.

Lastly, nobody answered your "Little Mermaid" quip because that is not the same at all and you know it. That's also a straw man argument, by the way. You have no leg to stand on.

😳😧

Oh boy…

This is shocking.

8 days before its 2-episode series premiere on #DisneyPlus, Marvel Studios has fired the creator of #XMen97, Beau DeMayo: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv ... 235850423/.

No reason yet as to why. But he apparently was not fired for creative differences. So he must’ve done something bad, like Jonathan Majors and Victoria Alonso, and they didn’t want any of his baggage anymore.

We’ll find out as more details come out. But it looks like a dick pic on his Only Fans was the reason for his firing: https://x.com/blindwanda/status/1767630 ... 21734?s=46.

I really liked the first two episodes, definitely feels more "grown up" tonally and in writing than the original show was. Better characterization, better dialogue, I'd dare say even better animation or maybe just more consistent than the old show's. It also appears they're aiming for a more serialized storytelling this time. Can't wait to see where the show goes from here.

One thing I didn't like is how they all act like Professor X is dead when they all witnessed him being taken to Shi'ar to heal. Death certificate and all... Maybe they just believe he's dead after a year of no contact.

Also, if X-Men '97 does well in streaming, here's hoping it inspires WB/DC to revive DCAU as well 🤞 And maybe even helps kick off a Gargoyles revival too 🤞🤞

Three episodes in and X-Men 97 is everything I hoped it'd be. There's well-written story and dialogue, and exciting action sequences. The X-Men are using their powers in new, creative, and resourceful ways; often working together. My favorite will always be Beast, and although he hasn't had much development yet, I know that will come, and I await my Beast-centered episodes. So far, the show has focused mostly on Cyclops, Jean, Storm, & Magneto, while planting story seeds for Gambit, Morph, and Rogue. Can't wait for episode 4.

And Wolverine too. Don’t forget him.
