>In my version of Season 2, E-Day leads to mutant task forces like the X-Men being banned in the U.S. and so Xavier — eager to find the next step in his dream as rival groups X-Force and X-Factor spring up while the X-Men are scattered through time — founds the X-Corp, building the tower from the comics on the ruins of Genosha as a challenge to Valerie Cooper and the U.N. since the X-Force would now operate outside of U.N. jurisdiction.

>To me, Frank Quietly’s designs felt more militant and that’s something I intended to explore in Season 2 as Xavier begins to militarize his dream, moving them away from being heroes, with the finally reveal being in the S2 finale (which has been cut) that it was Onslaught slowly gaining control of Xavier that made him defy the U.N., start the X-Corp, and militarize his team.

>When the X-Men realize this, and Onslaught reveals himself at the end of Episode 9, they don their classic 90s costumes again and return to being heroes as they lead the Avengers, X-Factor, and X-Force against Onslaught as he steals Ship from Apocalypse and unleashes it on Washington D.C. during Graydon Creed’s inauguration.

DeMayo is quite the asshole. Like a gayer, less humorous version of Tariq Nasheed.

If this is VS Onslaught, shouldn't the Fantastic Four also be there?

To be fair, using those costumes as a signifier of the X-Men going wrong, and going back to their 90s costumes when they come to their senses, and working alongside other heroes to fight the threat of mutant militancy is brilliantly meta, it's like an attack on everything that's gone wrong with X-Men comics. For a gayman he may actually be based.

so:
If he was
(a) white,
(b) straight, and
(c) his daughter committed suicide,
would a cult full of sub-continentals be REEING morning, noon and night,
wanting to force the House of Mouse to RESTORE the DeMayo 'verse?

I think it would be even louder because of places like /co/. If it was same thing and was received the same way by the fandom as 97 did yes and you’d be a fool to deny this. X-men fans are retarded when you cater to them

Well, it's not getting made, so you're half way to getting what you want. But what do you think the chances are that the season 2 we'll get will actually be good?

A big team up to fight Onslaught might've been good, though.

There already is a moderately vocal DeMayo following.

Everybody has been expecting Onslaught sooner or later if the series gets enough seasons for it.

It's not very fair to assume you can't have meta commentary and solid storytelling.

This is absolutely still happening at least in broad strokes. They're using the quitely suits and there's no ways they're not going back to either the 90s costumes or to the 2000s asotnishing costumes
>>149323446
Tbh THIS is still happening. And every adpatation that's set in an era takes stuff from later eras now.

Eh. X-Men 97 was still too edgy for me.

It's not so much those things and more that Whedon dropped the ball extremely hard on Justice League and DeMayo was forced out under guise of alleged harassment or some kind of scandal.

If the next season of X-Men 97 is as good or better than the first season, then I assume it'll just get lightly debated whether DeMayo was what made the first season work.

But if the second season is a vast drop down in quality, like Whedon Justice League bad, or even as bad as 2010s Disney Marvel cartoons, then you're going to see a lot of Restore the DeMayoVerse. Doubly moreso if it turns out the accusations against him were false.

DeMayo sent his ugly nudes around, it's not just "alleged" that man is a schizo freak, also I'm pretty sure DeMayo still wrote parts of S2 that will be airing and only S3 onwards is completely new territory
