Former showrunner Beau DeMayo discusses the emotional impact of a shocking attack on Genosha and the deaths of Magneto and Gambit in X-Men '97 Season 1 Episode 5.
The Big Picture X-Men ‘97’s fifth episode of the season surprised audiences with a devastating tragedy. The episode was emotionally fraught, and now former showrunner Beau DeMayo has taken to social media to unpack the devastating impact of these events. DeMayo pioneered the first season of the animated series before being let go ahead of the premiere. The reason for the writer’s departure is still largely a mystery, and he did not address the circumstances.
“Yes, it looked like Gambit's story was going a specific direction. The crop top was chosen to make you love him. Him pulling off his shirt was intentional. There's a reason he told Rogue any fool would suffer her hand in a dance, even if it ended up not being him suffering. But if events like 9/11, Tulsa, Charlottesville, or Pulse Nightclub teach us anything, it's that too many stories are often cut far too short. I partied at Pulse. It was my club.
'X-Men' Once Again Is the Product of Its Time For many, watching X-Men is a safe space. Viewing an animated cartoon from the ‘90s can shield fans from the harsh realities of the world. But if there is one Marvel property that has always responded to the times that it is in, that would be X-Men. Initially created as a conversation about racism, X-Men has the duty to stay updated as an allegory for marginalization.
Magneto’s story has always been about rage against the injustice of the world. But if the episode proves anything, it’s that unity is more necessary now than ever. DeMayo may be gone from the project, but his fingerprints remain on the first season. His passion and perspective were needed for the series to keep the story updated.
