X-Men ’97 Showrunner states that Kevin Feige “was affected” the success of the animated series

The creative clash behind Marvel X-Men ’97 I just had much more disordered. According to the former showrunner Beau Demayo, X-Men ’97 it may have been a success with the fans, but it was also a sore point for Kevin FeigeThe architect of the Marvel film universe.

In a passionate and candid series of posts on social media, Demayo did not hold back while detailed why he believes that MCU is struggling creatively and how his animated project has aroused resentment on top of Marvel Studios.

Despite being fired by Marvel in front of X-Men ’97The premiere, with the study that cites an “ECCIO” behavior and that has marked all the links following an internal investigation, Demayo insists that his criticisms derive from a true creative frustration, not spite.

“Remember, I was told by a Marvel manager last year that Kevin was affected by my work and the show because fans like you were using it as a referendum on how Kevin’s MCU is failing.”

According to Demayo, Feige and its narrow circle (indicated as “the Parliament”) did not appreciate how much X-Men ’97 Rissed with fans, especially because he was outside their control.

“I was told in a phone call after the EP 5 in preview. I asked the manager if Kevin was happy, because I still wanted to help the study stupidly. There was a long pause, and then I was told that it would be” happier “if the fans and the public were not using it as a referendum as a referendum as a referendum had to do to fix himself.

“What worsens, I think Kevin has nothing to do with #Xmen97 and could not fail to take the merit. Even internally, before the show transmitted, the Marvel employees were reaching me asking how I was able to do a show so well, given where the study was found, and the best thing that the study had done. With their praise I had noticed more and more than I was able to become a threat and remained for the study.

Demayo said that Feige was annoyed by the fact that people kept the animated as an example of what MCU should be, a franchise that takes Canon seriously and focuses on the narration led by the character.

“Kevin is introducing new concepts such as Adamantium and Ms Ms Marvel while simultaneously recycles the old fox characters before telling us that they will restart everything? How, what is the F*CK?”

Demayo also claims that Marvel Leadership has minimized the success of the series and has actively tried to cancel his contributions.

“Instead of looking at what my team and I have done and learning to replicate our attention on canonical work and on the deep character, they smeared me, tactically threatened the crew not to speak while they kept abusing them and did everything to behave like #XMEN97 was not a success.”

Indicated the absence of Feige and Marvel Exec Louis d’Esposito al X-Men ’97 Premiere as another example of the lack of support of the study.

“They did not show up to thank the fans. They did not show up to thank @xmentas, The Lewalds and Houston or the cast of Og Voice, as they built that foundation in the 90s of the MCU. No, we were only a small cartoon that was not sexy enough or taken seriously enough to justify that great Kevin Feige to participate.”

Despite the personal disputes surrounding the exit of Demayo, which includes disturbing accusations of inappropriate behavior, this cannot be denied X-Men ’97 He struck a nerve with long -date Marvel fans in a recently live MCU projects. Also Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy AND Ryan Reynolds they recognized the impact of the show.

“I’m sorry, that was #XMEN97, and even Ryan Reynolds recognized him. Unfortunately, Kevin Fiege and his stovers hated that what I created with my team was receiving all the praise.”

Demayo concluded his comment with a Marvel request to return to the narration rooted in comics and characters, not just cameo of celebrities and hype at the box office.

“There is no mention of the heroes or of the real characters or history, because Kevin and his brood are only hitting the stars at this point hoping that he will earn dollars at the box office.”

It is not yet clear how Marvel Studios intends to restart X-Men for MCU. With X-Men ’97 Presented to return for season 2, even if without Demayo, the pressure is underway for Feige and the company to deliver something that meets the expectations of the fans.

Until then, the inheritance oF X-Men ’97 It is now tangled in the drama behind the scenes and questions about the direction of Marvel. Demayo could be out of the painting, but his criticisms echo through the fandom, challenging the study to prove that it has not been lost.
