In a candid revelation, Beau DeMayo, the embattled creator of "X-Men ‘97," has opened up about the latest episode, "Remember It," drawing inspiration from real-world tragedies like Pulse Nightclub. The episode, a pivotal moment in the series, saw Magneto declared leader of Genosha, only to face a tragic attack by a Wild Sentinel resulting in the deaths of prominent characters like Madelyne Prior and Gambit, and Magneto himself, who sacrificed to protect others. DeMayo disclosed that Episode 5 was central to his initial pitch to Marvel, aiming to reflect the evolution of viewers who grew up with the original series in the '90s. He highlighted how events like 9/11 and Pulse Nightclub reshaped perceptions of safety and identity, drawing parallels between Genosha as a safe space and Pulse Nightclub. Reflecting on personal experiences, DeMayo emphasized the resilience of communities impacted by tragedies and hinted at the X-Men grappling with newfound realities in an uncertain world. The upcoming episodes promise to explore themes of justice and healing in the aftermath of such profound events. Despite his dismissal from Marvel, DeMayo's insights offer a deeper understanding of the creative process behind "X-Men ‘97." The new episode premiered on Disney today. #Queer Up Entertainment
