was a team effort. Please take time to note the end credits, go online and research the many artists who helped bring this to life. Send them your love and support. ❤️
Could not be more honored, and in disbelief. If you would’ve told 10-year-old Beau that the
#XMen97
show he created would be up for an Emmy, he would’ve laughed. Thank you
#Emmys
See you in September.
Firstly, I’m so grateful to have worked on
#XMen97
, collaborating with some amazingly talented folks. Creating this revival was a dream come true and the support fans have shown is so touching. However, I felt it pressing for me to speak up in the wake of leaving the show…
Good example of the Rule of Three. Earlier sequence had Kurt BAMF two times. We added a third. Helps balances rhythm in writing and filmmaking.
Spider-Man. Silver Samurai. Omega Red.
Summers battlefront. Mansion front. Sunspot/Jubilee front.
Like 3 acts. Feels complete.
I was likely subconsciously influenced by this when writing the
#xmen97
finale beat of Rogue punching Bastion. That’s not Superman hammering Zod. It’s Clark, a son furiously defending the woman who raised and protected him. The action is driven by emotion not plot.

Please remember,
#XMen97
wouldn’t exist, nor be what it is, without
@xmentas
@xmendirector
@dveese
. They had to chart uncharted waters, before X-Men was what it was today. There was no mutant zeitgeist. They had to create it. This show is a love letter and a debt paid to them.
“The truth will be revealed. After their Disney Plus disaster, Marvel wants to mislead with alleged contract breaches over tweets. It’s tragic it’s come to this but unsurprising. Stay tuned.”
As with all costume changes, this decision was rooted in story for me and the themes Season 2 will explore. Obviously, these suits have strong ties to Genosha and E is for Extinction.

1) Some director’s egos would bristle at being asked to recreate iconic panels from the comics. Not

and his team. We were literally already on the same page when we first met to discuss how to bring this script to life.

If you remember the OG series, Logan is actually complimenting Magneto when he does that deed. In a way, he understands why Magneto did what he did…but still has to do the deed.
Sorry, Scoersce,

. Everything, the aspirational shot design and music, the flight choreography, Clark going from sauntering with heavy burden to soaring and smiling, sell the hope and power of an outsider discovering he’s too big for his adopted home.

This actually isn’t all that surprising to me. Live action has always had a broader appeal by default. But I think shows like
#xmen97
, Invincible, Castlevania, and Blood of Zeus are doing their part to change this, which is super exciting.
This is what I love about X-Men. The parents watched the original
#XMen
series, and now watched
#XMen97
with their kids. So pumped! ❤️
(You’ll see lil’ Storm was ready for nap time)
Pretty amazing. One of my goals with the show was to show that animation can and should be treated as seriously as live action. To see
#xmen96
nominated with stellar live action shows like Shogun means a lot.
Congratulations to the cast and crew of Marvel Animation’s
#XMen97
on their two
#TCAAwards
nominations for Outstanding New Program and Outstanding Achievement in Family Programming!
Above is
#XMen
fan-art I posted on Instagram for Gay Pride in June. On June 13,
#Marvel
sent a letter notifying me that they’d stripped my Season 2 credits due to the post. Sadly, this is the latest in a troubling pattern I suffered through while on working on
#XMen97
and
#Blade
.
Pretty amazing to see the fruits of your brainchild

Have something very exciting come to you guys in about a week or two! Stay tuned!
“It's really sad to see that humanity is once again at each other's throats and I think that it's time for the X-Men to make a reappearance so it's perfect timing.”
