I wish he’d shut up already. He was a DEI hire who ruined one of the greatest cartoons ever made with alphabet propaganda. I don’t care what his plans were or how Marvel supposedly mistreated him. He deserves irrelevance.
Completely agree.
But he’ll never shut up. How else will he remain relevant?
Not to mention, there are still too many people blowing smoke up his ass pretending X-Men ‘97 was anything special.
The love for 97 was just memberberry nostalgia and some commentators even ignored the woke propaganda. At least it was a good litmus test on who is worth listening to.
Disney are, once again, going, “Put a (fugly) chick in it, make it gay and lame”.
I’d like to hold the demayo, please.
