early last week, Marvel and DeMayo suddenly parted ways. His company email was deactivated and cast and crew were informed he was no longer on the project. DeMayo’s Instagram account, once a source for X-Men updates, was deleted. No reason for the firing was given.


Marvel had no comment. DeMayo’s representatives did not return calls for comment and emails to the showrunner yielded no response.


It was a surprising turn of events on the eve of the show’s March 20 debut.

Doesn't bode well for the quality of the show imo. Not that I had much faith in modern Disney anyway.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

This is the dude who said The Witcher writers mocked the source material. So uh... Not in agreement with Disney or...?

Has nothing to do with the show. He already made a second season

The rumor is it’s because he had a gay OF account.

 

[Kamina]

I mean, compared to the original X Men cartoon this is going to turn out a disgrace anyway.

he def looks like a gay porn star.

Tho, not sure who cares. It's really if he's good. I guess we'll see.

You expect me to believe Disney fired a gay?

Disney is a family company. An OnlyFans account is not what they want their viewers to know. Being gay had nothing to do with it

This is the 2024 version of Nintendo firing Maria Mint.

 

[RavageX]

I have already written the show off, they can do whatever they want as far as I'm concerned.

 

[bitbydeath]

They probably just watched it and realised it was rubbish.

 

[Little Mac]

Is he the reason all the X-Men 97 women look like dudes?

When I was a kid …

That left image is a red flag for that rumor of having an OF account.

 

[bitbydeath]

Why’s Morph look exactly like Voldermort? Is it now cannon that he’s a Harry Potter fan?

 

[clem84]

I read somewhere else that he apparently posted a dick pic on his OF account. If I had to guess, Disney was probably a little iffy with him having an OF account to begin with, but if they saw something on there too explicit, that might have motivated his firing.

[HoodWinked]

even when they suck they still win, Disney would have had to pay him a fortune that he'd willingly gag himself.

he's gay and black, he could easily gain the sympathy of the woke mob and tore Disney a new one.

Imagine trying to claim Disney is a family company in 2024 when they showed a lesbian kiss on screen during the "kids movie" Lightyear

Not all families have an issue with something as non-sexual as a kiss in a family film, especially since they‘ve been in Disney films since the beginning.

I mean, Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1996 had sexual harassment, a song about lust, and attempted baby murder and was rated G. Lightyear showed two women kissing and was rated PG. I feel the former is the actually baffling decision in terms of rating, and also I do not sympathize with a parent who feels the need to hide harmless things from their child but is also too lazy to know how movie ratings work. Parental Guidance Suggested. I don’t know how you make it any more clear than that.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

And here I was thinking it was the gay OF that got him the job at Disney.

 

[GeekyDad]

/looks up meaning of "showrunner"

 

[Fake]

You can try, but will never beat the original X-men series

Just give up.

Reddit is already attacking Disney for firing him and thinks they should’ve celebrated him having an OF.

People have done more digging and he apparentky had it for a while but as soon as he showed his dick Disney fired him. Guess they didn’t have a problem with it until he went explicit.

 

[mitch1971]

He should of been a bit more subtle with his dick pics.

 

[wipeout364]

He was in breach of contract for getting two separate paychecks from Disney. They were paying his salary then paying him again with Disney having to subscribe to his Only Fans.

There’s a difference between stuff that gets posted on social media and the real world.

i am with reddit on this one its a bad look.

I wont forgive him for flattening Rogue's ass

Bullshit. Same reason Gunn was fired, although different circumstances. Gunn was fired because Disney was in the middle of the massive Fox merger and the last thing they wanted was 24/7 cable news to be dedicating hours of prime time rage bait to 10 year old tweets some dickwad dug up because he didn't like Gunn. Same situation here, Disney's about to release a new X-Men cartoon and they don't want the 24/7 cable news to be highlighting the showrunner who produces his own gay porn on the side.

 

[tkscz]

He is not. He wanted the show to be based as close to the original show as possible. He left the Witcher series because they kept ignoring the book. They look like dudes because that's the kind of artist Disney hires.
