Marvel recently ended the first season of their hit animated series X-Men ’97, releasing its tenth episode just yesterday. This nostalgic show has been a social media sensation, sparking lively discussions and debates among fans.
Creator Beau DeMayo has also kept the buzz alive by dropping intriguing tidbits and updates. Following the enthusiastic reception of the season finale, DeMayo returned to X (formerly known as Twitter) to playfully comment on Wolverine and Morph’s relationship, a topic that has intrigued fans.
DeMayo recently shared a picture featuring Wolverine and Morph, with a caption suggesting they are “very good friends.” The image showed Morph with a hand on Wolverine’s shoulder, hinting at their evolving friendship, which has been a subject of debate in X-Men ’97.
Episode 3 of the series hinted at a potential romance between the two, adding a new dimension to their dynamic. Although the portrayal of Morph as a nonbinary character initially faced criticism, fans appreciated the deepening bond between the two mutants.
X-Men ’97 has been a refreshing departure from traditional X-Men animated storylines, focusing more on character relationships.
Despite their limited on-screen time together, the genuine connection between Wolverine and Morph has resonated deeply with viewers. Before its release, the series garnered attention when Beau DeMayo was unexpectedly fired from Marvel Studios, leaving fans puzzled.
The reason for his termination remains unclear, and neither DeMayo nor Marvel Studios has addressed the issue. However, this hasn’t stopped DeMayo from engaging with fans and promoting X-Men ’97 through social media.
