New take on 90s X-Men cartoon changes Morph to non-binary
...according to a new article from Empire Magazine, Disney’s progressive messaging has managed to taint yet another fan-favorite property. That property is none other than “X-Men ’97” the reboot of the incredibly popular 1990’s cartoon “X-Men: The Animated Series.”It's far from a shock at this point. Now, another product from a bygone era has been tarnished with an unworthy successor, and the comics, lest we forget, have long been tainted too by what followed after, since the turn of the century. So it's not just Disney animation proper that's become a drainpipe for this illogical propaganda pandering, but also Marvel animation. We've certainly come a long way from the time when the earliest Marvel cartoons were produced, and again, the comics too.
An upcoming issue of Empire Magazine shows that the character of Morph, previously referred to as male in the original series (and in the comic book source material), will be “nonbinary” in Disney’s revival. [...]
This news was previously confirmed by “X-Men ’97” showrunner Beau DeMayo, who referred to the character using “they/them” pronouns in a clip now circulating on social media.
“Morph decided to show a little bit of a different side to themselves this season,” DeMayo said in the clip.
This is one Marvel cartoon adaptation purists should definitely switch off their sets over, rather than give it any satisfying Neilsen ratings.
