The Four Color Media Monitor

The Hollywood Reporter informed that Beau deMayo, the woke writer who changed Morph to "non-binary" in X-Men 97, has been booted off the production and out of Marvel studios:

DeMayo, a Marvel regular who previously wrote on live-action series Moon Knight as well as early drafts of company’s delayed-but-still-upcoming vampire thriller Blade, had completed writing duties on season two of X-Men ’97, was lining up press, and making plans to attend the show’s Hollywood premiere on March 13. He was even discussing loose ideas for a third season with members of his team.

But 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 announced DeMayo’s hiring in November 2021. The move was met with some level of excitement, as the scribe brought his identity as a gay Black man to the project, and made it a point in talking to the press about how growing up as the adopted son to white parents with a Korean sister in the South made the X-Men characters — and their struggles for acceptance by society — feel personal to him.

His silence on social media has been acute as he was a prolific poster, sharing X-Men tidbits as well as shirtless pictures of himself at the gym. For a time he also ran a non-explicit Only Fans account, all of which inspired the LGBTQ publication Out to declare him “the Sexy, Gay Marvel Writer & Showrunner to Know.”

But at times social media had proven a challenge while making the series. In May 2023, DeMayo announced he would be deleting his Twitter account, after he was attacked by users accusing X-Men ’97 of whitewashing the character Sunspot with the casting of Brazilian actor Gui Agustini in the role.

Let me guess. Being Latin American isn't enough for these SJWs, right? If the actor is question is entirely white and no Indian ancestry, he's illegitimate, no matter his birthplace. In any case, this deMayo was clearly a boilerplate leftist who exploited these programs for shoving his agenda onto established productions instead of creating his own. I have no idea what led to this dismissal, and but he's no loss to the industry with that kind of isolationist viewpoint, and he should be ashamed of himself for forcing his woke ideologies upon the character of Morph, regardless of whether the character's a goodie or baddie. Variety followed up on the news, and says:

DeMayo had completed work on Seasons 1 and 2 of “X-Men ’97” ahead of his exit. He will not attend the March 13 Hollywood premiere for the show. His Instagram account, on which he had been previewing artwork and answering fan questions about “X-Men ’97,” has also been deleted.

He wrote and produced “X-Men ’97,” which is a continuation of the popular “X-Men: The Animated Series” that aired on Fox Kids in the ’90s. It is unclear why DeMayo was fired from “X-Men ’97” so close to the premiere, but he will no longer promote the show or be involved with future seasons.

DeMayo also wrote on the fellow Marvel and Disney+ series “Moon Knight,” starring Oscar Isaac, and the upcoming feature film “Blade,” starring Mahershala Ali. His other credits include “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” Netflix’s live-action “The Witcher” starring Henry Cavill, the animated film “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf” and two animated “League of Legends” shorts, “Absolution” and “Before Dawn.”

Cavill was said to have quit the Witcher series because the producers didn't seem to care about the source material, and the Moon Knight show was pretentious too. And it wouldn't be surprising if deMayo put his woke ideologies into more places than one. So if he quits Hollywood, it won't be a shame at all, though Tinseltown itself still clearly remains a most unpleasant place to be with all the nasty leftism going around there.
