Beau DeMayo Gives Final “Homework” to Fans Ahead of ‘X-Men ’97’ Season 1 Finale

Following a series of letdowns in 2023, Marvel Studios was desperate for a victory to rekindle trust in the brand.

Then came ‘X-Men ’97’, a resurgence of the cherished ‘X-Men: The Animated Series’. Fans were pleasantly taken aback by the show’s adeptness in paying homage to the original while infusing it with new and modern elements

Even after being dismissed from the studio mere days before the season 1 premiere, Beau DeMayo persistently engaged with the show’s fans, offering insights to fans as they navigated through some of the franchise’s most heart-wrenching moments.

DeMayo consistently suggested accompanying comic readings to deepen viewers’ grasp of episode contexts, along with revisiting episodes of the original ‘X-Men: The Animated Series.’

Now, with the finale looming just 2 days away, DeMayo has returned to social media to issue one last directive to fans as they brace themselves for the conclusion.

Beau suggested that fans tune in to the episode ‘The Final Decision,’ serving as the season 1 finale of the original series, which aired on March 27th, 1993.

In this pivotal episode, the X-Men join forces with their former adversary Magneto to thwart Master Mold’s nefarious scheme of replacing Senator Kelly’s brain with a computer. Their unlikely alliance sets the stage for an epic confrontation against an army of Sentinels. The intense battle culminates in Senator Kelly renouncing his anti-mutant stance, marking a significant triumph for mutantkind. Furthermore, the liberation of Beast, previously imprisoned, signals a promising shift in the ongoing struggle for mutant rights.

Even though the series is reaching its conclusion, fans have something to anticipate in the near future. Season 2 has been in the works for a considerable period, almost immediately following the first season. Furthermore, news emerged prior to the season 1 debut about the early stages of development for season 3.

Recent updates suggest that the show is poised for multiple seasons, driven by its favorable ratings. What are your thoughts? Share them with us in the comments section!
