In the context of the MCU he's not wrong. I don't like what happened with Sharon Carter in the MCU, but he's not responsible for that. The movies made Peggy Carter into his one true love, and his whole ending was about returning to her. He never even had a real relationship with Sharon.

I personally dislike what happened with Steve because I don't think it's right for the character or something he would do. But they wanted to give Steve a happy ending and write out Chris Evans. So that's what we got.

And frankly, the MCU has done this repeatedly. Plenty of characters have been significantly altered or changed to fit the framework of the MCU.

Fans were never attached to Sharon Carter or uplifted Sharon Carter. The character they got attached to was Peggy. That's why Peggy got all the spinoff appearances. That's why she got her own series, and that's why she ended up with Steve.

Also misspelled Bucky there too...

Always great to see someone who advocates for character death in a show clearly trying to recreate the last 2 decades of X books. Not a compliment.

Despite dreading the character treatment under this guy, especially female characters, I also predict Scott will have his lips bitten off by a zombie. He'll never be as cool as Logan.

'97 and the MCU reboot recently got nothing but completely underwhelming and uninspiring choices to me, the games got me quickly disappointed and annoyed, and while I haven't started the new era, I'm a bit disappointed with the end of Krakoa, which was something that got me excited to read the books again. I'm tired of being an X-Men fan.

That just goes to show, him thinking Steve belongs to Peggy when any fool knows it's Bucky, shows he can't be trusted.

I’ve seen all these MCU movies and I was like, who the hell is Sharon Carter? Googling it didn’t help lol

She’s a much more interesting character in the comics in addition to her relationship with Steve Rogers. Unfortunately Peggy was made much more significant in the MCU at the expense of Sharon.

 

[Donner]

Morph was one of the best parts of season 1 and if the writers turf them by retconning their identity or downplaying their comedic timing, I will be pissed.

I’m not a fan of DeMayo and clearly he’s self absorbed based on his Twitter feed, and I think it’s ****ty to assume no one can do it like him. I can accept the “suffering” of art if crappy people are pushed out and better creatives are brought in. That being said, I like what he did with the characters (especially Jean) but there is room for improvement. Let’s hope the subsequent seasons bring that.

This is gross and creepy.

Its not like Sharon was badly written in Winter Soldier when she was introduced. The fact is that Emily Van Camp and Chris Evans just didn't have chemistry (and keeping the canon of Sharon being Peggy's niece intact after the great chemistry Hayley Atwell and Evans had was a huge mistake). That weird hostility towards a fictional character from a writer is just unhinged.

 

[TheVileOne]

It's hard to say they didn't have any chemistry when the movies didn't really invest in their relationship at all. If you think about it, it should've really been Sharon as Cap's partner in Winter Soldier instead of Black Widow. They shared like one scene together in Winter Soldier.

Yeah after what happens in DP&W I don’t want to see any Wolverine fans complaining about a lack of Wolverine in this again. I’m still hoping and wishing on everything that his role is no bigger in season 2 than it is here.

When '97 came out I was thinking that was the path Marvel wanted to take with the X-Men. Not so sure now. Looks like 97 was the only one going into a different direction.

The change of showrunners makes me nervous too.

Same. I don’t have high hopes but we’ll see.

I also think it's worth noticing '97 didn't need to crap on Logan to elevate the other X-Men.

 

[CB Fan]

Yeah idk how people aren’t sick of that crap multiverse or no…but imma leave it there.

Let the Age of Apocalypse commence.

Grant Morrison uniforms...

Throw the whole damn show away.

 

[Arachnerd]

"Apocalypse will appear in X-Men '97 season 2."

Gee, you think?

 

[JP]

I think I read somewhere that it's DANGER, not WARLOCK.

 

[Sithborg]

At this point, I would not be surprised to see the adopt The Draco.

 

[Venom 1988]

Apparently the change to Morrison era costumes came from DeMayo. Not the biggest fan but I also don't see team wearing them the whole season either.
