Extremely interesting visuals in XMen97

It's still crazy to me that the showrunner of this super well received show got dumped the way he did. When was the last time something like that happened?

r1 yeah there is a story there. He was far too open as an isntaho but I doubt that is why he was let go. Wonder if it was a Shangela moment?

It happens all the time. Creative people are often crazy.

But my point is…

…who is the creator of this show, and who does the cartoon character look like

…this is very easy puzzle btw. First one who gets it gets a cookie.

well, the creator is Beau DeMayo. Who does Magneto look like? A muscle bound white haired guy in a speedo chained up...so he looks like my Friday night.

R5 maybe try talking it out loud

Are neurotypicals really this bad at making connections?

When I saw that scene with Magneto, I thought, "The internet is going to have some kind of reaction to this."

…yet clearly not the obvious one

✊.

I assume you mean Jesus.

🤦

Okay obi wan who is it supposed to be?

Good grief, the autism troll returns.

For the last time, you do not have super powers. I know it makes you feel special to think you do, but you don’t.

R13 shouldn’t you be in the Ryan Gosling thread defending his honor?

Oh boy

My point is that it looks like Henry Cavill in The Witcher

Beau Demayo was Cavill’s ally on The Witcher

So it’s odd that DeMayo chooses villain Magneto to look exactly like Geralt strung up in this lascivious bondage imagery.

And now there’s this.

Also using a villain character

You do know DeMayo does not animate the show right? The Magneto character is drawn like he was drawn in the 2000s based on what he has looked like since the 60s. The fact you called everyone idiots for such an esoteric connection to a non-existent connection is laughable.

But r17

Can you show me the comic where Magneto is strung up on an X in such a provocative position

I’ll wait

I don't give a hoot what or who it is supposed to represent. It's fracking HOT! A hunky man with a full mane of hair and beard in skimpy briefs or a speedo bound to a St. Andrew's Cross....

Let the weekend fun commence!

Would you like pics of Magneto nude?

at the mutant gay bath house

Strung up

None of those are overtly sexual.

Okay you win. All of Xmen 97 was just for DeMayo to convince animators to draw an established character to look Henry Cavill in the Witcher because he wants to fuck him in real life and put him in an overtly sexual positon of weakness for 2 minutes on screen. How could I not see it?

Change the tensing of some words r24 and I’d be inclined to agree with you

The writer in the deuxmoi post was corroborated to be DeMayo

So you are suggesting DeMayo was fired because he made Magneto look like Cavill and then put him in a provocative pose that looks semi sexual/bondage for about 30 second of screen time? That all of the XMen 97 was a smoke screen to do this.

R27 No, you freaking dumbass, I think he was fired from XMen97 because he was he’s impossible to work with. He was fired from the Witcher for being difficult.

But if he is crazy, this is exactly the thing a crazy person would do

r28 Again. DeMayo is not the animator. The look of Magento was well established before the Witcher. I am sure in your BDSM fantasy world you think DeMayo sent notes "Make sure he is trussed up arms and legs in as little as possible and he should look like Gerard from The Witcher. And if you can give him a semi there is an extra few rubles in your paycheck" But it just doesn't work like that. You seem entirely too invested in some made-up gay fantasy feud between DeMayo and Cavill. I am guessing Cavill has no idea about it.

Comic Nerd Fight!

You two bring your best Pokémon cards tomorrow at 5pm!

It was an homage to this cover of Uncanny X-Men. Stop trying to make connections that don’t exist.

R29 you seem entirely too invested that it’s not the explanation

I am pointing out a pattern

The fact that magneto is posed this way and looks like geralt of rivia may merely be a coincidence

The fact that demayo copied exact scenes from Man of Steel is not

Oh

Other people see it too
