was a team effort. Please take time to note the end credits, go online and research the many artists who helped bring this to life. Send them your love and support. ❤️
Good example of the Rule of Three. Earlier sequence had Kurt BAMF two times. We added a third. Helps balances rhythm in writing and filmmaking.
Spider-Man. Silver Samurai. Omega Red.
Summers battlefront. Mansion front. Sunspot/Jubilee front.
Like 3 acts. Feels complete.
I was likely subconsciously influenced by this when writing the
#xmen97
finale beat of Rogue punching Bastion. That’s not Superman hammering Zod. It’s Clark, a son furiously defending the woman who raised and protected him. The action is driven by emotion not plot.

. They had to chart uncharted waters, before X-Men was what it was today. There was no mutant zeitgeist. They had to create it. This show is a love letter and a debt paid to them.

and his team. We were literally already on the same page when we first met to discuss how to bring this script to life.

If you remember the OG series, Logan is actually complimenting Magneto when he does that deed. In a way, he understands why Magneto did what he did…but still has to do the deed.
Sorry, Scoersce,

. Everything, the aspirational shot design and music, the flight choreography, Clark going from sauntering with heavy burden to soaring and smiling, sell the hope and power of an outsider discovering he’s too big for his adopted home.

This actually isn’t all that surprising to me. Live action has always had a broader appeal by default. But I think shows like
#xmen97
, Invincible, Castlevania, and Blood of Zeus are doing their part to change this, which is super exciting.
Pretty amazing. One of my goals with the show was to show that animation can and should be treated as seriously as live action. To see

nominated with stellar live action shows like Shogun means a lot.

I would give you the comic issues to read — including my all-time favorite single issue of any

comic ever — but that would spoil several surprises.
Can’t wait to discuss afterward tho!

From story bible to the script, Morph’s confession to Logan was always romantic. I discussed this openly and often during production. Suggesting otherwise, never mind contradicting the intention of a queer writer-showrunner, is both offensive and straight-washing.

Wait what if she used the feathers to create the outfit and now she's literally wearing her demon's skin?
"What are demons but reflection of our fears and shame? Things we bury within us... until we finally heal our adversary by embracing it" 🤔
@BeauDemayo
I loved the idea that this episode is largely about air control and crash landings, with Magneto being the only one who ends up remaining in the skies.

scene. The way Lois’s peril and Supes’ connection to her cements his connection to his own humanity. Then that look on his face before he drifts out, rallying, knowing that with saving Lois comes the larger responsibility of saving humanity.
