Check this out:

Here’s the official descripition:

As part of Airbnb Icons, renters can stay in the X-Mansion based on the animated series “X-Men ’97.” It features living spaces and recreation areas with traces of its mutant residents.

We’ve had a look at these themed houses before with IP like Batman and Barbie, and this mansion looks to be decked out to cater specifically to the animated X-Men fans.

Not only do we get iconic locations from the show like the Danger Room and the X-Men’s control room, but the entire mansion has also been stylized to look like a frame from the animated series, with the lines going all around the furniture and walls.

You’ll also notice that the photos are all animated as well, with some imagery coming from the rebooted show on Disney+. Die-hard fans will also know all about the Easter Eggs located in each of the rooms—like the photo of Scott and Jean that Wolverine was known to pine over.

We may not be getting a movie any time soon, but the X-Men are certainly back with this new series. With showrunner Beau DeMayo fired, we don’t know how long Marvel wants to to continue this reboot, but fans are definitely loving what DeMayo has delivered so far.

X-Men ’97 Showrunner on How 9/11 Inspired the ‘Remember It’ Episode https://www.geekfeed.com/x-men-97-showrunner-on-the-remember-it-episode/ Tue, 16 Apr 2024 07:50:30 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=81917 SPOILER WARNING FOR X-MEN ’97 EPISODE ‘REMEMBER IT’

It’s no mystery that X-Men ’97 has been getting a lot of praise online, but the latest episode Remember It has got to be one of the biggest  moments in the entire show, killing off two principal characters alongside a whole genocide in the mutant nation of Genosha.

Though Marvel had fired him earlier, ex-showrunner Beau DeMayo had been coming out online to share some insight on the released episodes, and he says that the mutant genocide was a very personal story drawing inspiration from the events of the 9/11 attacks.

The world [back in the 90s] was a simple place of right and wrong, where questions about identity and social justice had relatively clear cut answers… Then 9/11 happened, and the world turned against itself.”

When it came to the character of Gambit, he said that the show was purposefully getting the audience to like him, so that when he dies, it’s supposed to mirror the experience of knowing someone who died in a huge tragedy. “If events like 9/11, Tulsa, Charlottesville, or Pulse Nightclub teach us anything, it’s that too many stories are often cut far too short.”

We don’t know where the show is headed yet, but fans are already praising just how seriously X-Men ’97 is taking its themes on prejudice and social justice—all while having the quips and action that you can expect from a comic book property.

For now, fans are still curious about how the show’s reception will affect DeMayo’s reputation, but there have been some fans calling to bring him back. I mean, it happened for James Gunn before. I’m just curious if Marvel knows something about DeMayo that we don’t.

More 90s Marvel Animated Properties could be Revived Through X-Men ‘97 https://www.geekfeed.com/more-90s-marvel-could-be-revived-through-x-men-97/ Wed, 27 Mar 2024 15:07:48 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=81676 X-Men ’97 may have been caught in a snag when showrunner Beau DeMayo was fired right before the premiere, but reviews for the series have been sparkling, and the X-Men are back, bigger than ever.

With X-Men just being one of the bigger Marvel properties of the 90s, fans were wondering if other shows from that era were going to get a revival, and it just might be possible.

As per a Discord Q&A with insider Alex Perez (via The Cosmic Circus), Marvel is currently thinking of making a ‘90s Animated Universe’ which will be explored via X-Men ’97. When asked if there was a chance we could see the return of animated versions of Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man, Perez replied:

There have been discussions about exploring a Marvel 90s animated universe, which would most likely be explored through X-Men ’97 at this time. There is potential for more projects to be developed within this universe, the most likely candidate being a sequel series to Spider-Man: The Animated Series, but this is still very early in development as an idea being tossed around.

For context, here’s the intro for 90s’ Spider-Man: The Animated Series:

With the original series having their own cameo appearances from other heroes, it’s very likely that X-Men ’97 could be doing the same thing—especially with how Marvel has been treating cameos in all their recent projects.

With another Spider-Man animated series in the works, I’m not sure if a revival of 90s Spider-Man would be a smart decision, but if it’s just a cameo appearance in X-Men ’97, I guess it wouldn’t feel like it was trying to overshadow the new Spider-Man show.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. For now, catch X-Men ’97 now streaming on Disney+.

Marvel has Fired the Showrunner of X-Men ‘97 https://www.geekfeed.com/marvel-has-fired-the-showrunner-of-x-men-97/ Fri, 15 Mar 2024 02:36:57 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=81492 A lot of Marvel fans were excited this March for the premiere of the revival of the animated X-Men series from the ‘90s, but the show has suddenly been caught in a shocking snag.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has suddenly fired X-Men ’97 creator and showrunner Beau DeMayo. His company e-mail had been deactivated, and his social media has been deleted. Marvel has not released any official reason for why DeMayo had been fired, but the cast and crew of his series was informed that he would no longer be attached to the project.

It’s very surprising that Marvel should fire DeMayo now as we’re only weeks away from the premiere of the series. DeMayo was already said to have scheduled multiple interviews for the coming weeks, and there were even plans for him to attend the Hollywood premiere.

For now, fans can only speculate on why DeMayo was fired. Some would cite creative differences—which is the usual reason—but DeMayo has been working with Marvel for a while, having written for Moon Knight and the upcoming reboot of Blade. Why would they suddenly decide to stop collaborating with him.

I guess all we really have to do is wait. A lot of fans are still anxious about the upcoming reboot; maybe it’s quality when it releases will give us an idea of what the rift between the studio and the showrunner could be about.

X-Men ’97 arrives on Disney+ on March 20.
