X-Men ’97 creator Beau DeMayo has opened up about the heartbreaking inspiration behind the latest episode. Spoilers ahead On 10 April, fans were treated to the action-packed fifth episode of the critically acclaimed Disney+ series.
Titled “Remember It,” the recent entry saw our favourite mutant superhero team split off into two groups. On the X-Mansion front, Beast, Scott, Jean, Jubilee, and Wolverine took part in a press event in light of the mutant nation of Genosha joining the United Nations.
However, the junket was far from smooth, as Scott and Jean’s relationship issues trickled to the forefront. As for Magneto, Rogue, and Gambit, the trio travelled to Genosha after the Master of Magnetism was invited to Genosha’s welcome gala.
Despite a heartwarming reunion with Kurt Wagner, aka Nightcrawler, their trip was laced with romantic and socio-political tension, similar to their friends at the X-Mansion.
