Yup @Taoboi. I saw it. I kind of figured Gambit will be brought back as the new horseman of death. 

Yep. lol. It feels weird to have to explain so much to my brother. I could have sworn he kept up with me while I was the actual collector but...lol. smh.

 

Excited.

Wish Storm wasnt sidelined so much this season. Especially in the last episode. 

Me too. But she did have a big arc and got a love interest in Forge, so I can't complain too much. We might be in for a big story with her in season 2 by us not knowing which era Storm (Wolverine too) got zapped into.

He wasn’t the showrunner for What If’s two seasons that aired so far. He will be for the third season though.  But I do think that’s a very different beast than this, so it’s more of just a wait and see, I think.

While I agree with wait and see, hearing he or they went back and did rewrites on S2 makes me go hmmm

My guess is Beau's season 2 is currently going through the editing process before it gets animated and fully voiced-over. Since Beau was fired and not there to do any rewrites based on feedback from Disney/Marvel, his replacement is doing that tidying up work now.

Thats expected and i kinda feel  like they had to. Beau isnt there to carry out his vision for season 3 so Im sure there are things introduced in S2 that would end up being dangling plots that make no sense. The rewrites will help allign things and make it feel more cohesive and less jarring when the show moves in a different direction.

 

I think a change in headwriters will be a good thing. S1 was enjoyable but was TOO fast paced. Beau knew the source material well, almost too well to a fault. It felt at times like he was just throwing things in there just for the fandom without having any intent on developing it. It was like dude, you are burning through so many plotlines; lets save some for future storylines. In fact his style felt like what you see when writers dont know they will get multipl seasons so they write each one as if its the last. I think the show would benefit greatly from slowing down and takin proper care to developing the characters bc at times it felt lik they had no room to breathe. That style of writing really hindered the show and it would have been much stronger had it not been so fast. The new weriter definitely should not try to follow Beau's style.

I am a firm believer that when you fire someone who had the show riding at an all-time high, it is better to promote someone in-house and work closely with the previous writer. That's just my opinion.

Sorry for the late reply, but I was just always under the impression that barring some animation that S1 and S2 were done back-to-back. At least the writing. Perhaps I just misunderstood because Beau might be gone, but he stayed extremely active online with tea and hints. 

 

While I feel and understand what you guys said, I've also been of the school that when a showrunner who put their imprint on something leaves, it tends to suffer. IE. ANGEL, THE ORIGINAL when their showrunners left before their respective last seasons. Granted, it's animation, but I can't help but feel a bit of caution with someone new coming in. While the new guy could make it very cohesive, he could also be so into putting his imprint on the show that it becomes less cohesive so...waiting and seeing.

Marvel Studios is notorious for completely micromanaging and overhauling their projects in both pre-production and post-production. To varying degrees of success. Definitely not out of the ordinary for them, but definitely a wait and see as there isn’t too much out there to really judge the new show-runner on.

In related news, Kevin Feige is making the rounds promoting Deadpool & Wolverine this week. He mentioned that they’re excited to finally tap into the more soap opera elements of the X-Men IP in live-action soon. He might not necessarily be a fan, but Feige does seem to have a shred of respect for soaps. Perhaps because his grandfather was Robert E. Short - who once oversaw soap operas for P&G as the Executive In Charge of Production.
