Because the morons making this don't care. I have actually heard a rumor that the new series will not touch upon Magneto's origins at all, not even coming up in conversation. The decision was not because it didn't serve the storytelling, but because they had to follow guidelines. I heard a rumor some time ago that the series, on the whole, is "just fine." It is neither the return most fans are looking for, but not the disaster as they would worry about. The adjustments to come across as being contemporary (you know what I am getting at) despite the 1990's setting are off to get a reaction out of people and to bring attention to the product. It matters not at the end of the day how loud the opposition is, Disney sees it as a cause-and-effect where if one side gets loud, they can make their product appear like a must for culture and get the other side to watch without hesitation, and if the opposition try to make waves on social media by video or text-based posts, even better because it gives them free marketing. This is why I boycott shit like this. It takes something beloved by many from the past, 'updates it for modern audiences' (which is code for screws it up royally) and have basically used people's nostalgia for the original to suck them into this new bastardized version. X-Men '97 Staff Member: "Hey, Boss, maybe we could use this rare opportunity in creating a sequel of a fan favorite to revitalize interest in the Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey, and Jubillee characters for the upcoming MCU X-Men. I mean, they was fan favorite characters before the movies neutered every X-Man not named Wolverine in the eyes of the movie-going public." Disney Executive: "Or... we can update the series for a modern audience and dodge all the real issues the show was applauded for tackling in its time." |

Given the fantastic reception so far, I think dropping DeMayo will hurt it as it progresses. He is a genuine fan of the property and knows what works and it sounds like he fought to make it sure it felt as close to the original program as possible.

Season 2 delayed until 2026. Very disappointing.
