“Full disclaimer: I’m a Snyder fan”: X-Men ‘97 Bea...

Beau DeMayo has no shame in admitting that he is a Zack Snyder fan

In the vast cosmos of fandoms, Marvel and DC stand miles apart despite both sharing several similarities. Yet, fans of the two are often embroiled in clashes and rivalries, arguing over a plethora of things and blasting each other off. However, one particular figure, Zack Snyder, has often united the two fandoms. Not because of his talent and work but because fans love to hate the ingenious filmmaker for his feat in the DC universe.

But disrupting this harmony of hate is the X-Men ’97 creator Beau DeMayo, who recently showed his unabashed admiration for Zack Snyder.

History has stood testament that fans are often the cruelest people that creators will often come across. Not only can they take a person to the highest podium of success but they can also drag the very same person to the depths of abysm, misery, and suffering.

And so it is for Zack Snyder (whose movies ironically are also widely hailed as among the best DCU flicks), whom fans just love to hate, something that even he has failed to grasp why (see The Atlantic). Joining in the hate are also Marvel fans, who apparently ridicule the filmmaker’s failed efforts in creating a DC universe similar to that of MCU.

However, Beau DeMayo, aka the creator of one of the best Marvel shows ever, X-Men ’97, recently showed his support to the heavily scrutinized director. In a recent tweet, DeMayo joked about one of DC’s biggest controversies: Martha.

Name of both Batman and Superman’s mother, DeMayo joked,

Yet he later added that he is a Snyder fan, thus shutting out any and all fans who love to hate the former DC helmer. DeMayo had also previously revealed how Snyder’s Man of Steel was the inspiration behind one scene in Episode 8 of X-Men ’97 (via X).

While Zack Snyder is often dragged here and there in fandom wars, even his fans are not spared. One swift look at websites like Reddit will show just how hated the Snyder Cult is across the fandom side of the internet. Hence, it was a big deal for a lot of Snyder fans when Beau DeMayo revealed his love for Zack Snyder and Man of Steel.

And this is how fans reacted to his tweet:

While some fans found his stance problematic, DeMayo’s love for Snyder does not diminish his commitment to his Marvel work but rather serves as a testament to his versatility as a storyteller. And so after winning the hearts of Marvel fans through X-Men ’97, DeMayo has also won the hearts of several DC fans who love Zack Snyder.
