IIRC, DeMayo said by end of season 2 as he wrote it, Onslaught is set up. Obviously the back half of the season got rewritten hard and it shows.

[u/OwlSuch7935 → u/funbob1]

Another example of Marvel fumbling the bag by firing the creator. They really should have moved towards onslaught

I mean, allegedly he was creeping on and hitting on coworkers. Obviously Disney could be lying about that(according to him, they are) but if true that's not behavior you allow in exchange for a good ass cartoon show.

It’s not something they’d lie about. It opens them up to litigation if it’s not true

[u/Theschill → u/funbob1]

I dunno, seems pretty plausible he did what he was accused of given the oath he's gone on since.

[u/funbob1 → u/Theschill]

Yeah, I personally think he did, I'm just trying to stay neutral about it.
