But this is a throwback show to 90s x men and in the series he very much was drawn and portrayed as a man.
This is probably less than half about the non binary thing and more about just changing a character that already had a Fandom. Like, you never heard anyone complaining about Todd from Bojack Horsemen being asexual. Or the multitude of characters all across the board in the Questionable Content comics. It's almost always people angry about some major change to an established character that doesn't mesh with their history. You never hear about it when it's a new character.
Of course, the fandom for the quintessential X-Man, Morph, who was so well loved that he starred alongside Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry in the 2000s X-Men film.
Morph, who was such an established Marvel character that they had to change his name for the animated show because there was a DC character who had a better claim to it.
Morph, whose iconic design was “a dude”. I remember when every kid wanted the “a dude” action figure.
That Morph?
I would bet good money that not a single soul who is being vocally upset online about this was a part of the “Morph Fandom”. It’s people who assume that a show featuring a non-cis or non-straight character is a personal attack.
Spoken like someone who never watched the show and just parroted some of the info that article just gave you.
Morph was on a fair amount in the show and had his own arc. He was sort of based off Changeling from the comics, but was a different character completely, just with the same ability and created just for the show.
Also, Gambit wasn't even in the movies. Jubilee also didn't really have a roll in the movies, but Gambit, Morph, and Jubilee were all major characters in the cartoon.
