Beau DeMayo is the Biggest Zack Snyder Fan After His Twilight of the Gods Remark
- Beau DeMayo praised Zack Snyder's 'Twilight of the Gods', showing his admiration for his storytelling.
- DeMayo has appreciated Snyder earlier as well, citing 'Man of Steel ' as an influence on his own work.
- Snyder has teased the possibility of a second season of 'Twilight of the Gods'.
Zack Snyder has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry with movies like 300 and Man of Steel. The director is known for his visual and bold storytelling, and the same can be said about his latest show, Twilight of the Gods, where Snyder has explored Norse mythology.
However, apart from getting some positive feedback from the viewers, Snyder is getting acknowledged by a fellow showrunner, Beau DeMayo. The writer-producer of shows like Moon Knight and X-Men ’97 has recently praised Snyder’s Twilight of the Gods, which shows why he is one of the biggest fans of the Batman V Superman director.
Beau DeMayo Praises Zack Snyder’s Twilight of the Gods
Zack Snyder’s Twilight of the Gods is not just a mythology story. It is as hardcore, brutal, and dark as it gets when it comes to the Norse gods, together with Snyder putting his spin on a concept that is already grand. The show looks bold, both in terms of concept and looks.
As to the plot of the show, it is about a mortal king, Leif, who falls in love with warrior Sigrid. Their story of seeking revenge begins after being attacked by Thor. It is about love and vengeance against the backdrop of war-torn lands and battlefields. This adult animation checks all the boxes for fans of Snyder’s work.
One such fan is Beau DeMayo. DeMayo does have a smooth entertainment career. He has worked on Marvel’s X-Men ’97, Moon Knight, and even worked on Mahershala Ali’s Blade production until he was fired after an internal investigation. However, DeMayo believes the reason is something else.
Despite the allegations, DeMayo’s work has been loved by many, and it helped X-Men ’97 to earn multiple Emmy nominations. Now, the writer has recently praised Twilight of the Gods director and writer Zack Snyder and Jay Oliva for their work.
Twilight of the Gods. Wow.

Well done @ZackSnyder and @jayoliva1
It is not the first time that DeMayo has been in awe of Snyder’s work. Earlier, the X-Men ’97 showrunner confessed on X that he was influenced by Man of Steel while writing a finale scene when Rogue was punching Bastion. Besides, he had gone on a series of posts on X praising Superman’s first flight scene and how Superman and Lois’ interaction was an absolute cinema.
This is Snyder and his writers perfectly dramatizing the heart of Superman’s journey in most media: “how do I make a difference?” Lois and Supe’s love story is teaching him that he doesn’t need to save everyone to save the world and make a difference.

Such interaction and compliments from DeMayo just show how big of a Snyder fan he actually is. It is probably Snyder’s influence that both creators share certain similarities when it comes to visually appealing storytelling and pushing creative boundaries.
Future of Twilight of the Gods
Twilight of the Gods represents a new beginning for Zack Snyder, who is investing in adult animation. In the series, Norse mythology receives distinctive treatment from Snyder. The first season is currently generating interest, but Snyder has mentioned the chance of a second season in an interview with Screen Rant.
We definitely are talking about it. We know what we want to do, and we’re all excited about a potential season 2, so we’ll see. Of course, [we’ve talked about it]. We’re well on our way, so we’ll see what happens.
The early reviews of the show have been going well so far. Twilight of the Gods has currently a rating of 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is much higher than Snyder’s previous work, Rebel Moon. So in a way, it is a significant rebound for Snyder.
Now, the future of Twilight of the Gods will mostly depend on its performance. However, with positive critical reception and enthusiastic supporters like DeMayo in his corner, Snyder’s journey into animated storytelling might just be beginning.
Twilight of the Gods is now streaming on Netflix.
