No trace of any reason for the firing to be found in the article, both sides at the time of publishing have been silent about it.

Strange. Hoping it's something shitty Marvel/Disney did, would be disappointing to hear DeMayo did something worthy of being dropped suddenly like this...

Yeah the silence is odd. It's compounded by the fact that he just finished writing the second season and was beginning preliminary planning on a third. It seems abrupt. I imagine Disney/Marvel will release a statement soon but it's unusual for them not to get ahead of news like this.

Silence like this? Nah. He must have done something bad enough that him or Disney would not want it out.
