The 90s took animation in a direction of more adult themes, then there was Exo-Squad—a bold, serialized animated series that tackled war, politics, and identity with the depth of adult sci-fi and the heart of Saturday morning cartoons. In this season premiere, we sit down with the man at the creative core of it all: Will Meugniot.
From designing iconic E-Frames to guiding the show’s layered characters and mature themes, Meugniot helped shape a series that never talked down to its audience. We dive deep into the making of Exo-Squad, the anime influences, network pushback, the truth about canceled third season, and what could’ve been. Plus: behind-the-scenes stories, collaborations with writing legend Eric Lewald , and answers to fan-submitted questions.
Whether you grew up watching Marsh and Phaeton square off—or you’re discovering the Neosapien War for the first time—this is your front-row seat to the legacy of a cult classic.
Back to Pop is back. And we’re going deep.
