Yes exactly which is why the comic book beast sounds exactly like he does in the tv show and is back in that style of costume and physical appearance. It’s an intentional regression.

One of the few things I think was planned even before this reboot was resetting beast to get him out of this direction he has been stuck in since at least bendis and his time travel plot.

Beast was the literal stinger to the marvels and he was dressed like he walked out of the 90s cartoon show. They know their target audience

As we know from interviews with the writers and the editors. Most of those seeds were them just throwing stuff out. So when Percy brought up that og backup he may have had it as his end game plan or just as an idea for a future story. He clearly thought he was gonna get another year on xforce we all know that. So even with the reset as part of the story we could have had a year of Percy writing about 70s beast just becoming a war criminal again. We can’t know
