What are your thoughts on x-men’s recent foray into gender politics? Do you believe it’s uncharacteristic of the comic or was it a natural progression?

  Did you not watch the 2000’s X-Men movies that were thinly veiled gay rights discussions?

  Or the original comics which were anti-religious persecution comics?

  Or the entire history of X-Men being treated like minorities targeted by conservative society and pulpit bangers?

  It’s literally the core of the comic.

    It really isn’t about conservative society. It’s about society in general. Stan lee was against intolerance which isn’t tied to any political platform.

  Honestly, never really watched X-Men, or read comics, but I can imagine being frustrated if you were a fan of the characters. Just make new characters instead of hijacking old ones. But then again, we wouldn’t have modern Harley Quinn without hijacking, and she’s become a really good character in her own right.

  If it were up to me, I’d have the original heros age, and that way they could become mentors and make room for a new batch of superheros. Superman has been around since 1938, surely he’d be in his 110s, if not older.

  X-Men has always tried to talk about social issues.

  I haven’t read a comic since childhood, but it would be a natural progression for the X-Men.

  Comics were woke before woke was a thing but with a conservative twist.

  I’m sick and tired of super hero movies but highlighting sexual deviants as freaks is OK in my book.
