>>148996125>the whole point of being a mutant in X-Men is a metaphor for being part of a "marginalized" or persecuted groupThat's the fucking problem, it should have never turned into that, the X-Men and mutants should have stayed as just gifted people the general populace in the Marvel universe had no issues with, not a portrait of the civil rights movement.
Now we have ugly ass mutants being created, with extreme deformities to make it more believable why a common person would be prejudiced against said mutant.
