no it wasn't...if that is what you got from X-Men you are really missing the point

Don't bother. Anyone that says that kind of stuff about basically any comic book doesn't understand subtext or hell, even text, about what they are reading.

He also thinks Animal Farm is about talking animals...

Thing is, it's not subtle... It's one of the main plots of the comic

Anything that doesn't explicitly scream "This is a metaphor for gay people!" is subtle for those mouth breathers.

I always saw it as any sort of minority group who wanted rights (blacks, women, etc) but I can see how it can be more about the gay community.

It wasn’t woke. The X-Men used to symbolize the fight against “wokism” (Even though it wasn’t a thing yet and CRT wasn’t main stream) and the violent people that practice it. Now, they’ll probably be woke vigilantes or some dumb shit.

What are you talking about? The X-Men are now and have always been about minorities seeking justice from oppression.

Apparently you have been grossly misinterpreting The X-Men for decades if you actually believe otherwise.

Of course the Entertainment Board is the correct place to cry about CRT and wokeness because..........????

XMen has always been pretty woke...it's a minority group attempting to be recognized as equals to humankind...at least from Professor X's standpoint

Magneto wanted mutants to take over.

so...what exactly do you want? Just minldess action? The politics behind X Men is a BIG part of the whole story.

Close

Magneto saw mutants as the next step in human evolution (as humans were to apes)

He sees nothing wrong with using their genetically given abilities, and society hasn’t legislated against them to a certain extent.

It’s not quite as comparable to a lot of the stuff that normal humans deal with and especially not the fictitious woke nonsense

TBD on whether I will watch it.

the X-Men cartoon and the Spider-man cartoon were two of my favorites growing up

but I would be disappointed if they were to get away from the source material like you are suggesting.

the new X-Men storyline is actually pretty good. They separate themselves from the world and create their own nation...probably too "woke" for your liking

The modern comics already tried to woke it up and it bombed

They turned Raging lady killer Bobby drake and his solo comic bombed
They feminized colossus

That’s the best part, all of marvels woke efforts went to shit

Hopefully they’ve learned their lesson

you get triggered by the weirdest things

we get that you are a bigot and want everyone to be heterosexual and either male or female with no inbetween...and make sure the men are jacked and the women have big tits...but that's not how it is like in the real world and the comics do what they can to relate to the real world.

but you go ahead and get butthurt that the woke X-Men comic tries to continue to be woke

as for the voice actors...I don't think they need to use the same voices they had back in the 90's. No reason to do that.

I just hope the animation is a little cleaner. You go back and watch any of these old cartoons and they just look terrible.

The story of a (non racial) minority group that does not exist in real life is not really woke.
Making this woke would be inserting current and "real" social justice issues into it.

The Falcone & the Winter Solider would be a good example of making a show ..."woke"

alright, Boomer

I don’t need these made issues thrown into a comic book.

They’re more factual than half the “science” you just spouted to virtue signaling about nothing

God forbid a work of art include some kind of social commentary!

Guys…

The politics is a somewhat legit topic for the show, but calm it down. This is not the forum.

But the constant personal attacks have to stop. That is unacceptable.
