But.. I mean, mutants are just that, a mutation. And there's a lot less of them than the humans. Who is to say that humanity isn't right to wipe out people like Magneto who want to destroy them..

tass says:
magneto personally, maybe
but it's the same as with regular crime...
you have to wait til they do something
you can't just eliminate them based on what they are, thinking that means they *will* do something
don't we call that "racial profiling"? hello
maybe i am too soft, i dunno

enotsola says:
especially as it's like... some major villain that manages to spark the hatred enough (killing a bunch of people in some horrible way? I forget) to start the whole thing
and really, who knows which marvel timeline this whole thing was in... multiverses and time travel make things all woogidy

tass says:

enotsola says:
Yup
I'm well aware.. your point?

X-men is cool for that. It has always been about social issues, repression, and trying to live a moral life in the face of opposition and oppression.

...you mean that isn't the larger cultural point the X-Men serve?
