It’s not stopping me from watching, and enjoying it. But there’s a good number of people who will see the headline and say **** that. They are not gaining a single fan by doing this, and it will for sure turn a bunch of people off. I want to see X-men succeed :-)
The irony is in you crying about “wokeism” in, undoubtedly, Marvel’s most woke IP.
The franchise has been rife with social commentary since its inception. There are clear parallels to real world racism, xenophobia and LGBT acceptance at pretty much every turn. The entire thing is clearly a metaphor for the Civil Rights Movement complete with analogues of Martin Luther King Jr (Professor X) and Malcolm X (Magneto).
The movies aren’t subtle either. If you remember Iceman first telling his parents he was a mutant in X2 (“Have you tried not being a mutant?”); that’s obviously a play on the unique LGBT experience of “coming out”. X3 dealt with the mutant cure which could easily be interpreted as an allusion to real world conversion therapy.
Idk, man. It seems obvious to me. You seem sincere but you’ve really gotta pick your battles sometimes. I don’t think this is the one. [Reply]

Now if they do that thing where they draw the female characters all frumpy and I can't fap to Rogue anymore, than we can probably all agree that they've taken things too far, right? [Reply]

Yep, that was the 90s in all its glory. Comic book adaptations, video games, etc. You couldn’t find a 20-30 year old woman in fiction without 36-24-36 dimensions.
I was thinking about that regarding Rogue earlier though. Why was everyone in love with her? Jean and Storm were both stacked as well. Jean also had the redhead thing going. [Reply]

Cuz Rogue looks like she's a better lay. Jean would probably dangle sex over you like a carrot. Maybe she'll mind-fuck you if you're lucky. Storm seems like she's the take charge type and im not really into that. Though it would be hot when she faints from exhaustion after cuming, like she does every time she uses her powers.

Fuck, Marry, Kill:
Fuck: Rogue
Marry: Jean
Kill: Storm
Yeah, this is spot-on.
As a kid, Jean seemed older and when I'm 12 years old, I don't recognize the advantages associated with same.
I mean now - yeah, i'm betting Jean knows some moves.
But yeah, the fuck/marry/kill lays it out pretty well and I don't really even see room for argument. [Reply]
And I’m not sure I’d want to risk fucking a chick who could kill me by touching me. In order to knock boots with her my whole body has to be wrapped in Saran Wrap and at that point I’m not sure I see the charm.
Might have to marry Storm, fuck Jean and kill Rogue. [Reply]

Doesn't she have to like hold on for awhile and slowly suck the life out of you?
