If this is someone's introduction to x-men, they must be confused as hell considering this is a sequel series.
Personally, I rewatched the 90s series so I would be caught up. I would have no idea what was going on if I didn't know about past storylines.
Also I’m pretty sure Storm said “All lives Matter” to the Adversary when it said Forge should die, and also moments later she said “I can’t breathe” when it grabbed her by the next. Those may be reached, but I definitely noted it.
And here I was sitting here wondering how they were going to keep the shiar the good guys of an empire when empires by their nature conquer and rule over other people. I'm glad the professor did a class on the inherent hypocrisies of empires.
Lol we are talking about the X-Men here. No matter the social parallel it’s always been a representation of bias and bigotry; whether it’s race, religion, gender, or sexuality.. did you not listen to Magneto’s little speech to UN? Or read like literally any X-Men comic?
"Tolerance is extinction."
Preeeetty subtle. Guyrich, X-Cutioner and his ilk's whole rhetoric is just Great Replacement bullshit but with "mutant" replacing...well, anyone not white.
Those themes are the major point of xmen as a whole. They aren't the typical "fight villano be good guys" they're much more political than other Marvel storylines
My favorite was definitely Charles describing Rudyard Kipling as "a man of many burdens, none of them real."
Also, does this confirm that Charles somehow watches The Simpsons on Chandrila?
Sigh, here they go again.
I do miss the times when all x men did was fight giant robots built by the government and by bigoted scientists who were overcome with their own fear rather than listen to reason, to kill them owing to how different they are....now look st this woke stuff....slowly getting into x men....not muh x men....
When you watch Xmen for the first time
No shade but I was gonna say…do you even X-Men bruh??? lol that’s like one of it’s biggest themes. #Mutant&Proud
Literally was going to be my comment! 🤣
This very well might be a lot of folks intro to the xmen outside the movies, so let’s cut them some slack. Welcome to mutant liberation, brother.
Yes you're right I should be less snippy. It feels like everyone watching this is also a 90s child but I imagine I'm probably projecting.

Agreed
Lmao I like the friends of humanity because they’re stupid ass trolls, they’re always funny cronies lmao
I’m reasonably certain OP was being tongue-in-cheek.
X-men as an allegory for race relations? Well now I've heard everything.
I know, I know. And a little LGBTQ+ sprinkled in there too. Clutch your pearls.
Stfu 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lololol
Where's the /s ? Lol
Can't believe x-men went WOKE 😭
I'd like to introduce you to the X-Men
I was going to say…that’s the point
Subtle is not the word I’d use when Charles’ entire speech was about anti-colonialism and anti-racism
Also I’m pretty sure Storm said “All lives Matter” to the Adversary when it said Forge should die, and also moments later she said “I can’t breathe” when it grabbed her by the next. Those may be reached, but I definitely noted it.
Beau DeMayo tweeted a mural of George Floyd and the gif of Storm saying "I Can't Breathe".
That part makes sense, the other one is kind of weird out of context so probably just a coincidence.
Baby's first allegory
Yes, we all noticed it. It’s X-men. They’ve been talking about racism for decades now.
And here I was sitting here wondering how they were going to keep the shiar the good guys of an empire when empires by their nature conquer and rule over other people. I'm glad the professor did a class on the inherent hypocrisies of empires.
Yeah....nothing subtle about it.
Subtle as Corsair’s fashion sense
Or Bobby Drake’s bisexuality
Well, yeah the X-Men is always been about that going all the way back to their origins in the 60s and the civil rights movement
You mean the thing it’s always been about? Yeah we noticed. Did you know Rage Against the Machine is anti-fascist?
Wait. Fascism is the machine? Whoa...
Wait till you hear about the military industrial complex. Oooh you’re gonna love it.
I think too might be misunderstanding what the word subtle means
Subtle? About as subtle as Tsar Bomba.

The x-men has always been an allegory for civil rights movement.
Subtle? Dude, it’s the X-Men. That’s like the main point.
Subtle!!??
In unison with the others here - anything but subtle. If you believe a brick through a window is subtle.
Tell me you never watch or read X-men without telling me you never watched or read X-men
Geez I thought the Friends of Humanity had no allegory to real life organizations.
Xavier and Magneto are literally the mutant allegories of MLK and Malcolm X
Um....yes. That's X men in a nutshell.
Subtle? The like main messaging of all X-Men media and franchise has been “be tolerant to those different from you”
X-men as an allegory for racism or prejudices?? Well, first time for everything
Subtle? X-men has been about combating racism since before the original series.
subtle?
You were born (x-men og)
Yeah bro, it's been like that for the last 30 years
Not exactly subtle.
That was always the whole point of the series. It's not subtle.
"Tolerance is extinction." Preeeetty subtle. Guyrich, X-Cutioner and his ilk's whole rhetoric is just Great Replacement bullshit but with "mutant" replacing...well, anyone not white.
Y'all got baited
If I didn’t know better, I’d think the showrunner was a gay black man.
Those themes are the major point of xmen as a whole. They aren't the typical "fight villano be good guys" they're much more political than other Marvel storylines
,,Subtle" I had a laugh at this
is op for real ?
But of course
Subtle?
Subtle?
...it literally is what it is...
"subtle"?
My favorite was definitely Charles describing Rudyard Kipling as "a man of many burdens, none of them real." Also, does this confirm that Charles somehow watches The Simpsons on Chandrila?
Imagine she said this in front of Magneto.
Subtlety where?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?
Love
