X-Men is too woke now

user, the problems that led us here have much more to do with the way they tried to reinvigorate the comics in the early 2000s by pushing them the racial identity politics over superhero action or soap opera than they have anything to do with the relatively short period in the 2010s when Marvel 'de-pushed' the X-Men because of movie rights. Everything had gone wrong long before then.

Define "woke"

I am genuinely impressed that Glob is still around, even though his role has been significantly limited. By now X-men have gotten rid of almost all of Morrison's super ugly mutants. The presentable ones like Eye-Boy remain, but Basilisk, Fart-boy, Beak, and others that don't come to mind, have all been phased out from the scene in one way or another.

>Ask the average person what they think the status quo for a typical X-Men series would be, then explain what's going on now and watch their face curl up like they just sucked on a lemon.

Why would your average person have any idea what the X-men would be about outside of expecting it to reflect the cartoon/live action movie/game they are vaguely familiar with? This is such a stupid thing to use as an argument.

>I am genuinely impressed that Glob is still around

Why, the reason he has stuck around is because he has an interesting and highly unique visual design. That’s it,

The problem with X-Men as metaphor for "oppressed minorities" is that they are justifiably oppressed for being dangerous

So many jobber mutants have been thrown into the meat grinder for events or to introduce new villains it's not even funny.

MANDATORY VACCINES FOR MUTANTS, HELP SAVE LIVES.

No, thats exactly the point. There is a cultural expectation of what the X-men are, what they do, and what their stories are like that has been informed by every piece of media that *isn't* the comics. Meanwhile, the comics are completely unrecognizable as x-men.

Anyone who watches the cartoons, movies, or plays the games and decides they want more of that and tries to pick up a modern x-men comic going to be varying degrees of confused and disgusted by what is going on, and will probably just drop it instead of continuing.

This is directly related to why comics are dying.

Because the ugly mutants are all deleted, sooner or later. Because obviously nobody wants ugly charactersBecause obviously nobody wants ugly characters. The X-men have never been a true metaphor for diversity (. Morlocks were never really helped by the X-men.

Glob has an interesting design. If he had an Op power he could literally do the Lovecroftian divinity that everyone has to take seriously instead of just using him as Krakoa landscape

So everything has to follow movies and tv shows? What a great idea. Let’s kill everyone and make Xavier have alzheimers and shit his pants and Wolverine doesn’t do anything except a limo, since the last Wolverin movie was about that. That will really make comics sell more.

>Because obviously nobody wants ugly characters

Nobody wants ugly people’s opinions on what characters can appear in fiction, fattie.

The "oppressed minorities" angle was only ever the veneer to keep X-Men relevant in a social scale by writers that want to write about those kind of topics, to keep the door always open for that kind of storytelling. It was always about cool mutant power shit.

>Immediately aggressive for no reason.

That was not the point and in no way am I against Glob. I am just amazed that he has managed to survive so far. Characters like him are generally the first to be deleted.

You got this from Twitter didn't you user

>in no way am I against Glob
Because his skin is literally transparent.

Yes. "Le civil rights allegory" is a retcon, Stan just didn't want to make more origin stories

They are used for social themes, but in true the teenage reader is more interested for the Wish fulfillment feeling to be "unique and special".
A narcissistic trait that X-men really have at their core.
