The X-Men are lame. The whole thing started as some civil rights movement parallel. And in a world where people loved Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four and other people with powers, those same crowds hate the X-Men...for...also having powers. Because they were born that way instead of acquiring them? Who the fuck knows. It was a flimsy plot to begin with at least in-universe. I think that's the whole reason Civil War was even a thing to kind of retroactively fix a glaringly large plot hole in the marvel world.
And of course all the fears people had about them were completely validated when Magneto and Sinister and Apocalypse killed a bunch of people.
Stan Lee debunked that it was based on civil rights movement but that hasn’t stopped people from seeing what they want
Yeah and Tolkien says he doesn't use allegory yet LoTR is overflowing with allegory.
True. I was just saying what Lee said. I can see how people could interpret a variety of things in X-Men
