The old cartoons had an interesting spin on racism. It had no solutions per say, for one you had humans that feared mutants and what they could do, and wanted to feel safe - the racists, but they were not being mocked or ridiculed for it.

And you had the mutants doing bat shit crazy stuff and being actual threats. The mutants were not some idealistic victims of society.

There is a line in the first X-men movie that stuck with me, it was something about having kids with weapons in schools. This covers the x-men racism very well.

The issue becomes even more interesting when you have mutants that can mind control or create illusions. You had mutants more dangerous then nuclear bombs.

1992 leftists, that believed in free speech, individual liberty, personal responsibility, treating everyone based on their character did a good job navigating all of this issues from a neutral perspective.

Who here believes that leftists today will not turn the show in to evil humans vs poor oppressed mutants with Sentinels as modern police designed to step on the neck of mutant fentanyl users?

I'm also certain that there is going to be a major difference in team dynamic. You had an old, straight, white male leader that everyone respects, Rogue was a southern redneck, Wolverine was manly and Jean was a red-head.

This show will either be unrecognizable or canceled by woke mobs.
