The X-men are depicted as marginalized, but it's weird that they're depicted that way. People with those powers would probably more likely get an MCU experience: a lot would be celebrities, or tech giant CEOs, many could make bank with their powers in a capitalist society, most dictators would be extremely powerful mutants, there'd be a shit ton of mutants within the wealthiest 1%.
Captain America, Spiderman, and Batman have all had recent movie plotlines of being a wanted criminal because they're vigilantes operating outside the justice system. But when that same plotline happens to the X-men, it's supposed to mean a different thing, and the analogy they're trying to make doesn't really hold.
they have traditionally been different universes. There is a bit of oddness that comes from the MCU trying to merge the two. It actually doesn't align well
