Eh to me part of the X-Men story is their status as known outcasts that people fear and st. You can't do that so easily in the current MCU because they have to be...known. It damages the property to say "they were there all along and didn't mention them"

To me it's either parallel universes or you completely reset them and you actually show the origin of the mutation.

That's not really what I'm saying. I'm saying the floodgates burst open because Nick Fury was being Nick Fury and trying to keep secrets. Then, suddenly, it's like the sexual harassment allegations - it just all starts pouring out. Except here, it's a matter of world security, and you get a big panic and an immediate fear from individuals with powers. For me, there's a sudden new layer to these superheroes and mutants. Do you distance yourself from mutantkind? Are you a mutant yourself? You have heroes questioning their own identities and the world questioning their heroes.

I mean, I think there are some great stories to be told in that realm. It turns Nick Fury into a grey area character (of which there are pretty much none), and it sets you on a collision course between Avengers and X-Men eventually where no side is wrong.
