I've never seen a more on-point nailing of the online bigot mindset.

EDIT: Huh. The second one isn't showing up.

Well, scroll down in the replies and you'll see another great scene of a criminal basically saying "mutants are going to take over the planet and everyone who says they support mutants is only doing it because it's a fad".

Yes. This is set back in the 90s. They made it as if its just the next season of the old show. Amd they are adapting plots from the 90s comics. But I'm hoping this show lasts a while and eventually adapts a comic event from like 2004 called House of M where Scarlet Witch changes reality and has mutants as the dominant species and humans are oppressed

If its the same people who didn't understand Homelander in The Boys is not a hero, they probably won't even understand the message

They're already whining about it being "woke" because Rogue's booty is supposedly flatter, so I imagine they'll be positively seething over this

Really hope so too, but the showrunner got fired, though apparently he finished working on season 2 before getting fired, so at least that far. 20 episodes, if they keep the 10 episode structure is pretty short...

And just remember this is an adaptation of comics from the eighties and nineties, they didn't even change the dialog that much from how it was written in those comics. People.like that have always existed and media was already calling them out. Anyone who gets offended by it should look at who they are, but won't.

Youre assuming they possess self awareness. For now theyre on board since "its the same as the old show" and no new minority characters.

But yeah, the show is pretty damn good. A combination of the old show, just slightly updated and a tad bit more adult.

Nah, I've still seen plenty of people complaining online saying this one is "woke".

...Despite the fact that X-Men has always unapologetically been the most woke mainstream comic from the beginning.

While not completely unintentional, for the most part what happens in episode 2 is stuff that happened in the comics in the eighties.

No he randomly went on a tangent about the theme song. And he did so in a borderline Trumpian way of speaking.
