Current Events > I never understood why people thought Ben (The Thing) is ugly

(+) Yeah! (+)

He literally looks so cool and strong. I think people who judge him are just jealous of him.

Rock monsters are my fetish

Only thing I find off putting is the fact his rock cock probably wouldn't feel great.

Was t unless about him being ugly and more about him being a monster?

How is he a monster, though? He's such a good guy. He probably even pays his taxes on time.

I mean like not literally him being like that sort of monster but like being a rock monster.

I always found it weird that a blind woman loves him. She can definitely feel his monolith rock dick. Probably even more than a sighted woman. That can't feel good in there at all

I mean, she's fully aware of his anatomy. It's not like she doesn't know he's made of rocks.

Also I feel like if The Thing was created in this era, nobody would even bat an eye. There'd be people from all over the world trying to get with him. People are into some wild stuff nowadays.

Sure, but what's wrong with that?

In one of the really early Fantastic Four stories, she actually says she prefers his rock form. One time he temporarily reverts back to human and she feels him and says something like "this isn't the guy I like, what happened?"

And later Thing laments on how he kinda was hoping to be permanently human again, but the girl he likes prefers him as a rock monster. I think he eventually gives up on trying to be human, because of her

Same thing whats wrong with Mutants people hate what they dont understand?

Even though the Marvel universe will praise like the Avengers and other super powered heroes but will then turn around and shit on Mutants cus world building.

Human Torch is more horrifying true

Mutants is a race thing not looks

Those in power upset that mutants threaten their power structures

No its definitely a looks thing too

No it isn't.
It is racist bigots who want to feel superior and mutants literally are superior and that hurts their ego

Think of it like this.

X-men is if all the sudden Gen Z had the ability to subvert all world governments and heirarchies.

One guy can make infinite food. One guy can make infinite oil. One guy can make healthcare irrelevant. One guy can end wars and make everyone peaceful.

What would boomer Republicans do if this happened?

No it isn't.

Right, because no one would bat an eye at talking golems and flaming men in real life as long as they don't try to overthrow the government/capitalism. /s

And frankly as someone who looks like a mutant IRL, yes I do tend to get viewed a certain way lol

And yet the world has non mutant super heroes and villains.

They are older.
Mutants problem is:
1. Literally another species
2. Literal children get world changing powers

The superheros fall in line with world authorities. See Captain America and eve the fantastic four.

Now give an angry pre-teen that power and boomers don't like it.

Also Ben is considered ugly yet he is NOT viewed the way mutants are.
He is actually a celebrity.

This is because he falls in line. He was like part of the airforce or space program before becoming a hero. Part of the government.

The thing with mutants is that unlike other metahumans, they literally just pop up out of nowhere. There's no freak accident or science experiment that explains their existence and their population can't be controlled without extreme measures (like eugenics or literal genocide). A random 5 year old could, at any moment, just suddenly develop the ability to nuke a city without even knowing it.

Also, mutants seem insanely powerful compared to other Earth-based heroes (outside of The Hulk).

Yet it still kinda of poses the same issues regarding hypocrisy in the Marvel Universe what with how often super powered beings pop up from accidents, or literal magic, demons, aliens existing. Like this is a hostile world when even your non powered heroes and villains are common.

I loved that one scene where he was like "how bad is it?"
"They tried their best, buddy."

The difference is that the humans see the mutants of the Marvel universe as a whole different race. They're not just guys like Peter Parker who were essentially man-made creations. And even with many of the magic users in the Marvel Universe, they had to study and learn their magic.

Mutants, on the other hand, are a whole existential crisis for humanity because they're basically just better humans, down to how they're reproduced. The whole "anti-mutant" bigotry in the Marvel Universe is basically just a super-powered version of the White Replacement Theory.

Not often enough.

The difference is seeing on the news The Avengers doing something and your next door neighbors snotty nosed brat kid just got world ending powers yesterday.
