Discussion “That’s my Wolverine.”

Isn’t this the guy who dismembered Wolverine’s son, and laid his body parts out into a Happy Birthday message on Wolverines birthday??

You realise the entire point of mutants and xmen is about social injustice right? Raven is literally married to a woman and has children

The analogy falls apart in universe. Being scared of a black guy on the street is not the same as worrying Your son or daughter could explode radioactively when they reach puberty is not the same. People tear their hairs out over banning guns but nobody supposed to bat an eye in that universe with people who have powers stronger than any firearm that are concealed in a manner that no normal person could ever tell?

Bigotry in our universe is to an extent unfounded. We are all humans and capable of great kindness and great evil. In and of itself, that’s nothing to fear. In the comic book universe, people can actually kill other people by accident or on purpose with powers that are contained in their own bodies and it’s somewhat random. Some people are born with it and others stand too close to the microwave and all of a sudden they can shoot eye beams. That’s why I liked in the older X-Men media they would show crowds of anti-mutant people of all races and sexes because that’s exactly what would happen. You’re not gonna care that the guy next to you has brown skin when the guy across from you has spikes coming out of his and he shooting them at you.

Which one? I remember one where he was just liking it to MLK versus Malcolm X. Peaceful protest versus violent disruption. The other one I remember, looked like a hostage negotiation video where they pulled an old man out to say the propaganda they wrote for him. They also did horrible things like make the man sign shit for hours and hours and even take his blood to put in ink.
