To me, my X-rule!
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I just don't get people who say X-Men wasn't "woke" until recently. It never even tried very hard to hide the metaphors...
Their backgrounds are very different, of course, but their ideologies were (loosely) modeled on those two, yes.
Magneto tends to waver between mutant separatist and mutant supremacist, but he's very militant in his methods either way.
I mean, make they could have had Magento with the one with X in her name if he was modeled on Malcolm X. I said it was sloppy. I didn't say it was wrong.
Magento just preyed on disenfranchisement mutants with charisma. Malcolm X had more going on than that.
A lot of problems I may have have more to do with it being a cape comicbook story. Any character arc that Magento has would be reset eventually.
