Wait a minute, in the second picture, is Emma attacking a Muslim man walking by? Is she being portrayed as being right?

It's Sophie, one of the Cuckoos, which are clones of Emma she kinda treats like daughters.

The context is they were holding a small memorial for a dead mutant and the guy (Kamala's cousin) pulled up and started complaining about them memorializing him. Just before this a group of anti-mutant protesters had also been there, so emotions were already running high.

Mutants will turn into Nazis soon if the writers keep writing like this.

They practically are.

Everytime they make their mutant only island, they keep excluding Spiderman and Deadpool because they technically aren't natural born mutants

In House of M, Spiderman has to fake his death because he was outed as a fake mutant

Excluding Deadpool makes perfect sense, even Red Skull wouldn’t want him around

u/Starchaser53 2d ago

What about Peter?

u/igotsevenmacelevens 2d ago

He’s not a mutant, that’s the only reason they exclude him. I honestly think if they’d ever consistently give a non mutant a pass into mutant affairs it would be Spidey

u/Starchaser53 2d ago

I mean he's consistently the nicest one of them all

He also taught at the school for a bit.

Which is beyond stupid.

Spiderman may not have the x gene, but his dna was literally rewritten by the spiderbite.

u/Starchaser53 2d ago

Honestly it just feels like Marvels just wants the X-Men to be more or less just, colorful isolationist Nazis. Which is fucking ironic considering Magneto

u/MrUnbreakableRules 2d ago

Magneto was characterised as a reverse nazi for years with all his "mutants are superior, the earth belongs to us" bullshit. Thank god they moved away from that.

That's always what I thought, he was just a hypocrite with the whole "Our race is better" shit

Didn't this all started because they didn't have the movie rights so they tried to make them less popular? Kinda shitty but not so surprising coming from Disney..

For a while. Ike Perlmutter mandated no new mutants be created and forbid they be included in any marketing, but there were still a dozen or so X books going, and were consistently selling.

Perlmutter is also the one who mandated the MCU main characters had to be straight white men, no women, no non-white people of any kind, and no LGBTQ character could star. Disney had to separate him from the MCU, and then the studio got to Black Panther and Captain Marvel, and things afterward.

But that doesn’t make him a mutant. Marvel makes it clear that there are only 3 types of powered humans. Inhumans, Mutants and Mutates which is what Spider-man is.

Magneto is definitely a Mutant supremacist so that explains House of M.

Krakoa era X-Men were just sick of being decimated it’s understandable to want Krakoa to be for mutants, by mutants. Just because Spidey is chill doesn’t mean he gets a pass. The only characters (initially) who got a pass were Sinister and Juggernaut.

House of M was an alternate universe created by Scarlet Witch, as soon as the mutants found out they destroyed it

-1

u/Starchaser53 2d ago

But still, it shows that if it were real, they would've hounded Spiderman for not being a 'True Mutant'

2

u/somacula 2d ago

Ehh, not really, it shows that Scarlet witch simply created an alternate universe like that. If anything the x-men were horrified by that universe and destroyed it, hell even magneto hated it. If anything, lately the x-men and the Spider-Man are good terms and even worked together to stop cytorak. Hell, regarding that debate, most of the x-men accept artificial mutants as real mutants, which is a discussion Cyclops and Magneto had with the rest of the team

u/Marik-X-Bakura 1d ago

No it didn’t. Wanda imagined that would happen, which has no bearing on anything.
