    Who says they don't?

    Most of Jenkins-Lee run was about a UN attack on Attilan because humans didn't understand the Inhumans. The Inhumans are a macro look at the socio-cultural behaviors and xenophobia between countries and cultures.

    Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure Marvel really highlights the difference as much as they should, but Inhumans should be a metaphor for xenophobia, cultural clash and trying to maintain a people's cultural identity in the face of globalization. X-men is much more about race and sexuality.
    Both metaphors are incredibly relevant, I'm just not sure many current readers see the difference. One franchise doesn't need to have a monopoly on being persecuted, Marvel just needs to focus on what makes each unique. I'd be all for something like that being the focus of a major X-men/Inhumans storyline, but Marvel is more interested in the absurd "Terrigen mist kills mutants" plot.

    I love both groups, but have always looked at it like

    Inhumans: Macro-sociopolitical exploration, e.g., What do we think of them?

    X-men: Micro-sociopolitical exploration, e.g., How do I think of him/her?

    We should have had the inhuman's book be similar to game of thrones with the Royal family trying to unite/fight the other inhuman enclaves hidden around the world while trying to bring the new inhuman's in to there culture. also before secret wars all the lady's in uncanny X men were exposed to that mist and were fine.

    This was a fantastic issue, the twist at the end with Triton I didn't expect for at all.

    Only Lockjaw could do something so violent, and come off cuter than ever in the process. Lol.

    It reminded me of this video:

    How can the Inhumans be a metaphor for xenophobia (and the X-Men not) when neither the nu-Inhumans nor the X-Men are from any country in particular?

    X-men is much more about race and sexuality.
    Your reaching with the sexuality bit...

    And, your an expert on spotting said differences, huh?
