    I still think X-Corps is perfect. It’s established and is suggestive of their humanitarian mission a la the Peace Corps and Americorps.

    I don't have any excuses and wasn't making any. I'm just correcting your observably false narrative.

    Gabby is a tremendous breath of fresh air and provides a wonderful, contrasting take on the Wolverine concept. I love her dynamics with Laura and Daken, and I'm sure she'll wonderfully charming when...

    Storm stabbed Callisto and ripped a bomb out of Marrow's body to save innocent lives. She also left the school after M-Day to protect vulnerable populations in Africa. These are explicit, textual...

    They seem to have plenty of time to regurgitate the same tired scenes between Xavier and Magneto and time to add that queer subtext, so I'm not sure how including actual queer characters and simply...

    Portray an actual queer relationship onscreen is what they are supposed to do. I'm shocked that required explanation.

    Right. The reality is the franchise is very likely going to be a massive successive regardless of what they call it. If they decide to choose a name that is more inclusive, it'll still do well. We...

    To your point: it's still the X-Men brand AND people know it. A name change shouldn't be that confusing and again, would signal a change in approach. As for regressive fans for whom the core message...

    Can you folks stop putting words in other people's mouths to prove your point? It's tiresome. I didn't say the reception to Dark Phoenix would prompt them to change the name. I just said I think a...

    They made a different choice with Spider-Man, and I'm not sure how that negates my point. Your post would make sense if I'd said calling them the "X-Men" would be a mistake that leads to failure...

    Would it? Considering the reception to Dark Phoenix, I expect a name change would be a great way to signal that Marvel doesn't plan on producing a franchise that repeatedly plagiarizes itself as the...

    If Marvel can make Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocket Racoon, and Groot household names, I'm sure they can sell a "Nation X" or "X-Corps" without any trouble.

    I hope the irony of the creators (and fans) of the X, a franchise built almost entirely on themes of evolution and social progress, being so obsessed with nostalgia isn't lost on anyone. It's a...

    The problem is that queer relationships get erased or half-heartedly teased more than they are actually represented. In this instance, a producer on the film acknowledged that the queer subtext is...

    What exactly did I say that was nonsense? The original spelling of female was altered to more closely align with male. The word "man" was originally gender-neutral but was co-opted by a patriarchal...

    This series has been a delight. I'm really looking forward to the conclusion, and I really appreciate this creative use of Nature Girl's abilities and the deeper look at her point of view.
