X-Men in 2019 should be radical and extremist. An existential threat to the human status quo. None of that ‘Hey man, let’s just get along and stuff because we’re all the same!’.
    Also an interesting point, considering how the opposition towards mutants goes beyond skin color and the like, because there's also that factor that they have these powers, some of which could be capable of destroying entire cities, or even worse, the whole world, which, I'm sure is reasonable enough to say, doesn't completely resemble real life from that perspective. There's also the fact that, however well-intentioned, mutants such as Magneto have caused more damage than what was reasonable in order to get his point across. If we're talking on the subject of well-intentioned groups taking things too far, then what should mutants like Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants be compared to? Black people like Malcolm X, which is a comparison I've heard repeatedly, or other groups entirely, like Antifa?
