I think that is what I was trying to ask earlier as well X-men is superhero about fighting aliens, robots,vampires, demons and supervillains but some people only see X-men comic about mutants being hated and feared and metaphor for real life minorities .I think X-men is both things but while fighting Aliens X-men can also be about being a metaphor for minorities. I think the X-men has suffered some from forcing itself to be only hey mutants are feared and hated minority going as far reducing its population to fit the narrative rather it coming out in cleverly written stories about superheroes that you can see the metaphor. I think it is fine to be direct with metaphor at times. But I think X-men loses a little something when it is strong arming yeah we are hated thing.
I get on facebook and see clowish hatred nearly daily but in my life I have only had sporadic incidents of hate. X-men hate comes across clowish at times to me like this isn't reflecting the real world. When the X-men can't live among humans I don't think the can be a good metaphor for minorities
