Is this even really a thing? All I saw was someone said they had a scoop that there will be a film called The Mutants. That could be a non Xmen film about Mutants. Or that could be a working title. I highly doubt they get rid of Xmen name. It has too much name recognition.

I very much agree. That is why I asked the question. You got me thinking on it. I mean I was not overly fond of Iceman being made gay, but he is, it happened not going to bitch about the change. As a gay man it would be interesting to see a story where Bobby is attacked for being gay rather then having Ice powers and using the Ice Powers as a metaphor for him being gay.
Or have a group treat Storm like **** because she is black not because she can make it rain and use the weather powers as a stand in for being black.

[QUOTE=Rincewind;5413643]Black Panther addressed the themes of European colonialism, the African Diaspora, US involvement in overthrowing foreign governments, female empowerment, the role of extremism in social change, and human trafficking. These are all real world issues that are handled in a complex manner that does not give easy answers.

some vague drawbacks, none of this have any major story plot that devlops into anything.also many of this stuff are add ons.
that is not fair, you cannot mark down a character that goes beyond vague, my stand is that xmen has already tackled so many real world themes in a deeper way that any other marvel series ever could, a forced change to modern times is not necessary.BUT the main character did not turn to camera and say "I was discriminated against by racists, AND THAT'S BAD!"
it counts better , if it is not generic story telling.
So none of that counts according to Castle.
I said if she real. also I was the person trying to keep it fictional, you added 100% realism .
This is not a big prejudice topic.I can also add Genosha, astriod m, the savage land and the recent krakoa were all rich.... awesome places for mutants. to flee problems from the headaches the world gives them and not to share some island or country with the rest of the world.You're missing the point about Black Panther. They're wealthy because of vibranium they didn't share with the rest of the world but that also caused problems for them and for everyone else.
Oh and even in this places, the prejudice things still comes up. In Genosha, 16 million mutants were targeted and killed by another self hating mutant called cassandra nova, it was a mutant holocaust performed by the sentinels , once built by a person called Bolivar Trask, a mutant racist hater.
even if I go just for POC. Storm from xmen has had it worse than black panther and you know who will take the cake? Bishop and he is black.This is why the metaphor doesn't work for some. Because comments like this latch onto pretend racism, while complaining about real racism being confronted in movies.

Except Cyclops never spoke for Falcon. Also Has Falcon ever experienced any form of racism or prejudice in movies? In xmen origins, considered the worst xmen films. there is a cyclops cameo. he is in an experimentation camp, waiting to be experimented on and then excuted because he was a mutant.
Also there are many black mutants. that is the way to do it. you dont need cylops to speak for falcon. You need Bishop becoming a leading character in an already well created universe were these themes have already been deeply addressed much better than another universe like black panther.
Bobby been gay was just not necessary.
Castle, do you understand the fake racism in X-Men isn't real racism?
I'm saying a character like Falcon doesn't need one like Cyclops to speak for him. Why are you being so defensive?
If they go with the OG team, Bobby is gay and Xavier does not have the use of his legs.
That immediately is a significant improvement over most super stuff.
Just find people like KiKi Layne as Storm (who reportedly wants to be the next Storm), Ellen Wong as Jubilee, bring back Amber Midthunder from Legion to play Mirage (they recast Blade from the Luke Cage show, so big deal IMHO), or add in one of the many other creations that fit those needs, and blamo, the X-gene people are ready for 2021.
I always thought RJ Cyler would be an excellent Beast.
