Why not saying that it ’s about good people fighting evil people, mutants or humans? The problem of coexistence concerns the day-to-day life, mundane little things like accidents, powers that can go awry, delinquency, petty things that are not very spectacular and not that interesting to show in a comic, that are just exacerbated because of powers.
I understand why a human would be wary of mutants, but also why a mutant would be wary of another mutant all the same. I suppose that on Krakoa there are still problems, it’s not happiness because they are all mutants and there’s no humans…
I find boring these stories humans versus mutants because there’s no way to understand what being a human in a world where (evil) mutants exist feels, as it’s a bit stupid to identify yourself with a being with super-powers: these are problematics that are too far from our life. Past stories where about feelings, interpersonal relationships, life-death situations, moral… at least, it was what interested the past authors… If an author has nothing more interesting to tell than “humans want to destroy mutants because they are afraid and mutants have to defend themselves against them”, what is the point of this comic?
Claremont started these kind of stories but it didn’t go further than a plot device, he wrote on so many other subjects…
