in the history of xmen, there is more drama and soap opera settings than fighting. this is why neither Xavier or magneto ever fought in any of the movies where this issue themes was the main focus I feel topic like this will bold more well, if there was not much false narratives told about the XMEN universe and comics and sadly I seem to notice, this started becoming a pattern when it became official that xmen will be in the MCU.
this is part of the issue we talk about what you described is more of mature and darker story and it has already happened to great critical acclaim both in books and films and even cartoons.
When DOFP first aired on TAS in 1992/1993, it was a ground breaking moment for Saturday morning cartoon because kids were not used to seeing stories like that. stories that dealt with genocide, people been hunted down and sent to concentration camps.
Bryan Singer was...is gay/bi sexual, he directed Days of future past the movie and he talked about how the story affected him as a disfranchised person and how anyone who was different can relate to it. in that film, the speech Magneto gave. Magneto says in quote....''come out...no more hiding''. Which is obviously about LGBT people in the closest.
As a person who is a big xmen fan, taking to a big MCU fan as you are, you having no desire to relate to it because MCU cannot make do a Sentinel based film like DOFP, does not change the reality of what has been done. Also it confirms why we wants X-Men to be separate from the MCU, calling it ''trauma porn'' is just objectively not true because many xmen characters have dealt with this trauma of the Sentinels hunting them down but this is why we say xmen stories were mature because they explore all this themes deeply and knew how to handle this sort of adult themes even in their 90s cartoons.
Some MCU fans having no desire to see them, is not the fault of XMEN or their fans. the stories have already be written. DOFP, E is for Extinction, Schism just to name a few Sentinels focused stories I can remember of people been hunted down. Obviously MCU would not and can do these stories without having to water them down or turn them into comedy like Ragnarok, so some of their fans are now saying, they have no desire to see this stories as done in the comics is unfair, and this , actually disenfranchising many xmen fans, who would have no problem and would want to see these stories, . some can try and spin this any how they want but in the end, what this is really about is trying to justify dumbed down X-MEN movies from the MCU and that is not fair or right for the XMEN series
