The problem with xmen is fundmental. They are weapons. Its not skin color or sexuality or anything, they are living weapons, and the metaphor falls flat before it ever stands up.
I don’t think so. I always thought it did a good job of it. I was never meant to be in your face woke crap. It was meant to enforce tolerance.
Stan Lee was a jew, non-practicing but still a jew. He saw the horrors of WW2. I don’t know if that shaped his views on tolerance but I suspect it did.
X-Men has always tried to talk about social issues.
I haven’t read a comic since childhood, but it would be a natural progression for the X-Men.
Comics were woke before woke was a thing but with a conservative twist.

It wasn’t there are just like black people. It was more about society pushing out anyone who was different, like black people.
Oddly Stan was a Democrat and they were the most racist ones in the room. So I am not sure why Stan was a Democrat.
