      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.
