Yes, that was I was getting at

I’m not arguing for the sake of arguing. Again, I know more than a few trans women who most would say “look like” men. I also know a lot of trans men who “look like” women. Not all trans people have money to spend on hormones, surgeries, cosmetics and what have you to conform to gender norms, and there are also plenty…

whoa hold on. You’re making a lot of assumptions about what trans women look like. I personally know more than a few trans women who you might define as obviously not women.

Ruffalo probably. That guy is a dreamy dreamy dad type

seriously. It feels like every day is a bad day to stop sniffing glue

No. They want to trans people to stop existing. It isn’t really about bathrooms, it is about refusing to acknowledge the humanity of people who make them uncomfortable in any way

Actually, one could argue that Xavier being an outcast in the mutant community in more recent years is an extension of the messianic themes of the character. Part of some interpretations of the biblical story of Jesus is that the community turned on him and his disciples either betrayed or rejected him. In order to…

I think it more that all Western art and literature owes some type of debt to Judaeo-Christian religions. It’s been true since the Renaissance, when every acceptable piece of art or literature or music was in some way about Christianity. Since then pretty much everything that has been produced has been some sort of…

To clarify, I assume when you say “X” you mean Xavier, not Malcolm X

That’s sort of an ongoing debate in superhero fiction, and I’m not sure if Singer is really taking a side. Religion is such a complex topic in superhero universes. Most superheroes and supervillains could claim a mantle of godhood, and tons have had that mantle thrust upon them by other characters, or even writers in…

To be clear, I don’t think Singer is suggesting that his versions of Xavier and Apocalypse will literally be Christ and anti-Christ, I think he is more saying that those sort of savior/false savior concepts inform the story

On topic: I just bought my ticket for Thursday. Who else is excited?

I mean, it kind of is. There are definitely messianic layers to the depiction of Xavier in some X-Men stories. He’s routinely depicted as the savior of mutant kind.

There’s a New 52 magic based Question? Gross

Yep. Darkseid has always been all about it from the beginning of the Fourth World series. Jack Kirby’s version was pretty simple compared to what later writers have developed it into. It was basically a universal mind control trick, which would allow the person who discovered it to dominate the wills of all…

The name’s Zodiac

Technically he’s gorgeous

Damn, wouldn’t it be a rip off though if it turns out that Evans has like a Trump dick or something?

I rewatched all the Marvel movies recently, and I think that might actually be canon

Could have been a lot worse. Enzo is one of those guys who I always expect to botch, no offense to him. I’m really glad this wasn’t serious and hope he gets an opportunity to improve, moderate his style or find a better role on the show because he is damn fun to watch on the mic
