I just don’t get people who say X-Men wasn’t “woke” until recently. It never even tried very hard to hide the metaphors…

    God loves, Man kills…Inspired by the rise of televangelism in the 1980s, the Xmen story deals with overall religious extremism.

      Which fuckin’ god? The one that (if you believe in) sent the ten plagues? And the flood? And burned two major cities? And that’s just in the book where he’s supposedly the good guy?

        I think you misunderstand… God Loves, Man Kills is the title of an X-Men story from the 80s which centers on the X-Men fighting against a church that preaches anti-mutant bigotry.
