Bryan Singer = ‘Superman Returns’. Case closed.
In the Singer movies because he’s gay, yes. In the stuff without Singer not so much but sort of, in the Chris Claremont years especially mutants represented pretty much every group that’s ever been shat upon, which includes gays, and Jews, and blacks. They were a general diatribe against all bigotry. Singer has just kind of focused it.
Another franchise bites the dust...
Absolutely, the code has been broken...homosexuals are the real mutants
Well, lucky me. I’ve never seen any of the X-Men movies nor did I read the comic books as a kid. There is plenty of other dreck that I wish I had avoided over the decades, as well.
Duh
Of course it is. I’m always surprised when people don’t pick up on that. Though, I did grow up in New York City and knew a lot of gay people growing up, so maybe I’m more aware of such things than some.
When I first saw the movie, I figured “Oh, Bryan Singer is gay and has a thing for old British guys. I had no idea.”
You know what? The first couple movies are still pretty damn good. At least Singer didn’t make the horrible Batman movie that was all about the codpieces like Joel Schumacher did. Okay, he came close with Superman Returns, but X-Men is still pretty good.
In the comics, I always related the X-Men to gun owners.
The gov’t was always trying to “register” them and eventually created robots to round-them-up.
The language used with regard to superpowers is the same used for firearms -— can we trust them with that ability?
I never saw the connection to homosexuality because I do not think that way.
The homo’s I work with picked up on the gay motif of X-Men IMMEDIATELY although I never believed them.
Homo’s will tell you who is gay or if a movie/tv show has a hidden gay theme within 5 minutes of observation.
It’s called ‘gaydar’ for a reason.
In the grander symbolic narrative they’re both 3 dollar bills with pink hair.
Mutant: Noun. of, relating to, or produced by mutation
Mutation: Noun, a significant and basic alteration : change
Gays are also known as Fascists In Leotards!
I never liked the X Men movies and this comes from a big fan of the MU. I ALSO NEVER liked Bryan Singer’s interpretation of the X Men universe and now I have another reason to not like it. This movie franchise really needs to die so it can be rebooted properly in a couple of years by Marvel Studios, the same goes for Spiderman.
Gay mutant? Your mutant power isn’t something cool like metal claws or laser eyes...it’s the ability to match carpets and drapes flawlessly...even plaids...
Stan Lee, the Jewish creator of Marvel, including the X-men, has stated repeatedly that the mutants were a parable of the Jewish experience, and grew out of his reaction to the Shoa.
Xavier represents Stan’s “good side”
Magento (who is actually a Camp survivor in the stories”) Stan’s bad side.
Me, I would listen to the author regarding what he meant.
