Is the name "X-Men" outdated? Marvel Studios' Executive Vice President of Production Victoria Alonso thinks so. During an interview about Captain Marvel's home video release, Alonso is asked about the future of the X-Men at Disney and goes on an interesting tangent.
"I don't know where the future is going," Alonso told Nuke the Fridge. "Its funny that people call it the X-Men... there's a lot of female superheroes in that X-Men group; I think it's outdated."

Good Lord, this PC crap needs to end. If you’re offended, grow up.
The amusing part about ‘woke’ people is their obsessive juvenile sandbox/treehouse strictures on words, phrases, etc.
X-CLGBTQ
How about The Trans-X-uals?
The letter “X” is triggering.
How about “Gay Propaganda”?
I re-watched the original “X-Men” from 2000 done by Gay Mafia head Brian Singer.
He really thinks Gays are superior.
Change the word X-Men to Gay and then watch the movie.
I'm the convicted PEDOPHILE who created X-men..!
And I didn't even lose my job..!!
x-people? x-persons? just doesn’t have the same ring to it. x-xir?
I saw an x-men movie or two. Thing is, I don’t know which ones I’ve seen and not seen, so I haven’t bothered to waste time renting a movie only to find out it’s one I’ve seen.
Same with transformers and Avengers. It becomes a mish-mash of movies.
They won’t change the name X-Men. It has too much brand value.
(An interesting side story: DC Comics has to continually produce Wonder Woman comics in order to keep the registered trademark on the character, or else the character trademark rights revert to the estate of William Moulton Marston, the creator of the character.)
We need to retire the name “mankind”. For our species we also need to replace the name “Homo Sapiens” (Wise Man) with the now far more appropriate name “Homo Stultus” (Stupid Man)
For a while they tried referring to the female heroes as the X-Wives but everybody kept assuming they were evil so they dropped it.
Hard to disagree with this. X-Men is so old school. What will the Tranies feel. And the Women’s Lib Gang?
I suggest that X-Men be changed to Ex-It. Or perhaps Ex-Its.
Seems both logical and fitting.
Convicted? I don’t think so.
The X-Men were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
