The Outstanding X-Men Magic
For generations, the X-Men have spellbound fans around the world. Their comics, TV shows, and films continue to enjoy popularity. Lately, X-Men ’97 has raced to become a much-loved hit. X-Men’s appeal goes beyond your average superhero story. It delves deeper into real-life issues, making it more relevant than other Marvel superheroes – yes, even the Avengers!
Why X-Men Surpass The Avengers
Jake Castorena, the head honcho in charge of X-Men ’97, recently explained why he thinks the X-Men team is the cream of the crop. Even though the Avengers have been the poster team of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for the past decade, X-Men seem to be quietly snatching the title.
X-Men stories, whether they’re in comic form or on screen, always have a societal and cultural edge. They teach us to embrace our differences and extend respect to everyone. The plots mirror real life, complete with complicated relationships, conflicts, and heated brawls between the mutant characters. But when the need arises, X-Men put their differences aside and unite against evil.
X-Men’s Unique Features
Castorena points out certain qualities that make X-Men stand out from the Avengers. At the heart of the X-Men team exists a family-like unity. However, the Avengers seem more like a band of heroic hired guns founded by a human.
Tackling Up-front Issues
Castorena also highlights how X-Men takes on bigger issues, setting them apart from the Avengers. X-Men has been a torchbearer when it comes to promoting inclusivity and affecting culture. The focus of their storylines is the attitudes of humans towards mutants – whether accepting or hateful, adding more depth to the storyline.
Above all, Charles Xavier’s philosophy centres around mutual respect and peaceful co-existence. The X-Men team has always tried to stick to this ethos, save for a few exceptions. X-Men’97 recently confirmed character Morph as non-binary, reaffirming their commitment to diversity. Each character experiences real-life struggles and emotions, making them more relatable to viewers.
In a nutshell, The X-Men, despite Avengers’ stardom in MCU, holds its own as a standout among Marvel’s superhero teams. As MCU struggles currently, the seasoned X-Men narrative could potentially set things right.
