I'm not sure why people hate the Wolverine movie so much. I mean, it was super-duper fluffy and pointless, and I guess it changed Deadpool's origin, maybe, but it wasn't nearly as faily as X3 or XMFC. I thought it was pretty forgettable.
Yeah, IDK. I mean, X-Men as an allegory has been vastly vastly important to many people I know who are in those actual minorities...yet at the same time it does not hold up well on examination. But I think XMFC (and X3) went places with it that are extra problematic. I don't know what to think at this point.
