If Marvel cares so much about diversity why did they cancel X men instead of pushing them as hard as they possibly can?

I've always wondered why the mutants don't address current social politics?

Like where's #MutantLivesMatter vs #AllLivesMatter? Where's J Jonah Jameson calling them menaces and then having to apologize and say his best friend is mutant? Where's Wanda and Pietro getting shit from people for being "token" mutants on the Avengers?

Movies rights, famalamb.

They're trying to make Inhumans the new X-men and failing terribly.

Because 98% of X-Men are white and straight?

Completely agree
There's no way Bendis and co can make Medusa look cool

Read the first x men comics they adressed alot of prejudice that was happening during that time

It's not about "PC" diversity, it's about differences. All kinds of differences.
The X-Men aren't just different from normal people, they're also different from each other.
Each mutation is personal and distinctive.
Some of the mutations are clearly about racial or cultural distinctions, the cast of Giant-Sized X-Men #1 was obviously about that but characters like the (again obvious) dominatrix Emma Frost or the transparent, awkward, and disgusting Glob Herman are about sexuality.
Jubilee wasn't about racism, she was about having such a boisterous "sparkling" personality that it annoys and alienates others. The character "M" is the girl who's "perfect" and is justifiably hated for it. The indecisive Multiple Man is all over the place. The dystopian cop Bishop would take whatever was thrown at him, store it, and throw it back at someone when his job called for it.
Marvel comics deals with IRL issues about race and society in other non-metaphor ways in other books, The X-Men books are about the individual metaphors. They're going at these things in more personal levels.

Good post

>during that time

Can you read? I said CURRENT. Yes, racism and shit still exists, but current social and identity politics is a whole different ballgame from the MLK era.

My bad senpai

I forgive you

Bump

>first, meh, what?
>than, mhhhh, you are right

they don't want to hand Fox any more stories they can work with for free, it's as simple as that.

The director avoids the source material like the plague

they built their own brand with it and developed characters into different directions. do you think it's more fruitful for them to base their characters on recent character developments in comics or on how they developed the characters in the movies?
and a good comic book story doesn't automatically make a good movie story because the comics weren't written with movie scripts in mind (eh, readers?).
it's enough to "base" it on the comics though so Marvel/Disney ask themselves "why hand Fox any more inspiration for their movies, of which we only see a fraction of profits if we can do our own shit with 100% of profits?"

And if you say, the director(s?) would really avoid the source material like the plague, why was the last movie called Age of Apocalypse (after an original X-Men story), or the movie before that "Days of Future Past" (after an original X-Men story)? Wouldn't they have created new content with original characters instead?
Oh yeah, they haven't.

Its disneys desire to push down the price of the licence vs marvels desire to be sjws

They lost the rights.

>humans take down a mutant committing a crime
>Magneto incites a mutant riot by convincing them that it was unjustified

More importantly why would you have political issues addressed in comics? Or any other creative medium?

I've been out of the loop since whatever that terrible Phoenix arc was. Why do the inhumans hate the x-men now? Other than editorial pressure.

Please read Inhumans.

Please die Alonso.

But its just like the Xmen you loved.
In Inhuman form.
We have mists and stuff.

Don't push your luck.

Fuck off, Alonso and/or Perlmutter.

Good post, but after all these years mutants should be tolerated more than they used to be while the X-Men should show people that mutants are someone you'd like to work and live alongside with.

But nope, let's instead do a series of events that would screw over mutants even more and add Inhumans that most people dislike. Especially after the whole mist thing and how they are acting currently.

Now I'm curious. One user a couple of days ago wondered what would've happened if the whole Terrigen Mist created an Inhuman that was after the blood of the royal family and Attilan in general.

The reason? The Inhuman's kid was a mutant that died from the disease that came with the mist and couldn't do anything about it because he was at this point cocooned. And that's just the Inhumans. He'd also be out for mutant and human blood for obvious reasons.

They don't care about diversity, they just use it as a marketing gimmick. The X-Men's film rights are not owned by Marvel therefore they're useless as marketing gimmicks.

Also the X-Men are *too* diverse in the sense that they come from not only different ethnicities, but different backgrounds, classes, regions, religions and political beliefs. (Which is why a roomful of "white" characters can be more diverse than a multicolored group, if there's more of those other kinds of diversity.) Marvel doesn't care about any of those things. They want characters to look different but think the same.

Nah something like this would happen for #BlackLivesMatter for X-Men.

Kamala fights a mutant who is being attacked and/or stopping an attack by an Inhuman. The gas cloud is coming around and this mutant doesn't know that it kills/sterilizes mutants.

She hits them into the cloud that kills them with the emancited face like Death of X.

Inhuman still rampages and possibly kills a few humans but Kamala was too busy fighting the mutant to stop the deaths.

She stops the Inhuman or causes it to flee but several humans and that mutant are dead.

Someone captures the event on their cell phone and uploads it to the internet.

The wonkiness of people knowing about Inhumans vs Mutants, though hoping they do by this time since Medusa went public comes into play. Some see the cloud as a blessing against the mutant menace and "GasTheMutants" becomes a new slogan with them taking Kamala's face as their poster child. Others mutant or not see Kamala being so busy protecting the Inhuman over human lives as her having an agenda where Inhumans come first before her being a hero and she was being some form of racist to kill and gas the mutant before saving civilians.

Now you have Race War Now with Kamala's Face on the "GasEmAll" and One of The Good One's/Dindu Nuffin Mutant on the other side.

Magneto tunes in and sees the coverage of this and it could go either way. He could actually believe that Kamala has an agenda being Inhuman and incites the mutants and humans who sympathize with them to riot against the unjustified murder of both the mutant and how the Inhuman got away scot free for killing humans too. The other is that he really doesn't care in a personal sense but uses the opportunity to press his anti-Inhuman agenda and play the holocaust card by showing this is what Inhumans do. They come in and take over areas for themselves, everyone else comes second to them, and they are enacting a genocide/holocaust against mutants. Bonus points if Jew vs Muslim plug.

Dude, user. Thanks for the research. I started this thread wondering if Marvel has ever directly said the X-Men aren't going to receive the same push as other characters they actually own the movie rights for. All I ever saw were bleedingcool articles, and Johnston isn't the most reliable source. But I appreciate the business insider link especially. Thanks!

Take my motherfucking money

>but after all these years mutants should be tolerated more than they used to be
Humanity has a hard enough time tolerating someone for having their own skin color. Why would the average joe tolerate a kid that throws lightning bolts from his ass?
