Were the X-Men ever meant to represent the LGBTQ community or the Civil Rights movement?

Join Darby as we look into the deeper meanings behind the X-Men series, both in comics and movies. With the resurgence of X-Men ‘97 on Disney+, there's been renewed interest in the themes and characters of this iconic franchise. In this video, we explore how the X-Men represent various marginalized groups, the complexities of their metaphors, and why their stories resonate with so many.

We also discuss the controversial reboot, initial reactions to X-Men ‘97, the portrayal of iconic characters like Nightcrawler, and the challenges and trials of Magneto. We're also going to explain the Marvel Civil War comic and breakdown why the X-Men are absent, and more! Tune in for a thought-provoking analysis and let us know if we should dive into more X-Men content!
