It’s a freakin’ comic book!
You think it’s easy being a superhero? Hah! If only it were just a matter of saving the world, yeah, sure, they can handle that. But all this other stuff–! Like for instance:

Alas, the X-Men have been told their name is obsolete. They were good enough to let a bunch of female superheroes into their club, and by including them, they laid themselves open to being called uninclusive. So Marvel Comics’ executive vice president says the X-Men brand is outdated. Looks like they’re gonna need a new one.
“X-Persons”? Wow, doesn’t that have a ring to it!
And I just thought of another promble with “X-Men.” What if somebody who doesn’t know comic books should hear that as “Ex-men”? They might think “former men.” Trannies, maybe.
How about “X-Bipeds”? Or “X-Living Organisms”? Nah, not inclusive enough.
Ooh-ooh, I’ve got it! The new name for the X-Men!
Brand X.
There! Absolutely can’t beat that. Problem solved!
There’s lots of actual problems in the world, but a comic book isn’t one of them. This is Marxist thinking, all things MUST be equal. It has infected the Western world through Political Correctness.
Yeah! The only way we can have Diversity is if everybody’s exactly alike!
They can’t separate fantasy from fiction, even in their PC imaginary paradise.
Does it seem to you that the superhero field is getting rather crowded?
Actually, I think that Superman was plenty. 🙂
It’s getting easier to find a superhero than to find a plumber. A superhero who could unclog your pipes would make a fortune.
What gets me is that every stinkin’ movie is based on comic book superheroes.
On May 14, 1994, Hollywood ran out of ideas. They haven’t had a new once since.
Is that date significant of a specific movie?
I don’t rightly know. I wanted to sound authoritative. I just so flamin’ tired of comic book movies–and I don’t even watch them!
Same here. I watched the Batman movie of the nineties and, perhaps saw a couple of others, but none of them impressed me in the slightest.
The very first Superman movie was really kind of good. Then the goodness stopped.
I agree.
Liberals…ruin everything
It wouldn’t take much to ruin the superhero business.
That’s true
They’re like the Taliban, they destroy art and culture replacing it with their own.
They are like the Taliban, much more stylish ones, but Taliban they are
