Not a guy, tho, so she'd be insufficient.

I guess Homelander works in that scenario.

I remember reading something a few years back that many right-wing viewers didn't realize that Homelander was actually a villain.

Yeah, I imagine that number has probably grown.

Like those who watched Colbert's old show and thought he was a straight up O'Reilly type. Which is remarkably dense on so many levels. But then Archie Bunker proved to be appealing to a lot of viewers, to the surprise of the writers.

There's something very creepy about Jeffy's observation. Maybe it's that I hear him speaking without inflection, like Regan telling the astronaut he's going to die up in space.

When in doubt, always go for the monsters.

The 60s were truly amazing.

So since the X-Men '97 cartoon premiered (and well before, really), online X-fandom has been overtaken by a (perhaps not so) baffling influx of dudes complaining about how the X-Men have become woke, people that largely think (or at least claim to think) that the comic/cartoon was only ever about fighting robots and nothing deeper (never mind what the robots were built for), and very recently, people cheering on the X-Cutioner in his bid to kill mutants in order to preserve humanity. It's been weird.

I can't believe comic book fans are that oblivious, but I can buy that the Very Online kind are. Like, Christ, the X-Men was never subtle about it social commentary almost from the start. Yes, and Planet of the Apes is just about talking gorillas on horses.

I think there's probably a large number of Comicsgate people whose adherence to EVS and his ilk might have made their brains melt enough that they forgot the entire point of X-Men, but I agree it's probably mostly people who watched the cartoon and didn't think much about what they were looking at.

Now, this Apes thing...

Aside: My favourite odd dialogue from the original cartoon:
Scott: I love you, Jean.
Jean: I love you, too, Cyclops.

I love you so much, I'll use your superhero name, even tho you used my real name.

To be fair, her superhero name at the time was "Jean Grey."

Then he should have said "Jean Grey." Which would have added to the awkwardness of two people who claimed to love each other, but would have added some consistency.

I remember, tho, back in the 90s, The Boss always laughed at Wolverine's rather desperate cries of "Jean!"
