ETA: To be on topic, the Coronavirus lockdown is going to mess with a lot of Marvel's plans BUT it could be good for things under low key development? Maybe it'll give Fiege and co a lot of thinking time on how the MCU pivots to have mutants and the F4 at its centre. Thor's already using Brood sharks and Falcon&Winter Soldier is using Madripoor.
Something I've always found appealing about the X-Men was exactly the diverse cast of characters from different countries, cultures and backgrounds, and the strong female characters. That’s something I loved as a kid and still do. However, I do have a problem with how inclusion and diversity are handled nowadays, in comics and other mediums, by incompetent so-called writers, adults who act like spoiled brats and attack anyone who dare disagree with their hypocritical political view. The problem isn’t diversity (that’s the whole core of the X-Men), it’s HOW it’s done for the past years.
This is exactly what’s happing now. A vocal minority of supposed progressives imposing their agendas on everyone else. It seems every character created as of late has to be diverse somehow. That's not even realistic. It really isn't diversity when almost no one can relate.
Mutants come from all over the world. How can they
not be diverse? If you mean there's a lot of non-heterosexual characters, there's been a huge attitude shift between my generation (early Millennial) and the people born 1998/99 onwards in terms of sexual and gender identity (and labels in general). I've been teaching undergraduate students for the past 5 years and young people are much less likely to apply the identity labels I would have worn at the same age. The vast majority of them are accepting of how everyone else chooses to present themselves, and if or when people change. The two biggest Cons in the UK- Thought Bubble and MCMLondon (rip for now)- are stuffed every year with young people from that same demographic, getting excited to meet creators who write characters who are like them. It's not only business sense to reflect those young people in the comics that Marvel puts out; it reflects the shifting demographics of the writers who are emerging as the hot talents of the industry, even if not all of those writers are not under 25.
Anyway, the diverse range of sexual/gender labels used by The Youth of Today used to really confuse me, but since spending the last five years teaching The Youth of Today they're actually a much cooler and more accepting group of people than my own cohort were. It's like Cure fans not understanding why people like Nirvana, or people my age not getting Ariana Grande. And the X-men are still very relevant to them.
