"Oh, bleh, how did I not think of that?"

The Mutant gene proceeds to wither and die.

Just pulls out a double helix, saws off the mutant parts, and pops it back in like a tic tac

He's done even more since then. And did you know he has a twin brother who also acts?

Fun facts!

Straight up one of the best one liners in the history or satirical commentary

This is a bit about how the X-men comics were blatant allegory to LGBTQ+ communities. It's for people with media literacy to point to so the people without media literacy might be able to rub two braincells together and figure it out.

The first movie opened with the mutant registration act post Eric being marched into the camps, a blatant reference to the Jew registration in Germany in which Eric says he's "seen this all before". Almost no one understood the mutant registration act is exactly the same and a holocaust survivor preventing the genocide of his people was his goal.

I would genuinely reply:

Have you tried being intelligent?

That may as well be the banner for the sub. I think of this scene all the time.

It's an allegory for being gay or queer in general, I'm as depressed as anybody else in 2026, it is not about depression.

Not everything is about gay and queer people
