Why we are all X-MEN Politically...

"There's always suspicion of large organizations in immense amounts of power," says X-Men screenwriter Simon Kinberg. "Whether it's a corporation or a government, or an evil society of mutants. Especially when they are all working together."

 First CBM.com posting ever, be kind and comment!


When you grow up with comics books as  your baseline for right, wrong, justice, and light how do you see the world as an adult. Reason Magazine, a Libertarian publication, posted a very interesting take on how the same themes of the Xmen Universe are prevelant in our world as seen through the eyes of Simon Kinberg. 

"Kinberg explains how the character and plot developments in the X-Men series parallel some real-world themes like xenophobia, individuality, and government programs gone awry. "You have sort of the whole pantheon of human experience," says Kinberg. "

Personally, i tend to agree. Right and Wrong are usually pretty clear when you say "What would Cap do?" and the social implications of the X-men are more relevant today then ever. Checkout the video below and sound off in the comments....

Interesting..i don't disagree with your philosophy, but people don't know where spiderman came from..Totally get you on Cap. They wouldnt understand what MsMarvel, Spidey, or imagine Thor (a god, the religious right would stay up in arms)...
