The Politics of X2
Authored by Michael Pate on May 5th, 2003 at 5:48 PMRyan McGee is trying to draw a political between X2: X-Men United and the current politcal climate. It is kind of amusing to see where we have ended up. The plot of X2 was originally drawn from God Loves, Man Kills by Chris Clarement and Brent Anderson, although it was rather unrecognizable by the end. Personally, I thought it also borrowed from X-Men # 57-59 by Roy Thomas and Neal Adams. Like Stan Lee before them, Claremont and Thomas were drawing paralells to the civil rights movements. Now rather than standing for the liberation of an entire race unjustly persecuted, Ryan sees them as represending a poltical class whose feelings are currently hurt due mainly to the actions of some of it’s members.
