Might be interesting for those who are familiar with this, I offer no opinion since I am not a fan, though my daughter can wait to see it.
This, Marvel, is how you introduced mutants, the most interesting, varied and socially relevant characters in all of superhero comics, to the MCU: You took their founder, whose message of peaceful coexistence is often compared to that of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and snapped his neck right in front of us. Not only that, you had him killed by Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, who in the comic books was responsible for the total decimation of mutants and also mutant storylines for over a decade.
The thing is, the murder of Professor X and the other Illuminati doesn’t even make sense. These are seven characters who defeated Thanos by themselves. They’ve had the existence of their entire universe threatened by the incursion of another universe—enjoy the next 10 years of stories, MCU Fans!—and survived. But supposedly they’re not capable of handling one crazy magician?
