Some of the responses in this topic really making Magneto look right.

"The X-Men aren't marginalized because they have powers!"

Yeah and using those powers would be considered criminal in most cases. If you're going around and intentionally melting people's faces, the government is going to have you killed, not give you human rights.

And as stated for every mutant with strong powers there's a hundred with weak/pointless/actively detrimental powers.

The X-men are depicted as marginalized, but it's weird that they're depicted that way. People with those powers would probably more likely get an MCU experience: a lot would be celebrities, or tech giant CEOs, many could make bank with their powers in a capitalist society, most dictators would be extremely powerful mutants, there'd be a shit ton of mutants within the wealthiest 1%.

Captain America, Spiderman, and Batman have all had recent movie plotlines of being a wanted criminal because they're vigilantes operating outside the justice system. But when that same plotline happens to the X-men, it's supposed to mean a different thing, and the analogy they're trying to make doesn't really hold.
