Part 2/9:
The story gained significant traction after a report from Deadline suggested that Marvel Studios might reboot their X-Men franchise with a new title—The Mutants. This news has been met with swift and polarized reactions from fans and critics alike.
For many, the X-Men brand is inseparable from decades of rich storytelling, iconic characters, and cultural significance. Replacing it with The Mutants feels like a step backward, a move driven more by political correctness than storytelling integrity. Skeptics argue that the change reduces the franchise to a generic description rather than a powerful brand.
