Queer Atmospheres

10 years ago, X-Men: First Class brought the seemingly dead franchise back to life. After the critically panned X-Men: The Last Stand five years prior, many wondered if the series could ever bounce back from it’s failures. To acquire viewers and long-time fans back on board, Matthew Vaughn injected life assist into the franchise, and along with this being came queerness. While you may know the X-Men franchise as being overtly queer now, before First Class, any subtext was driven out to center on the (ridiculous) cherish triangle between Wolverine, Jean Grey and Cyclops. The chemistry between the newcomers was undeniable, and with the help of lgbtq+ Tumblr users (hi!), the X-Men franchise was reborn as the queer series we now love.

Alex Summers and Armando Muñoz (Darwin) are two dudes who Professor X and Magneto recruit to connect their team of mutants in When First Class premiered, yes, I was s

Gay-Coding and Magneto

I think one thing that’s definitely absorbing is the colour scheme - he wears glowing pink and/or purple. Now, in-universe that’s not so wild, because let’s be real, most heroes and villains in comic books dress pretty outrageously - in fact, Mags is actually rather subtle compared to some of the 90s’ characters. no one really comments on his style in-universe either.

Longtime comic fans appreciate to joke that deaths in super hero comics has become meaningless.

However there is an argument to be made that both the death and the destined revival can and will still have impact if both feel "earned".

Meanwhile revival of characters shouldn&#;t feel "mundane", because even if the reader doesn&#;t take their deaths serious anymore, the characters very adv should act enjoy they believe their demise could be final. As such their revival needs to either last a "miracle" involving difficult to redo circumstances, events or actions they could have not forseen, or it needs to be a major struggle, if not for them then the characters bringing them back.

Considering Magneto recent death can be considered "earned", this story now needs to land the

Summary

Xavier and Magneto's complex bond is X-Men's defining relationship.
X-Men '97's season finale explores the depths of Xavier and Magneto's complex relationship by proving that no one understands or loves Magneto more than Xavier.
Xavier and Magneto's friendship is a nuanced love story, no matter how often they get ideological enemies.

Boil X-Men down to its heart, and the ensemble drama has always been about two people: Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr. Even before comics writer Chris Claremont dramatically reinterpreted the latter's backstory and thereby enriched the character, Magneto and Professor X's constant ideological conflict defines X-Men's overarching narrative. Theirs is the defining tragedy of a tableau filled with soap opera theatrics, that of old friends who share the same vision, as well as a doomed inevitability on par with mutually assured destruction
