The Doom Patrol hits that plot point a lot harder than the X-Men. The tv series is excellent.

Seriously, how many of the mutants powers ever get explored for non-combat reasons? If this was just about adults, it’d be one thing, but this guy is in charge of children who are being kept away from their parents.

We do see glimpses here and there, but most of it takes background to the fighting, or is shortly ended because the school blew up, the rest of humanity ordered a genocide on all Mutants, and got caught in the crossfire, etc.

I feel like that X-Men could benefit from taking a leaf off of Transformers, and having a series set up after peace was made, when everyone's trying to readjust to peacetime, and deal with all of that.

But nope, in Storm’s eyes, Rogue is perfect just the way she is. As a living weapon.

In fairness, Storm is shown to be wrong in saying that there's nothing wrong with Rogue in the rest of the movie, and that she doesn't need to be cured.

I feel like having five dicks would be kind of cumbersome and much more difficult to use than just 1. Like, how do you aim when you pee?

They are mutants, so changing them into ordinary humans means at least re-writing all the cells in the body, which is way more drastic a change than what we now know as gender transition.

Especially as for some of them, their Mutations are required for them to be compatible with life. You can't meaningfully change that without risking death or serious injury.

It's also rarely shown with much nuance. The cure more or less ends up being portrayed as a way to eradicate Mutants entirely, with the implication that it'll be mandated, rather than as a way to improve quality of life for those with mutations that could harm it, like the one kid who destroyed all organic matter in the radius of a few kilometres, rather than a weaker one to limit a Mutation so it won't cause issues, or remove it if they want.

Look it's exceptionally bad, but it does have Gandalf politely rejecting wolverines offer of a free surgical examination.

Was it an option for Angel in that movie?

It's basically that, and Wolverine goes in because his regeneration keeps him alive

That's not even counting the guy that instantly dissolved everyone around him and the X-Men sent Logan to take him out.

Like Logan?
