So heres the thing anons, nobody likes mutants and their mythos, especially in the comics where it was weird where mutants are universally hated but then you have other super hero families/corps, so in all of their appearances, they have two defining qualities
>nobody likes them >they have powers
and the only way for them to be introduced in the MCU, is for them to come off-world/off-reality, they should be refugees of another reality where everyone in 616 doesnt want them and doesnt have anything to feed them, they will be the minority, the great thing about this is we can stil lhave original actors for the X-men, especially x-23.
a good way for this is the introduction of galactus, a universe eating threat
Galactus isn't a threat, he's a part of life, like really bad rain or an earthquake
Angel Morales
Psychic abilities and spontaneous over powered teenagers should be enough to differentiate X-men stuff from Avengers stuff. Charles and Emma blanked the world so that we can get the brain cooking hypocrisy of parents who are angry they don't remember having the mutant child they hated and tried to cure.

>especially in the comics where it was weird where mutants are universally hated but then you have other super hero families/corps the thing with the mutants is that they are a fuckton, are really dangerous and no all of them are good basically. They are a generic hated minority controlled by the government. >they should be refugees of another reality Nope, you have the refugees allegory with the Asgardians, introduce the Fox actors could fuck the pull of characters that they could use and the histories they want to tell, if some of them have long cotracts they should go to another ip inside the MCU or Disney, Nobody needs Laura/Daken/Old Man Logan etc... in the MCU. Galactus should be introduced in GotG, Thor 4 or Fantastic Four
Mason Hughes
No that's dumb. It's easier to explain mutie hatred in MCU than in comics. 'Thanos did it'. The same force that was responsible for killing half of everyone is responsible for mutants (albeit unintentionally, as a side effect - the mass energy release activated latent mutations - but ordinary people don't know if it was on purpose or not). Conspiracy theories spread, religions claim mutations are the mark of the beast, etc. People can still love ordinary superheroes buecause they were the ones who fought Thanos. They're just deceived by the mutants and need to be woke up.

Cooper Cook
Mutants can be anybody. Normal Heroes + Villains number in the thousands at best.
Luke Brooks
I think the only way for mutants to work in MCU is if they have a ton of bad mutants doing bad shit all over the place, not just run through them villain of the week style
hell, magneto + apocalypse + a couple others by themselves could easily make mutants as a whole reviled altogether if handled correctly
it'll be the most delicate integration the MCU has ever attempted by far however, and I think it's extremely likely they'll end up fucking it up more than not
Brody Wilson
here's an idea, make age of apocalypse happen for real, like full on fuck up the timeline and make the world a terrible dystopia
then when it's eventually corrected, have everyone somehow remember it or be made aware of it, and that's something mutants as a species will probably never live down
Leo Garcia
The side effect of tampering with the stones that created Mutants thanks to the Tesseract. I mean shield was making weapons based on the Tesseract technology. What is not to stop Magneto from being created thanks to the Nazis experimenting on him by exposing him to the Space Stone?

>the great thing about this is we can stil lhave original actors for the X-men, especially x-23.
oh yes let's have more Game of Thrones refugees shitting the place up with their non-careers
better yet let's get Stephen Amell to play Wolverine, people love him right
Landon Sanders
How about this? Mutants are liked at first and most people think they are cool until Magneto comes and fucks shit up for everyone.
Jeremiah Rogers
>especially in the comics where it was weird where mutants are universally hated but then you have other super hero families/corps,
Superhero identify themselves as heroes first and superhumans second. Mutants identify themselves as mutants first and heroes second.
Mason Murphy
Mutants awaken all over the world and there aren't enough heroes to contain the ones who become criminals.
>Magneto fucking building up his power-base and screwing up Germany occasionally getting into Turf Wars with Dr. Doom >Not a mutant but Dr. Doom carving out his territory in Eastern Europe >The X-men are too busy dealing with Hellfire Academy to deal with larger threats >The Avengers aren't really a thing anymore (Hulk/Cap/Hawkeye are retired, BP is trying to get Wakanda in order, Spiderman is on the run, Captain Marvel is in Space. The only members are Winter Soldier (still has mental conditioning issues), Roadie (paralyzed legs and who probably can't do the upkeep on his Stark-tech suit with stark dead), Ant-man and the Wasp (both genuinely useful) and Falcon (the New cap will need some re-training) >Silver Samura, Lady Deathstrike and some others take control of the power vacumn caused by Hawkeye killing a bunch of Yakuza >Africa has to deal with Genosha Basically even with the Snap undone the world's ending.
Landon Morris
Mutants don't work because there's always an agenda contaminating the story. Good fiction stimulates your imagination first, and then maybe inspires you to think about something real. Propaganda fiction strangles your imagination and tells you what to think. This may work in fiction set in real world, where you just present a version of reality and advocate morality you want to promote, but it doesn't work in fantasy/sci-fi when someone tries to stretch allegory and real world morality onto something that doesn't fit.
Austin Rivera
Add one or two mutant supremacists, and you're set. Regular heroes won't get the hate because they're not born with their powers, and a good portion of them are just aliens/regular people anyway.
Ethan Moore
>using the gems to revive half of everyone left residual radiation Done. Whatever they decide to use, anything more than this is overthinking it.
Cooper Morales
Psychic powers are over powered. Have an entire battle where you win and live a long happy life only to wake up at death and discover Professor X went evil this past weekend and decided to neutralize you. The other thing being the nonsense relationships between parents and children that mutant hate also represents. Oedipal and Shakespearean.
Parker Morgan
There's two ways I can see mutants introduced in the MCU. First, which I think is most likely is the mutant phenomena is going to be just started after the initial snap. The issue with mutants is that, it's not like they're gonna pop up and people immediately be like. "wtf where all theses fucking muties come from?" There is no concept of mutants in the world, so when they see mutants, they're going to think they're all unrelated. It's not going to be until mutant population reaches critical mass, or a scientist discovered the X-Gene. By the time that happens, we can have thousands of mutants in the world, which imo is enough to make a movie on.
Second is a small percentage of people who came back from the snap came back as mutants

From a citizen’s perspective, superheroes are often saving the day while mutants are either terrorists or their power is manifesting in some wild way and blowing up a town
