>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
How about this? Mutants are liked at first and most people think they are cool until Magneto comes and fucks shit up for everyone.
>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.
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.
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.
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.
>using the gems to revive half of everyone left residual radiation
Done. Whatever they decide to use, anything more than this is overthinking it.
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.
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
