The Mutants
In X2, the second movie of the X-Men Saga, there is a key issue brought up in which would normally be a simple good guys vs. bad guy's Marvel movie. There is a genetic issue of should we try to rid society of people that are different from us. The United States government attacks the mutant school where people are trying to learn how to control their powers and use them for good. In X-Men there is a geneticc change, and some people end up being born mutants. Society shuns them away as "monsters", and parents hope that their children never become mutants. Although Wolverine does not really exist, why should we try to get him out of our society if he does not pose any danger to us. I also think the X- Men Saga relates to race in a way, because the movie has a purpose of treating everybody equally no matter what their differences are.
In this movie the "mutants" who are truly people that are born with a special gift are not seen as humans. I believe in this movie the definition of human is somebody that resembles you, and does not have anything different or what would be seen as "weird" to other people. The images in this movie show us that we should treat the different people in society fairly because they have done nothing wrong to earn your hostility.
