Content warning: We discuss the sexual assault allegations against director Bryan Singer.
As adults in their late thirties all around the world gush about X-Men 97 on Disney Plus, we take a look back at a movie widely considered one of the high points of superhero cinema: 2003’s X2 (a.k.a. X-Men 2, a.k.a. X2: X-Men United).
We begin by unpacking our histories with the X-Men and comic books and superheroes in general, then take a look at the serious allegations against Bryan Singer.
We also talk a lot about how surprisingly resonant mutants as metaphor is, and how movingly this movie deals with the metaphor.
Next week: Cruel Intentions (1999)
