Going off memory is a funny thing.

Complaining about social diversity in the X-Men is like complaining about gore in evil dead.

The only difference is the term non binary wasn't around in the 90s. If the character now chooses to identify as non binary, what's the problem, especially considering his powers? This doesn't define his sexuality, only his gender, to which the he and other shapeshifters give the term gender bending a whole new meaning.

These conversations are messy because they get irony all over everything. Like, you could take the exact same complaints, and paste them into the convo's of the early 90's when people complained about how STAR TREK TNG, etc. were overly focused on representation. Or into the convo's of the late 60's when people were pearl-clutching over the first interracial kiss. And on. And on. And on. It's all of a type, and the type is 'stop changing the stuff from which I derive personal comfort.' And it's usually paired with, 'And it's NOT because I have anything against [black/gay/female/disabled/trans/nonbinary/etc] people. How dare you suggest otherwise!' The whole POINT of diversity in our media is that (1) our media should reflect the totality of our society and not just the experience of the people who are making the content and that (2) our media should normalize that which is normal but unfamiliar. Providing that our entertainment is first and foremost delivering high quality and engaging story-telling, then whenever people get hung up on these details, they're telling us that our entertainment is doing exactly what it should do.

To me the design of Morph was changed because that was what Morph looked like from Exsiles comic that was popular. I like the new look of Morph becuse I liked the comic.

I've loved X-Men for a long time, their stories and struggles are relatable for a lot of people. Comics should be for everyone. And I agree those spitting verbally they want to outcast and remove people of different backgrounds and experiences - those are the ones the X-Men fought so hard to find common ground, to fight for understanding and peace between mutants and humanity. And it's not just Mutants who get targeted by anti-mutant groups, it is also the humans who side with Mutants who get attacked and treated harshly. Not sure such issues will ever be sorted, but that doesn't mean those fighting for peace (like the X-Men) should stop their efforts. With the struggle and the need to fight for what they believe in - it remains relatable. I loved the original cartoon, looking forward to see if the new one is gonna be good.

@@AdamSummers-wj9vwnon binary people still existed in 1997 dude and plenty of people don’t discover things about themselves until later on in their life. Why can’t Morph being non binary just be a continuation of Morph’s journey?

One could say the wokeness wave approach is more akin of Magneto and the Brotherhood’s approach to forcing a new mutant superiority on the majority of the populace. There’s tons of subtext for this in the films. “We’re the future Charles, not them.” The outcasts of yesteryear came about organically over decades of varying levels of pop culture/experience. Most of this is coming down from on high from corporations. Feels like astroturf instead of grassroots. It’s the heavy handed delivery of these concepts that most people push back against. The sales numbers show that the public thinks this shit is moving too fast. The Xmen were a liaison between humans and mutants, so they would’ve practiced some diplomacy for both parties. We would have naturally worked out these demographic differences peacefully and over time had things not been so accelerated. These corporations want your money. They don’t care about anyone’s identity or movement as long as they can milk you ✌️

People complaining about diversity in a show about the hate mutants (aka..people that are different) receive from humans that hate diversity is crazy to me...and this show/comic was never for them anyways...

I dont care for when characters, long standing characters are gender swapped or their sexual orientation is changed for the sake of reaching different demo's (i personally think new heroes should be created for that).

Next, people will complain about creators cutting off Bishop's dredlocks.

Loved Campea but RMB's take was not good; with his rationale then Storm and Bishop are taking the focus off 'real minorities' because they're black or Roberto Afro-Latinx-which is something they actually addressed head on in One Mans Worth from the first series. Letting others share their experiences isn't limiting, its actually the opposite and lets others try to understand and empathize with their plights. I think what you're missing is your own relatability and thats probably because, like most youtube talking heads like RMB are expecting every character to represent them, as if others don't exist with some sorta main character complex.

Guys, the reason people are complaining about Morph is cause its the 90s. Terms like Non Binary, gender fluid, a sexual, omni sexual, they/them and etc did not exist in 90s. If this was a new adaption set in modern times, yes, ok, morph being non binary in 2024, ok, no problem with that. BUT THIS IS X MEN 97.

I personally hate gender race swapping in comic properties. The Morph change however is perfectly fine. It makes complete sense with his powerset. He can be man or woman at anytime. If they are going to make a random change that's the best one to do.

I'm just tired of Marvel changing characters that have been around for 20,30 plus years. Does anybody remember what they did to Iceman in the comics 10 years ago. They completely changed him and made him gay after 50 plus years in the comics being straight, having dated Polaris and Rogue for a short time. I don't care if they create a new character and make them any form of LGBTQ, but quit changing existing characters.

And that is my biggest thing with all of this hatred for all LGBTQ people…why can’t you just let people live their life. Not everything movie, game, show, character etc has to be a representation of you. There are plenty of cartoons where this isn’t the case why not go watch one of them if it bugs you that bad. Now if they made every character on the show LGBTQ I myself would be a bit confused by that choice. But it is only Morph a character that nobody really truly cares about or remembers all that much. So I think this was a good way to complete the diversity of the original X-Men cartoon.

Yeah, the characters of the X-men have always been an allegory for the outcasts. There’s some creative nuance in that. But you lose that when you come out and plainly state it. It becomes blatant the political and social issues you’re dealing with and can feel too on the nose. Plus when studio heads or creators state it, it automatically feels like pandering corporate speak rather than genuine. But I do think it’s fitting for the character. Either way, I still hope the new series is great.

It's dishonest to present this as "people are mad there's a non-binary character in this show" and labeling them as "bigots". The reality is Morph was not non-binary previously, and people don't want retcons to a character. They could have just changed how he looked (as they did) and it would be enough to annoy people. Predictably, now they are using it as a story element of "Actually he and Wolverine may be more than friends the whole time" because we all know you can't just be friends with anyone in a platonic manner these days. It's clear that they are using this to bait people into talking about the show more, and that they are looking for ESG points. Many people are tired of seeing properties leveraged for the sake of companies at the expense of the original continuity. Now, if something goes wrong with the show, they can use Morph's non-binary title as a shield and say "it's because evil bigots who used to watch the show learned nothing and are the actual enemy." Just because an original creator decides to retcon something doesn't make it less of a retcon.

@frstnmlstnm8484 Yes good point, and some people don't mind while other people do. Personally, I don't really care about this, but it's been such a "big controversy," and I wanted to mention why some people who don't like it are not automatically "bigoted". It's not impossible to think that some people may be, but others just don't like continuity changes.
