The thematic core of ‘X-Men’ is tolerance. It’s that for those of us who are different in any way – in a big way, whether it’s you’re a minority, you’re a woman, you’re a Muslim, you are suppressed or marginalized – it can go the whole spectrum – but even if you are shy or you feel like an outsider – and X-Men are outsiders.
