Status Updates From Marvel Masterworks: The X-M...

The dichotomy between the brotherhood’s vengeful desire to overpower and enslave humanity and the X-Men’s desire to save humanity and live alongside them is compelling.

It’s such a vast difference in Philosophy and are two very different reactions to their treatment by humans. There’s a lot of ways you can explore that dichotomy, which the x-Men franchise has been known to do.

Setting the X-Men home base in a boarding school creates a cozy and classic aura around their normal daily activities. It makes them seem civilized, intellectual, and intentional compared to the brotherhood’s ruggedness and chaotic dynamic.

While the X-Men banter and are playful with one another, the members of the brotherhood are completely self-focused with magneto being the only thing holding the together.
