You know as time goes on, I begin to side with Trask more and more about the "mutant problem"...

>2099 is
a Cyberpunk hellscape
>Mutant Futures
You mean the ones that are about hunting down mutants?
>where is the Sentinel program strictly a mutant deterrent?
That's what Trask built them for/used them as

I don’t see why they should be. The entire concept’s wasted on bland bullshit. At this point I may just keep my ideas and create my own thing to pass the time.

You have to remember it was originally 5 characters at a school, and they pretty much were superhero misfits. Well that, and arguably a Doom Patrol ripoff but that's another topic entirely. As time went on mutants got more freakish, while also growing in number thus watering down the concept

Claremont’s Allegory fucked up the whole thing, but he wrote some good stuff that the title improved, the 90s turned them into superstars, and then Morrison came and just nuked them.

>Claremont’s Allegory fucked up the whole thing
The allergory existed since their conception.

>They want to both have their cake and eat it too. Your characters can’t be overpowered supermodels yet be allegories for ghettoniggers.
You seem to miss the part where it is a superhero comic.

Nope. It was a case of nuclear fear, not “Muh niggers”. Because sure, when I look at a hot redhead who can move things with her mind, I’m reminded of “oppressed minorities”.

>I-it’s supposed to be bad
Great argument there. It could’ve been a superhero comic with a more fitting approach to the core concept.

So like, finding a way to cure mutants or killing them? Because they manifest at like puberty and I would feel bad about killing a kid

I sympathise with him wanting mutants curbed.
Where he lost me however is the Sentinel program. In an effort to curb one problem, you end up damning ALL LIFE ON EARTH in the bad future, and the mutants were the LAST REMAINING SURVIVORS in that scenario.
