>I-it’s supposed to be bad
That is a complete strawman and you know it.
Honestly, we have this same discussion every time the X-men are brought up and honestly it is pathetic. It is the equivalent of "why doesn't someone just kill the Joker" shit. It is a meta narrative and not indicative of the stories themselves.
Pic related is X-Men 14. The allegory was there.
>in your efforts to genocide one race, you end up genociding your own
its like irony or something
If anything, the Ninja Turtles do the "shunned by humanity for being different" story better, because well, they're freaks of nature.
The whole point of the X-Men is to show the best in mutants, not necessarily be a representation of all mutants. Most mutants are normal people, some mutants are shunned like the Morlocks. Other mutants are hunted and killed for being different. So your whole idea that they "have their cake and eat it" is really bizarre. Yeah, X-Men are meant to be the best trained, good looking heroes saving the day. But they aren't all mutants.
>On a similar topic; what the fuck was Trask and the US government thinking with the Sentinel program? I get it, giant robots are cool, but billion dollar giant plastic automatons aren't exactly practical in an urban setting.
I'm betting MCU Sentinels will be much different
Can we talk about how this was one of the best depictions of "emotionless killer machines" in fiction?
Seriously, these guys were fucking scary and awesome.
It's partly because we see how efficient they are
Faceless unrelenting terminators are them at their best. Useless paper weights to get chewed up by Wolverine or pic related are why they have become pathetic.
(Actually I blame the cartoon for making them both kinda weak and a joke.)
Something about the voice of them in the cartoons makes them less scary and more silly.
Did Ultron ever improve or take advantage of the Master Mold design?
