>Drop the race analogy and just go generic outsider type of stuff
>Race and politics can be touched on tastefully (impossible in the modern era) but the series should maintain focus on stories/characters
>Cut the mutant population significantly
>Maintain actual rivalries and don't go over board with mutants forgiving each other for fucked up shit to stick it to humans
>Up the sci-fi elements of the series, have them go out into space more like the War of Kings storyline and Astonishing

.What about non mutant superpower people in mutant or X-Men base comics should we try and get everyone more consistent when the X-Men are in non X-Men books or when non X-Men are in X-Men books?

>>150527271
>How would you fix X-Men ?
By cancelling X-Men until the entire fandom die of old age.
The characters just stop appearing.
All mutants outside of the X-books get retconned into having some other reason why they've got powers. Maybe some of the X-book waifus get salvaged that way.

Maybe decades from now they can try X-Men again when everyone who wants it to be like it is has departed this life.

The only inconsistency I need fixed is the general public hating the X-Men. Establish that the only heroes that are beloved are the Avengers and the F4. Every other hero has just as many people paranoid of them as the X-Men do. Also really hammer home the point that people are specifically fearful of mutants because of how uncontrollable their powers are and focus on mutants who's powers are legitimately an issue in day to day life. Cyclops needing special lenses, angel having no way to hide his wings, and maybe just in general work into the lore that Xavier is almost always subtlety helping most students control their powers thorough his own

Focus what angle you want for them. If you're going to make them a civil rights allegory, actually push them in a direction where they're actively working to fix their public image. If they're a body rights/disability thing, focus on how mutants work to overcome those issues and their relationship with the medical industry. If they're a next-gen focused group, focus on the kids and what they're going through instead of just leaving them an afterthought in the books. If they're a superhero group, make them a superhero group.

Just don't jampack all this shit into the same book. Once upon a time you could easily balance all of them, but Marvel's talents are unable to so much as pick their noses without jamming their fists straight up. So just pick a single theme and focus on that shit first before doing anything more complicated. Walk before you try running again. And if you can't do even that, just focus on the superhero angle. Make them people that people want to see succeed in saving others instead of rolling their eyes at with all their bitching and moaning.

Deport them all to space
Or drop them in a post-apoc universe

The 4chan thread titled “How would you fix X-Men?” features a range of opinions from users on how to improve the X-Men franchise. Here are the key ideas discussed:

Core Suggestions for Fixing X-Men
Drop the race allegory: One user suggests moving away from using mutants as a metaphor for race and instead focusing on them as general outsiders.

Streamline mutant population: Reduce the number of mutants to make stories more manageable and character-driven.

Reinforce rivalries: Avoid overused forgiveness arcs among mutants; maintain tension and conflict.

Boost sci-fi elements: Emphasize space adventures and cosmic storylines, referencing arcs like War of Kings and Astonishing X-Men.

Thematic Focus
Pick one core theme: Whether it's civil rights, disability, youth, or superheroism, users argue that the franchise should commit to a single thematic lens rather than trying to juggle too many at once.

Public perception of mutants: Some want clearer world-building around why mutants are feared—e.g., uncontrollable powers like Cyclops’ optic blasts or Angel’s visible wings.

Radical Opinions
Cancel the franchise: One user provocatively suggests ending X-Men entirely until the fanbase ages out, then rebooting decades later.

Deport mutants to space or post-apocalyptic settings: A more tongue-in-cheek take on refreshing the narrative by radically changing the setting.

Cross-title consistency
Fix character overlap: Address inconsistencies when X-Men characters appear in non-X-Men titles and vice versa, especially regarding how the public reacts to them.

The overall tone is a mix of frustration, satire, and genuine creative brainstorming. Many users feel the franchise has lost focus and needs a clearer identity to thrive again.

Would you want to explore how these ideas could translate into a fanfic AU or a reboot concept? I think your world-building instincts could really shine here.

Find good writers.

I have a way to make it work, but I may end up using it, so I'm not going to say anything.

I seen a bunch of people do or maybe the same guy a few times the Spider-Man one where they make a thing about how to fix Spider-Man so I decided there's problems with the X-Men stories now and days maybe I could do the same thing for the X-Men and then I guess a third person decided to do Batman since he saw Spider-Man and X-Men.

>Address the metaphor and make mutation a modifier for identity and not a replacement.
>Focus on "human" (IE actual relatable situations and motivations) stories along with the wild adventures
>More mutant villains
>More mixed mutant/human bad guy teams
>Have the X-men deal with more weird shit that is below the Avengers but much bigger than any solo act
>Less new young mutants
>More short tightly paced mini arcs

Are you training an AI on /co/ or could you just not follow this thread on your own? God help the AI if you're training it on this place.

They are used to their characters trying to shit on other heroes and parts of Marvel so they can't take it when it's dished back plus project their victim complex on characters who wallow in it
