What is this show's obsession with mutant men?
What other plausible explanation is there for monsters within budget?
>>217346168Mutant men make their viewers horny
luv mutantsluv mensimple as
>>217346168It's a 90s thing. It was cheaper and easier to slap some prosthetics on a dude than CGI in monsters.Charmed, Buffy etc all did this.
Haha, wouldn't it be so weird to be a young mutant man who gets captured by the FBI. Haha, and Scully has to perform special tests on you, haha
>>217346168It's amusing how it never delves into cosmic horror stuff. Most of the monsters of the week are either basic mutants, or religious anomalies with devils and such.
>>217346168Its easy and cheap to film.
>>217346168The X-Files is a secret X-Men spin off.
mutant man of the week episodes were kino
>>217347241>X Files>X men>Both made by Fox = XWhat did they mean by this?
>as of right now I m refiling the X-opening
>>217346168One of the things that makes the show effectively creepy is that its monsters blend into normal society.
>>217347132the whole point was the plausibility from a scientific perspective.
>>217347132Cosmic horror doesn't leave Scully with much ground to stand on. With mutants, the writers can go "Oh, Chernobyl radiation caused this", "Oh, he's just massive sentient tumor", or "This is what happens after too much Inbreeding".Which is why, as good as Vince Gilligan's episodes normally are, I'm not a fan of the episode with the genie or the guy that can reshape reality. Too fantastical.Religion episodes somehow get a pass from me, because they tend to leave things ambiguous enough.
>>217347694But how do the X Games and X-treme Butter popcorn figure into this?
