#an R rating. and i really dont think theyd make an X-Men production like that

I kinda get why X-2 changed Stryker from a religious zealot to a fed considering this was made after 9/11 and this kind of critique of the government doing insanely evil shit for the sake of national security was very common and relevant at the time, but it really reduces the impact of the God Loves, Man Kills storyline.

As great as it is, I don't know if you could really adapt that nowadays without some major changes (Kitty's N-word line, even if you understand the context of WHY she's saying it and how it is meant to be uncomfortable and fucked up to say, is something I really don't think you could get away with portraying verbatim). Also for content rating purposes, I don't know how your average producer for Disney-Marvel would be willing to show the opening scene of two Black mutant children being lynched on a playground either
