Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains.

  No. It was you who said the X-Men were never about saving people. I said yes they did. Then you seemed to argue that because the main focus of the X-Men comics isn’t specifically saving people, they are not focused on that in the slightest.

  I agree they almost never talked about it in what I read of the original run, but that was the 60s. I’ve read plenty of X-Men comics (after the 70s reboot) where they arrive on scene and start saving people THEN focus on the bad guy.

  I’m just trying to say that they do save people. Yes, it’s not the main focus of the comic, but why would it be?
