Comment on George Takei (TOS), Rebecca Romijn (SNW), Tig Notaro (DIS, SA) and Karim Diané (SA)
orbitz@lemmy.ca 1 day agoDidn’t watch the 2000s X-Men? Romjin was Mystique, looking quite attractive of course. Mean not saying bad if you hadn’t but that’s how I remember her originally. Plus she was John Stamos wife for awhile. Keep forgetting it’s Jerry O’Connell she’s married to now who I used to enjoy from Sliders (first seasons then it gets meh). I don’t know the other two myself though, but always enjoy Takei when he’s a guest star.

Th e only thing I know about the X-Men is their name and that they were culturally relevant in the west for some time

That’s fair I just thought that there may be the one person who saw X-Men (2000) who didn’t know she was Mystique. Cause hot damn she was definitely one of the better live actions than drawn.
Wait are X-Men not culturally relevant anymore? Shit I’m old. They had very inclusive ideals which I think is relevant these days is all for North America currently, unsure how well other western societies are doing but it appears not so great either.
I only hope we can end up as inclusive as X-Men they understood everyone was different but wanted to coexist. Isn’t that what we all want? Sorry not directed at you personally just adding cause X-Men rock.

X-Men are a American Civil Rights allegory.

I just think that’s acceptance of all is what those rights movement really meant, they just didn’t know what it all encompassed at the time. They were fighting for everyone to be accepted and I thinks that’s what we should all hope for. Everyone is a person, everyone has their merits. Even if not all good were all people should be treated as such.
