This is why I wish Marvel would actively discourage the use of X-gene as an allegory for real-world groups. It doesn't always fit, and even when it does there are Unfortunate Implications. I don't think the ability to identify with them would be lessened by acknowledging they are simply their own group with their own problems, and not a stand-in for anybody else.

Also, I'm planning on starting Buffy soon. They did what?

[kathkin]

I don't mind them doing the allegory thing provided they keep it as a very loose allegory. Once you get to 'have you tried not being a mutant' you're in direct comparison territory and yeah that's a problem.

Fair warning: Buffy up to S5 is excellent. S6 and S7 get... weird. There's some great episodes post-S5 but there's also some terribad ones.

Terribad? Like Bad Eggs, I Robot, You Jane? Or Beer Bad? :)

Buffy s6 and s7 were darker than dark but I enjoyed them all the same...except for Andrew Wells.

[kathkin]

Haha I liked Andrew!

I did enjoy S6 and S7 but I do think the overall quality went down - there were some bad episodes in the earlier seasons but generally the over-arching plots were stronger. IMO darker doesn't necessarily mean better.

This is an excellent idea.

And I hope I didn't spoil Buffy for you. *bites lip*
