I know that this wasn't the main point of your post but it's going to kill me when Disney/MCU does X-Men and completely gut it of anti-racist/anti-homophobic metaphor and instead just make it into another action-comedy.
Or, or shit, when they keep the allegories but direct them all against state enemies by making all the anti-mutant factions be based out of Russia and China or something.
