One of the x-men is even a dirty commie. This comic series has always been WOKE TRASH.
Which one? X-Men needs more communists
Colossus, he lived on a commune in the soviet union. Though so far the comics really don’t say if he abandoned communism or not when joining.
I have read some issues where Colossus said some sus stuff about communism and the USSR that disappointed me. I really should find and post a photo of the one I’m thinking of but I can’t remember which one it was in.
Who was the spoiled little white chick with an old money surname here? Any character in particular in the continuity or just a one-off president’s daughter?
Professor X has some
shit to answer for.Just a one off character in that issue and this is the ultimate universe so not really canon
so not really canon
I will forever hate the Ultimate universe.
Theres some good moments of black humor. Like when Logan has to kill a mutant whos mutant power is that everything dies around him. Bendis is definitely better at it than Millar. I enjoy Millars work in a lot of ways tho, I feel like he was really showcasing how gross the comic industry is by being extra gross and was mocking American media in general
I think that’s a fair to accurate read on them. Personally, when I was sorta reading them I just thought it was “edgy” without much to say. I didn’t have any of the literature analysis skills I have now, but it just didn’t feel good for me. I was in high school when these titles dropped and personally anything that felt “edgy” felt like the like stuff the kids who would bully me would read. I didn’t like reading stuff I thought the people who made high school a not fun time would read (doubtful they’d read for fun but whatever such is the teenaged mind). That’s part of the reason I move to stuff like Spawn (which felt more “X-treme™©®” than edgy) and Hellboy (which is just a damn fine book) and Invincible (which felt more my speed at the time).
Which I understand to be a totally emotional response on my part to a damn comic book line, but I remember staying away from all the 2000’s era stuff for a while. It’s weird I have a sort anti-nostalgia for comics of that era. I read a lot of older Marvel/DC comics during that time in my life.
Sorry didn’t mean to make this into a lore dump, just felt like I should expand upon why I hated the Ultimate universe. It did give us Miles though.

Is the “Ultimate” universe like the “New 52” thing that DC did that turned Superman into a Randian douchebag and gave a bunch of sensationalism-focused SV baggage and straw-feminist man-hating to Wonder Woman?

Mark Miler made Captain America a patriotic chauvinist (“the A on my head doesn’t stand for France” line), Hulk a cannibal murderer, the Maximoff twins an incestuous couple, etc.
Smells P R E S T I G E T V flavored to me, which lines up with the height of that fad.
