I haven't even seen Wonder Man yet but I already know he's going to be filed under the mutant label.
Because he is one.
Every superhuman is a mutant.
The comics use the "mutate" term but...I doubt the MCU will.
Because they're just going to differentiate mutations...
...whether they be X-Gene mutations, Gamma mutations, Spider mutations, Dark Energy Tesseract mutations, Terrigen mutations, etc.
A mutant is a mutant at the end of the day...especially in the eyes of the MCU public growing in superhuman xenophobia.
They're gonna see mfs like Spider-Man or the Human Torch flying around and say "That's a mutant!"...even though their mutations aren't X-Gene mutations.
And they wouldn't be wrong...they're just not being specific.
It's like calling a Vietnamese guy an "Asian."
You're not wrong. But you're also not being specific.
When X-Gene mutants start making the news and scaring people, every superhuman is going to be labeled a mutant to differentiate them from regular humans.
"Us vs Them" type shit.
Whether or not the mutant Wonder Man is an X-Gene mutant has yet to be seen.

@girldrawsghosts when I first heard they were bringing him back again I thought "isn't he kinda played out? how are they gonna shoehorn this" and then I saw it and Wonder Man is the best thing Marvel's done in years

@esjesjesj I'm goofing but Next Gen had Bones in the first episode, it takes time

@esjesjesj they needed three seasons to break out of it
also an entirely different political environment and studio ownership

It’s actually the opposite. It’s the writers not being able to produce anything outside of nostalgia
Mick Joest@G33kyMick
Upsetting news to hear #StarTrek Starfleet Academy will not go past Season 2. The fandom's inability to embrace any new storytelling outside of nostalgia might as well be the death knell for the fandom.

@suchnerve they're only just exploring the intricacies of The Force
the dualism, the way extremes communicate antithesis and annihilation, I wish we'd had a second season of The Acolyte

“You’re so nice omg” Thanks I just invert this defensive subroutine from “intentionally hit people’s insecurities” to the benign mirror version “intentionally soothe people’s insecurities”
Vivian@suchnerve
@phil_system32 The secret is to figure out authority figures’ insecurities and verbally hit every single one with surgical precision until they’re too afraid of angering you to ever cross you again

@suchnerve you've got laser-guided takes and a history of sometimes attracting an enormous amount of attention
I assume they hate people with sharp perception, hard-fought writing skills and someone apparently more popular than they should be

@theallergygirl my body has changed shape for a variety of other reasons so I'm impressed along an additional, different trajectory

@catbogausch @bennywormcat why be merely comfortable when one can be p e c u l i a r

@suchnerve most of the gay men I knew have been good actors so I haven't seen a lot of that but yes

@omgchomp @ELSASB1TCH that said, bad romance is famously wrong in some karaoke systems, mother monster is doing this hitchcock jam poetry thing but the lyrics are mangled engrish bullshit
English

@omgchomp @ELSASB1TCH ohhh that one goes a lot of places
I've been in a "singing in a bunch of other languages" kick lately but I usually look up translations first just in case

@rinoadoll this is a respectful ranking
I have a soft spot in my heart for XV because I played it in a narrow window of 2020 where going on a road trip with the bros would absolutely hit, unreproducible results
