Reading, Viewing, and Critiquing SF&F•Capitol A• Sunday, 1:00-2:15 p.m.
The X-Men comics are well-loved and have a disproportionately high number of female fans (and strong female characters). X-Men: The Final Stand was nonetheless widely interpreted as quite sexist (out of control sexual women must be destroyed for the good of the world, etc.). Did the problems originate in the adaptation to film, or the source material, i.e., the comics themselves? What attracts women to the X-Men story no matter what format it's told in?
