The accent combined with the terrible sound quality makes him REALLY hard to understand.

how ironic, Grant Morrison bigging up youth rebellion while simultaneously hoping and expecting validation from a man of his father's generation...
...in fact, the father rebels against the son
...or the (morri)son

Haha, Stan Lee is like the Dad of comics.

THE WORLDS STRANGEST TEENAGERS: the X-MEN

@Gokitalo yes but the fight itself wasn't as entertaining.

@227060 New X-Men did have action and characterization going on simultaneously, though. Remember when Cyclops fought Magneto/Xorn in #150? That was more than just a fight scene: that was Cyclops taking out all of his frustrations, starting with his failed relationships and ending with Xorn's betrayal, on Magnus.

@227060 They were, but remember that Claremont also introduced the New Mutants. That said, I don't think all of the X-Writers really caught onto the "kids versus adults" metaphor; not even Stan himself, as he says in the video. Still, it's a pretty valid take. If you think about it, it's just an extension of the familiar argument that mutants are a metaphor for adolescence.

Look guys superheroes are mdoern myths and can thus be interpreted in a variety of different ways. I imagine Lee and Kirby were influenced by racism (Civil Rights Black power, I have a dream, which was delivered months prior to X-Men's first publication), the counter culture of young against the old and general adolecence all at the same time

@LordBifford Not racism: the X-Men. Think about it; the original stories featured five teenagers fighting mostly adult villains. Even the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, the supposedly supervillainous teenagers, ended up rebelling against their evil adult teammates. Of the major characters, Professor X was the only good grown-up of the bunch. The others were either evil villains or bigots.
I'd say Grant was onto something there.

He said he looked at the divide between mutants and humans as like children versus parents, the old generation versus the new. But Stanley wouldn't tell Morrison he was right.
