As a black person and comic book nerd, i cringed so hard to this. The irony of a Black person comparing trans people to the mutants from X-men in a negative context is quite literally stupid af.

As such, there was an alternate Steve Rogers/Captain America who agreed with everything the fascist authoritarian Nazi-...er...Hydra did. Apparently the cosmic cube was sentient enough to save the original Steve Rogers in a pocket dimension, who eventually came back and kicked "Hydra Cap" into non-existence...or something like that.

Conservatives understanding media challenge: IMPOSSIBLE LEVEL

[@PHMineHalo]

whichever one of you editors added the xmen theme to the intro i love u

[@TheycallmeSkywalker]

3:10 - I appreciate the acknowledgement of the trans-affirming Christian perspective. You basically described what my beliefs on the subject have been for a long time, even when I was more conservative. I think that’s the first time I’ve heard anyone else articulate them.

0:44 Vaush, you need a comic book style theme song, it goes hard. Or maybe it's the autism kicking in... ... ... or maybe I smoked too much MJ. Happy Earth Day guys!

Technically the truth, cue the X-Men theme song

[@HeiressOfShadows]

That's not an insult to me, I'd love to be an X-Men. I'm changing my name to Kitty Pride

[@markmikolay9019]

That intro was glorious

[@HotDogTimeMachine385]

[@arcturionblade1077]

The Congressman saw the X-Men and thought that Bolivar Trask guy has a great point!
