To me Namor was giving off Magneto(Fox Films) vibes in terms of his ideology and thought process in how he approaches and views the world. Especially the idea of “Us vs them”.

[@BK4LF1]

Namor has always been like that

[@msdaus14]

Trauma and genocide can do that to people. For Magnito it was WW2 and for Namor it was colonization. They are the extreme push back to the atrocities of the current society.

[@reymysterio1786]

Movies* have always been like that

[@wellingtonsears818]

They did Namor very well. Only complaint anyone can have is his pronunciation of the name....which isn't even relevant in face of the perfomance and accuracy of the characters portrayal

[@dellcoc]

But his us vs them is Vibranium holders vs non holders. He could care less about Mutants.

[@marozasulaiman379]

I can see the Mutants pop up as a "villain" at first on Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars. With Kang's reasoning behind the "disappearance" of Mutant kind was because of the Multiversal War and He Who Remains was to blame for it (and played as a meta nod that everything prior to his death was because Fox's X-Men is a separated IP, so their "disappearance" was kinda justified) Something along the line of "You should've exist way back in the beginning, since you all are Children of the Atom"

[@eesuhisa]

this is really cool. bookmarking this

[@HypocritesExposd]

I like this idea. He Who Remains pruned all timelines that had mutants because the X gene was too unpredictable and would breed the one mutant who could defeat him.

[@DecoyZ]

I hope they don't make Spider-man have special mutant genes, a large reason WHY Spiderman is such an amazing hero is because ANYONE can be under that mask. It was just Peter that got bit that day. People didn't like the whole "Peters dad made the spiders with his dna" twist from TASM 2 because all that did was make Peter "The Chosen One" the only one in the world who could have ever become spiderman. We know that Tom Holland has max 4 more solo movies under his belt, due to the scoopers and also Tom himself saying he doesn't wanna play spiderman in his late 30s. I think Peter will either quit or die and Miles will take his place in phase 8 or 9, so they'll have to explain that Miles also coincidentally has this spider mutant gene. When an easier explanation COULD be that anyone getting bitten by said spider would grant them powers.

[@TwilightOroChi]

Was looking for this comment, so I didn't have to say it haha

[@lmaoanatorhilarious2582]

spiderman is wack. people would cry if he wasn't a smart science boy. im done with his character. maybe its holland, maybe its the writing but either way i don't like it. and a lot of their new characters/actors that they brought in are top grade but killing them with this kind of productions. like cmon, black widow.

[@5h4rp13]

Plus there's a whole history in the comics of him being a mutate rather than a mutant, and being respected by the X-Men and other mutants, but still not quite fully accepted as family

[@JUSLOFI]

The general public thinks Spider-Man is a Mutant.

[@marozasulaiman379]

Is Mutate = Mutant tho'? Because in the House of M storyline, a universe where Mutant is above and beyond Human, Spider-Man was considered a public figure in that universe and he's not a Mutant (unless I missed the point where Wanda created the world to include Mutate as Mutant). So I guess Mutate is considered equal to Mutant, but they're inherently different.

I feel like secret wars/ battle world will allow them pick n choose who to keep ,and who to keep ,and who to recast just by saying that those specific ppl made it thru/ were chosen ,and the rest didn't from their reality. So basically Kevin can pick and choose who he wants to keep,and who he wants a new one of , and can make sense of it all in Canon. It's actually pretty genius.

[@samurexatlas7373]

6:28 This is actually due to variance in the TYPE of SS Serum. Hydra's SS needed metallic limbs, the new SS serum was designed to make them concealable. This is actually explained in Falcon and the Winter Soldier!

[@mcfc6320]

Your transitions are the best. We don't talk about that much.

[@VictorMarines06]

The comparison with gun registration and mutant registration is amazing. And it even leads to a civil war.

[@garyhall2770]

You do realize that mutants registration was first thought of around 40 years ago in the comics.

[@colorblindcamo7270]

My thought was that, like in the second theory, the mutant x-gene exists already in some people and currently requires some form of trigger that activates it. The Banner/Walters family requires gamma radiation, the Maximovs exposure to the mind stone, Parker radioactive bite. The type of trigger also probably effects the type of powers you get. I think to bring the X-men into the MCU there will need to be some event that massively changes the whole planet, perhaps an incursion will create an area of higher cosmic background radiation around earth or something, and after that people born with the x-gene will activate powers without an artificial trigger. Thus creating mutants as we know them in the comics. Longer lived mutants like Logan could already exist in the MCU but just gone unnoticed due to how rare they are.

[@MrMrdamon1]

Peter's father used his blood when he engendered human spiders. So the spiders knew peter.

[@OfficialStvoMusic]

They can say that mutants was always there but really it’s a timeline adjustment from Loki and the death of he that remains.. in the comics people like the hulk wasn’t killed from gama because of similar reasons that mutants exist

[@haitileblanc3075]

Steve also took a different serum than Bucky and John hence why they didn’t change. I’d you noticed Peggy changed form in the what if

[@yessirwdp]

Civil War 2 is about to be one of the biggest and most interessing events in the MCU

[@anthonydaquet7934]

If Namor was around for like 500 years then the X-gene was around for at least that long

[@darthclueless9372]

I think the sentinel program would work well for this story. The science will designate who is a mutant , the sentinels hunt them down

[@alchang6435]

In the comics, there are "proto-mutants" - mutants that were born with their powers already activated. Supposedly, they're one step back from mutant evolution. In X-lore, the theory was that proto-mutants all died off because humans recognized them at a time when they couldn't fend for themselves, hence the next generation of mutants had their powers triggered during puberty. If you want to investigate more about proto-mutants in Marvel comics, it's pretty obscure but you'd need to direct your search towards "Jamie Madrox, Multiple Man" as the proto-mutant lore mostly revolves around him. Good Luck!

[@kidpolofiend]

It would be nice if following a civil war involving Namor and talokan , the MCU introduces a storyline that has the government hunting for more mutants and they discover krakoa, a nation of mutants that have been hiding all along with the help of the eternals to avoid a war with humanity. Ok idk about the eternals but I know they gone throw that in there somehow 😅

[@jessewissler1772]

I’m so happy someone is finally touching on this. This has been my working theory for the last year. And every time some thing new comes out and doesn’t discredit it I get so happy. I always simplified it as X gene + bad event + space radiation = super power (mutant). All these things that have kept appearing on planet from space that are suddenly changing everyone. Even though eternals gets a lot of flak I stand by that it’ll probably be one of the more important movies in the grand scheme of things with it’s implications. Especially going forward.

[@haitileblanc3075]

In the comics celestials not only created mutants but allowed some people to get powers instead of dying. My understanding of captain America is that super soldier serum is the only thing that would give anyone super powers with side effects

[@Sillygoosespoofse]

Ive been saying it for years. Mutants in the MCU are children of parents from different realms. Namor says talocan was reached after a long journay, and doesnt seem to be just some random place. They have to use "magic" in order to access it. Hes a confirmed mutant because of that throwaway line. His mother was a human until she ate the herb, AFTER she was preggers. After she altered her DNA, Namor inherited mutant powers. Ms. Marvel is the child of a human, and a Noor dimension inhabitant, changing the DNA structure of their kid. My guess is that the bands, ten rings, other cosmic things yet to be introduced, are just meant to focus those powers, and that their macguffin quality will end in their sequels. Wanda is a funky one, we dont know if either of her parants were either mutants, or if one was a descendant from a different realm dweller, but i do feel like her kids are going to be mutants. Depending on whether or not they try to explain around all the existing incidents in order to confirm all this stuff happening behind the scenes. However, i believe the nail in the coffin here is Shang chi. He wasnt established as a mutant in the first movie, but i have a feeling well learn soon that hes part of the mutant population, and the activation of his gene might give him additional powers like he had in the comics. His mom, Ta Lo, his dad, human. If we get any info that hes a mutant, itll confirm my theory. Ms Marvels, statement about labels really makes me thing that the current "culture war" in america will be the setting for the introduction of mutants and the registration act. Well get a new president which will likely be a storyline in the thunderbolts, likely a trump analogue. Then well get a targeted media campaign against mutants, which will kick off their specific story.

[@PurpleHeartSGT06]

[@gabrielmurray929]

Wilfred Nagel the guy who made the serum in FATWS explicitly said he made his serum for stealth so that there wouldn't be bulging muscles like with Erskine's. As for Bucky HYDRA presumably didn't have Erskine's formula as well.

[@ninjaboy1396]

Yknow what would be crazy, is if we're heading into the dystopian future we saw in the earlier x men movies, one in which robot sentinels have damn near eradicated mankind in order to destroy the mutant gene... But given the expansion and the meta of the MCU I'm sure things won't be exactly like that..

[@RentABozo]

Seems like the MCU is hinting that radiation could be something that’s vital to activating mutations. I think it’s extremely likely that the Snap will play a huge role in introducing mutants, especially because the radiation that would have gone out across the universe (3 times) would likely have to have an affect on people

[@NaturallyMeeee]

I wonder if Namor knew about Thanos and the reason why half his people probably disappeared during the blip. Or did he get blipped? I wanna know

[@erikespinoza9696]

When I watched phase 4 over again time and time again in almost every show and movie they would talk about genes a lot or something like it… from falcon and winter soldier- black widow when they said certain genes or something like that is how the black widow who graduates finishes the process

[@marchetu9212]

I think we should be seeing, comparatively, many mutants from now on because of the snap but mutants were always there. They were just very rare. That way we can still have myth, legend, and historical context to old mutants (like Namor) and keep the Maximoff twins as mutants, but moving forward we’ll see many more because of the snap. And it’s not necessarily the people who were snapped. The universe felt the radiation from the use of the stones 4 times (Thanos twice, Hulk, and Tony). That is a lot of radiation so, like having too many x-rays, it could cause mutations. But just like having many x-rays can increase your chances of mutations (usually seen in the form of higher chances of cancer) there is no guarantee of having mutations. If anything, the people who were not snapped away would have a higher chance of getting mutations that give them powers because, as stated above, they experienced infinity stone snap radiation 4 times compared to the people who experienced 2 snaps.

[@joshuahenderson3444]

All of this wouldn’t surprise me if the MCU is laying the groundwork for the XMen

[@CinemaGuyTy]

Another awesome episode! When Ryan spoke about "anyone with mutated genetics" being considered a mutant, it made the X-Men feel just another set of faces joining the MCU and teaming up. If Carol Danvers, Bruce Banner, and Steve Rogers are all mutants, what makes Professor X or Cyclops special? Outside of their respective abilities, of course. I love the idea of the blip having something to do with sparking genetic mutation in humans with the X-Gene. The mutants deserve an origin that gives them a proper rise within the MCU. They should be teased, built up to, and explored. Also, I'd love to see an adaptation of Marvel's Civil War II. It was a great story.

[@sanitizerwilson1599]

Steve Rogers and Carol Danvers and Bucky Barnes and Bruce Banner are all Mutates!!!! and don't have the X-gene and NOT BORN THAT WAY!!!!

I don’t think the infinity stones gave people the mutant gene but rather that they were the cause (the blip) of its activation, the trigger. The mutant gene must be something the celestials introduced to help humanity to survive in extreme conditions

[@vhsiv]

Ryan, MCU is following the post-Ultimates timeline where most of the mutations are a result of someone else trying to re-create Prof. Erskine’s Super-Soldier formula.

[@SpardaTheking]

I serious want you to direct a comic movie Ryan , the way you put things together is just right

[@LittleMan27]

Some of these people you mentioned could be classified as mutates and not mutants. Mutants are people that have a power embedded in their DNA from birth and it is activated through Puberty/stress . Mutates are people that gain their powers through an outside cause. Spider-Man, The Hulks, The Super-Soldiers, Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, etc; got their powers from an outside cause (Radioactive spider, Gamma radiation, Super-Soldier serum, The Tesseract, Wanda’s chaos magic), but Wanda, Pietro, Kamala & now Namor had it in their genes and either puberty or stress caused it (Apartment explosion allowed Wanda to stop the 2nd shell explosion & probably unlocked Pietro’s superspeed, Kamala’s stress after the kree bangle showed her the noor dimension plus being at AvengerCon, and Namor watching the British enslave his people when going to bury his mother)

[@geeman8332]

I agree with them classifying most enhanced individuals as mutants, and also there will be another civil war at some point

[@scenic871]

I think we could also see it explained that some mutants existed before, but many were recruited by Charles Xavier and so far the X-men were just VERY careful to stay under the radar. Possibly even using mutants with the right abilities to cause any witnesses to forget what they've seen

[@OaklynMediaLLC]

[@walrusagent]

The US government is trying to get vibranium to activate mutants powers. It’ll be kinda like the Ultimate universe. Making mutants to try and replicate the super soldier program. With some of the older mutants already having their powers activated by other means (Logan, Magneto, Prof X)

[@victorcd9653]

Black Widow, in the Black Widow screen when she falls from the building, bangs around during the fall and lands on her feet was really muti like 🤔

[@medleystudios72]

If it were me running things, I would establish mutations have alway been among us. I would debut X-Men concurrently with the Fantastic 4, revealing that they first came into prominence in the 1960s. And whereas the FF disappeared in their origin story, prompting them to be considered lost and irrelevant to the previous MCU phases until they re-emerge in their upcoming film, mutants would have an origin wherein their struggle was entwined with the Equal Rights Movement in the 60s. I would have the origin end in a huge confrontation where someone did a similar thing to comicbook Wanda's "No More Mutants." And what that did was remove mutants from collective consciousness, not existence itself. The handful that became "known" in the 60s were suddenly unknown, much like the Peter Parker spell. Then a future phase shows that worldwide effect lifted by some event and mutants become known again. (Kinda like The Sentry's comics origin too.) And perhaps a good way to do it is when the Skrull invasion is discovered. Perhaps something is done to try to reveal them all in hiding (think ending of They Live) and a byproduct of that event also reveals the cosmically redacted knowledge of mutants through the decades. That's the general story I'd pitch.

[@brennanault4777]

But since Namor is 500 years old wouldn't there already be mutants before thanos snap half the population?

[@sanitizerwilson1599]

After secret wars I could see the government trying to push for a certain program To control the rise of more powered individuals Both mutants and other superheroes The creation of the Sentinel program The sentinels not only killed mutants in the original days of future past story but other heroes fell like Spider-Man The Fantastic 4 Iron man etc. So it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out as more mutants continue to appear

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

I commented on one of your videos about the differences between Mutants and Mutates. Basically, Mutates are enhanced beings who got powers due to their DNA being mutated on a molecular level, eg; Spider-Man, Hulk, Captain Murica, Captain Marvel, Bucky, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, etc. Mutants are those who are born with mutated DNA, the X-Gene, which awakens mutant powers when they are under extreme stress. Francis pretty much nailed it. But I have a theory, that the Vibranium meteorites were sent from Arishem for the new Celestials body, the Celestial incubating within Earth. There could have been multiple meteorites of Vibranium that scattered across the Earth, so that it can absorb the cosmic energy surrounding and on earth, which then feeds into Tiamut. Maybe even Anti Vibranium in Antarctica, since Celestials need various abilities and Various Vibranium strands can afford that. But due to the Vibranium that have been here since the Dinosaurs, they have mutated life forms like plants in Wakanda and Talokan. This could have also mutated human DNA when humans were evolving from fungi and other lifeforms, hence leading to humans possessing the latent X Gene. In the MCU so far, it isn't powerful enough yet to be awakened to create the race of Mutants. But due to multiple snaps with the cosmic energy from the Infinity Gauntlet that had cosmic energy readings like never seen before, that wave of energy could have stirred the X Gene within humans who had it, thus awakening it from its sleep mode. But the person then has to undergo extreme stress to fully activate this X-Gene.

[@sanitizerwilson1599]

Eternals and Deviants are the key to bring mutants into MCU. I think they are already there but they very rare but cause the snap it awaken it that dormant in humans. Eternal movie is key to everything I think a million years ago a Deviant join with a Eternal and in turn it (they) started to breed with humans life on the earth. I think there were few active mutants before the snaps.

[@sanitizerwilson1599]

The answer lays in the movie Eternals I think that Deviate infect an Eternal 10,000 years ago or more, this Hybrid started to breed with Homosapiens or maybe Neanderthals this form a gene in the offspring. Call the X-gene.

[@iamlenda]

I think more relevant than the reveal is the reaction. That's what is telling. Neither Kamala or Suri act like the idea of mutation/mutants was outrageous. Or even like they never heard of it.Other thing VERY IMPORTANT RYAN DID NOR MENTION: Namor is about 500 years old. It's very hard to believe he's the only human being that mutated in the last 5 centuries. Clearly there are more mutants around the MCU. Some probably for a very long time. Remember Mr Immortal from the She Hulk. He's imortal ( duh) and a mutant. I strongly believe MCU will take that "mutants were always here" aproach.

[@markstriker925]

I think the "they were always there" approach should be mixed in with one of the theories where mutants are created by the blip or an incursion. Blip would create new/more mutants. While old mutants like Wolverine can always be there via the first theory. So it's the best of both worlds.
