This week comedian Ian Koranek returns to talk about the comics that inspired X-Men 97! Spoilers for various X-Men comics. What comic predicted 9/11? Why didn't anyone blame mutants for 9/11 in the Marvel Universe? What happens in Uncanny X-Men #200, The Trial of Magneto? In what way did X-Men 97 improve on the source material? Which groups are X-Men an allegory for? How did we feel about Disney buying 20th Century Fox? What happens in the X-Men story Fatal Attractions? Why can't we take dialogue from comic books and put it on screen? What happens in Operation Zero Tolerance? What was one of the key changes they made in adapting the story for X-Men 97? Why does Ian hate it when people say "Magneto is right"? Who is Graydon Creed and who are his parents? Who is Bastion? Who are some mutants who don't want to join the X-Men?
