Creative Cat Productions | Adolsecent angst and the universal need to belong made X-Men a major success @creativecatproductions | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
Teenagers all want to feel like they belong to a stable and welcoming society, at just about the same time they all struggle to fit in due to either real, or merely perceived, idiosyncrasies. Thus, to such a demographic, a comic book like the X-Men would have been eminently relatable. Here’s a group of exciting heroes, rejected for being too different from normies, and yet at the same time, they’re also intrinsically superior to the same normies that rejected them. How convenient!
This same dynamic helps explain the popularity of all sorts of media: from Harry Potter to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Humans, especially young adults, want to root and identify with a groups that’s simultaneously the “best” just as much as its the most persecuted or victimized. It’s how subcultures are born! Well….its how subcultures are sustained, at the very least.
