MICHAEL CHABON’S UNUSED X-MEN SCRIPT. Interesting stuff, though a) his bad guy is too amorphous; b) too little agency on part of mutants, too much mutants being used as pawns, making decisions based on false (implanted) memories, that sort of thing. But this treatment stuck with me since the first time I read it, a while ago–there are several memorable images and good calls.

Church of the Masses had more or less the same reaction as I did to “X2.” I infest her comments box.
