Let My Man Be Paralyzed - Tumblr Posts

As someone with an invisible disability (ADHD), I think it’s incredibly sad to see possible representation taken away, even if it’s not something I have. “Oh b-but! But he has the treatment that lets him walk!” Do I have to spell it out for you??

My man Charles is PAR👏A👏LYZED! Permanently!And also canonically has chronic pain! (In the movies, at least) For fs, let that actually be canon in a way that represents it properly! Marvel already BSed their way out of paralysis with War Machine in their movies, if you ask me.

Honestly, it’s just heartbreaking and frustrating to see this happen over and over again. Even ‘97, the most recent TV-show/film adaptation of X-Men, doesn’t handle this correctly!

Again, I know that my opinion on the matter isn’t particularly relevant to the issue, seeing that I myself am not physically disabled in any way, but seeing the representation of his disability getting erased constantly makes me upset.

I understand where the disappointment comes from when x-men fans don't see Charles portrayed as physically disabled. But doesn't even x-men comics portray him that way at some point? Remember when he transferred his consciousness to a body that could walk? And other times which I'm too lazy to mention btw. Marvel loves to make him walk and comeback to use wheelchairs over and over again.
