Sure, the MCU is the most famous example of cinematic superhero adaptations, but is it the only one? Come help us analyze superhero movies (and the difficulties of adaptation in general!) using the seven core X-Men movies as a case study. Instead of dismissing movies with the classic "The comics did it better," let's figure out what changes were made, which ones worked, and which ones didn't. Hey, media analysis is more fun when you're talking about Wolverine, right? No prior knowledge of the X-Men or their movies necessary, and students will receive small pieces of X-Men paraphernalia at the end of class!
