"By the way, the women are always saving the men around here. You might want to think about changing the name to X-Women."
The cringiest line in the entire movie franchise. Also kinda downplayed what Nightcrawler and Quicksilver did to save the people in space, with their teleportation and speed. If the women did literally everything far as saving the people from that shuttle I could see her having a point, but as it was...
Yeah that was cringey. Nightcrawler was especially key.

It just felt like they inserted a woke 2019 joke into a movie that was supposed to take place in 1992.

None of the X-Men seem to notice "hey we aren't aging". Weird lol.

Maybe I was taking the line a little too serious/literally, but joking or not, X-Men was one of the last places I'd have expected to see some gender politics line shoehorned in somewhere like that. Don't see how it can be defended that said, or how Mystique could possibly imply that the women did most of the work up in space when Jean risked herself to save like one guy, while Nightcrawler basically saved everyone else (oh, and Storm buying them some time with her ice cubes). Everything Raven said to Charles up until that line was valid, but goes to show how one off line at the end can ruin an otherwise passable scene.
I was warned of some controversial line by Mystique before I actually saw the movie, from some media I came across, though didn't yet know the context, but now I see what reviewers meant about how forced that line was. lol
I dunno. It made sense in the “Im pissed at you and everything you stand for right now” kinda way. But was just one line, which im sure was only intended to get a laugh. And we didnt get anything else on the subject, because it was never meant as an actual issue in the film.
So kinda pales in comparison to the She-Team scene we got in Endgame. Which wasnt intended as a joke, and was clearly forced in for the female fandom to giz over. But then hey, the females loved that. I facepalmed at that, but it got its target audience excited.
The line wasnt an issue unless you want to make an issue out of it, like this Marvel producer who ought to be fired for her suggestion that the name X-Men is outdated:
