Why The Internet Is Disturbed By This ‘X-Men’ Poster *Trigger Warning*

163. She's also one of the X men that can hold her own in a physical fight.

I mean that, despite her shape-shifting abilities, mystique in her filmic incarnations is a highly trained martial combatant, to the point that she can mostly hold her own against even the wolverine (no small feat).
The image above (I think) is meant to portray not violence against women specifically, but the nasty character and overt power of Apocalypse beyond that of other mutants.

Was it a dumb decision on Foxs part? Probably. But if it were a comic cover no one would care except for the suggestion that that there's about to be a badass brawl connected to that Cover Art. It's not an excuse, but context is important here, I think..

That's just me and I hope that doesn't come off as naively misogynist. When I see that image, I see an EPIC and well-deserved beatdown in Apocalypse's near future, with Mystique constituting a significant part of that asswhooping.
