Would it be a happy medium to call it X-Men but ‘Men’ is short for menstrual?

I haven't really been following this story. Is it confirmed it won't be called X-Men? The Mutants is a shitty title, the least they can do is come up with a catchy new name for the team. After the shitshow that was The New Mutants, you'd think they'd want to distance themselves from that title. Screw it, just use X-Force, even though Deadpool already did it. Different universes and all.

Different universes and all. It’s not confirmed. It was “reported” well over a year ago with absolutely no quotes or confirmation behind it so I’d say it’s just troll bait. The name X Men is iconic. There’s little chance they don’t use it. Edit: just looked up those old articles and they also “report” that the movie will be announced in 2022. So… |

"The Mutants" seems banal to me. Nondescript and dull.
That certainly doesn't mean nothing good can come from it. I had the same criticism of The Boys. Here I felt this was an intriguingly cynical and fantastic show, and they just went with "The Boys"? It seemed so dull a title that it could only be for irony.
That said, I really have no issue with "The Mutants" either. It's another generation's show now. With any luck, it will be a good show, and a new generation may be entranced like I was.

X-Force? I don't know that they'll ditch X-Men as a name, but if they do, I'd hope they'd go for something like X-Force rather than The Mutants. You've already got The Eternals, and sort've have The Inhumans, so let the X-men not-be 'The Mutants'.
