In "Reunion 2", the Scarlet Witch and the Kuaiyin brothers and sisters are called "Enhanced" by the Avengers.
Friends who have watched "X-Men" know that their official name is actually called "Mutant".
This is because the copyright of the term "mutant" was not in the hands of Marvel Studios at the time, and this term could not be used.
And when the Night Monkey was looking through the history of American comics recently, he found an interesting court decision.
In the January 2003 case called "Toy Biz, Inc. v. United States" (doll manufacturer lawsuit), the U.S. court enforced a judgment:
Scarlet Witch, Deadpool, Wolverine and other mutants, None of them are human!
In January 2003, "X-Men" was only released for the first time, and even "X-Men 2" was not released. How did
come to the conclusion that "mutants are not humans"? Is it because the courts have limited knowledge of the "human nature" of mutants?
found out after clarifying the situation, it was still money in the final analysis.
According to the US tax law before 2003, the tax rate for dolls is 12%, while for toys, the tax rate is only 6.8%.
Therefore, Toy Biz, the manufacturer of mutant dolls, initiated a lawsuit, hoping that the court would find its products to be toys.
In this way, when you sell variants, you can collect more taxes and put more profits into your own pockets.
The court defined a humanoid doll as its characteristic is to "show the image of people in daily life."
In the original text of the judgment, the judge took out the "X-Men" cartoon, which solemnly introduced Professor X's brain control ability and Magneto's ability to control metal.
finally came to the conclusion: they are different from "people"!
Professor X, who has been striving for equal rights for mutants, is probably speechless.
The story of "X-Men" is very in-depth on human rights issues, but the toy manufacturers who produced them can expel you for a little tax...
But legally speaking, this is in line with the regulations and has a very legal system. Spirit (dog head).
