The X-Men have been a huge part of Marvel lore since their introduction in the 1960s, yet Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has just made their original origin story impossible in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Famously conceived as "children of the atom" by visionary writer Stan Lee, the concept of mutation has a storied comic book history, tapping into society's hesitancy towards the minority and the dangerous consequences of discrimination. While any MCU adaptation could still explore these same themes, the origins of mutants themselves could be very different, potentially leading to a different style of storytelling.
Bob Clark's 1974 horror film Black Christmas is one of the most influential slasher movies of all time, and it has an unforgettably chilling ending. In Black Christmas Billy is considered the villain as he picks off victims one by one, and after almost 50 years, his identity is still debated. The story takes place in a sorority house, where the residents are throwing a Christmas party before they depart. Little do they know, however, that a perverted killer has made his way into the house, and is preparing to pick them off one by one. The Billy Black Christmas character remains in the shadows for most of the movie, that is, until the chilling ending.
