I have not and will not see this movie. I am sensitive to any kind of "humor" which makes fun of something or someone different. I can only imagine how an adopted child would feel watching this and hearing his friends laughing at it. I know some think we have gone too far in political correctness but children especially are sensitive to things like this and should not be made to feel uncomfortable.
In this particular situation it is like saying he is a killer because he is adopted. or because he is adopted he is to be excused for being a killer. either way i don't like it.

I agree. I will not be seeing it either. I don't like it, and sorry, but I can't laugh at this joke.
It marginalizes adoption and connects it to something unsavory.

I went, with a student who is very good friends with my daughter. He is adopted from Uzbekistan. He couldn't careless about the adopted line, he was far more interested in debating whether or not Hazmat (an asian avenger) would be in the upcoming sequels. When I told him he was a very minor character he ranted about the lack of asian superheros, again, nothing about adoption.

Given the ridiculous number of adopted superHEROS (you know like SUPERMAN) I think it is more than a little silly to pretend the overall message of comics is that adoption is negative.
If anything the fact that both good, bad and in between characters are adopted in comics it seems to make it a very diverse and accepted family style.
