It’s surprising that the X-files is so rewatchable, given that 2025 is overrun by real conspiracy theorists who are generally toxic and unpleasant people who should logically have ruined the show for us by now. I think it’s because the conspiracy theorists on X files all the way up to Mulder are charming and relatable and want to believe and know awesome things that would be wild if true. Sadly the real-life ones of today are less interested in UFOs and telekinesis and more interested in finding ways to believe the worst possible things about people or groups they dislike, which would be awful if true, and require no magic or alien science . A realistic Mulder today would be a partisan hack and hate the smoking man for being appointed by the other party. He would be obsessed with vaccines, birth certificates etc. Instead of being banished to the basement he’d be running a high-powered inquisition. The lone gunmen would be spreading rumors about people being pedophiles. Sculley would be an influencer.
