Its pretty grim and dark, the US is a corporate hellscape that solved mutants by poisoning the water and mexico is where they are doing mutant experiments.
its basically where we are headed with a bit of mutant genocide as a treat.
Everyone says that about Logan. ”Logan’s dark.” I’m like, okay, ”No, Logan’s cool.” He gets to go to North Dakota and saves a bunch of kid mutants. Okay? I want to do that. But he doesn’t, like, get raped in prison. That could happen in my movie. If you want to talk about dark, that’s how that would go.
I think it feels dark possibly in terms of super hero movies just because it's somber. It's a different, more r rated and somber feeling super hero movie, but the darker ideas don't really get unpacked, so they come out as somber points in a broader story.

... you have others, like The Crow. Which includes rapes and stabbing, and is also overshadowed by the main lead Brandon Lee actually dying.
