Atleast in the x-men 97 season 1 . Idk if it fits here but i thought of it in the shower .
wasnt magneto and professor x always supposed to channel malcolm x and martin luther king jr so that their methods balanced each other
thats why i always sympathised with magneto not with everything he did but with his general ideas
I tend to agree, with his point that humanity will conduct and be passive as it does horrible things as a down whole.
But also a single individual as the vice president proves have the power to make change to corrupt systems.
Def shower thought!
He was a relatable character, in what he wanted, but he forced the Mutant gene on that dude, then that guy died. I just remember he wanted to rinse/repeat that on the whole city (not knowing everyone would die). I think it’s an oversimplification to say he’s right, but he’s definitely relatable, which makes him a terrific villain.

Do you want to let us uninitiated know what he was right about?

I guess you would have to watch atleat one thing with him to understand his views and the racism in x-men world . To sum up in a horrible way magneto is mostly an anti-hero guy who think sometimes violence is necessary to get his kind the basic of rights like to exist without being hunted .

Im familiar with the X-men and I know who Magneto is, I just thought you were referring to something specific.
