  Magneto was 100% right. He didn't always act rightly, but he was right in his understanding of the threat and need for militant resistance.

  When I was a kid, I rooted for Xavier. But as an adult, I am definitely leaning more towards Magneto's ideology.

  The best "villains" are those you can make the argument they were right.  Even if their methods are flawed.

  This is why I have always loved X-men... it&apos;s not a simple good guy vs bad guy.... the characters are not that simple, and some situations are deep, and that fear and anger can fester and kill millions all because of one scared thought or grab and power.<br>X-men as a kid taught me about this, which is necessary being raised where there is 0 diversity. That judging someone without knowing them is not only bad, but stupid. The reality that if everyone could just get along, everything would be great, but not everyone wants that... so until everyone wants it, you won&apos;t have peace. And that there will always be people on both sides of the agreement that will never have peace. Like, as long as there is an angry human that hates/fears mutants and a mutant that hates/fears a human, there will not peace until both are removed from the same space.<br>And then space threats to make them realize that there are bigger and much worse threats and humans are still like &apos;nah, we still gonna hate on all mutants&apos; 🙄🙄🙄🙄

  The parallels between MLK/Xavier and Malcolm X/Magneto are great. Magento even says &quot;by any means necessary&quot;, which was a popular Malcolm X quote.

  Something I hope that they do when Mutants are introduced to the MCU is bring up the point that all the heroes are dangerous not just Mutants. It never really made sense to me why characters like Senator Kelly and J.Jonah Jameson hate Mutants and Spider-Man when The Hulk can level an entire city.

  X-Men &apos;97 picking up right after X-Men TAS means Magneto is currently leading the X-Men in that series. If that ends up being MCU canon, that could be super interesting heading into Phase 5.

  Magneto wasn&apos;t right Cable was, he said back in the 90&apos;s that if Xavier and Magneto hadn&apos;t wasted their time fighting each other, but worked together instead they would have accomplished so much more, Hickman era of the X-men is a realization of Cables statement, but with Moria Mactaggart altered from her former human identity into a mutant and given the role of the catalyst.

  Years ago I said Magneto was right to my elder brother and my friends and all of them laughed at me at that moment but I kept on loving him and now I can die in peace. 🕊️

  Master mold once said that humans and mutants are one in the same, it’s funny how machines know this and living beings still prefer conflict.

  I came here from Sir Ian McKellen who shared an article that embeded this clip. Here&apos;s what he said about it: <br><br>&quot;The late Stan Lee, who created the X-Men comics, would be pleased with this analysis, which relates his fantasy characters to the real world that inspired them. &quot;<br><br>So great job!
