"What'd you expect black leather?"
while bastion might have hammed up the whole alien overlord angle…the truth is the X-men DID LIE about Xavier’s death.
I used to think it was a good think to have mutants outside of the MCU, their presence tends to make a lot of non-mutant superhero teams look problematic ... where were the Avengers when mutants get massacred? But that's also a feature because it does help the mutant metaphor and the "well it's not irrational to fear mutants" element. Because Doctor Doom exists and yet it's Magneto they call a mutie. The Fantastic Four are celebrities and the X-Men ... aren't.
Indeed, it's really best to just avoid genocide in general, doesn't ever seem to end well.The problem has always been that you're playing double-or-nothing going to war with superhumans; they might end up being an existential threat, but if you try to exterminate or enslave them, you assure it.
Agree completely. There are quite a lot of non-mutants who I think the public would take more issue with than most mutants. There is the whole "anyone could be one" factor with a mutant, but frankly, given the sheer number of people who have turned intoI've still had problems believing more people would have a problem with Bobby Drake than Johnny Storm.
Simultaneously, the people who judged Magneto are dead wrong. He's an absolute saint. He could have done this at any time. He could have flown around the world and done it selectively to people he didn't like. He's actually shown huge restraint by sticking to relatively limited schemes and only deploying this when absolutely necessary.2) with a snap of his fingers magneto just turned off civilization like a light switch. He’s not a man…he’s a god. Yeah how can normals possibly be expected to sit quietly when there are people like that around? Magneto is right.
