    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 .

        Kind of there is a mutants genocide in x-men 97 which proves him right even more.

          There’s definitely an argument to be made that the mutants should have the right to live their lives. I guess it depends on how much you think “violence” and “by any means necessary” are justified.

          To bring a real world example into the conversation, the Palestinians decided that violence was necessary. Some condemn them for it, some ask “what other choice did they have?”

          Obviously, the sympathizers will see you as the hero, and the opponents will see you as the villain. Is it better to go onto hiding like Prof. X and his crew or to stand up and fight like Magneto and his? And how much and what kind of collateral damage is acceptable? It’s a war that has been fought for ages in many different places - the battle between the oppressors and the oppressed.

            Well i don’t wanna spoil the show too much but when it really get into the subject you’ll see how much the mutants are suffering . Also the genosha thing in ep 5 is brutal .

              I just binged X Men 97 yesterday and today without knowing too much and was really shocked. Ep5 was definitely huge.
