When X-Men 97 came out I kept hearing the word “woke” it’s like “they” never read the comics or the movies and Magneto was not like this!! 🤔

Anyone crying about Marvel or X-Men being woke knows nothing about Stan Lee lol.

It’s so strange

Some was even fighting saying Eric was not Jewish

:childplease:
He wasn't Jewish before Claremont added in his backstory, and, while I'm not diminishing what Stan & Jack sparked, Silver Age Magneto was a far, far different character than the one Claremont & the artists ultimately sculpted to become one of the most compelling comic characters ever. He's a Stan & Jack creation, but most of what you love about Magneto was built by Claremont.

-He's acknowledged his failings on multiple occasions & tried to do things differently. He's tried turning the other cheek, joined Xavier, even retired & what happens every time? Some flatscan comes around on blatant fukkery & they make him let them down. Listen to the speech again. He's conflicted & it makes him a better character.

-If I had his power it'd take all my self control to not immediately start wiping out white supremacists.
and he always go back to being a terrorist. you can talk about his "changes" but if they dont stick they dont really matter. its kinda funny theyve made an attempt to keep charles a scumbag, but they cant stop turning max into an a$$hole

as for the "flatscans", you cant run from your actions. all the apologies mean nothing to people youve wronged if they dont want your apology. like how hes justified in dunking on the red skull every time he runs into him, hes too deep in the game to act like he can be absolved. he needs to join up with maifold and try to find peace in the outback instead of trying to be the face of mutant liberation

Mutants played in a lot of people's faces in that country too. Emma mindfukking people and max saying mutants were the new gods, and there's the whole Reed Richards/richards family shyt they pulled. I'm not saying that he doesn't face racism, but some of the shyt that just happened with them are consequences of their own actions, and they got spared getting dunked on by the illuminati because space racists and their robot cohorts hit them first.
The mutants did nothing wrong

:hubie:

Even reading that storyline they could have (and should have) kept Krakoa, but editorial was burnt out and now we have these weird post Krakoa storylines where everything is shyt.
