I have not finished watching the new episode but I am already seething that they've returned to villainizing Magneto. Like I get it--he shut down the power..but calling him a 'bad' guy, threatening to kill him without even trying to speak with him [i'm looking at you, wolverine].

The man actively tried to do better. To be better. He proved himself he is capable and showed he can be helpful. Instead of taking all that into account, they're back to seeing the worst--which I can see from past patterns I guess--but it is still maddening. The man suffered trauma upon trauma, was there at Genosha. Granted they don't know he was captured by Bastion, not one of them even think to show some empathy for the man [so far at least]. They're all ready to return to labeling him as a 'villain'.

Like fuck off. And what's worse just before he resurfaced, everyone was saying: Magneto warned us. He said it repeatedly. They pretty much understood what he was saying all the damn time.

And while I'm not saying condone his actions to kill the earth [tho justified tbh], show him some understanding. How can you agree and understand the man one day and then turn around and suddenly say such stupid, superficial nonsense about killing him etc.
