"Oh to play by the rules and still they come for you."

Magneto went hard with that line.

Charles: We saved you from Magneto, Logan.

Logan: What's a Magneto?

Scott: NO!

Jean: NO!

Ororo: NO!

Hank: NO!

Charles, opening his thirty-five-slide powerpoint on why Erik Lehnsherr is a good man: I'm SO happy you asked-

'Remember it' fucked me up

I'm shaking. That was... they literally showed us what mutant genocide looks like and Magneto...he knew. He was right. And all he could do in his final moments was comfort a child in the way victims of genocide always have.

In that moment it's clear that genocide never stopped, not for him and not for us.

As a SamEmma champion, I'm heartbroken, as a lover of Sam and his character and his potential to be kind, I'm in tears, however, as a lover of unhinged vengeful violence, an unapologetic supporter of villainous characters in general, and a well documented proponent of the whole "Magneto Was Right" ideology that Cate and Sam are clearly a part of, I am THRILLED and DELIGHTED.

So I did just block the anon who told me to get help bc of my magneto was right title which, more than anything else, tells me they're not familiar with the comics

But also. Trying to tell me, a Jewish comics fan who specifically specializes in the Jewish history of comic books, that Magneto is antisemitic, actually, because he was made into a Jew by a "gentle" in 1975 (which isn't even true), is so wildly a misrepresentation of what his character means in fucking 2023 that it baffled me. Like I considered answering the ask because it was like, ok this is a teachable moment. But like also fuck that guy so.

But here's the thing about magneto is that obviously he's wrong, in that killing people is wrong and in some cases he's basically represented as a terrorist. But he's also obviously right, in that it's literally been proven in the house of x storyline that mutants will never be accepted, will always be hunted and hated, and mutants can and should defend themselves against that. I'll remind you that, although genosha was far from a success, the basic idea of mutants having their own island country is essentially the exact fucking same as krakoa, which is the current wildly successful x men storyline!!!!

And that's ignoring the fact that the magneto was right slogan was born when magneto was dead, and wasn't meant to support any particular action he made, but rather general ideas as I presented them above, and then beyond that, the fact that many Jews in particular identify with the slogan because we've been persecuted and hated for being different for three thousand fucking years, and that in 2023 in particular, after seven years of an increasing rise of antisemitism, having that as the title of my blog is just pointing out the fucking obvious

(this also leaves out the context of when I, in particular, started using the title, and the content of my blog at the time, and the fact that I've had this particular pfp for about as long, and the way all three of those tie in together, but I have no doubt that the person who sent me this ask is not a long time follower of this blog. About two thirds of my followers either already followed me or followed me because of that phase in my life though, and the rest have most likely seen me refer to it multiple times, so that context is not lost on most of them)

Basically. Magneto is a character who, at first, was not very complex. But no character can stick around for sixty years without becoming complex and taking on meaning that was not necessarily intended by the original creator. At this point magneto has been a Jewish Holocaust survivor for nearly five decades, as this anon themself pointed out. He's been handled by Jewish and goyische authors alike. And pretending he's purely an antisemitic character rather than one that many Jews actively cherish and identify with and show in so many ways that you, yourself, are not Jewish, and don't have any idea what you're talking about just so you can send anonymous hate my way...

Well. Point is. Magneto was right.

Magneto recruiting the Brotherhood be like:

[magnetoisoccasionallyright]

I think we give Erik too much flack for going ahead and killing Shaw in Cuba, even while Charles was holding his mind. What was the alternative? Because I never heard anyone actually offer another plan. Maybe before they got there Charles may have thought he could hold Shaw for a while while they work out containment, but once they are there Charles says himself that he can't hold Shaw very long. So a nuclear powered Shaw is ready to blow, killing everyone on the beach, everyone on the ships, and quite probably kicking off WWIII. What was Charles'plan? I think Erik's actions are the only way any of them got out of there alive. Because Charles is very good at telling Erik what not to do, but rarely if ever actually gives any viable alternative.

If all of the X-Men are getting costume upgrades in X-Men 97, I hope we go with the style for Rogue. It would symbolize her transition to a darker storyline and a much darker emotional place as grief and rage consume her. Also I think she needs a cape as an homage to Magneto.

Finally got caught up on the BNHA anime!

So I decided to do a screenshot redraw of Stain

[tonkysexist]

I log off for one week to catch up on Fall of X and this is what I come back to.

[bookholichany]

So I read resurrection of magneto #3 and watched X-Men '97 first 2 episodes on the same day and I believe it's safe to say that I AM NOT OKAY.
