The how point of this comment was to Inform us about fake DB accounts. So please don’t take every time Death Battle leaves a comment somewhere as a chance to make a request. Their most likley not gonna see It here any way. Or care because this Isn’t where your supposed to make those kinds of requests. This Is also Not the point of there comment and completely goes against and has nothing to do with what they just said If you really want them to do these match ups. Then please, Use the Death Battle suggestion form In the link In the description of every video, To submit a match up Idea you may have. But spamming stuff like this every time they leave a comment Is gonna make them not want to do the match up because of how desperate you seem to come off and spam them to do a match up asking them at the wrong place and time Death Battle Is obviously not gonna see what you say hear because they get notifications for literally every comment on every one of their videos. Using the Suggestion form guarantees that they’ll actually see it And Thank you for the warning, DB. Yeah, I got messaged twice already by a account claiming to be “Death Battle”.

I love how, when Tetsuo goes full body-horror, Magneto seems hopeless and kind of looses the will to fight; that is until he hears Tetsuo's thought "Help me". He then realizes that it is his mission to rescue this kid from the suffering of his own existance. That sparks the will to fight again, but for a much heroic, if tragic, cause. Not to survive, but to "rescue" Tetsuo.

[@rogue_2k374]

Also look at his eyes. During most of the fight they are white, a sort of “neutral” mindset, but during most of the points where Magneto is most angry, especially the brain blast before Tetsuo begs for help, they are red, showing his rage. But when he is grabbed by Ego Death Tetsuo his eyes are human. I think this is supposed to be his, well, human side so to speak coming out and giving him a better reason to fight than him being racist.

@King of The Zinger I suggest you to write a novel, your way of describing yourself is so good

[@Quigus]

@King of The Zinger That attitude right there is why you should be seeing a therapist… You took an entirely pessimistic stance upon the mere mention of you receiving help. Therapists take up their profession because they genuinely enjoy helping people. They go through years upon years of expensive education (as you snidely noted) just so they can spend half of their career paying off that schooling. Do you think someone would go through all of that just to “likely not care or contribute” with their patient? Look, I know you must have been hurt in the past and I won’t act like I know what happened. But I do know that carrying yourself like a victim of circumstance and believing that the world is against you, isn’t going to help you in any way. It’s only going to push people even further away and cause you to cast blame onto others for your own problems. Ostracizing yourself even further through resistance.

In this fight especially, the fact that Magneto showed empathy for the espers' pain and ended Tetsuo's suffering with a single accurate shot shows compassion that I didn't previously know he had.

After rewatching this episode I actually gained a newfound appreciation for Magneto and everything he stands for. From his really cool and interesting powers to his tragic origin story to his conflict with Xavier and the X-Men and all the people that made his childhood hell. I actually felt bad for the guy. I’m sure he had good intentions (misguided as they were) but it turned out in a way he never expected that made him reconsider his actions, it’s a tale of how one started out as a villain become a good guy. At the same time though it kind of makes you wonder who the real villains of the story are: Humans or mutants. Something to make you think, food for thought.

Magneto has always been the gentleman's gentleman. Especially to those with powers that they don't want or can't control. He might be a villain, but Magneto's not a monster.

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

Magneto is a villain, but his villainy doesn't really come from hatred or evil IMO. It comes from his experience during one of humanity's greatest atrocities and his absolute faith that his people, the mutants, are the future and his fear that humanity will attempt to destroy them out of fear of losing their place as the dominant species on Earth. That fear made him decide to destroy humanity first, but the fact that he started out as an X-Man and joined them again later once he realized his methods were only hurting his people more than helping them is proof of this. He does care about people, but he's a pragmatist that embodies the idea that "humanity will eventually push our kind until it becomes a battle to determine the survival between us or them, and I damn well intend to make sure that we're the ones that make". I have no problem imagining Magneto genuinely feeling bad for Tetsuo and killing him as a mercy rather than simply for his own survival because despite the horrible things he's done, he's not an altogether horrible person. At least not in the main continuity.

[@SM-rw6dt]

​@@JustChuck1982 Tetsuo has human side too. In manga, he absolutely obliterates Tokyo to rubble and those who oppose him into red paint, yet throughout the entire story he cannot bring himself to actually destroy Kaneda who is his lifelong friend. And Kaori, his girlfriend further exposes his capability to empathy both in movie and manga, showing that he actually isn't a complete psychopath, since psychopaths are wired to not feel anything towards anyone. In both movie and manga when his body starts to grow into eldritch horror, he begs Kaneda to help him and to run away, showing that he never had genuine hatred towards him, but he just wanted to be validated as human instead of a runt.

[@puffpuffpassmako]

I love how when Tetsuo begged magneto to end it, magneto stopped holding back immediately and ended the fight nearly instantly, implying magneto was holding back the majority of the fight but took it serious when he realized it was a child in pain.

more or less this is quite accurate. Humans he doesn't really care about but in recent times he has come to see that his methods are causing more harm then good. If he see's a mutant in trouble, no matter whom it is, he has there back and will save them regardless. As far as humans go, he won't purposely kill them but he won't go out of his way to save them. If they aren't messing with him he won't bother them.

But it has been since the late '80s that he decided less on the "conquering and subduing the world" and more on "creating safeheaven for mutants to protect them from humans" as a solid alternative. He has not been the direct enemy of the Xmen in a while, but he has challenged their point of wiev to the point that they conceded him the point, and latelly they even built not one, but two full on places "for mutants only" with shared ruling!

[@Oloistogamersloungeeistepisogl]

Magneto is technically a God so. In his ending of Marvel Super Heroes arcade game when he beats Thanos and steals his gauntlet he literally can create planets and is worshipped as a God. And that is just one game showing one of the million things that a God like Magneto can do. Imagine how du m b someone needs to be to think that Tetsuo could last more than a second against him.

[@milanunosson9355]

i always thought he could just move metal around

[@johnlocke8642]

In the Apocalypse movie he moves the Earth by controlling the entire magnetic field. Even then, thats just a glimpse of what he can really do/what he’s fully capable of in the comics.

I predicted Magneto would win. As I said, Magneto has been using his powers for decades, and has experience against mutants with telepathic or telekinetic powers. And that special helmet was made specifically to prevent telepaths from getting into his head. Not even Charles Xavier, the most powerful telepath in the world, could bypass that helmet. So this fight was over before it began, Magneto had Tetsuo severely outclassed.

Interesting one. I wasn't sure how this would go; obviously Magneto had the edge in control and experience, but I thought maybe Tetsuo's "ego death" form might overwhelm him. But the point about proton collapse is valid; the energy was polarized, therefore Magneto could affect it.
