"You know, in Genosha, I felt a lot of things: pain, grief, admiration for those who fought despite the odds. But you know what the oddest thing was? No one seemed shocked or surprised - *not even me.* Yes, I was scared, but really I just had the most profound sense of déjà vu, as if past, present, and future didn't matter and never had, because we always end up in the same ugly place. Thing is, Magneto knows us better than Charles ever did, knows we know better, that most of us experience tragedies like Genosha as a bit of déjà vu before getting on with our day. But the scariest thing about Genosha wasn't the death or the chaos. It was a thought, the only sane thought you can have when being chased by giant robots that were built to crush you: Magneto was right." -Dr. Cooper. Chills.

In Episode 1, Henry made a comment about Tolerance is Extinction, and the whole season seems to wrap around that idea. Bastion's plans, the x-men after fallout of Genosha, Magneto's declaration...they all seem to have a version of this conclusion with vastly different responses. Bastion sees tolerance as a cancer, Magneto sees it as forfeiting before an unyielding foe, and even Beast seems to think that they shouldnt settle for mere tolerance, but acceptance.

13:36 That reminded me of in World War Hulk when Hulk was fighting Rockslide and he just snapped his stone arms off and threw them in a random direction.😂 It was the same fight where Darwin, one of the most broken mutants ever because his power is the ability to adapt to any situation, activates his power and it teleports him five states away from the mansion because even his mutant power said, "Nah, we're not winning this fight."

Morph had a brief scuffle with Wolverine in the original show (Season 2, Episode 3 "Whatever It Takes"), where the two engaged in a mirror match. Their claws managed to hold up to the real deal for a bit until Logan sliced them off. At the very least, Morph's abilities are deceptive enough to maintain the masquerade, but it'll always pale in comparison to the genuine article. Also, in the first episode of the original show, Storm switched out of her civilian clothes in a similar fashion: like magic. I don't know IF that's even part of her powerset, but since she's often considered a goddess, I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually one of her abilities.

It depends on the writer. In theory Magneto should be (and canonically is) one of 10 most powerful mutants in existence because magnetism is one of the 4 fundamental forces of nature meaning those little electromagnetic fields means he can affect ANYTHING that isn't nonmagnetic (so rubber, wood, glass, and plastic). Even water is magnetic, it's just diamagnetic so not by much.

[@RavenCloak13]

​@@SeruraRenge11 No, he's only that powerful because they won't allow other mutants who can just kill him instantly to kill him instantly like Jean with her telekinesis. She can just crush him with her mind. Or Nightcrawler just teleporting a tree into Mangeto, or Storm killing him with a cosmic storm or freezing, or burning him alive from the inside out, or drowning or turning off his magnetism by electrifying the atmosphere of the iron around to just negate magnetism and so on.

Bare minimum, he's trying to improve the living conditions of all mutants, regardless of social standing. If a similar massacre happened to Griffith, it would've affected him differently. He'd be annoyed by the loss of "his men", but wouldn't weep for them. He would rally what remained, rebuild his numbers, and kill those responsible in the slowest way possible.

The weird thing about the whole "Magneto was right" is that he isn't. All the trouble is being caused by other mutants, namely Bastion and Sinister. Humans are like a drop in the ocean of the problem.

[@ricardomiles2957]

You mean in this specific show right? The thing is, it doesn't matter who does the damage or makes the plan, the majority of humanity will always go for it. That's what they always hammer down in almost every time mutants are about to go extinct, humanity will take any chances to eliminate mutants

[@Brandonious15987]

It's humanities fault. Bastion was lied to by his mother and indoctrinated by human tech. I haven't seen the 1st show in a while, so I might be wrong about this next part. Mr.Sinister isn't a mutant originally. At some point he stole mutant DNA while trying to catch Jack the Ripper.

[@sleepysystem]

my brother in christ if the humans are responding to 2 bad mutants with Fuck All Mutants i do in fact think the humans are the problem lol. also bastion isnrt a mutant and mr sinister ALSO isnt originally a mutant he was a nazi collaborator that stole mutant dna and experimented on himself

[@Brandonious15987]

​@@sleepysystemBastion is a mutant on 97.

[@RavenCloak13]

​@@ricardomiles2957 Thing is we already know humans and mutants are the same thing. The X-gene is in all humans. That's it. There is not difference except ones power is on and the other isn't. If they actually wanted to stop all mutants they would turn off the X-gene forever or only the government was allowed to make mutants which makes humans and former mutants allies against the government. Sentinels should not exist because it's stupid when a better, cheaper alternative exist.

Saying 'Magneto is right' is the same as people that say Griffith did notbing wrong but Griffith arguably didnt damage the world as much as Magneto did

[@cyberninjazero5659]

Depends on the version. I don't think Mainstream 616 Magneto ever damaged the world. But this was something Ultimate Magneto did

[@Zeik56]

X-Men '97 Magento is definitely far more right than wrong. There are so many interpretations of the character out there it's impossible to make any definitive statement one way or another without handwaving a bunch of stuff, but if we're just looking at this iteration, where the show itself makes the statement, it has weight.

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

there's is no way Magneto has ever done anything close to what the Eclipse did to the world. it's a miracle ANYBODY exists after the Eclipse. then again, said bad things can be killed by a one-armed half-blind guy with a big sword, but i digress. Magneto's still a buttplug though.

[@RavenCloak13]

So the actual problem with X-men in general is the literal tech level that would allow for Sentinals, there ability to track mutants and the goverments ability to turn off and isolate a very specifi genome means all mutant threats are allowed to exist by the goverment. Just make nanobot injections which is part of the inhibitor collars and boom, no more mutants. If not injections literally make it airborne or in the water. By the time any mutant that could deal with it catches on you just cured the mutant problem and in fact, there should be no mutant problem. But comics need a threat so we have dumb robots that Magneto has shown the ability to be able to reprogram with his magnatism ability or just turn off Master Mold so no, Magneto was not only wrong but the new threat was another mutant and Magneto just killed off 70% of the population and even more mutants. Reminder Nitro is canon to this universe where if he isn't being drained constantly he will just go big boom.

[@bombbasher]

Haven’t seen a single Ep of 97 yet, but Magneto was always right. Charles is always ready to settle. Weakness

[@silentassason]

So what you're saying is. Charles' tolerance will be the mutants extinction?

[@zeroattentiongaming820]

Magneto in the Asteroid M episodes of the 92 show was both right and downright civil. Set up his own mutant paradise but still employed human astronauts, as they had the training necessary to keep things running smoothly. He didn't force the humans into servitude and they were explicitly under his protection from other mutants. Magneto was fully willing to respect and work with human governments and individuals as long as they showed he and his kind the same respect. When the mutants were the aggressor, Magneto actively spoke and acted in defense of humanity merely trying to protect themselves. Charles spends the first half of that story whining about how Magneto is undoing the very concept of coexistence, when Magneto in that whole story is pushing for physical separation but respect, cooperation and acceptance between humans and mutants. He completely gets why humanity fears his kind and agrees with punishing those deserving of it, just asks that humanity hold themselves and mutants to the same standards and knows that very fear will never make that possible unless mutants and humans are separated. There's no easy answer to the whole mutant situation but TAS Magneto's Asteroid M approach was reasonable and humane coming from a guy with every reason to hate humanity. It was a radical mutant extremist with a genuine hate boner for humanity who fucked that all up when he turned on Magneto for not wanting to genocide the human race.

[@deanospimoniful]

Charles is an uncompromising idealist. Magneto is the world weary cynic.

[@Brandonious15987]

​@@zeroattentiongaming820 I agreed with Charles on that one. Segregation was not the solution.

[@RavenCloak13]

​@@zeroattentiongaming820 Fuck, it wasn't even Magneto who fucked that up and even at the end Charles was glad Magneto was able to come to a compromise and was willing to change. It's just they can't let that actually happen because story so Cortez now fucks shit up for everyone. Especially since the government didn't want to turn off all X-genes or specifically keep them from ever activating by just employing there nanobot tech, inhibitor collar tech, and Sentinel building tech into just making a nanobot cure that turns off all mutant powers through airborne, waterborne and/or injections like flu shots that include the cure within it to just eliminate all mutant threats. Hell, you could have made a more interesting story where former mutants and humans come together with this worlds insane tech level to push back against the government who would also have the tech necessary to not only turn off said nanobots but even induce specific mutant powers given they SOMEHOW end up creating tech that lets robots copy mutant abilities.

[@oxygenrailway]

Xmen 97 Blows. Unironically taking the meme at face value is what's wrong with the show on its face. When it showed up in the comics, it was a throw-away joke on a 14 year olds t-shirt. It was put there to be an edgy thing that a kid who doesn't know better would say. Magneto kills an untold amount of people by turning off all of the electricity in the entire world (making the argument FOR sentinels), and somehow, a large portion of the fanbase think he was right. Embarrassing. The amount of glazing magneto gets in X-men 97 was off-putting. He literally groomed a teenage rogue into a relationship and we're supposed to think this guy is a well reasoned, sane individual, when hes really an ends justifies the means psychopath.

X-Men '97 is proof for folks who've never heard of anime that people will praise the worst writing imaginable if you make the fight animation fancy enough.

[@Zeik56]

I love anime, but there are so few anime out there with better writing than X-Men '97. (Relative to the ridiculous amount of anime we get per year.) We get maybe one in a year if you're lucky. This shows is leagues above the average anime trash that gets pumped out every season.

[@RavenCloak13]

​@@Zeik56 Nope. X-men in general has bad writing because no mutants should exist by the in-universe abilities. Power inhibitor collars, nanobots, Sentinel technology to track mutants and isolate the X-gene, giving robots mutant powers... SOMEHOW. Yeah, the only reason mutants exist is because they need conflict. Nevermind Magneto could have just, reprogram literally all those Sentinels and hybrid Sentinels but they won't because you need conflict. Said conflict also effects character relationships that don't actually make sense like Rouge going to fuck Magneto when she wouldn't allow herself to be with Gambit. Which makes no sense cause he could ALSO do a thing similar to Magneto which lets them "touch" but more like be a condemn around their bodies. Oh, also aliens, magicians and so on exist. Along with alien/magical mutants. There is no consistency and the story makes no sense because of it since other supers exist or tech based heroes people aren't also afraid of. Mutants might be random but you can literally find the people who are mutates in the yellow pages.
