13:40 Magneto SAYS he Toad agreed but when Toad talked about he said he was ordered too. It implies that even now Magneto still can't face what he did, even here. Wanda was already reseructed before Toad was put on "trial", but Magneto insisted that he still be exiled anyway. And why did he leave him there?
Your Editor was so confused lol, they had no idea what you were talking about with the X-Men: First Class bit. It was X-Men: Apocalypse (right before he’s recruited by Apocalypse) with that specific scene, lmfao.
Rob "LET ME TELL YOU" That was the BEST overview that I have ever heard you give. The writer gave you some prime meat and you cook and served it up to perfection. Made my eyes water. Good show mate
Out of all the mutants, they should’ve killed off is sabertooth. He’s got no redemption. He’s unredeemable. Especially considering what he did to Wolverines family again.
First… I LOVE SABRETOOTH😂 He’s the perfect antithesis to Wolverine, no one else could compare or fit his place as Logan’s nemesis Second… I think that instead of doing the Sabretooth clone war thing, I think it would’ve been cooler if they found a way to swap him and the Age of Apocalypse Sabretooth, who was a hero, then the original could have found his way back to get his revenge and we could’ve possibly got a great book out of his exploits in the AoA Universe while trying to find his way back
The fact that this story focuses on everything Magneto has done and been through really hits you in the heart his daughter Anja the names of everybody he's killed over the years the lives he saved.
One of the reasons why I love Magneto so much is because he's a living power fantasy for those that have faced injustice and for those whom seeks to protect others from it. But he always goes too far and it shows the need to balance justice with compassion.
He doesn't go to far honestly. Eye for an eye. The civilians in marvel are idiots who quickly and violently turn on the people who constantly help them every chance they get
@@nerdiklesThen tell those that choose to oppress to not hit first, you can’t hit someone and not expect to get hit back or then tell them how they are supposed to hit back, that statement symbolizes that you’re supposed to accept oppression, or on a smaller level, someone can come in your house and harm your family and you’re not supposed to do anything about it, I love Magneto, because he understands that sometimes when they take your eye, you gotta take both of theirs to protect what’s yours, he gave them back what they gave and they played the victim and made him the villain
@jighollygrove5589 you really really don't see the point of the quote. You strike me as someone young who is still full of more pride than common sense.
Rob. I just wanna take a moment to say thank you for that speach about forgiving yourself and moving on. I really needed to hear it. I won't go into too much detail, but i lived an insanely violent childhood, nearly any form of abuse a child can suffer. My father wanted a soldier, but instead he got me, so he tried to beat his idea of the perfect man, the perfect soldier, into a little girl. I went to a lot of dark places afterwards and lashed out at anyone who tried to get close. I pondered doing some of the worst things a person could do. Rage became the only emotion i felt comfortable feeling, and anyone and everyone around me became potentail enemy combatants. I was a monster, even if i never acted on those feelings. I kinda knew it was only a matter of time until i did. Part of me even reveled in it, felt like i was more powerful than others because of it. . . Deep down i knew that was all a lie, and after my uncle delivered his worst abuse on me and stripped me of any delusions of power and control i had, as he held me down and violated me. . . I felt that final snap, and was forced to make a choice. Do i become them monster, the demon, my family seemed dead set on making me, or did i turn away and find my own path. In the end, i did turn away. I'm likely only a free woman, and not remembered as a villain by then public because of it. It took me another decade or so tomfinally get there, but i did. Today, I'm finally happy. I married another nerdy woman, and we live mostly in peace raising and rehabilitating animals. However, at times things happen that bring back those darker thoughts and feelings, and here lately I've been very bothered by it. I've wondered if i am still a monster, if i am just another evil. I need to let those thoughts go, too. I suppose that means my story isn't over just yet. In a way, its kinda comforting, ya know. I still have work to do, scars to heal. There is still path left beneath my feet, and I'm neither too tired, nor too old to walk it.
One thing about the X-Men movies that I never understood or liked was Magneto in the second movie. He had a chance to rescue Charles from Cerebro , but he just left him there and I never understood why. Weren’t they friends?
@@matthewschwartz6607 so just throwing headcanon here, maybe he thought that the Xmen would eventually rescue him after Charles was done killing all the non mutants, then again idk lmao
I'm generally not a huge comic or superhero guy, but your story telling style has had me coming back to watch dozens of videos on a bunch of characters I didn't really think were cool before hearing some of their more interesting lore that most people don't know about. Just wanted to say thanks for making interesting comic/superhero content, keep up the good work! 👍
"I count" is a pretty important realization here. This is a list of everyone who's died because of him. Because for all he's responsible for every name on there, he's also among the victims. His is still a life cut short by his actions and inactions just like everyone else's. We far too often fail to extend compassion to ourselves like we would to anyone else. There are some absolute monsters on that wall, including the people who burned Magneto's family alive. "I count" is a moment where he sees the double standard. Where if he'd been looking at some other man who had his same story, who had committed the same crimes, he would still see their death as something wrong.
Expertly writen. Love to see Magneto taking responsibility for all the hypocracies of the mutant side. Ive always loved oldschool villain Mags but this has greatly closed the gap. People could learn a lot from him and stop being victims who blame others for everything. Man in the mirror! 🎵
There's probably alot more names on those walls that were caused by magneto rather than in his name after all how many planes fell out of the sky when he used that EMP? How many life support systems were fried? Magneto is a cool character don't get me wrong but alot of people both fans and in universe don't really talk about how Magneto is a mass murderer.
I agree.This is a good story, Mags is a great character but don't look at Magneto's back catalogue of being a mass murder. Robs work is fine but i disagree that Magneto is all forgiven again. The scale is too far stacked to the negative. Bring on the reboot in July.
8:00 Ozymandeus is the perfect representation of of "THIS IS THE BEST AND MOST FERVERANT ANYONE CAN DO...TO CREATE A SCOCIETY....and literally that message in stone is the only thing left of that.... literally means....no greater leader will always have nothing left other than the words written with nothing else to show for it....other than "everything will be simply left to dust after im gone" "so let everyone learn from this example"
You should do one of those fan made what if stories what if those 20 million mutants got resurrected and turned on humanity, or what if the X-Men turned on humanity and resurrected those 20 million mutants, and it could be a slow takeover story I miss those what if stories you used to do like red lantern, Hulk, red lantern, wolverine, black lantern, magneto what if Nightwing became the Phoenix,
11:40 I don’t know if anyone else noticed this and it’s probably just my hyper fixation…but.. why does that person in the middle in the image above have like that energy chain specifically on their knee when like, everyone else has it on the ankles…? Did they have some kind of super power that they specifically needed to put it there? Did the artist just get bored and decided to spice it up?
Damn. I've listened to you for so many years but this video cut into my soul. When you started talking about those of us that don't like where our life is and just wallow in self pity and loathing spoke to me directly. I feel motivated to do something about this. I know you won't see this comment but thanks Rob.
This current beating himself is very much the pendulum swing to the other extreme. He has spent so much time (decades, even as far as the comics are concerned) utterly ignoring the harm he's done and anyone he's hurt with the overinflated sense of entitlement & self righteousness of a total narcissist who's intentions may have started as revenge & a fight against injustice, but strayed past that a long time ago to being very much about his own ego. His current meditations of this wall of names is almost out of character (since the names on the wall are those who died, Wanda, Pietro & Toad wont appear on it, but given his treatment of them, they have more reason to be taken into account as those Magneto has wrong than most others). He would need to go this far in this philosophical pendulum swing to be able to get to some kind of balance (pandulum swing to the middle).
This comic issue showing Magneto seeing the names of all the lives he took while in the waiting room shows how much pain he's caused despite his crusade for Mutant Dominance. Now he and Storm have to face the one deity that knows darkness and despair, Shadow King!!!
I have been wondering where the Shadow King has been, this place suits him. This was a god introspective from Max, he tends to shake off the death around him as chaff then places the loss to the act they stood to commit, nope the names are recorded and he knows everyone of them. I love his dynamic with Charles.
Mickey is the Magneto of the MCU, so many have died in the defense of so many, but what have we lost? The old MCU was amazing and all of a sudden it was cool and in to be a nerd. There have been mistakes, but we have to have faith in tomorrow.
Rob, your ability to explain the philosophy behind the character and comic while simultaneously explaining the comic itself is uncanny. Peak content creation.
I've liked everyone of Your videos followed you for a while and have never been disappointed. There is one thing I miss that you did and you changed it for some reason but I thought it was yours and it was your tagline it was smooth too which made it better. Or shall I put it the period at every one of your videos at the end. That is you would say " and Yeah ".
I thought Farouk was helping them on Krakoa a while back. Is he not the Shadow King any more. Maybe they will give the the Legion FX series makeover. That was awesome.
Honestly, Legion (FX series) was too damned good. I always thought of the Shadow King as this despicable monstrosity that humanity can become... The TV show did that too but also made him incredibly human as well. But then, that whole damned show was about unreliable narration. Anything was possible and therefore impossible. Ironically, most people who've followed the MCU slept on Legion.
Also, if the Shadow King is in the lower depths of the Pit/Oubliette... That would make sense. Where the hell else was Charles going to put him where he could do no harm to others?!
From what I recall shadow king and Farouk are two separate entities. Shadow king was hijacking Farouk’s body. Farouk was brought back to krakoa and not the shadow king.
@@KhajitxiFarouk still had some ties but those were expunged in New Mutants. To be honest, a lot of writers have said different things about the Shadow King and Farouk and whether or not they’re the same person. I like the answer Vita Ayala did in their mutants run that Farouk was approached so early in life by the shadow king and had been the host for so long that, even when he was freed, he still felt trapped.
Rob, when are you going to cover the next 2 issues of Avengers Twilight? I just read the 3rd issue and it is SO GOOD. Can't wait to hear your narration and thoughts on them.
There are two ways to take the Ozymandius poem, there is the "Behold my great works, arent they bad ass. You can't compare to me." And in reality they have all turned to dust in the desert. OR... There is the idea that the destruction is his great work. That he Ozymandius destroyed this great kingdom. DESPAIR for he is coming and he is unstoppable.
Beautiful episode. Very profound. Very introspective. Judgement and mercy, this comic was inspired. Only thing I find strange, wasn't Magneto's name Erik Magnus Lehnsher? Not that it counts anyway, the issue was good.
Except the people complaining about the MCU right now ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Disney is currently F'd because of their arrogant ignorance, even Bob just dropped 80% of his stocks.
You all are missing Rob’s point. You are focusing only on the bad, much like Magneto, ignoring the good. Yes there have been bombs and Disney is to blame, but those aren’t the entirety of the MCU.
god i love magneto, he's just been written so damn good the last couple years. the ending was so powerful, i love when they showcase the good magneto is capable of.
Hmmm...I believe I have seen rumors of Magneto being the Leader of the X-Men post Fall of X....and THIS Feels like they COULD have named the series "Redemption of Magneto"....because THIS is how you Redeem a Character with so much Blood on their Hands...they seek Redemption through the Actions they have Remaining vs asking for Death as Penance. There are 2 Mutants that Grew MORE Than ANY OTHERS during the Krakoa Era....Apocalypse/Revelation and Magneto. Both have Grown FAR beyond what they were, especially En Sabah Nur. Magneto has been on this path since he Brought Kitty back back during the Utopia Era...and this would be an Excellent Path for his character... I am pretty sure that Xavier will end up having to give up his own Mind or Life against Moira & the Dominion...and when resetting the Timeline, I feel like Magneto and others will Keep Their Memories due to Xavier...
I think its interesting where Magneto brings up his side of his compromise to Charles to establish a nation of laws. I forget the comic but Cypher speaks to Charles about how the nation has lost trust in the council, Charles comes to his senses and blames he went too far with his compromise and lost sight of his own beliefs.
Love your content Rob. But can you do a video on Santa Clause in the DC universe. I know you did for the Marvel universe but please do one for DC as well.
Ewing writes a great Magneto, but I really wish that Magneto would just stay dead. They keep on ending his story and then bringing him back again and again . He’s a classic character, but I wish that they just kept him dead .
Magneto is one of the best characters that marvel has ever created both in the movies and the comics. His complexity and his character development are just a masterpiece!
Magneto has been my personal hero since the intro to God loves, Man kills... whenever that originally came out, I was a teen and it was a very powerful story.
Rob ima say this now, i changed a lot in my life and still i feel as if i dont get anywhere. I dont complain i try my best to be kind and polite but honestly i dont know anymore.
I've asked this on the days of future past video but that was like 5 years ago, can someone explain why that universe got erased? It was my favorite storyline and what got me into marvel. I wish they continued it. As a kid i was genuinely scared of all the sentinels because they were wiping out big hitters, and now every single one of my favorite X-Men comics involved sentinels or magneto
"It's like the people who complain about the MCU right now" Wonderful little addition. I feel like "Rob's List" right now are Black Bolt, She Hulk, and People who Complain about the MCU
I love Magneto, he's got so much character depth and growth. Plus he's just badass as it comes! Also, can someone tell me if Wanda and Quick Silver are his kids? He says daughter in this but is that just he considers her his kid? And are they mutants?
You know what would be a good magneto story? He's going all over Marvel universe gathering items from both friend and foe. He says nothing except he's righting a wrong. He'll basically create a cosmic device, one time use and bring back his daughter or to be accurate pull her from time the moment before she dies. Kinda the same energy as when Batman brought Damien back. As a testament to how he is as a father. He allows the good guys to take him and let's his daughter go in the custody of the X-Men and while she is normal now she will get mutant abilities later.

Also Ian McKellen as Magneto is the best casting ever.
Finally! The shadow king has come back to the Comics! (The Rock voice)
Kudos to Magneto for remembering the name of everyone he's ever un alived. I can't even remember the name of everyone in my senior class.
….The way you wrote this makes me wonder who all you’ve taken out on top of your senior class. 🤔

You all are missing Rob’s point. You are focusing only on the bad, much like Magneto, ignoring the good. Yes there have been bombs and Disney is to blame, but those aren’t the entirety of the MCU.
This easily makes magneto one of if not the most relatable character to me in marvel comics
I just love Magnetos and Storm's friendship
These Magneto vids are blowing my mind, favorite character
Awesome video - great character that has good depth. He deserves a solo movie.
god i love magneto, he's just been written so damn good the last couple years. the ending was so powerful, i love when they showcase the good magneto is capable of.
Great story. Keep covering!
We do recall everything the MCU did right, we just are complaining they don't go back to doing those things.>> You know, like good writing. ;p
Hmmm...I believe I have seen rumors of Magneto being the Leader of the X-Men post Fall of X....and THIS Feels like they COULD have named the series "Redemption of Magneto"....because THIS is how you Redeem a Character with so much Blood on their Hands...they seek Redemption through the Actions they have Remaining vs asking for Death as Penance.
There are 2 Mutants that Grew MORE Than ANY OTHERS during the Krakoa Era....Apocalypse/Revelation and Magneto. Both have Grown FAR beyond what they were, especially En Sabah Nur. Magneto has been on this path since he Brought Kitty back back during the Utopia Era...and this would be an Excellent Path for his character...
I am pretty sure that Xavier will end up having to give up his own Mind or Life against Moira & the Dominion...and when resetting the Timeline, I feel like Magneto and others will Keep Their Memories due to Xavier...
Rob we need you to do a full video on sandman overture
I think its interesting where Magneto brings up his side of his compromise to Charles to establish a nation of laws. I forget the comic but Cypher speaks to Charles about how the nation has lost trust in the council, Charles comes to his senses and blames he went too far with his compromise and lost sight of his own beliefs.
Al Ewing is writing an Instant Classic Here
Love your content Rob.
But can you do a video on Santa Clause in the DC universe. I know you did for the Marvel universe but please do one for DC as well.
This was really fire 🔥
Ouch... My heart😢 Magneto is really a well written character. Sometimes I do resent him but sometimes I feel sorry for him.
Ewing writes a great Magneto, but I really wish that Magneto would just stay dead. They keep on ending his story and then bringing him back again and again . He’s a classic character, but I wish that they just kept him dead .
Do an episode on the shadow king …. Please 🙏
All these comics reveal another "most powerful entities in marvel comics" character lol it's a longer list than I thought
18:45 LOL 100%
I thought Shadow King became a good guy or at least ally to Krakoa?
Great video 👍🏿
Magneto is one of the best characters that marvel has ever created both in the movies and the comics. His complexity and his character development are just a masterpiece!
I’m a simple man…MAGNETO. Click. Btw Magneto was right. Also I disagree with Rob on Magnus not having comics and storylines that dig into his being.
I also disagree with Rob... on most things. Magneto is always right, though.
Magneto has been my personal hero since the intro to God loves, Man kills... whenever that originally came out, I was a teen and it was a very powerful story.
Rob ima say this now, i changed a lot in my life and still i feel as if i dont get anywhere. I dont complain i try my best to be kind and polite but honestly i dont know anymore.
I felt called out
"There are too few. And yet one is too many." Damn, Magneto is a hero
That last panel... when I saw those teeth, I knew... 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
You're talking about "X-Men: Apocalypse" with the necklace. You're showing "X-Men: First Class".
I've asked this on the days of future past video but that was like 5 years ago, can someone explain why that universe got erased? It was my favorite storyline and what got me into marvel. I wish they continued it. As a kid i was genuinely scared of all the sentinels because they were wiping out big hitters, and now every single one of my favorite X-Men comics involved sentinels or magneto
HE SAID THE THING! "one of the most powerful..."
"It's like the people who complain about the MCU right now" Wonderful little addition. I feel like "Rob's List" right now are Black Bolt, She Hulk, and People who Complain about the MCU
Can you do a remake of the shadow king video?
Imagine, 20+ Million mutants, it would be like the House of M never happened.
I am still getting used to Max, not Erik being his name.
FANTASITIC! cool shxt rob.
i think we need a shadow king comics explained video
I love Magneto, he's got so much character depth and growth. Plus he's just badass as it comes! Also, can someone tell me if Wanda and Quick Silver are his kids? He says daughter in this but is that just he considers her his kid? And are they mutants?
Wow the Shadow King! This story was worth the wait
No one has killed many people as i have .
Thanos: 😂😂😂 sweet
Galactus 😂😂😂 this guy
The black winter:😂😂😂 what really
You know what would be a good magneto story? He's going all over Marvel universe gathering items from both friend and foe. He says nothing except he's righting a wrong. He'll basically create a cosmic device, one time use and bring back his daughter or to be accurate pull her from time the moment before she dies. Kinda the same energy as when Batman brought Damien back.
As a testament to how he is as a father. He allows the good guys to take him and let's his daughter go in the custody of the X-Men and while she is normal now she will get mutant abilities later.
Rob got deep on this one
Okay this solidifies it, I'm getting back to my uncanny X-Men dark phoenix novel tonight
