I really hope they don't make him evil later on. This redemption path he's taking reminds me of Megatron becoming an Autobot in the comics. I love villians like these.
Yeah, I agree. His heel-face turn is the most powerful thing in the series . . . and OMG, that freaking scene slaps hard. Resetting Magneto would only diminish this, I don't even give a damn about whatever the comics did. In fact, I would say that comics tend to have too many cooks in the kitchen and tend to reboot and retcon themselves for a reason. This show needs to be allowed to run with this, whether or not it's actually comic-accurate. Relegating him back to 'business as usual' would only hurt the series going forward.
If memory serves right. In the original Animated Series, he's backstory isn't tied to WWII. Xavier said that: "Remnants of the old army that has so brutally occupied his small country returned, attempting to retake it". And the army depicted are not the Nazi's at all. They're wearing green. It was in later series, as well as the films that the holocaust was restored to his backstory. I guess that story element was considered too extreme for Kids Show censors at the time. I could be wrong though.
@@thesilverblack708 nah you're right 90s restrictions couldn't let the show reference the Holocaust cause it was too dark. All they could do is imply it. This trial retcons the Holocaust back into his story subtly. These are the changes I'm absolutely excited about
I liked how it took every fiber of his being to try and step in Xavier’s shoes. Using arguments to appeal to humans while still recognizing Mutants healing
My man's tits are supposed to be out, they CENSORED his outfit SMH. (To be clear, I'm joking, but if you've never seen the original version of this outfit you should definitely check it out, Magneto's pecs were just sticking out of the sides of it. It was ridiculous, iconic, and while I'm sad this take on it isn't QUITE as silly I'm still happy to see it.)
I'm watching the original series (I'm at season 4) and it feels so weird to see Magneto as a hot beefy guy. Especially when I grow up with the live action movies with Ian McKellen
Gotta give it to him. Mags is REALLY trying to be better. I get he's not a Saint, but it's a bit sanctimonious for the UN to condemn him when they're pulling stunts like the Sentinel program. Neither side acquits themselves with honor, but at least Magneto is honest.
Yeah, he's NEVER lied, NEVER manipulated anyone, and NEVER done anything cruel or barbaric before. They're not being sanctimonious, they're being lawful. The moment he had a collar on, all they had to do was to shoot him in the head. Instead, they're giving him a trial. Which is more than HE would have done had the roles been reversed. Magneto isn't trying to be better. The only reason he's doing isn't because of desire to better himself. He's just aping Xavier out of friendship. Let's stop treating him as having even a fraction of Charles' morals, especially THIS version of Charles.
@@Ares99999 The best part is how at the slightest provocation he IMMEDIATELY reverts to his megalomaniac shtick and doesn't even bother to conceal how much he has to restrain himself from going full genocidal again. Oh, sure, he's not going to murder a dozen innocent people who were doing their job and had nothing to do with the attack on Storm... THIS TIME. But let those insects have a firm reminder that he can flatten them at any moment. That's oghta put their mind at ease and do wonders for promoting peaceful coexistance.
@@Alknix That makes Magneto a truly compelling villain though. He knows that the key to justifying his cause is to preach for coexistence while biding his time to achieve mutant supremacy and crush the humans once and for all. Gaslight people into sympathizing with him before going full force in his sinister intent.
1:19 "Humanity must protect itself" The exact same vibes from when far too often I hear the phrase "Israel has a right to protect itself". Magneto was right: "The oppressed; become the oppressors".
Interesting that this may be the only story that has even hinted at Magneto’s feelings about Israel. I’m legitimately curious how that would be handled by some writers, should they decide to deal with it.
There is not a single country in the world or the universe that would sit quietly after hundreds of its inhabitants were brutally slaughtered by fanatics
I am wondering if they might go “X Men vs Avengers” since they did imply that there might be crossover. Definitely not AvX, like Cyclops isn’t that zealous yet and that even marked the beginning of dislike of Marvel team crossovers in mutant affairs. Like Rogue got her power from Ms Marvel (Carol) and Wolverine did work with Captain America (who also saved Magneto from the camp and strong opponent of anti mutant policies).
It's rumored that Beau DeMayo and Disney parted ways mutually because he needed to fulfill a clause in a previous contract before being placed in charge of Marvel's entire 90's animation department.
Ohhhhh, DC, DC, DC Comics....you guys are in TROUBLE...! This show is GOOOOOD! You're gonna have to fight back by giving a new season to something beloved, abandoned, and possibly even left to rot in the shadows of inferior versions, and the only way you'll be able to do that is by bringing back Justice League or the REAL Teen Titans show!
This is a reach on my high hopes, this is all about the X-men it's their show but I'd love it if they made some refs to the other marvel animated series of the 90s
They did that all the time in the original. Heck. They literally had a spiderman crossover episode and snuck spiderman into the xmen at points in partial shots.
It is, his own people know the horror of being hunted and persecuted for simply being different, yet they were so willing to participate in the same behavior perhaps in the vain attempt of trying to fit in with others. Humans as a whole always seek some form of companionship, the only problem is they can be so desperate for it that they end up doing things that they deep down know is wrong.
The opressed became the opressors. A jewish magneto says this in today's world of Israel and Palestine. This series is a hidden moral message. Bravo Xmen/disney.
This has literally always been one of the themes of the x-men. Humanity claims to only be protecting themselves from mutants but that protection comes at the cost of eradicating mutantkind
@@Thund3rDrag0n12 Well, the fact that Magneto, Apocalypse and Sinister exist makes humans have a good, solid point. Pisses me off when someone wants to link it to current, real-life events. You can see anything you want if you squint hard enough.
@@lonelywolf5659Yeah Magneto may make very valid points and is sympathetic. But the fact remains he has and is willing to take actions that satisfy his own wants/needs or simply to quel his ever burning hatred. He might claim to fight for mutants yet he has a number of times killed them, if they don't agree with him or anger him enough. He's even tried to kill his former kids in the past as well.
magneto is not a villain he is a realist, he is never good but nor was he evil. he doesn't do things because h wants to but must do it for the sake of what he is fighting for.
The X-Men comics literally have thousands of villains to use. And there have been lots of would-be successors to Magneto in the Brotherhood. Including his son Quicksilver, who in this continuity hates his father.
I may watch this more if this is version of Magneto aware that him, mutants and humanity are being manipulated by an alien pantheon wanting to enslave their world so they can put their OWN version of their species there. Can't remember the exact comic but it was a thing that was badly written due to being holiday-rushed.

I'm watching X-Men of right now. Magneto has done bad things but he for the most part has been pretty civil.
Every part of me is screaming that he planned this in some way but there’s no way he would let a mutant have their powers taken right?
i hope this isn't magneto playing a long con. i seriously dig this take on him.
This is pretty much how he is in the comics now. Much more tamed than how he used to be.

Would mutants willingly submit to wearing power-suppressing collars without the Sentinel program? Don't thing so.

Anti villain or anti hero is a much better description of Magneto
The longer history proved him right, the harder it was to make him the bad guy.
Probably an anti-hero or villain.
Even if he’s right about stuff the actions he has caused before don’t make him a saint.
I'm pretty sure this was a plot from the writer Chris Claremont in the 80s.
It's the same cover art

Magnificent speech by magneto
1:19 "Humanity must protect itself"
The exact same vibes from when far too often I hear the phrase "Israel has a right to protect itself".

Then Mutants will oppressed the humans, so the humans have every right to keep the mutants in check.
