The outcome is only uncertain for those who disbelieve.

it’s time to face facts: charles xavier’s liberalism does nothing for the mutant cause.

if you didn’t know about their powers, charles xavier and erik lehnsherr would look like a pair of distinguished elder gentlemen. the difference between the two is that for as long as he’s been in the public eye, erik lehnsherr has always explicitly identified himself as the mutant magneto, while for years, professor xavier put on the facade of being a “normal” flatscan scientist.

but it doesn’t end there: as leader of the brotherhood, magneto never required his allies to wear masks or hide who they were. meanwhile, professor x almost always appears in public with only the most attractive (by conventional flatscan standards) of his students. he even goes as far as providing holographic image inducers for his less “palatable” students.

what all this tells us is that charles xavier only cares about you if your powers and appearance wouldn’t cause a stir at the country club, while magneto fights for the rights of all mutants

now, more than ever: magneto was right

Magneto is a Nazi, he just replaced Aryan with mutant. Xavier plays the long game, slowly getting people used to mutant-kind so that at each stage humans are more accepting of mutants without ever forcing a conflict.

Did you just call Eric Leshner, a holocaust survivor, a nazi 🙃

Yes, because he’s a big ole hypocrite. Believes in a"master" race? Check. Wants to enslave or wipe out the “lesser” race? Check. Started nations where humans weren’t allowed to live? Check. Terrorist group with Brotherhood in the name? Check. Has allied with the Red Skull? Check.

The Red Skull even says they’re not that different!

I’m not sure I even have the energy to do this but….

Calling Erik Lehnsherr/Max Eisenhardt/Magneto a Nazi is not only disrespectful to Jewish fans/readers but also a gross misinterpretation of his Character.

For one, Nazi is not a word used to describe just any form of nationalism, racism, or terrorism. Nazi is a word used and given to a very specific group of people, who believe in the total suppression and annihilation of Jews, blacks, gays, and anyone who is not heterosexual and white. By labeling anyone who does not share these beliefs a Nazi, (let alone a man who would have died clawing at the walls of a gas chamber) you are diminishing the severity of the term.

Moving forward, just because Erik is not a real person does not mean he is not a Jewish Character. His identity as a Jew and as a holocaust survivor are integral to his very nature. So you cannot pardon the offense you give by saying he’s not a real Jewish person.

Furthermore, it is a great disservice to call him a Nazi because it undermines the reasons why he does the things he does. Nazis were evil for the sake of supremacy. Erik’s evil comes from his pain. He was hunted first as a Jew and then as a mutant. He spent many years of his life hunting Nazi war criminals only to be betrayed by humanity again and again and again. Erik developed an identity around being a mutant and what that meant for him and people like him. He also developed a hatred for those who would oppress them.

Erik’s story is not one of a Nazi seeking supremacy for the sake of being superior. But of a man who was tortured, hunted, and oppressed until he no longer saw peace with humanity as an option. He is the comic book incarnation of the rage of a people oppressed.

All you demonstrate is that you do not understand his character or his significance to oppressed people who would agree with him.

This is like the same kind of thinking that makes people say that antifa are just as bad as fascists 🤔

Also, was not Xavier inspired by MLK? In turn does that not mean Magneto was inspired by Malcolm X? Two civil rights leaders who acted for the cause on very different ways.

Also, didn’t xavier and magneto work together on different accounts to preserve snd keep safe not only mutants but the world?

Magneto is just tired of tiptoeing on normals feelings just cuz normal people ASSUME mutants want to wipe them out and use that FEAR to justify the oppression of mutants.

You built these weapons to destroy us. Why? Because you are afraid of our gifts. Because we are different. Humanity has always feared that which is different. Well, I’m here to tell you, to tell the world, you’re right to fear us. We are the future! We are the ones who will inherit this earth. And anyone who stands in our way will suffer the same fate as these men you see before you. Today was meant to be a display of your power. Instead, I give you a glimpse of the devastation my race can unleash upon yours. Let this be a warning to the world and to my mutant brothers and sisters out there, I say this: no more hiding. No more suffering. You have lived in the shadows in shame and fear for too long. Come out. Join me. Fight together in a brotherhood of our kind. A new tomorrow, that starts today.

So I have this theory, but I’ve had trouble explaining it. 

Like I think a lot of people think that Erik was just flinging those bullets around willy-nilly, that he was being careless, that he didn’t excise enough control over where the bullets went, and that’s why Charles got shot. 

But I think Erik absolutely had control over that bullet, and even as angry and distracted as he was, he put it on a very specific trajectory so no one would get hurt by it. 

The problem was, he hasn’t realized that Charles was moving, that he was getting up.

So he didn’t lose track of the bullet - the bullet went exactly where he sent it. He was paying plenty of attention to the bullet. 

It was Charles he wasn’t paying attention to, Charles who he lost track of, Charles he overlooked. 

Bullets are easy. It was the actions of a real and breathing human being (or whatever) that fucked Erik up. 

And ain’t that always the way?
