Complex but you can understand where he’s coming from, he’s a victim one of the worst events in human history AND he’s a mutant that just adds fuel to the fire for his hatred of humanity
Hey, heroes! Thank you for watching another video! I'll be streaming again on Twitch again this weekend. On Saturday I'll be playing Mega Man X5, and on Sunday I'll be starting X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Uncaged Edition! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite
What a tumultuous life. Most of his history is very new to me (aside from what I learned thru the movies) and begs to reason if Charles hoped to "Mastermind" repress Erik's memories to lessen his threat against humanity. Great video, as always. It is far easier to comprehend these characters with your excellent summaries.
Magneto is both sympathetic but confusing. He suffered horrific stuff only to turn around and become pretty much the same kind of person that victimized him. His story is a true tragedy from beginning to end even when he was winning.
@@DMcPherson mutants are superior. He took Genosha because humans are racists and kill mutants at the drop of a dime..so he settled for the island at that juncture.
@@Mickieshelton He could have took the X man rout helped make the world better show people they had nothing to fear. Magneto had a lot of power if he built a few skyscrapers he could've turned public opinion around. He didn't because in his heart he doesn't want to live with those he considered below him(even if mutans are geneticly more talented they still think the same way as humans in that way they're not superior but equals.)Just a matter of perspective I suppose.
While I appreciate their attempts to make Magneto a nuanced and sensitive character given their attempt to tie him to a terrible human tragedy to emphasize his goals against humankind, I can't get over the jump from "he was a young man who fought tooth and nail to survive the Holocaust" to "and then he put on an anti-mind control helmet and a cape and started calling himself Magneto, Master of Magnet". There's just always that _distinct_ line that crosses over into "ah yes, and now we're Silver Age comic books again".
Can you do history of the U-Foes, the Annihilators, the Squadron Supreme, Doom Maidens, the Midnight_Sons, Young Avengers, Dark Avengers, Masters of Evil, the Thunderbolts and the Champions?
Is the friendship between Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto the best in the X-men comics even though their teams(Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Men) have major disputes? Can you do history of Professor Charles Xavier and Onslaught?
In the men's 3 movie after X died, one of my favorite lines is magneto looking at a young mutant with him who mocked X and said "Charles Xavier has done more for mutant kind than you ever will!"
@@harbour08 thats one of the things about magneto he'd never kill or hurt charles but any other mutant is fair game to him because they developed a a decades long friendship long before he fully embraced his anti-human stance
Amazing video as always! Magneto are arguably the most complex villain in Marvel, second only to Dr. Doom, depending on who you ask. While I'm not familiar with X-Men comics (Spider-Man and Hulk are more my speed), I always find Magneto to be one of the best characters that I like learning more about.
Which X-Men movie and TV Show did a great job in portraying Magneto? Who did a great job in portraying the live action version of Magneto between Sir Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender, do you think one of them should have reprised their role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?
In movies they often face heroes against a dark reflection of themselves. I was thinking about Black Knight appearing in film soon and I wonder if they might face him against the villain "Dreadknight". His history is bizarre!
Is Magneto one of the X-Men characters with the tragic story about his childhood? Why did he let his daughter Polaris get adopted by another family since he could have gotten a second chance of being a father after he lost Anya(what powers did she have) because of the humans?
are you seriously asking if Magneto is one of the X Men characters with a tragic childhood story? he has THE MOST tragic story. also, did you even watch the video?
The nerve of Magda to be terrified of his power display after his only child burns alive! Then she literally is trusting of a lady goat named Bova and she’s never seen again! 🤔🤔🤨😜
Magneto's not WRONG. That's what makes him such a compelling and hard villain to fight. He has every right to be angry, to think that the world has no hope, to believe the best he can do is to protect those who are the target of hatred and venomous rhetoric. There's nothing in his history to prove him wrong. Not yet. Maybe sometime in the future we can stand apart from magneto's perspective. be a little more Xavier, a little less William Stryker.
@@johnraymond1861 I've never thought that Magneto thought humans were ACTUALLY inferior to mutants, at least not in the same way. He's lived around humans, seen our worst sides enough to finally come to the conclusion that humanity will never quash our hateful side. So he committed to protecting his own unlike Charles who wanted to save humanity's soul on top of it. I can't begrudge Magneto for not bothering.
@@samwill7259 WOW you most not be a long time X-Men reader? Magneto has been both good and evil. When he is evil he thinks humans are dead end in evolution. Even in in the movies He says we are the future not them Charies they no longer matter. Professor X wants to live in piece as equals think Dr King. History showed hate begets hate
Merry I was wondering I love your content and the way you cover the marvel universe but I want to know if you know any channels that cover dc the same way you cover marvel I would love to find out
@@alfieingrouille1528 You are so welcome. Happy to have helped. He is on a short break now, so you have time to binge watch and catch up. My personal favourite is the origin of Darkseid 😁
Could someone help me find all the comics used for this video? I know one is magnetos testament but the art looks more modern here. Any help would be good
Magneto is one of the ONLY villains I actually sympathize with I would hate human as well if I went through the holocaust and the way humans treated mutants i would hate humans too
Can you do history of the Beyonder, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Ultimo, Darkhawk, Union Jack, Annihilus, the Badoon and the Broods?
I can totally Relate to Max watching your people get Discriminated is not something You can let Go And Losing everything can really Change You I Don't blame Him For taken Extreme Measures I especially ❤ The Way Chris Claremont Written Magneto He truly Does Have a heart
I studied the Holocaust during my days as a university student. One of the most unnerving of subjects I've ever covered because I was reading about pure evil. And the fact that the source material that you used, the miniseries "Magneto: testament" put so many accurate details of Auschwitz - the sonderkommando unit, the collection of glasses and gold teeth from corpses, the gas chambers, the executions - hits a lot of nerves. It makes your mind scream out the one word, the one question: why? This is what makes Magneto a very complex antagonist because you identify with his rage and his pain only to a certain point. This makes him one of the best villains and sometimes antiheroes. Now that Disney owns Fox and has the rights to X-Men, they have the opportunity to outdo the original films. But given how they have mishandled psychological characters like the Hulk, I highly doubt they will go that deep into very sensitive subject matter like this. Understandably, it may be upsetting to viewers who are Jewish and have relatives that were victimized in the days of World War II. No, not may be upsetting. It will be upsetting. Yet, it is my hope that they could find the proper balance to allude to those crimes against humanity while still delivering magneto and all of his complexities as he should be. Brilliant video. I look forward to more.
They need to keep his Holocaust origin in the MCU especially in this day and age when you have ppl like Kyrie and Kanye n all these people denying it ever happened
What do you think is the best thing about Magneto in the comics and which movie or TV show do you think did a great job in portraying him? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best? What do you think he would be like if he appeared in the MCU?
Can you do origin of the Grim Reaper, Molecule Man, Sentry, Mr Immortal, Captain Universe, Dreadknight, Hypnotia, Blizzard, Starhawk, Flerken, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, Ronan the Accuser, Ego the Living Planet, the Living Tribunal and Super_Skrull along with Avenger-X and the Protector?
Can you do origin of the Brood, the Gladiator, Hyperion, Blue_Marvel, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer, Stingray, Quasar, Squirrel_Girl, Ultimus, Kly'bn, Kang the Conqueror, Annihilus and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universe?
Wow, I never realized Mr. Sinister was that evil. Even the Joker wouldn't work with the Red Skull in a Marvel/DC comic story. "I might be a criminal lunatic, but I'm an American criminal lunatic!"
He’s portrayed horribly in the 20th century Fox movies. Definitely a difference when Stan Lee is consulting vs when he did not. Because the 90’s X-men cartoon was the best interpretation of magneto. I wouldn’t say he’s a villain I see him as a anti hero and some one who can’t find the good in others because of his time during the Holocaust. The X-men is about human rights so Xavier represents mlk’s ideology and magneto represents Malcolm x’s dogmatic ideology. Magneto can be villainous but I think sinister is definitely more…sinister. I think you are supposed to relate to magneto obviously don’t condone his actions but he’s a great catalyst for depictions of what happens at the hand of humankind’s ugliness.
x men 97 has opened my eyes to magneto. All he wants is for his kind to thrive without the prejudice of human hate… Almost too on the nose to not like the guy… His methods are just very round about and aggressive ☹️
So his wife called him a monster and leaves him after he uses his powers and the first thing she does is go to a walking talking bull. Yeah, totally makes sense.
Due to the Sliding Timeline of the Marvel Universe, would it eventually come to a point where Magneto would be too young to have been a Holocaust survivor(lest be ends up being _so_ old) that they'd have to change his origin?
I don't think they'd necessarily need to change it. There are plenty of characters who were canonically born before World War II. There are obvious ones like Captain America and Bucky, but Black Widow and Spider-Woman were both born in the 1920s and have explanations as to why they haven't aged. There's no reason they couldn't also come up with an reason for Magneto to stay healthy and strong for decades.
I truly wonder how as time goes on and we move further away from the 1940s how the origins for characters such as Magneto will change. After all, he can’t be a Holocaust survivor and still be under 50 in 2090. I wonder if marvel (and even dc) will make up an event in a made up country or change magneto origin to be a victim of another historical event.
What do you think Magneto used his powers at powers at his young age to get back at the people who tortured him and freed the slaves so that he can live happily ever after with Magda and Anya?
I love Magneto because he isnt really wrong in his assessment of the situation Mutants find themselves in. And in the case of the Apocalypse timeline all of Max's fears about humanity's hatred for Mutants had come to pass. If i was mutant i would totally be swayed over to Magneto's way of viewing the world
I love the xmen but i prefer it when they are only adjacent to the marvel universe because of love their themes but I feel like they are contradicted if they exist along side heros such as the fantastic four spiderman and many others why are the x men and by extension mutants hated but super heros loved it never made any sense to me I prefer mutants with their own version of the marvel universe separate from the regular one without characters like spider man or the fantastic four
Yea I kinda agree with you but I think it’s because mutants are born with powers and majority probably do more bad than good overall so I guess they have like a bad rep or at-least the media portrays them that way. I’ve tried to make sense of it too but idk it’s weird lmao
Could you do a history of Marvel's The Gargoyle(Isaac Christians) first appearing in The Defenders 94( April 1981). I love this character, and I feel there just aren't enough people who know about him.
How long till you do history of America-Chavez in honour of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness along with the history of the Grim Reaper?
Magneto may have lead a tragic life, but his behavior is rather hypocritical and by all means conflicting. Here's a man who dealt with anti-Semitism, and survived the Holocaust. Despite having to deal with PTSD, what better way than to conquer humanity by becoming the very thing of what his past tormentors did to him? He claimed Humans and Mutants can't co-exist and that Mutants are the dominant species. The irony was that what Nazis said Germans, or Aryans were the dominant race and that Jews were inferior. Magneto became the very thing he hated the most.
Because he saw first hand the terror humans can inflict when they don’t understand something so instead of letting them slowly slowly kill them off or strip them of every right they have he plays offense
Magneto is one of the most complex characters in the Marvel Universe. A 2nd video is definitely warranted
I second that statement💪🏿👍🏿🤙🏿we want a part two please 🙏🏿
Whatever Magneto's past in enduring nasty events, his actions are still outright evil and destructive.
Complex but you can understand where he’s coming from, he’s a victim one of the worst events in human history AND he’s a mutant that just adds fuel to the fire for his hatred of humanity
I believe he's one of the Most compelling characters in Marvel.
Magneto is awesome one of the best marvel villains of all time thanks for sharing love magneto

It was shown in the Fox X-Men movies , x-men 1, x-men 2, x-men first class and X-men apocalypse
- _"Mankind Has Always Feared What It Doesn't Understand."_
Magneto my favorite anti-hero.
Everyone favorite character in fiction and I never c anyone hating magneto

A truly complex character, indeed. I have a better understanding of Magneto now. Thanks, MM!
One of the saddest stories in comics.😢
Magneto is the x-men number one villain of all time.
Even though eisenhart clashed with the x-men multiple times He secretly respect every single one of them
@@jalenikezeue4114and was always deeply saddened that his and Xavier’s differing ideologies drove them apart.

Fasbender
I EXPECTED AN HOUR LONG VIDEO ON MAGNETO ..
I haven’t watched this yet but I cannot believe this is less than 20 minutes. Let’s get to this dissertation! Happy 4th!
In movies they often face heroes against a dark reflection of themselves. I was thinking about Black Knight appearing in film soon and I wonder if they might face him against the villain "Dreadknight". His history is bizarre!
Another awesome video.
Am I the only one that can't stay away through these videos

Do you have a station where you do all DC info, and if you do, can you put the info for it. I really really enjoy this one, thanks
It’s stupid that Marvel changed Magneto’s parentage of Wanda and Pietro.

Mutant Rights Now
