geekgirl101:majingojira:vo-kopen:thefingerfuckingfemalefury:hellyeahteensuperheroes:X-Men: Red #8I have a big mutant-themed review with X-Men Red #6-9, X-Men: Black Magneto, Mojo, and Emma Frost one-shots and What If Magik became Sorcerer Supreme, check it out- AdminI shall be interested to hear your thoughts on these! <3 The Magneto one shot confirmed what has been clear for a long time now in the X-men comics, that Magneto is the ACTUAL hero that mutantkind needs not Charles Xavier’s cowardly “Let’s be friends with the flatscans!” garbage The X-men need to stop pretending that the flatscans deserve anything other than a bullet between the eyes and need to start actively fighting AGAINST the humans to protect mutantkind in whatever way they can using any means that are required to protect mutantkind from humanities evil in the Marvel universe No more of this “Not All Humans” foolishness where they pretend that just because a tiny handful of humans haven’t tried to commit genocide against them with giant killer robots that somehow means humans can EVER be trusted…they need to follow Magneto’s example and protect mutantkind above all else My one issue with Magneto is that it feels that he no longer offers aid to the Jewish community. The only time his heritage comes up it’s in reference to the Holocaust, we never hear about him in relation to the living Jewish people, we don’t hear about him protecting synagogues in the modern day or using him powers to help the Jewish community, he only works to help mutants. Which I understand, I obsess over my autistic identity to the detriment of other facets of me, but I just would like his Jewishness to not just be tied to death but to rebuilding and family. Maybe he relates to his Judaism in comics I have not seen, but it feels like it’s only relevant to his origin and associated with death, not the living.Magneto Killing Nazis is a story concept that I will never of. Well…the answer is actually very simple. You need actual Jewish writers who know and care about their own heritage. Or at least writers who are knowledgeable on the subject. Too many writers these days forget first how much of their readership are competent adults and not children, and that we want more depth from our content…and forget the history of the characters they write. Like people forget that Xavier and Magneto met in Israel, when the former was helping concentration camp survivors. Continuity matters. We also really need more of Magneto/Kitty interactions. Like Kitty helping him reconnect with his Jewish identity, or him meeting the Kaplans and coming to Passover sader… -- source link
