Your minority opinion is noted, sam. It's generally considered a brilliant background motivation for Magneto being paranoid and hostile, he gives in to his fears and becomes a monster

This. He's a man who's not only seen the worse of mankind, but also been a victim of extreme bigotry.

He becomes the very monster he suffered from.

also what is good CBM writing about this is that is subverts the old fairy tale of becoming a good character by going through hell.

No, that is usually not what happens with the human psyche: most people going through bigotry, war or even an holocaust get psychologically damaged and scarred for life, be it by PTSD, trauma, addiction, psychosis or worse.
