this thread is about Magneto in the MCU. Can't let DC-Fan derail that like all the MCU haters like to do to these threads.
I didn't derail this thread. I simply answered the question in the original post. It was JudgeJuryDredd who derailed this thread by mentioning DC and trying to turn this thread into another MCU vs DC thread. You derailed it by being you. You always say something that would get a response, then take the thread into another direction. I mean, what in the MCU has shown that any character would be changed to being a transgender? Only DC has shown to change a character so. Dreamer isn't even transgender in the comics. Even though the one in Supergirl is suppose to be her ancestor (is she gonna become a lesbian?).
Also, I like how you said that he is trying to turn this thread into another MCU vs DC thread like you have never done it.

Magneto is pretty much an extremist BLM type of figure. You can have it that he's angry at what is openly happening to mutants and want to do something about it that's outside the system. Give him the backstory that his foreign family was persecuted when he was a child just coming to the United States and it stuck with him. Give that story to another character. I’d be reluctant to bastardise the Magneto backstory so easily myself. I’d prefer his original origin and otherwise account for his youthful appearance. Other mutants have longevity, why not Magneto? It’s less of a compromise than changing his entire backstory. But his actual story isn't as much about the war. Yeah, it's something that shaped his youth, but what turned him into Magneto was the death of his family. If the X-men movies had him be a good guy all through First Class and DoFP then have his turn in Apocalypse when the mob killed his family, that would be closer to the comics. Add in the death of his family by a mutant hating mob to cement him becoming Magneto.

I was curious. Not going to lie I have thought about this before but never really shared it. How would you all adapt Magneto into today's MCU? Try not to use any multiverse thing where he leaps from the Holocaust into today's world. That may be the best way to go but for the sake of this thread simply go by today's world and this is the only world and timeline that we're in. Would you be alright with casting Magneto as somebody who suffered through the Rwanda Genocide? You could then cast an actor in his 30's or so (yes he'd be black in this scenario) and he could play the role for a long run like Fassbender kind of did but without the stupid decade hopping without aging. Imagine that they were able to cast somebody like Mahershala Ali as Magneto. A fucking AMAZING actor. Would you be okay with that or does it have to be his original origins? I know that's a HUGE deal to his character but I'm just asking how to adapt it to today's world. I think you'd need to update his origins a bit and this one was the first to come to mind. I know it's kind of a heavy question but PLEASE try and be civil and just discuss the topic without insults. I just want to hear some alternatives people would suggest to adapting him into today's MCU for let's say a 2023 MCU X-Men movie. MCU always caters to the SJWs so they'll probably make Magneto a trans-gender who was persecuted. That’s why they didn’t have a black lead until the 18th movie or a female lead until the 21st movie. And the reason they don’t have a single main or supporting LGBTQ+ character in the films. Because of all that SJW pandering.

Can we get this thread back to discussing the title of it instead of discussing politics and arguing with one another?

And then there is this cringeworthy X-Women scene in ‘Dark Phoenix’, but since it’s not an MCU film, DC-Fan praised it as the best comic book film of 2019. Pretty much. Also ironic how DC-Fan loves the Supergirl show and claims he does not like Hillary Clinton or the democratic party when there are oh so many obvious references to Clinton losing the election and current democratic concerns presented in the show that are so obvious you'd wonder why bother trying to hide them in a fictional setting and characters. Supergirl rocks. Good heavens.

Supergirl rocks. Good heavens. The show is the weakest of the CW DC shows(And all of them are not in the best shape themselves so this is a lowest ranked to low here in measurement of quality) and its best season was its first which was on CBS. It's become boring, tedious, unimaginative, is clearly more interested in preaching propaganda than telling fun stories that all can enjoy.

Replying to them tends to just derail a discussion because then it becomes an argument that neither side seems to let go of.

Can't get into Black Lightning Legends is fun, though all over. Flash is good, but always puts the characters in places they don't need to go to. I love Supergirl. Very positive & affirming But I am a gal so... Maybe we're looking for different things in the show.

Actually if you pay closer attention to my post I liked Supergirl's first season, I have not liked the direction it has taken since. I'm looking for a fun superhero show that is accessible and not trying to shove down one sided political views down throats, which the first season of Supergirl did for the most part but has not since it moved over to The CW. Also, Arrow's first two seasons and its fifth rocked.
