So, anyone else wind up getting really annoyed with the mutants who were anti-violence, anti-killing the baddies who would have gladly killed them, or imprisoned them, or turned them into "hounds," etc.? The anti-violence faction wound up seeming unusually dumb to me, while the faction going over to the Frost Sisters' side seemed sensible. It also seemed really inconsistent with their X-Men precedents to be so anti-violence, especially in the face of a war against them.
Annoyance with the anti-violence faction is probably not what the writers were shooting for, although I don't know for sure.

A war between mutants and humans would only make things worse and won't end well.

A war between mutants and humans would only make things worse and won't end well. How could it possibly be worse? The Sentinel side is ready to go to war with the mutants, commit genocide, etc. What would be worse than that? It's like saying that the Jews shouldn't have resisted the Nazis with violence, because it would have only made things worse. What would have been worse than the Holocaust? "Look they just want to kill us and/or round us up and control our minds so they make us exterminate mutants overall. That's not that bad. Don't rock the boat by reacting with violence." <---- That seems kind of dumb to me.

The Sentinel Service guys seem pretty restrained to me. There was a lot "show me your hands" stuff. When you're trying to arrest a mutant that can move stuff with his mind, that is pretty dumb.
The only time Sentinel Services actually shoots at a mutant is when it is a bullet proof mutant or one that can stop bullets in mid air. The crazy Trask guy was the only one that was really looking for a war and trying to kill mutants. The rest were just trying to arrest "criminal" mutants.
Why don't the mutants just use their powers to stop crimes and save people that are in danger? That might help their public image.

The Sentinel side is ready to go to war with the mutants, commit genocide, etc. What would be worse than that? The end goal is a peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans. Starting a war would put an end to any chance of that happening. It would also give the anti-Mutant supporters a stronger argument for imprisoning or eliminating mutants.

The humans in the series have already started one, and they're ramping it up. The mutants are already being imprisoned and eliminated. If they'd wanted to go for the angle you're talking about, they would have had to change the story so that Trask/Sentinel weren't going to the extremes they've been going to.

There is a war on, but how the mutants act makes all the difference. If they start killing people and committing acts of violence things are going to get worse quick. All humans would fear mutants, the military might be brought in, and anti-mutant technology would become more advanced and more prevalent. Also, if there are people in power who support mutant rights, those people might turn against them if they go full on terrorist.
