Loved this read as much as I love this new path Magneto is on. now how long he'll stay on it? lol... your guess is as good as mine. Hoping, no, KNOWING the health will continue to improve.

Thank you! And I’m def hoping the show subverts expectations and keeps him a “good guy”

XMen 97 is on my list! Loved the old one & the story of justice, sometimes “by any means necessary” never gets old. Magneto (the Malcolm to Charles’ Martin) miiiiight turn over a new leaf but, like real life, folks ready to fight for their beliefs only need one trigger! I definitely think redemption depends on the severity of the action and changes made by the one causing harm, & in the show… Magneto might get there.

Also sending fortitude for the chronic illness journey. I’m still dealing with undiagnosed and ignored ailments, but hopefully WE get answers. 🤞🏾 Prayerfully, get well soon!

I hope you get answers soon too! You’re right that sometimes it takes one trigger to revert someone to their old ways—hopefully if he is triggered he lashed out at their oppressors only

Awww, thank you for the shout out! Happy I could help in some way ❤️ and I haven't watch xmen 97 yet and I wasn't planning on it but now I really want to! He left everything the Magneto!?!? I mean it makes perfect sense to me why Xavier would think that, Magneto would do anything to protect the students if they were left in his care and Professor X always believed his old friend could change. But navigating the change after the fact is so interesting and now I gotta watch it! Thanks for mentioning it!

Yesss I’m def interested in seeing how he grows as a leader and how he navigates living with a group of people he’s attacked over and over again lol
