Magneto was Right, X-Men: The Last Stand
See, when I say that the X-Men should be a period piece, and that the early 2000s are the absolute last moment they can be set at, but they really should have stuck with an earlier decade? This is what I'm talking about. Magneto being a child during the Holocaust is something that is really ingrained in our current view of the character, exactly because of these movies, but if they had kept his age as 60+ years in the 1960s, or even the 1980s, then he would have been an adult for all of it. Old enough to see the political landscape before the worst came to pass, old enough to remember the early days and recognize the warning signs from his own lived experience.
Anyway, as the original post said, MAGNETO WAS RIGHT.
