coveredinsnow- replied to your post:Know the song "Fixerupper" from Frozen? Whenever I hear it, I always imagine Raven, Emma, Azazel, etc. singing it to Charles about Erik.
You know what it is? Fandom is so nice. SO NICE to Erik....in the same sense that they were very forgiving of Loki. Loki is an all around douche and a murderer but was never really a victim. Erik WAS a victim but his WHOLE FUCKING STORY is that in his process of fighting the type of people who killed his family and his people HE BECAME that person.
And he murdered quite a few people. But because he had a little sob fest in front of Charles everyone somehow thinks that their love is a perfect little romance of beauty and for some reason he's still...an ok dude.
Magneto has his moments in the comics where he tries to right himself and be a good person but he ultimately fails because he feels he HAS to kill to protect his people which is the complete goddamn opposite of what Charles wanted (which is why together they are so good for their people because you need strength and you need compassion at the SAME TIME btu they're both buttholes so whatever). BUT FRANKLY. IN THE MOVIES. HE IS CONSISTENTLY A BUTTHOLE. EVERY CHANCE OF REDEMPTION HE HAS RUINED.
HE'S NOT A FIXER-UPER HE'S A PIECE OF TRASH AND THAT SONG IS STUPID AS HELL. FIXER-UPPER IS A SHIT TERM.
Just. Lovingly embrace Magneto as an awful person who does not deserve Charles. Just....let that happen. Let him be a horrible person who's 80% villain and 20% good intentions
