MagnetoWasRight (Almost) Every time I see another screenshot from the movies, series, or comics, I can’t help but start siding with Magneto. X-Men may not have started as a way to represent minorities fighting against discrimination, but it has become it through the years. From having storylines entirely dedicated to mirror the AIDS epidemic or apartheid in South Africa. I’m always baffled by those conservatives who don’t see that they’re the “friends of humanity”, but in real life.
