Damn, Sue really was a master of psychological manipulation.

Praise Marvel Rivals for bringing her back.

It does make me wonder why the X men don't stock wooden quarterstaves in case Magento attacks.

Magento's attacking! Grab the sticks!

I personally liked how they showed the things that matter to Magneto in xmen97, and he sees vividly the woman he groomed when she was a teen but his kids are a shadow in the background.

Never change, Erik.
 
This over the leftoid cringe is entertaining.

If you think that is bad.

In the latest Scarlet Witch runs, he tells Pietro that he is better off dead without remorse with a straight face.

I miss villains being able to properly vill, as much as I liked the first Captain America I really wish Red Skull had been a proper monster. That man tried to toss his infant daughter off a cliffside the moment she was born.

We can't write villains anymore that are purely evil for evil's sake; they all have to have shades of gray and some tragic backstory so the audience can sympathize with why they murder thousands of people.

He basically controls metals affected by magnetism.

If I remember correctly he can also fuck with the Earth's natural magnetism, if he wanted to he could even reverse the polarity of the north and south pole and completely wreck humanity. He used his powers to cover the entire earth in an EMP at least once. In the comics he's easily one of the most deadly villains as his powers are more on a level that can be a universal threat.

The normie perception of him is that he just bends metal.

There is still the Maker from the current Ultimates line.

And his list of atrocities keeps growing with every new issue as how much he changed the world for the worse.

Even if he didn't have powers that strong, he's still a pos and at least the Fox movies showed his true colors:

First movie, he was fine with sacrificing an innocent mutant girl to hurt humans. In the second one, he didn't help the x-men: he used the x-men to infiltrate Striker's base and use his machine to kill all humans.

In x-men 97, he EMP'd the whole planet and likely killed millions and I'm sure there won't be consequences for him because "humans bad".

Just because he doesn't want mutants to be persecuted it doesn't mean he's a good guy.
 
I didn't know that Slimer and some elephant dude were part of the X-men. Also why does Kamala Harris have yaoi hands? The more I look at this shitty panel the more hilarious it becomes.
They split up the X men into like 4 different teams.
  • Uncanny X-men
  • Exceptional X-men
  • X-men
  • NYX
Kamala's superpower is kind of being a Mister Fantastic ripoff.

She has no energy powers like the original Ms Marvel.

I don't even want to know why the grinch dude's right arm is so much more muscular than his left.

X-Men comics are so dominated by leftists that they eventually loop around to parody.
 
From what I've seen, not that I would actually pay to watch Thunderbolts, the movie's main problem is that it makes girlboss assassin nu-Black Widow its central character (she learns nothing and her arc is becoming even more of a girlboss). Then it has a cop-out big hug ending and the antagonist becomes their friend. It's more like a couple of episodes of a of the Disney+ streaming MCU show edited together to feature length.. A Marvel movie with no real payoff, nothing new there.

One of the big problems with the MCU is that Marvel still insists on tying all its films and TV shows together narratively. This may have worked somewhat when it had a major tentpole release like the Avengers series that was capable of filling seats; but makes no sense when no one is watching 'bland superhero TV show #87534 that only the dedicated fanatics watch' on some streaming service. Ironically, the people at Marvel are probably aware of this, which is why they had Red Guardian and Dollar Tree bargain brand Black Widow go through the exact same relationship arc they did in the Black Widow prequel pic (which no one really watched). This also allowed them to get away with making other characters completely unrecognizable to anyone who actually watched some of these earlier products (like turning John Walker into 'typical bumbling male who makes the girlboss look girlbossier'). Making it all part of one big narrative where the studio hopes people will tune in to their increasingly pathetic streaming service shows (that look barely one step above the cheapest 1990s action-adventure shows produced directly for first-run syndication) is a problem as the kids they hope to capture as fans and viewers and theatergoers these days don't want to start in the middle, and catching up from the beginning is basically like having to do school work.

Its too much like the sort of increasingly convoluted continuities and crossover stunt events requiring readers to do homework to follow, in American superhero comics that have helped turn US comics into a cottage industry. Well, it has been funny watching the billion dollar studio pros in Hollywood repeating mistakes that sank the publishing side of cape media.
 
This movie will suck balls and Disney will buy reviews harder than they've ever bought reviews before.
I can't wait for a whole month of commercials calling it "the number one movie in the world" after they've strong-armed movie theaters into not showing any other movies.
