How does a younger Magneto even work? We're now 80 years from the holocaust.

Stupid question I know, since they'll just retcon anything to make it work.

slow aging or frozen/hibernation
from a universe with a different timeline than mcu
with the drama around israel would not be surprised if they didn't change his origin story.

would be great to get a non-holocaust magneto. It was always the least interesting part about him and distracted from the much more interesting side of his philosophical disagreement with professor X.

Its the entire reason for his actions and identity. He wouldnt have a philosphical disagreement with X if he didnt go through that. Wouldnt even be the same character.

This is correct. Thanos didn't need the Holocaust to be Lawful Evil, neither does Magneto. His stance on what humans will do to mutants is reasonable, justifiable, and proven correct over and over in the comics.

magneto will be George Floyd but in universe-69 he doesn't die but kills all the cops and his main enemy is all white people, but he doesn't want to kill them he just wants to breed da white women. professor X is the bad guy and wants to make America White Again, they both fight over who gets to fuck Rogue who is a hispanic with a thicc ass

I've never liked alternate takes on characters. You want to run with a different idea? Then build a new character around the idea. Whether it's a no holocaust Magneto, or making Superman gay/trans, whatever... if these cunts had any creativity or talent they'd be able to make something new instead of destroying what is already great.

It reminds me of that Star Trek: The Next Generation episode where the race speaks based on their stories: Shaka, when the walls fell. It works when everyone understands the references, which their race does and the Enterprise crew does not. Changing the characters --motives, race, etc-- removes our ability to relate to those characters because now we have to start with, "Which version?" instead of, "Of course Captain America/Superman did that... he's a Boy Scout." It's annoying as fuck.

Careful what you wish for, or we get a latino Magneto who's childhood trauma was being separated from his family when he was locked in a cage at the border and then abused by Border Patrol and ICE agents until he was finally rescued by a tearful AOC.

How about a Cambodian Magneto who lost his family to the Khmer Rouge? It's a win win, Hollywood gets to race-swap a white character, we get to be thankful that at least he isn't black. Also maybe we get to see a scene of him brutally murdering communists like the Villa Gesell scene from First Class.

No, its the retconned explanation shoehorned onto him after the fact.

The central disagreement between him and Charles stands on its own regardless of this dumb add on.
