Is Magneto the best written villain of all time?
Remember that time Charles made magneto relive his time in a concentration camp
liberalism at its finest
the best fictional villain from anything ever is AM. I will hear no other opinion.
No
One of the best yes
Anakin Skywalker by far is the best villain, hands down.
Best written. No. Joker hands down. He's about the only one they get consistently right.
Nah
One of the best, absolutely.
Good villains always have great motivation
I would say you can empathize with a good villain. But same same.
Dr doom clears
While Magneto is often trapped in a cycle of fighting for his own species' survival, Doom operates on a scale of sheer, majestic dominance over reality itself. Magneto is the better-written complex human being. Doctor Doom is the better-written larger-than-life antagonist.
No
Thanks, good explanation.
I mean Satan paradise lost
Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n.
The copy pasta replies are so hilariously pathetic 😂. What a sped loser 🤖
Magneto is a villain because of his methods, not his motives. While his goal is to protect mutants from genocide, his solution is to preemptively subjugate or destroy humanity. Because he is willing to sacrifice millions of innocent lives and adopt the same philosophy of racial supremacy used by his own oppressors, he crosses the line from victim to terrorist.
I don’t think hes a villain he’s a reactionary but tbh I think hes one of the best characters of all time

He is a well written villain because you can empathize with him.
💯 but i think he’s still a reactionary because even with his history of being Jewish in WW2 I think he would have been jaded but if the humans had left the mutant “problem” alone then he would have just chilled not become the villain he’s a terrorist he’s a monster but he needed that push
I mean... you can say palpatine gave vader that push... or maybe the jedi council... I think you can make a case that any villain is reactionary for the most part.
I mean. He's not really the villain of the story. Society is.

That's a good summary/analysis
