I tell myself even mickey mouse won't stoop to equating a holocaust survivor with the Nazis to make leftists evil but then I remember Wanda and 😬
even xmfc kinda did that like not directly but the way they handled the tail end of the erik vs shaw fight made some 2012 bitches feel brave enough to start talking on how erik has become whats he despises most aka an evil supremacist comparable to the actual fucking. nazi character. which. i understand the movie needed conflict between erik and charles! but i think it shouldve been handled in a better way than to subtly imply erik’s radical leftist beliefs are too close to what an actual fucking nazi also thinks for comfort! they stray away from that kinda. as the movies go on, and fortunately as time went on people also developed enough critical thinking to not go that route,
but wanda💀 wanda mcu. shes proof that the worst case scenario is possible for erik like they really had the gall to erase both her jewish and romani heritage and have her be a hydra member, and they are going to continue to just act like wanda in hydra was just a fun little quirk based on that stupid fucking “we were going to change the world” scene in wandavison.
but erik is not a hero character as much as we all see him as one he is unfortunately an antagonist so it’s going. to be worse. theres no way it cant be worse i don’t even know how to handle it i do not trust any mcu writer like even good ones will be chained by the mouse and therefore not allowed to give erik enough depth to seem like he’s anything besides (at best) a tragic villain
