Magneto had a really great character arc in the 80s which just got completely chucked in the bin because the new editor taking over the title thought that he should always be a one-note maniacal villain, and I'm disappointed to see X-Men '97 doing the same because the ex-showrunner wanted to recreate his favourite issue.

#x-men #x-men 97 #x spoilers #never liked fatal attractions #it isn't a good story #and it terrible for magneto #reducing him to what he was back in the 60s #it is only really remembered for that one moment #which i never really cared for either #and i just feel like the character work has really suffered to cram this entire storyline in #it's like rather than take their time to develop these stories natural #or even try to improve on the flaws of the original work #they're just trying to cram in as many famous moments from the comics #just in case they don't get pick up for another season #there's a severe case of cancellation anxiety about the show #story arcs they could've at leave been two parters are being done in one (like inferno)#and now they'd trying to do three different big arcs all in one #which e is for extinction and ozt were fine together #but pushing in fatal attraction as well just feels like too much #and frankly it is putting me off the show #i'm not here to just see a speed run of x-men greatest hits #i want to see these stories adapted with care and consideration
