Hahaha I say this with love, but go fuck your self and your “nothing fancy” $140 bottle of scotch. I consider Jameson top tier right now. Which, I mean, it’s not terrible. But still. I’m just jealous and poor, that’s all. Enjoy your scotch my friend!
Serbians have really ruined a lot of things throughout history, the Kingdom of Serbia even screwed over a Byzantine prince while "helping" him gain the Throne in the 1342–1343 Byzantine civil war.
"Dušan housed and allied with the fugitive prince/general John Kantakouzenos to help him usurp the throne. Dušan used the alliance to conquer vast Byzantine territories for himself."
The Catch: In exchange for Serbian military backing, Kantakouzenos had to agree that any Byzantine towns captured by Dušan's forces would permanently become part of the Serbian Kingdom.
imagine it was just some undermotivated street urchin that got magneto's super busted power, and all he could figure out to do with it was to strip copper wiring and plumbing from places
Honestly, to produce electricity we're using the awesome power of radioactivity to boil water, so I don't see a copper-stealing cigan Magneto as far-fetched.
Won't happen. Make a black magneto talking about the mutants being persecuted and how awful humans are and you'll be accused of making him a strawman parody of notable black civil rights leaders.
Stan Lee himself said that was not true. In the original comics magneto wasn’t even Jewish, he was just a basic bad guy trying to take over the earth. There was no mutant discrimination in the original comics, that came later once Chris Claremont took over.
There were quite a few prominent Jewish actvists that got lynched during the Civil Rights movement, might be a decent origin but then again, I doubt with the current Administration, that Disney is gonna touch anything like that.
I know, I really want to see that though. I think it would be an interesting angle particularly if you tie in storm and black panther and their inaction. It gives him a strong reason to oppose humanity as a whole.
I wish this happened, but I know that if these movies land well then marvel will try to make them African in the comics as well. They did it with Nick Fury and I have no clue how they would do it with Magneto and Charles.
Nick Fury was black in the Ultimate seires before the first MCU movies came out. In fact Mark Millar based him off of Samuel L Jackson in the first place. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, in which case, my bad.
This is true. But the 616 Fury was white. The issue I'm pointing out is the difficulty in believably retconning it. There was a whole multi-comic arc involved in replacing Nick Fury with his black son, also named Nick Fury, and it felt very contrived at the time. It would really stretch the imagination to figure out how to believably replace two very important and historic characters with African versions of themselves. Did Charles and Magneto also both happen to have African children that were given the same names as them? That's all I'm getting at.
I mean replacing 616 Nick for a black Nick for no real reason besides cashing in on the movies is hilariously stupid. Ya, the comics would just have to have the story take place in another timeline or it would be horrible and borderline racist to reasonablychange them in the mainline continuity lol.
Truly a dark horse idea and would likely give all the executives vertigo if it was openly executed.
But given that Marvel movies advocate giving Spiderman total flock camera control, (Hur dur it doesn’t violate constitutional rights if it’s a private entity public law enforcement is merely outsourcing work to~~) It’ll be a nice beach day in Hadestown if Marvel tried this origin idea.
Like im all for it and it would be fitting. Its just ironic that Isreal government would be the baddies. And I know that wouldn't fly with corporate America.
And damn theres a lot of comments removed by mods here...
honestly i think it's too early for that. In the future, once it's a situation that everyone was against, yes, but making it ongoing kinda doesn't make sense cause you're like, 'Magneto, why don't you go and stop the currently ongoing problem?'
Honestly, him having ties to the Yugoslav wars could be really interesting, but idk if there's any Marvel/Disney writer competent enough to tackle that besides maybe Tony Gilroy
