Get ready for Josie and me to take on Planet X. I'm pretty proud of our discussion there.

I've honestly learned a lot about Magneto in doing this podcast, and my views on him are currently very different than they were when I got into X-Men fandom. I think the two sides of Magneto are incredibly hard to rectify, and I think maybe Xorn is more important for doing so than I wish he were.

I honestly don't even try, but then, I don't worry about making this one long seamless narrative I see Planet X as the death of the Silver Age Magneto, clearing the way for the return of the guy everyone likes

RIGHT, you approach this similarly to me. I talk a lot on the show about viewing the Morrison run as its own thing, and I don't worry a ton about how it connects to earlier runs. I think it's impossible to view something as disconnected as Big Two Comic Runs as being consistent in a meaningful way.

And that is the only way to approach Morrison's run specifically, as they clearly don't give a dang about any X-Men comic released after the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga 😄

They're openly opposed to it!!!

I would say McKellan and Fassbender's Magnetos demonstrate the difference, but I'm honestly not sure that Fassbender's Magneto has a consistent political position from film to film
