it's honestly wild to me that people are so casual about swapping out the holocaust for any other genocide. minorities are not interchangeable. trauma is not interchangeable. make a new character if you don't want him to be Jewish. making him Palestinian would be a dishonor to Palestinian suffering as much as to Jewish suffering, saying that they are basically just hot-swappable events in history.

having mutants age slower could actually add a reason why they're hated and feared

“Just make him Palestinian” let’s not pretend genocides are interchangeable, please. It only diminishes them both.

It’s because comparing genocides to each other is disgusting

Take away his ties to the holocaust is taking the death away of uncle Ben for spidey. Batman’s parents death Superman’s planet like the whole reason why character is the way they are. The holocaust was the first brick on his path to become magneto

It's such a fundamental part of his origin.
He faced human oppression before even manifesting as a mutant.

All they need to do is make his powers age him slower so they can keep his connection to holocaust

World War II, and subsequently the Cold War, informed the creation of the X-Men. Him being a Holocaust survivor informs his character to such a degree that even his main phrase, “Never Again,” is tied to the Holocaust itself. Changing his origin would fundamentally change the character and the context that surrounds him.

It’s not just thematic reason. He’s Jewish Shoah survivor rep. Why should we have that taken away? If ppl are pushing for magneto not to be Jewish holocaust survivor it’s just antisemitism. Esp we have mutants like wolverine & mystique older than magneto.

this is why I was so pissed off with the Doom casting, why is RDJ coming back? Why can't Victor von Doom get a new casting and not a "What If Tony was Evil?" separate the actor from the art all you want but the MCU wants continuity. What If has no place in that.

Why are people so comfortable suggesting they change the genocide? You know, they are not interchangeable. Yes, cruelty is cruelty, but there is something insidious in suggesting oppression and suffering is interchangeable

removing his jewish identity and holocaust experience isn't only gonna change his character entirely, but it's also a spit in the face to the entire jewish community

I think they fundamentally of the character is that he experienced human cruelty based on something as futile as religion and his fear steams from if they could fear religion imagine what they'd do to people who pose an actual threat to them, and they've been multiple human cruel acts done on large populations based on things as futile as religion such as race , ethnicity or gender. I think him being a savivour of any of these acts in the modern day is not a big deal

If the struggle is that we’re too far away from the Holocaust for his character to be a survivor and still live in present day, then why not centre the next movie in the 90’s? Why does it HAVE to be present day? They’re in an alternate universe, make the same choice as they did with the Fantastic Four movie which is set in a pseudo-futuristic 1950’s.

He has to be a genocide survivor. But because most genocides happen to POC the white audience the studios capitulate to won’t be able to empathize with or humanize the character.

Magneto’s background cannot be changed. It is historically important and changing it would do a disservice to the large majority of the people who built the comic book world in America. It is insane to think that his history would be changed. At his core he was a young Jewish boy who was tortured by the same people who tortured little people and twins trying to figure out biodiversity and how to control it. It’s a core part of who he is.
