Brónach 1,302 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 He is doing it for a greater cause. The preservation of his species.In his mind it's war.When Magneto in that film manipulates Prof X to kill all humans I'm horrified at how could someone be okay with that. Any kind of sympathy or understanding for Magneto gets shattered into tiny pieces.I find it easier to sympatize with Walter White's situation. He tries to survive, somehow, in an unfair society. (I've only seen the beginning of the show though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Look I'm not saying I agree with Magneto. But the film makers did a good job in making him MORE then just a villain who kills because of financial gain, revenge etc etc....It makes for a more interesting character.

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 But he wasn't born a drug dealer. Circumstance drove him to it. Magneto was born a mutant, but not a murderer. Human society drove him to become one, though he seldom takes up arms against his fellow mutants unless it serves his greater good. His goal is a world where mutants are the masters of all, not the persecuted. In this sense, he is a tragic antihero. I doubt Wally White wants a world full of drug dealers.

KK 3,307 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Well yes, but I don't think he's as cold-hearted as you described him to be.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 totally disagree, he crossed one line that ended any chance he has for redemption.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 It's not bad, it's not good.Glad they aren't using whoever composed the last X-Men film. That score was awful.I do have hopes for this film. X-Men First Class suffered from the usual Prequel syndrome. Characters going through stuff while the audience already kinda knew what would happen. A time travel story wil, hopefully change that.No idea how they are gonna pull off Fassbender and McKellen as Magneto in the same film. The two are nothing alike.

Trent B 337 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It's not bad, it's not good.Glad they aren't using whoever composed the last X-Men film. That score was awful.Henry Jackman scored X-Men: First Class, overall I agree that the score is forgettable. There are PIECES here and there that I like but it's definitely the weakest of the X-Men scores. I had a feeling that Ottman was gonna be brought on for the project. Ottman is generally Singer's choice for composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Parts were OK. his "heroic" theme sounded like Kamen and Ottman's themes stitched together. His guitar chords for Magneto were very obvious an annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 If memory serves I think there was a video interview or some sort of an interview with Jackman regarding Magneto's theme. He had more for that theme than what we hear in the show but the producer wanted just what we actually ended up hearing.Edit: Got ninja'd by Chaac.
