>>83311669I'm a huge Morrison fag, but no, I think this is one of the few things he's wrong about.
What makes Magneto interesting is that he does want peace and safety for his people, he just doesn't think it's possible to achieve. This comes from his personal experiences as a Jew who has seen what societies do to those who are different. To me the best depictions of Magneto explore this.
If you take that away he's just a generic maniac, which is boring as a character.
It's the same with Millar and Dr. Doom. Millar said something about not buying Doom as the noble villain he's been depicted as, and so in his run Doom became a truly despicable person.
But again, that just turns Doom into a generic dictator bad guy. It ruins the character. He's much more interesting as a grand villain with his own sense of honor and nobility.
