>>95771688Marvels did an excellent job in depicting 616 events chronologically and through the eyes of civilians.
Look at what happened in the 1930s: A brawl between Jim Hammond and Namor that caused untold damage across NYC. It also took the eye of the protagonist of Marvels.
Then, you have all that shit that happened in the 1960's with mutants popping up, the menace known as Spider-Man, the advent of the Fantastic Four and the Trial by Galactus, costumed supervillains like the Green Goblin murdering civilians...and that's just in that decade!
Eye of the Camera was a sequel that delved into the 1970's and 1980's stories of 616 and after reading all that, can you REALLY blame people for being batshit paranoid?
Magneto's attack on Cape Citadel and threatening to nuke the world was his first public appearance. Magneto is the main reason why humans don't trust mutants. And with the retcon that Namor is mutant too, the first major metahuman incident in recorded history was by a mutant too.
