i'll let you guys figure this one out

Hippie Stan's original plan was to have Charles be legitimately evil, and Magneto as a misunderstood freedom fight. Because at that point in time, School/Establishement = Baaaad & Rioters = Gooood. Obviously that didn't catch on, and Magneto just became the antagonist.

As for why? He's a legitimate speciesist, he always fucks people over and is a hypocrite. You can find "good" traits in him, and he did grow as a character, but he always ends up reverting to his villainous ways. He's a tad better than Doom, but he's an elitist, so...

People that only care about their own kind are assholes.

>Why is Magneto considered a bad guy?

Because he basically wants to kill off "normal" humans and leave the world to mutantkind. Genocide tends to make someone look pretty goddamned evil, no matter the cause.

>protect his own people
>through murder, terrorism, occasional betraying his own species for a supposed greater good, and just a pinch of asshole for good measure

Before getting de-aged, and Moira tampering with his mind, he was an unabashed global terrorist.
Did he have good intentions for the members of mutantkind who agreed with him? Sure. But those who disagreed were no better (and in fact worse) than baseline humans. By pre-UXM 150 intent, he was a shitty person. Claremont humanized him, and showed him as a shitty person with a good heart and a sense of honor, but then revealed that those traits may have not been inherent with the mind alteration reveal in adjectiveless X-Men 1-3.
He's stated time and again that acts of aggression toward him by other mutants is just as much an act of war as by humans.
At best, he uses people toward his ends (Bunn Magneto), or just tries to live in hermitage ('91-'95 Magneto). On that note, Magneto did not always condone the actions of the Acolytes.

TL;DR - Morrison had a very valid point, even if you like the more morally grey and quasi-heroic Mags angle.

By killing/subduing everyone else.

Because he cries about how he was treated for being a Jew in his youth only work towards a world where all humans would be treated that way.

He is not about segregation and protection. He is about dominance.

Magneto would subjugate or kill all Jews, Christians or Muslims who aren't mutants. Buddhists and Hindi would be fucked too I think, I dint think being an atheist would help if you don't have a tail or something.

Imagine if the Jews were able to get revenge for the holocaust and everything else. They'd need their version of Hitler

>>94220655
Imagine if the holocaust actually happened.

>>94219371
Nah, he's proven himself to be literally hitler time and time again.

>>94220655
wew lad

>>94219371
The whole joke of the character is that magnetism is his secondary mutation and his main power is horrible double standards
He keeps saying muh oppressed minorities but is such a nazi about it even Red Skull makes fun of him for it

>>94220919
So, he's pretty much a SJW? :^)

>>94220655
>Imagine if the Jews were able to get revenge for the holocaust and everything else.
You mean like how Mossad hunted down and kidnapped Nazi officers to put them on trial throughout the Cold War?

>>94219371
Only wanting to protect your own people is what fascists do. Fascists are always the bad guys.

>>94219371
Because Mutants are just normal humans and not really the next line of evolution, Thanks Ultimatum!

>>94222287
wat????

>>94219371
Probably the attempted genocides.

He lacks the awareness to realize hes becoming that which he hated.

>i haven't read a single x-men comic

>>94219371
>Mutants
>People

Murdering anyone that wasn't born the same race as you is generally frowned upon in society.

He was betrayed by the coward Charles Francis Xavier

>>94219371
Because he's a dirty Mutie.

>>94219371
Because he's a jew.

>>94219371
>He just wants to protect his own people.
At the expense of everyone else. That makes him the bad guy.

>>94219387
