If....

yeah the x-men are a group of idiots who would like to become friends with the ones who would like to extinguish them they would have the power to fight back but some idiot in a wheel chair told them to not

TBH I wouldn't want to be with the X-Men if X is running it..his reasoning irks me. On the flip side I don't appreciate being forced into an Asteroid and sent up into space....to spend the rest of my lifetime...with a bunch of ruthless individuals...

If i were a mutant I would probably not go to either side

Magneto - obviously racist. Supremest, basically, if you dont see eye to eye with him, you are an enemy. sure, as long as the humans are enemy no 1, he can tolorate all the mutants, so long as they agree with him. Sorry, but I would NEVER willingly serve a tyrant, no matter how "cool" their power.

Xavier - Self segregationist paramilitary unit. Lead by, in all cases, someone capable of knowing/altering your thoughts. So, basically, no cognitive freedom and the possibility of being "enlisted" into the team to go and combat people I have probably never met. Not to mention that I'd say the institute's general philosophy is hypocritical: co-existance by seperating and triumphing the mutant cause.

If I had to choose sides, it would be with the X-men, hands down. Even though I wouldn't join them, they are much more in line with a progressive and civil ideology, and not interested in world conquest.

X-Men.

Mags makes some good points, but in the end he's just a terrorist.

One of these threads already... 😛

but yeah, the x-men... i'd probably join too...

Bugger either of them. i'd be with myself.

Neither Magneto's nor Xavier's ethos appeals to me. Xavier is too apologetic and submissive. Magneto is too belligerent. Both are clinging to the obsolete. Emma Frost's third way of realism and pragmatism is better.

Depends on where Scarlet Witch is... droolio

Magneto, he wants whats best for his people and would do anyting to achieve that.

Exactly. Mags is too much of a tyrant and I could never side with someone who spouts superiority and treats others (the humans) as his inferiors. And with Mags I'd feel more of slave than a teammate. Xavier on the other hand seems to be living in a dreamworld at times. I'm all for optimism, but not when other mutants are being blown away across the Earth. How can you turn the other cheek and proceed to help without much of a thought those who'll burn you on a stake in a minute. So I'd choose the X-Men, but it'd be under Emma. She also dreams of peaceful co-existence but she takes a realist approach to it. Some may say she's a cynic, but through what she's seen and been through can you blame her. Add Scott with her just to make sure you have a little boy scout influencing her decisions and I'm at the institute baby

Magneto-Brave, he's truly fighting for something, cooler power than X, X is just trying to reason although x-men after x-men are been killed and injured he just sits there(pun intended) and does nothing.

They don't do nothing, they save worlds. They're superheroes, think of all the lives they've saved.

Yes but loose lots of mutants in the process.

That's not Xavier's fault though. He is a visionary it is his job to dream. You can't blame Xavier for his ideas of peaceful coexistence, only a fool would do that. The only thing xavier can be blamed for is his Methods.

Whereas Magneto is a hypocrite.

magneto isnt some cold blooded killer but he will take a mother f ****er down b4 he moves on him, but no matter what Xavier would rather sacrifice the lives of all his students b4 he retaliates in kind, rem. he's the one who patented the motto of heroes shouldnt kill

Magneto I can't make money as a good guy.

Tell that to all the Human Children he feels should die so Mutants can "inherit" the Earth 🙄
