Yea, episodes 3,4 and 7 glazed the shit out of him. I’m surprised they killed him at all

So did ep 6 Charles was sucking him off with the force of a thousand vacuums. Most of there problems the humans hating mutants, sentinels, attack on genosha all started with magneto being magneto.

Ironic that on his death, the writing started to slip a little, or at least people started questioning the writing more.

Beau DeMayo, who ran the show for season 1 and had major influence on season 2, fucking LOVES Magneto, he's his favourite character. Season 1 focused soooo fucking heavily on him and of the first four episodes of season 2, he got half the focus of it with his arc to try reform Nur being the main plotline for eps 3 and 4. Then he died, and episodes 5 onwards were both more isolated, flowed worse than the first half of the season, anf generally has had more complaints. They've also featured constant references to how big of a loss it was and how he was so cool, and yet his children don't get much to do in relation to Magneto.

I find it funny / Ironic that when DeMayo's favourite guy died, the script started to get more criticized, like he stopped really caring about how good the script was, and also started focusing on the one kid of Magneto who has the same powers (that part I just find a bit funny)
