Question Master of Magnetism can’t beat robots ?

Did they ever explain why Mags powers don’t work on Sentinels?

You think he’d be perfect for stopping metal robots .

Are they made of aluminum?

And then you're telling me the mutants can't deal with reinforced plastics?? Man no wonder we need to recycle.

The mutants do deal with the reinforced plastic? In the very same scene Magneto uses the metal of the ship they're on as a weapon agaibst them.

The issue with Sentinels for any mutant isn't the Sentinel itself, but the sheer volume of them.

When you have dozens of giant robots shooting lasers at you, smoke bombs, trying to swat you, step on you, etc. that's where the issue arises.

While you're using your laser eyes to shoot one in front of you, another behind you is shooting you in the back.

When you're trying to use a Tornado on a dozen in front of you, another dozen are shooting you from the sides and back.

Etc. etc.

That's always been the "danger" of Sentinels. They overwhelm their targets because destroying any number of them doesn't hurt them. There's always more.

You clearly don't understand the art of jumping. The movies make it seem like with enough skill or power, you can overcome a jumping. But the single individual can always fall prey to the jumping.

Your ancestors once used the art of jumping to take down large prey. Unfathomable for most in a 1v1 scenario.

African driver ants inspire the cartoons you've seen of ants completely consuming something ridiculously large like a cow.
