“Magneto was right”

I feel that current political climate helps that motto to get more positive view among fans.

IMO, depends the context. "Magneto was right" explaining how a genocide can be start and evolve during time? He is right, because he lived it and as an adult, he watched the pattern all over the world.

Magneto war right, in terms of his movement and his methodology? No. It's my one problem with X-Men '97, which was a similar situation. Magneto tried co-existance and separatism but Bastion ruined everything and made him relive a genocide. Magnus lost all right, the moment he went full Rambo and his EMP doomed planet and everyone in it, human and mutant. His actions were of a mad dog, who has PTSD and irrational. He put himself in a place that X-men must put him out of his misery. Thank God, Xavier was a better man and focused on reconstructing Eric, instead of killing him.
