Magneto is awesome! In the original trilogy, he was depicted as a badass master strategist/leader with ideals about mankind's view on mutantkind that were completely understandable. In the X-Men: First Class/Days of Future Past films, he's the most complex character in the entire franchise with completely logical and justifiable reasons for doing what he's doing: He isn't pure evil, he's simply....an idealist gone too far. In both situations, Magneto wants mutantkind to rise in status, but whilst Professor X wants humans to accept them, Magneto wants humans to bow to them. He is such an interesting character, I don't know why people seem to misjudge him, especially in these movies
