r/XmenEvolution

Me and other people on this sub has pointed out that a lot of Magneto’s actions in Evo especially in the first seasons sound a lot more like something Mr sinister would do:

Arranging fights and recruiting the winner against their villain.

Experimenting on mutants babies.

Tricking mutants into being genetically altered in a way that enhances them but also makes them obedient.

Thoughts?

The first time they encounter Wanda in the mall, she kicks everyone's butt.

In the end, Professor Xavier says he failed them, because he should have taught them how to fight someone like Wanda.

But could they possibly do so? Her powers are disproportionaly greater. She has her own powers and also can control everyone's powers at will with no difficulty.

Even if they are smart and very coordinated, she can easily overpower them all. She can only be beaten by telepathy, by Rogue sneaking close to her and touching her, or maybe by this Dorian boy who can turn off anyone's power.

(Evolution is all I know of X-Men, except a couple movies)

Just binged Evolution again, and I was wondering if anyone knows of decent or good fanfics that continue the story past its Season 4 finale? Would love to read them.

Was there ever any plans to ever address Wanda’s brainwashing in a hypothetical season 5 or was it that they didn’t know how to resolve the whole “Magneto abandoned his daughter in an asylum” plot they created so they had her mind be altered as a way to brush it under the rug so to speak?

Looking on the season 1 I think it’s one of the weaker finals and honestly I actually don’t like it that much at all:

For one Magneto’s plan is stupid and counterintuitive to what the character is usually suppose to be about. Arranging fights between mutants and than recruit the winner regardless of they want to or not and ditch the loser even if they are loyal to you or not is stupid and sound more like an Apocalypse plan than Magneto.

What was the point of this? At best he would have as many mutants as he originally had and at worst he will have lost all the mutants loyal to him.

For instance by doing this he lost Mystique a woman who had worked for him since Nightcrawler was baby, I.e about 16 years by that point. Why would he would want to lose her because she lost to Storm in a fight that wasn’t even necessary in the first place, especially since her mutant powers are excellent for espionage?

Also I found it weird that he never does this in future seasons. He just seems to recruit anyone he can and sometimes even tries to forcibly recruit people like Angel without them have to prove themselves in a silly pointless fight. Maybe the writers realized this was silly and didn’t have him do it again

I also hated how Cyclops trusted Magneto and that Magneto still tricked him after that. was Magneto trying to alienate himself to the X-Men?

I also hated how Nightcrawler and Mystique are reunited and they both don’t attempt to carry out the conversation that were denied in Shadowed Past.

I also hated the design of the “evolved” versions of the mutants we did see.

Any idea for how this season finale could be rewritten?

Digo, antes de la revelacion en Evolution, Kurt fue probablemente el X-Men con quien mejor se llevaba junto con Scott y Logan, no tenia discusiones como con Spyke y Kitty no tenia celos como hacia Jean, deberia estar feliz de tener un hermano que la entiende (ambos viven apartados de la sociedad debido a sus poderes que los hacen poco sociables)
