'Remember it' should not be retconned
I'm serious, the lack of stakes is what's killing superhero media. People don't have 'superhero fatigue' they have 'status quo fatigue'. Characters are resurrected at the drop of a hat and it does not make for good storytelling. Spoilers ahead for episode 5 of X-men '97.
'Remember it' genuinely affected me on an emotional level precisely because it didn't shy away from how senseless, traumatic and terrible genocide is. Reversing it would recontextualize genocide as something less urgent, less tragic. In the real world where genocide happens, this is irresponsible and callous, particularly given the roll our own governments play in it.
In a good story, characters are changed by what happens to them. In long form series like Marvel Comics, this rarely sticks because people become attached to characters and view their status quo as comforting and profitable. Over time, this leads to convoluted stories without meaningful tension. We know everything will be alright
Adaptations have a unique opportunity to actually make meaningful character growth happen and say something with it. If a character dies, they can still exist in other continuities.
Something like this is probably the best ending for a character like Magneto. In his last moments, as tragic as they are, he does what only he can, to stave off a genocide he has been fighting tooth and nail since childhood.
In the end, even Erik Magnus Lensherr, the Master of Magnetism, is just a man in the face of extinction. And when he speaks his final words, I can't help but realize that they were spoken millions of times in similar circumstances, to this day. What can anyone say in the face of death on such a massive scale? Not 'never again', sadly. It never stopped. Untold millions have told children 'Don't be afraid' in the moments before they died.
This sickens me. We all wish that brute force could solve this problem, that there's a magic wand to turn back time. And this is what superhero stories have always boiled down to: wish fulfillment.
I'm not mad at anyone for whom this was too traumatic, who would turn the clock back to a time where Gambit, the Morlocks, Magneto and the other casualties are alive. This would obviously be a better world to believe in.
I just think it is not good storytelling. We can't view real world genocide through that lens. Honestly, I don't know how the show will progress, or even who the villain is.
It could be Trask, Guyrich, Mastermold, Nimrod, Bastion, Cassandra Nova, Onslaught or Apocalypse, to name just a couple of options. The show could end with Bishop destroying the Kaiju-sentinel before E-day.
All I know is, we need reminders that there are real stakes in real life, and that tragedy just happens. When Remy says 'Remember it', he's not just talking about his name. He's talking about this massacre, about the martyrs.
Remember the dead. Fight like hell for the living.

Yoooooo!!!
I just watched X-Men '97, episode 5 "Remember It".
I don't swear lightly, but:
Holy F%ck!
I can't even talk about it yet.
Some of the best, most powerful television I've seen in a long time.
Some of the best beats from 30 years of comics distilled down into 40 minutes.
They're pulling out all the stops, ...and the season is not even half over!

#800 - Funeral - Arcade Fire
Tumblr media
Despite having been one of my biggest musical betrayals, starting with their fifth album and culminating in the revelation of Win Butler being a giant creep...this still holds up. One of the defining indie rock albums, a work that, had Butler's vocals been more confident, would have gotten a perfect score. As it stands, Pitchfork had it right.
97/100
