Magneto is JEWISH. He is a Jewish character. The original version of the story the new X-Men 97 season is trying to tell relied on him being snapped out his plan by a young Jewish girl being hurt (I actually posted about how much I love this story beat last year). A young Jewish girl he later attends a meeting of Holocaust survivors with. Telling this story without using the word “Holocaust” or “Jewish” is so very telling. And it’s not a one off with this show— Roberto is an Afro-Brazilian character who manifested his powers because of a hate crime and they changed his origin completely.
Disney will ALWAYS shy away from these issues. They will ALWAYS want the kudos from having minority characters while sanitizing their stories. Really think about what it means for them to do this to characters like Sunspot and Magneto, but stand their ground when it comes to keeping the Israeli propaganda character in upcoming Cap movie.

I'm sorry, but the X-Men brand coffee mugs kinda kill the seriousness of this scene.

fucked up ways I want Magneto resurrected:
as a quantum electromagnetic ghost (because its metal)(Magneto's consciousness could be stored as magnetic quantum data, entangled with subatomic particles. When activated, these particles could reform his physical body, essentially resurrecting him from the quantum realm.)
reborn in the heart of a star/supernova (personal favourite. Its poetic)
alternate dimension Magneto - he might be a Chimera
Magneto gets resurrected as a Chimera mutant
Nimrod does a thing - I will not elaborate
Sinister does a thing - that is not Chimera
Electromagnetic Resonance Chamber (Magneto could be resurrected within a specially designed chamber that resonates with his magnetic energy. This resonance could reassemble his body from scattered magnetic particles, akin to reversing a magnetic disintegration.)
that one girl on Genosha in Magneto 2014 is brought back. Her power is to bring nightmares to life. Magneto killed her. She resurrects Magneto.
some fucked up Arrako mutant power
More common methods:
time travel
alternate dimension but like without cool stuff
cybernetic rebirth - cool but dear god
Eternals have to pay reparations
reality altering or dimensional rift or who knows
something explodes (like Genosha again) and he pops up again - probably because of the Scarlet Witch or Jean Grey
just the egg resurrection and his mind is put back in the body
