Disney is too chicken to do it but we need a Magneto movie about mutant supremacy and killing the evil humans.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

Everyone always says Magneto is right, but when he loses his grip on reality, starts calling himself Xorn for a while and then starts putting humans into gas chambers, where are they?
At home, writing angry letters at Grant Morrison
That's just True Blood season 6.
Tbh Xmen needs a third faction that isn't either mutant supremacy or mutant liberalism.
Hell yeah! Mutant Capitalism!
That is basically the position of Professor X isn't it? Win over and integrate into the existing society by being the "good" mutants (obedient and subservient to the status quo).
There is room for a revolutionary option that seeks neither supremacy nor integration under capital but a complete reorganisation of society.
I was more thinking literal work for hire mutants using their powers solely for profit.
We’re all thinking of that Falcon show, right?
I thought of Dark Knight Rises. That was a while ago, but it was just so blatant with the ideology.
I’m more forgiving of TDKR because of the League of Shadow’s previously stated goals. Funny how we’ll never get a movie where a bourgeois revolution is orchestrated by the bad guys.
But yeah the Flag Breakers in the Falcon show are given the classic liberal treatment of “their ideas are good, but their methods are wrong, and it’d never work anyway!”
But the displaced people were bad because they bombed the CIA!
In the movies Dr Octopus was literally seconds away from creating infinite clean energy which would have changed the face of humanity forever. If Spider Man had not interfered as he contained the miniature sun then everything would have worked out fine the second time.
My biggest issue is the radical will often be a conscientious, complex rebel with well thought through motives that makes good points about improving society; Then a scene of them needlessly stomping a kitten or killing innocents is suddenly inserted, to ensure all complexity is immediately removed and pretend they never had a point.
