Modern comic writing representation :

Random "X-Person" : "Magneto! Why did you use your magnet powers to magnet that bus of children off a cliff?!?"
Magneto : "I'm Jewish! The Germans were bad!"
Random "X-Person" : "Oh. Understood. Checks out." *mounts up on their unicorn and flies off*

So .8 will add some stuff needed to build on later, and we think it should be out this month, right? I'm assuming this will be fairly minor but add some new art and options.

Is that right?

I wonder how long the next update will be after that, especially the full second year.

Love this game so much and can't wait for more.

I'm trying to figure out if this comment was meant to be ironic. Contextually, it doesn't seem so. But given that Magneto's entire backstory is that he was a German-born Jew who was sent to Auschwitz and barely survived the Holocaust, the fact is that he's actually pretty damned Jewish. So it makes an odd point of comparison in your argument unless you're saying that the aforementioned rather critical part of his background has also been 'forgotten.'

If surviving the camps during WW2 is the only thing that defines the jewish people and their culture then there are a LOT of gypsies, gays, POW's and other "undesirables" that would have right of return to israel. One relatively recent bad historical event does not define an entire race of people and their culture.
If anything, Magento is portrayed as more of the modern idea of the Nazi ideal. A intelligent, tall, muscular, and well heeled man, that some would call an "Ubermensch" if you will, that believes the lower races of the world should be exterminated to make way for the master race (mutants in this case).

You are joking but that's not that far off, and if we are being honest jews do use the holocaust as a "get out of jail free" card when it comes to evil shit they do.

Still wouldn't be the most evil lawyer in the Marvel world, not by a longshot. Surprised Norman Osborn never tried to Goblin up his legal team, they would be perfect for it. Imagine a bunch of New York corporate lawyers with Gobin super strength throwing bombs... then again that would be less evil than what they do on daily a basis.

The best part of that video is how they just brush over Logan not reacting either, considering he personally knew and fought alongside Cap during WW2 him not giving a shit would be even funnier.

WTF, you sure are putting a lot of words in my mouth there, hoss. I never said nor implied that the Holocaust defined an entire race or culture. Nor did I ever say anything about the concentration camps defining Jewish people.

What an utterly absurd misinterpretation to make of my statement and the character's background.

As I stated in my post, which you quoted but somehow still grossly (deliberately?) misunderstood, Max Eisenhardt (Magneto) was EXPLICITLY stated to be of Jewish heritage. Claremont was clear about it in issue 150 of Uncanny X-Men when defining his backstory. Unequivocally clear. Jewish. Born in Germany. Fled to Poland after escaping Kristallnacht. Married a Ukrainian Sinti. This backstory was again confirmed and explicitly clarified in Greg Pak's Magneto Testament trade paperback in 2008.

In fact, one of the earliest defining events in Magneto's redemption arc was when he nearly killed Kitty during their first encounter and stopped himself specifically when he realized she was a young Jewish girl. His reflection on coming so close to betraying his own ideal upon finding out who she was was instrumental in his character development for decades to come.

You can call Magneto out as being a 'Nazi ideal' all you want, but whatever bullshit you're spouting does not countermand the fact that his backstory explicitly defines him as Jewish. Not because he survived the camps. But because he was BORN JEWISH.

In my opinion her acting is only slightly better than Gal Gadot's.
When she's playing model or escort like in Last Night in Soho or The Menu- she's great.
When she's playing someone else... Her acting is okay at best
