Ultimate... well, to paraphrase Penknife, who writes the best X men slash fics ever: 'Magneto's relationship with Charles goes beyond slashy to "makes zero sense as a platonic friendship."'
I agree. I wish they didn't make him a whacked-out nut job, even worse than the original, but I have no idea how we were meant to percieve their relationship, because I had an eyebrow raised all the way through the flashbacks- "Right, so Professor X leaves his wife and kid and goes off with Magneto, who he's been spending all his time with anyway. What am I supposed to think here?"
The movies were what started me on the comics, but yeah, Storm was awful there.
