The Ultimates was the best the Avengers had ever been. Millar knocked it out of the park. The MCU was wise to use that. But none of them can ever come close to Claremont's X-Men/TAS and Spider-Man in terms of popularity. The MCU has been working with the leftovers, and did better than Fox did with the best IP in the entire superhero genre.

I am happy the X-Men are coming to the MCU and that Disney purchased Fox.
100 percent agree. New Mutants's casting is a disgrace and I really hope the online shitstorm will blow them apart! #NewMutantsSoWhite
But I find these "company conversations" difficult and exhausting. I'm not a Fox or Disney fan and I don't even know what that means. I watch movies and I like some of them by some directors and others I do not. I really love some movies Marvel has done, but others are just dull. Really dull and heartless!
And yes, I love what Fox did with Magneto, Xavier, Wolverine, even Jean, and, yes, Mystique. Magneto for me is the best comic book character brought to live.
Remember when you said marvel could tackle the themes. that will be a no for me. It is not what time he had his powers, it has never about powers, it is about the characters and their story. Having his powers were not a main catalyst of what he experienced in the camps that set the course for his views on mutant taking their place on earth.
We always remember magneto in that camp not his powers. if it was marvel movies, it will be about his powers since marvel movies have no depth to their films.
Usually, I stay away from who gets it right page by page since not one does that, Fox, Marvel, DC. if you want to talk of messed up and clubber fox for the Anya/Magda origin, please also clobber marvel for messing up Ultron, GOTG, The Infinity Gunlet, Whiplash, Spider-Man, Rangarok, Civil War for their origins too.
I think the Anya/Magda story works fine with what they were going for, which is that Magneto is fated to never have a family. Just like Jean is fated to be Phoenix because time works like a river. Problem was that they didn’t explicitly reestablished what Beast said in DoFP.

If I cared a fraction as much about those characters as I do the X-Men, I would. But I don't. Even still, I do have problems with their changes to Thanos's motivations, and T'Chaka's history, in particular, but they still managed to make compelling films anyways. Fox stripped so much of the X-Men mythos away in their ignorance, that as an well-read fan, I can not overlook this. I look forward to seeing the MCU tackle these characters from a new perspective, guided by a producer who has an obvious deep love for the Marvel Comics Universe, and even when they make changes, there is still a deep knowledge of the actual canon evident(such as Hulk taking Silver Surfer's place in IW's scene where he crashes into Dr. Strange's Sanctum in warning of the coming threat). Singer and crew couldn't even be bothered to read some comics in two whole decades.

No, the crux of the Anya/Magda story was that even though he and Magda lived through the camps together, and escaped together, and had a child together, when she saw him unleash his powers avenging their little child(who had no powers), she ran from him in disgust. That broke his heart, and made him turn from humanity. To become Magneto. To think that, even after using him as one of their few central characters, they didn't know this story until Fassbender did his research 16 years after they've already been making these movies, is a travesty. And even when they adapt it finally, completely out of sequence for the character's development, they still screw it up.
And Quicksilver is right there.... Beast's [completely]bs interpretation of quantum mechanics is not some mandate to constantly screw up these characters over and over again.
