Thanos is an eco terrorist. Ultron is a peace activist. Magneto is patterned after Malcolm X.

So much of this is modern to the MCU as well. What gets me about X-Men is how much racial profiling, ethic ghettos, and a hyper-militant police force played a roll in the original comic books (and 90s cartoon). Modem iterations boiled all that away and just made Magneto some angry asshole [survived the Holocaust].

I will say... Magneto as a Zionist worked disturbingly well. But they'll never do that arc under the Disney brand.
