    Xavier is in the “peace and no one gets genocided” camp, and still gets genocided. Magneto is right and is acting in self-defense.

      Magneto also has a tendency to shoot first and target civilians, including civilians sympathetic to his cause. He’s a sympathetic figure and he has a point, but he’s only a hero half the time for a reason.
