I think it's tough too when the MCU has an established timeline and it's already 2025+ or something. Magneto would be like 90 years old if they go that route so IDK what they could do.
This was definitely something I was thinking about a lot. What exactly do you do with that aspect of the character for the MCU? Do you do the comic book thing and use bs plot elements to explain why he's lived so long? That would just makes things confusing to new audiences and seem pointless (that is to say, a comic book audience expects, if not demands that backstory, and would be more willing to suspend their belief to justify its inclusion). Do you transfer the story to a more modern setting? That would make it less impactful, even if you did have good examples of tragic events from recent history. Do you leave it out? That would seem like erasure. I think the comics and similar adaptations, which still struggle with the sliding timescale, have the ability to handle it better than a movie does, which is why the last round of X-Men movies were prequels...
