X-Men: First Class is often remembered as the film that revitalized the X-Men franchise, but its biggest success may be its portrayal of Magneto. In this video, we break down why First Class works so well as an origin story for Erik Lehnsherr, exploring his tragic past, his hunt for revenge, his complex friendship with Charles Xavier, and the events that transform him into one of Marvel’s greatest villains. At the same time, we examine the film’s treatment of Emma Frost and why many fans view it as one of the character’s weakest live-action adaptations, from the lack of her trademark personality and intelligence to her limited role in the story. Join us as we look at how X-Men: First Class delivered a fantastic Magneto movie while failing to do justice to one of the X-Men universe’s most iconic characters.
