So I'm now reading the House of M tie-ins. Some are better than others. The Incredible Hulk ones are (so far) interesting. In Incredible Hulk 84 we have some bizarre imagery:
That's the Australian government, looking suspiciously like Nazis. In the House of M reality Erik Lensher is still a holocaust survivor. I can't imagine him condoning the Australian's government's treatement of homo sapiens. A view point supported by this entry in Secrets of the House of M:
Maybe I haven't read enough X-men but in my head Magneto is fighting for a fair deal for mutants, if homo sapiens are killed in this fight, fair enough, but he wouldn't approve of treating non-mutants like the Nazis treated their victims.
In this reality everyone is meant to have their heart's desire. I don't buy that Magneto wants to enforce this level of suffering on humanity.

At the risk of stirring up a political hornet's nest, you could consider the Israeli treatment of Palestinians as a parallel.
ReplyDeleteThat's actually a very good point. And probably something obvious I should have thought of.
