Besides Magneto and his supporting evil mutants, the only villains the X-Men have faced are aging and paranoid white politicians. (It€™s been proven that you don€™t need superpowers to beat the Republican Party.) What about the Sentinels, Sinister, or Apocalypse? If I would€™ve told you before the franchise started that we€™d go through six X-Men movies with absolutely no mention of these guys, you€™d tell me it would be a dry and repetitive franchise. And you€™d be right. Granted, you€™re not going to find a better villain for the X-Men to face off against than Magneto, but does that mean that he needs to be in every X-movie? Well, of course! That€™s why we have the Joker featured in every Batman movie.
