10 Dumbest Decisions In Superhero Movie History

6. Everyone Forgives Magneto's Murderous Rampage - X-Men: Apocalypse

To say that the X-Men series has taken a charitably sympathetic view of Magneto (Michael Fassbender) would be an understatement.

The guy has done more face-heel turns than The Big Show, and yet the X-Men, especially Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), still welcome him back into the fold with open arms every damn time.

This reached its moronic apex at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse, where after Magneto has literally slaughtered hundreds of millions of people while in league with Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), Xavier kindly accepts him once again, even referring to him as "old friend."

Even if you accept that Magneto is Xavier's emotional blindspot, does it really make sense for anyone to forgive someone when they cause this much suffering, especially when it damages Xavier's efforts for human-mutant harmony so aggressively?

Granted, Xavier became increasingly daft in the last few X-Men films - bizarrely re-naming his school after Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) rather than Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) in Dark Phoenix, for example - but the fact that he and the other superheroes didn't bat an eyelid at Magneto's wanton slaughter was monumentally dumb.

Clearly, if the X-Men series hadn't flamed out so quickly after Apocalypse, Magneto would've turned on the X-Men again in a future film and we'd have to sit through Xavier wringing his hands again about the inability for humans and mutants to co-exist. Wonder why.
