Tried to draw Sunspot!
(The reason I drew him black is because he's canonically afro-brazilian in his origin story, which I didn't even know until searching him up.)

Magneto is JEWISH. He is a Jewish character. The original version of the story the new X-Men 97 season is trying to tell relied on him being snapped out his plan by a young Jewish girl being hurt (I actually posted about how much I love this story beat last year). A young Jewish girl he later attends a meeting of Holocaust survivors with. Telling this story without using the word “Holocaust” or “Jewish” is so very telling. And it’s not a one off with this show— Roberto is an Afro-Brazilian character who manifested his powers because of a hate crime and they changed his origin completely.
Disney will ALWAYS shy away from these issues. They will ALWAYS want the kudos from having minority characters while sanitizing their stories. Really think about what it means for them to do this to characters like Sunspot and Magneto, but stand their ground when it comes to keeping the Israeli propaganda character in upcoming Cap movie.

I’ve seen people use Rogue’s dance with Magneto as a reason to hate on her so I’m gonna put out my opinion on that scene.
Did she break Gambit’s heart?
Yes, she definitely did but remember that the first boyfriend she had almost died from kissing her so her fears are not irrational.
I would also go on to say that she probably didn’t believe Gambit when he says that they don’t need to be physical considering how he was with other women.
Now for the dance scene, I believe that she was enjoying being able to touch someone and was trying to convince herself that she made the right decision. At one point, Rogue glances to her side while dancing and I would guess that’s a sign that she was second-guessing her decision.
Finally, she and magneto kissed which made her realize that she did not love him. Being physical with someone was not important and that she loved Gambit.
TLDR: Rogue was enjoying touching someone then realizes she loves Gambit, despite not being able to touch him
