Not just a terrorist. Magneto became the very thing he hated. He's a holocaust survivor and a victim of the Nazi regime, which makes him somewhat of a sympathetic figure, and although the films try very hard to justify his actions, given his Jewish background and by having him team up with the heroes, ultimately he always shows that even someone like him, a victim, can become a monster if pushed or oppressed long enough, to the point that he just hates an entire group of people.

Affleck via EW:
Justice League will mark Ben Affleck’s second feature film as Batman. Well, technically it’s his third. “Do I get credit for the Suicide Squad gross?” the actor laughs, joking (and underestimating) that he was onscreen for “less than 35 seconds” in last year’s supervillain team-up film. He’ll have a decidedly larger role when DC’s good guys mobilize in the November blockbuster, which unites Affleck’s Dark Knight and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman alongside Ezra Miller’s Flash, Ray Fisher’s Cyborg, and Jason Momoa’s Aquaman. (And maybe Henry Cavill’s Superman, if he’s not quite dead.)
That means Batman has to learn to work together with his fellow superheroes. “He’s put in this position of having to reach out, find other people, convincing them to do something,” Affleck explains. “Part of the drama of the movie is the question of whether or not the team is going to come together. It’s very different from the tenor of the last movie.”
And the character is very different, too. “BvS departed a little bit from the traditional Batman,” says Affleck. “He started out with all this rage directed at Superman, because of his coworkers who had died in the fight Superman had with Zod.” For Affleck, most of the hero’s ensuing actions were defined by barely-repressed fury – in contrast to the Batman we meet in Justice League. “He was holding on to a lot of anger, in a little bit of an irrational way,” Affleck says. “Whereas this is a much more traditional Batman. He’s heroic. He does things in his own way, but he wants to save people, help people.”
Affleck frames the new attitude as a return to a more classical incarnation of the Caped Crusader. “This is more in keeping with the canon of how Batman’s usually been portrayed, and how he’s portrayed vis a vis the Justice League in the comics,” he explains. “This is more the Batman you would find if you opened up your average Batman comic book.”
“Not that it’s average,” Affleck clarifies. “I think it’s a really cool story. Actually, it’s sort of a story about multilateralism. It’s not a bad theme to have!” Hey, if the universe’s moodiest billionaire can learn the value of collaboration, there’s hope for us all

I don't get why Magneto rebuilding the mansion is a problem or out of character? It makes total sense.
Magneto is pro Mutant. He's building a house for mutants, not regular humans.
People keep forgetting that Magneto loves and appreciates his kind, even the ones he doesn't agree with, because they are still mutants.
Now, had they shown him rebuilding all the cities, the White House and the stadiums he destroyed, then that might not make sense, but the mansion, it makes sense.

Magneto= Hitler?
No, no, that's wrong.
Magneto= Malcom X
Chalres= MLK

I dont recall malcolm x wanting to destroy every white person in the world
DC's heroes are killing machines because nothing says "hero" like taking the easy way out, duh. Also, the film was directed by a guy that snaps necks with a smile on his face.
Avenger kill just as many people as dc, u must forget that new York was destroyed and both Tony stark and hulk ****ed **** up big time in age of ultron, not to mention cap knocking police off balcanys in civil war to save bucky, and scarlet which killing those people to save cap, the devestation thor caused in london. Dr strange
****ed **** up too but he used magic, aka superman 2 to reverse the damage..Selective memories are great my wife has one too. Almost forgot ant man blowing up that building with all the workers in it just to destroy the Pym formula

I didn't forget about people dying in Marvel films--I just don't give a **** about them. I'm mainly a DC fan so I'm more concerned with how those heroes are portrayed in the films. Thanks for the info about your wife--though that's another topic I don't give a **** about.
Awesome dude just watch the cartons if u want rated g hero's or superman saving cats from trees for 2 hours. The majority of people like action and fight scenes people deliberating about no violence policy for two hours won't be fun for anyone to watch.. check out phantoms menace, or better yet just replay superman returns over and over

Maybe after several decades experiencing discrimination and as an older Magneto, he might see the mansion as a prison of the mind...or something like that, because as he gets older he becomes more radical, but I think it made sense for Fassneto to do it at that point in his life. I don't think it was out of character for any Magneto at that point in his life to not see the mutant mansion as a symbolic prison that's blinding his kind.
Then again, if old Magneto really saw the mansion as a problem, he would have attacked it. He never did.

I never said I don't like the action in these films, but you can have mind-numbing video game violence and still not have heroes kill. They may not be able to save everyone from whatever the villain is doing, but (maybe this is old school thinking) Superman and Batman are not cold-blooded murderers. If you have any experience with the history of these characters then you would know this. You are probably more of a fan of anti-heroes like Punisher and Wolverine, which is great because they have their place, but Superman and Batman are not anti-heroes. They have a code they live by and that doesn't include killing. And are you actually using Phantom Menace as an example of no one dying? Have you even seen the film or are you just not able to make your point so you tried to come up with the most immature worthless piece of **** movie you could think of? Come back when you can better explain your argument instead of trying to make petty insults that don't have anything to do with the topic.
I referenced phantom menace because all they dis was deliberate about ****, I don't want to see superman and Batman talking about that sort of ****. I understand the characters but there have been so many stories written. Supes killed both doomsday and zod in the comics, I don't see any problem with him snapping zods neck to.save those people.
Man maybe we are just different u say your a huge dc fan, well I am too I'm just so happy these movies are being made, and I get to see them in my life time. I guess u would rather not have them made so just watch the cartoons
Also I never insulted u, you were the one cussing and getting your panties in a bunch, I was simply responding to your first post

We are different. You think these films have to have violence at the expense of the characters, and I think you can balance the action and exposition without the characters or film suffering. I think these DC films have largely been pieces of **** that are poorly written just to get to the big JL moment--and unfortunately I think it's going to suck as well. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I don't see it happening with the plan DC has for these films. Plus, I would argue that any of the DC animated series (and some of the earlier animated films) are much better than any of these DC films. If you disagree then either you haven't watched them or didn't get it. I would suggest watching any of them again and paying attention this time.
I love the animated movies, but again I'm not as hardcore as u are when it comes to strictly adhering to one version of the character in the comic arc whether it be the golden age siver age or modern age
Did u like superman returns, it's seems u should because that's the superman it seems u to want to see on screen or the CR s upes from the 70_80s
Also I never said I want to see violence at the expense of character not sure who posted that, I just love seeing them on the silver screen. I never thought I'd get to see these movie made in my life time
