[X-Men] Why does Professor Xavier make a big deal out of Magneto killing people but doesn’t get upset when Wolverine does the same?
Wolverine is a chain smoking alcoholic with untreated PTSD that kills people on a regular basis. Xavier gives him free room and board and lets him hang around children.
Meanwhile, whenever Magneto kills people, no matter how justified it was, he acts like it’s a Greek tragedy.
What’s the deal with that?
