You know, in Genosha, I felt a lot of things. Pain, grief, admiration for those who fought, despite the odds. But you know what the oddest thing was? No one seemed shocked or surprised. Not even me. Yes, I was scared, but really, I just had the most profound sense of déjà vu. As if past, present and future didn't matter and never had. Because we always end up in the same ugly place. Thing is, Magneto knows us better than Charles ever did. Knows we know better. That most of us experience tragedies like Genosha as a bit of déjà vu before getting on with our day. But the scariest thing about Genosha wasn't the death or the chaos. It was a thought. The only sane thought you can have when being chased by giant robots that were built to crush you. Magneto was right.

奈何取之尽锱铢，用之如泥沙？使负栋之柱，多于南亩之农夫；架梁之椽，多于机上之工女；钉头磷磷，多于在庾之粟粒；瓦缝参差，多于周身之帛缕；直栏横槛，多于九土之城郭；管弦呕哑，多于市人之言语。使天下之人，不敢言而敢怒
