Did Magneto Actually Kill JFK?

YAY YOU'RE BACK!

You know it!

@Lizardking310: That's what Magneto said, but we all know he lied. He lied throughout all of Days of Future Past and only does what he needs to suit his ends. ALSO, a very similar instance happens in the movie that pretty much solidifies that Magneto killed JFK on purpose. What scene is that? It's the scene where the exact same thing Magneto said happened with the JFK incident happens again and Magneto is successful in hitting his target: Mystique. Magneto said he tried to "re-direct" the bullet from hitting JFK, but it accidentally hit him after he was tackled to the ground and distracted.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure!

The exact same thing happens when Magneto confronts Mystique. He's able to curve the bullet out of the window and hit Mystique in the LEG, even as Wolverine and Beast (or was it Xavier?) tackled him to the floor. The guy lied. He killed JFK for his efforts of equality. Something Magneto does NOT believe in. Mutants are superior. They are the future in his eyes.

I feel like if Magneto wanted to save the President from getting shot, he would have saved the President from getting shot. They should have just had him intentionally assassinate him.

I'd of rather have watch a first class sequel involving all this, not days of future crap

How hilarious, a "lighthearted" look at the murder of a real person, seriously!

After my second viewing I knew Magneto was lying

Pretty much this.

Magneto just can't get a break.

Didn't the viral site about this strongly imply that Mystique posed as Lee Harvey Oswald and that it was Mystique who assassinated him as vengeance for the deaths of Azazel and co. by an anti-mutant government group? Oswald was found unarmed in a movie theater completely confused by his own arrest. He confessed to killing someone prior (likely at Magneto's convincing). But he claims it was a 'double' that killed Kennedy.

But yes Magneto was totally lying bout JFK being a mutant.

The film implies that Mystique's first kill is Trask because she discovers he had killed her friends (Azazel, etc). There would have been something else there if we were to believe that she first killed Pres. Kennedy for the selfsame reason. How can you know Magneto lied about Kennedy being a mutant?

If you say mutant equality... It doesn't seem like it was quite the issue in 1973. Even governments in the film, including the US were not aware that a population of mutants existed, just a handful. Only people like Trask and Striker were seeking them out and creating fear among power groups. The American people weren't concerned about them and certainly couldn't know anything about their link to the Cuban Missile Crisis. That's pretty evident from the scenes in Paris where the world is getting an actual first look.

It would make more sense that Kennedy was a mutant and Magneto was trying to protect him. Having said that however, I think it would've been best to avoid the assassination plot for the film and have a ploy where future Magneto reveals his actual whereabouts to Wolverine in 1973. The whole concrete prison at the Pentagon just made it harder for me to suspend belief.

Groot did it!
