In fairness to X-Men, it was slop that made people engage with the idea of being a marginalized person.
Also Magneto's whole point is that there has to be a counterpoint of violence in order for Xavier's vision to be more palateable.
The original X-Men trilogy was pretty good slop. It was before all of the personality had been sandblasted off of superhero films and you could cold open with a scene at a Nazi concentration camp.
I remember a quote by the V-man that actually was quite fascinating; he said that 20 (30?) years ago, if you told a Republican you hated racists (and I feel this applies to Nazis too) they would reply with "great, I hate them too", today the response is "I'm not a racist!"
You can't have media anymore about Nazis without certain people getting upset. There were people getting upset about Nazis in the new Wolfenstein games and like....who do you think the villains were in the original games?
