Magneto needs to be in the present.

I am intrigued by a civil rights inspired magneto and Charles but I would also be crushed if magneto wasn't Wanda and pietro's old man. So I'm very torn

He said Wanda and Pietro, not just Wanda. Honestly the tension within the relationship of all 3 is an interesting aspects to explore, I think.Contentious opinions imminent...
For me, there is not much conflict.
To me, Magneto adds nothing to Wanda's character (writers, especially X-Men writers, bend her character to fit around him), and she definitely adds nothing to him, given her disinterest in ideology, while his entire character is ideological. It's the old sexist trope of female characters orbiting around the alpha male patriarch type.
Its alpha male dick worship, basically. Magneto ruthlessly pumped and dumped Wanda's mother, and we are then supposed to think Mag's one night stand with some no-mark **** now has super-important emotional weight.
Looking at the godawful handling of her in the comics, if Wanda were a male character, the focus would have definitely been on Chthon and Set as her antagonists, but because its the men who do the important stuff, she instead got relegated to boring, twee family drama.
