To Hollywood, history is a sort of joke and icon and the same time and certainly fodder for reducing real questions to nonsense. Magneto, with all his magnetic powers, would still have more to do than just redirect the “single bullet” in Dealey Plaza to make a lone assassin meet the test of reality and physics.
The wounds to President Kennedy and Governor Connally came from completely different directions and could not have been caused by anything less than five bullets, which still does not explain other bullet damage to the car, the bystanders and the street. It does not explain the brain, blood and bone spatter back and to the left of the limousine from the fatal head shot.
The forensic and ballistic problems with the official version of the JFK assassination do not rest with the “magic bullet”. The alleged rifle and the position of the accused assassin would also have to be altered completely. The Warren Commission was stymied with getting three bullets to do all the work, since that is all there was time to fire, much less aim and direct if you insist on a single assassin in the Book Depository. The “single bullet” thesis was a solution that defied the real evidence but purported to explain away all the contradictions.
Why bother bullet-bending when you could just provide rifles to five or six mutants in different locations? The official investigation would have covered them up anyway. Instead of reducing critical historical and criminal questions to the level of absurdity and pop-culture speculation, why not do a sequel to JFK with all the deaths of witnesses and the other assassinations that followed it using the best evidence now available? Far too much to ask, I know. This vacuous review says it all.
“X-Men: First Class” Sequel May Explain JFK “Magic Bullet” Theory

Matthew Vaughn, who reinvigorated the X-Men franchise with the prequel “X-Men: First Class,” has officially signed on to direct the sequel.
When last we left them, Professor Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto
(Michael Fassbender) had just helped end the Cuban Missile Crisis. So
what exactly does Vaughn have in mind for the follow-up?
How about plopping mutants right into the middle of the Kennedy assassination?
It makes sense, as having a Master of Magnetism lurking in the grassy
knoll would certainly jibe well with a certain “Magic Bullet” theory:
Vaughn has already said he’d love to have Magneto mess with one of the most controversial moments in American history, so here’s hoping this isn’t just blue-skying on his part. We’d love to see it happen.
“I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy assassination, and
we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto. That would
explain the physics of it, and we see that he’s pissed off because
Kennedy took all the credit for saving the world and mutants weren’t
even mentioned,” said Vaughn.
This throws cold water on the fans’ hopes that the sequel would put
the mutants in the groovy 70s, but it sounds like it could make for
another politically-themed epic that worked so well the first time
around.
