Here there be squee.
eeeeee
Because seriously? Seriously?! XD Tiny Charles and Raven! And oh god Raven. It is so sad when you know things are going to end badly. Really I quite want to slap the shit out of Charles for the way he treats Raven, even though I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean to be an asshole. It's just that she is quite right, he wants to conform and fit in and ideally, I think, have it be like they don't exist - like the mutations are no bigger a difference than eye and hair color. He flinches away from looking at her in her true form.
His little pick up spiel is telling, there. >:/
And yet. And yet him and Eric. Oh my god if that is not the great love of his life, it is a pretty damn huge crush. I mean he might as well be walking around after Eric with heart bubbles for eyes. And yet it's only just occurring to me as I type this that Eric doesn't react to Charles the same way. I suppose maybe because he's seen too much of the world already, and some of the ugliest filth the world has ever produced at that. He just. Cannot be as idealistic about it as Charles is. So he comes into it more reserved and maybe thinking that he'll let the starry eyed idealism wear off - yet he's the one with the touching. Seriously, have I mentioned that once Eric decides to stay, there's never more than maybe a foot of space between them, max. Their personal space is allll smushed together, all the time. XD
But he's bothered by the thing with Raven also. I love him for the way he treats Raven. Even if it is a bit manipulative, so is how Charles treats her and at least Eric is honest.
And on the subject of Hank. Serves him right! Though I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him - I have this soft spot for scientists going horribly wrong, or making blindingly stupid mistakes. And he's so young, really still a kid. So I watched that just feeling a little vindictive and mostly just oh here we go. Dammit Beast. :(
A lot of this movie was like that, really. Can't be helped when you know what's coming, but they did a good job of telling it well, I think. I enjoyed it, obviously! :)
The kids learning to control their powers was alternately awesome and hilarious also. Especially Banshee. om my god, Banshee. XD That was one of the moments where I really appreciated the audience - everyone laughed when he face planted out the window on his first try at flight.
Everyone laughed and cheered at the aborted attempt to recruit Wolverine. >:D I mean really, what can you do with a guy who responds with "go fuck yourselves". Also he just. Would not have worked with the kids, because ultimately all that first set were still kids.
I loved their partying showing off their powers so much. XD It was so utterly a thing that would happen, and Charles is such a stuffed up killjoy and a hypocrite. Mr. Beer Bong. Booo :P ...okay, so there was property damage involved. Still. >>
I did not like what they did with Angel and Darwin. I don't care if his death was heroic, that felt kind of skeevy. x.x
Eric heading to Magneto breaks my heart a little. Mostly because I kind of think Charles is right - Eric is considerably more than he is, on a level outside of their powers. It's just that he's so damaged by everything that's happened to him. >.<
Charles negotiates, and he tries to guide his people. Eric leads. And I honestly prefer Eric, if only he weren't being a homicidal jerk going down the become what you hate path.
