Here We Go Again
Despite being brilliant, Hank really lacks imagination. Cerebro? Really?
First Class is finally out and rewatchable as much as I like. This really should be terrifying.
Considered trying to do this post on reactions in order they show up in the film but that's just not going to happen since it's still going on: Oh Darwin. Also, Sean, you can't get a date to save your life and I can't decide if that's cuter or sader.
So, rewatching this, it occurs to me yet again how not only creepy Shaw is, but how very terrifying Erik is in the beginning. I mean, watching the very first scene with Shaw and Erik, it's interesting to note that Shaw uses the informal form of "you" while addressing Erik. While this is perfectly normal for an adult to talk to a child using the "du" it somehow makes that scene so much creepier to me.
Also, can Erik wear that grey suit and fedora forever? Please? Though his first couple scenes dealing with the bank and Argentina is really quite terrifying. I mean, damn Erik. You may be daper as all shit, but you take distrubing to a whole new level. Like, it's obvious he starts creeping out the other Germans really early on. But it's also possibly the only outfit he wears ((beside maybe the wetsuit?)) where he doesn't have a high collar.
However, the more I watch this movie the more I'm ticked about it's version of Emma. There are a couple of lines that sound like something Emma might have said, such as "That would imply both sides stand an equal chance of winning" but the posture and tone of voice is all wrong. Also, she's not supposed to be able to use telepathy while in diamond form ((which I seem to recall her doing at one point)). Plus, she usually keeps her damn clothes when she's in diamond form. Not to mention the "sex" scene with the Russian General? What the fuck was that?
Erik really does lack any form of subtlety. He really does. Though Charles has a major, maniplative/passive-agressive streak a mile wide.
Dude, is Hank wearing oxfords? Win.
,,, Also, Darwin runs his hand along Alex's freaking chest. You know, where he shoots out bolts that can kill people? And Alex doesn't mind. This is saying something. Rather blantantly. Which is only supported by the rest of the scene.
... Shaw is really not supposed to have this level of power. I may be off but I swear this sort of power strikes me as much more Bishop. Shaw's mostly kinetic. Not, like bombs and engery. Though these effects are pretty. It also seems like Azazel has a much farther reach than Nightcrawler does, being able to get across the entire USA in less than ten minutes and supposidly transport out of their sub in the middle of the ocean.
Riptide doesn't actually seem to kill anyone in this movie. Azazel takes apart the entire compound and Riptide just takes out Cerebro. Nor do I think Riptide says a single thing in the film.
That all being said, I think I got four hours of sleep last night and got to open the store at work today. That was thrilling.
