Nerd Post. Political analogies in "X-men First Class"

[bnmc2005]

I've made list of movie reviews that highlight the political analogies in X-Men first class.  Fair warning up front. This post contains spoilers. If you haven't seen the movie,  Don't read this post. I would recommend the movie for good action-fantasy entertainment alone. But because I'm a nerd that reads way too much into everything   knows that

ok I'm about to read this but I just wanna take a moment to LOL at that picture. omg, the homoerotic tension in this movie, you can cut it with a knife. (And I came in thinking "meh, any tiny touch between these guys is gonna be overblown becuase they're both handsome white guys and fangirls love that shit." But no. I was won over by the sheer BOYFRANDSness of it all.)

OKAY NOW TO ACTUALLY READ THE POST

It was really gay. And I also choose to believe that Darwin was reaching out to his new boyfriend Havok in his last moments. GAY.

See, I was shipping Darwin/Banshee. There's this seen right before Shaw shows up, where Banshee touches Darwin's chest for no reason other than he wanted to.

I liked that bit too. There was lots of cuteness in this movie.

I don't really ship either but didn't Darwin/Havok have some chest touching right before Shaw showed up when Havok was playing the arcade game?
