WTF? Charles Xavier is alive?

[idioticonion]

Okay, I've seen X-men 3: The Last Stand, probably 10 times, including at the actual cinema. HOW did I never realize it has a post-credits bit? I mean, it used to break my heart at the end of the regular movie to see Erik's powers still there, just a tiny bit, and seeing him there with his silver and gold chess set missing Charles.

But... Skip to

LOOL Yeah I never understood that ending bit, but I did at least see it in the cinema rather than years later XD

[idioticonion]

Yeah, I'm confused because I always wait till the end of films for the Endy Bit! But I'm glad I didn't see it, because I love the idea of Erik being left alone. It's so sweet and sad!

[easterly]

I never saw X3 in theaters, and I hadn't seen that scene until now.

D: What is this rubbish.

[idioticonion]

I know, right? I watched it again last night and it STILL doesn't really make sense! The mind boggles about what they were trying to say? Oooo, Charles is immortal? Jog on!

[takmarierah]

Whhhhaaaat

I mean, I hated how Charles died in that even before First Class but

whhhaaaaaaaat

(although I could see if he altered her perception of his appearance to make him look like himself, still, not sure I trust the internet on that)

BTW, given that McAvoy's chest seems to be basically hairless and Sir Patrick is, well, a man's man, I like to believe that the reason Charles is bald is because it all migrated to his chest.

[idioticonion]

Well, somebody on my f-list picked up on this:-

the body he wakes up in is his twin - who was brain dead from birth, a side effect from sharing the womb with his mutant brother. So, instead of dying, Professor X hi-jacks his brother's body.

SAY WHAT? This is even more insane.

And yes, haha, I'm now scared that McAvoy is going to sprout lots of hair on his body to compensate for when they shave his head. I always assumed Prof X lost his hair due to misuse or overuse of Cerebro.

I suppose the next film will finally answer that!

[takmarierah]

That, uh, huh. That's a bit bizarre, but, well, Marvel, I guess.

It sounded like they wanted to make Charles lose his hair in some badass way? (or at least Mcvoy did) Either way, I hope it isn't next film, because I adore McAvoy's floppy hair. D: It seems like he must naturally not be hairy, though, considering that all of his many, many naked pictures show his chest pretty clearly, which is a circuitous way of mentioning that I love that photo you posted from "the Pool" where he is glowing in the dark next to all the tan people. XD

Oh, I agree, I LOVE James's hair and I love that little suble reference to it when he first puts on Cerebro. And I adore how fandom (especially Tumblr) has run with that and made Charles super-protective of his hair.

Oh James - he's got such a Scottish complexion. It's like the comedian Billy Connolly says "I'm Scottish, my skin is naturally blue. It takes me a week to get white. I have to use factor 100 suncream - that's a bandage".

[snogged]

I don't understand that at all.

[idioticonion]

None of us do!

[caffienekitty]

Well, crap! That's obviously one of the few movies I didn't watch the credits right to the end. I should probably rewatch the whole thing at some point, but I also haven't watched First Class yet, so, I'll likely wait for DVD and then do an Omega-Alpha watch and really mess with my sense of continuity.

[idioticonion]

What WHAT? You haven't seen X-Men: First Class? Honestly, if there is ONE film you need to see this year, it's First Class.

Seriously, that film has wrecked my brain and taken over my life. And the fandom is like a voracious BEAST.

[caffienekitty]

I'm waiting for DVD for several reasons: I don't get home from work until late and then I have chores which cannot be put off or rescheduled before making dinner and it's usually after 9 before I can do anything else, plus I have a difficult time focussing in theatres, and also, I'm broke. XD
