Mutations, True Love and Plot. Somewhere. Probably

[wickednotevil]

Dearest darlingest flist, let me tell you a story about gay mutants.
No, really, X-men First Class is possibly the slashiest thing I’ve seen in…ooh, about a day ;P
Cut for masses and masses of spoilers. Like the entire plot, as seen through the eyes of someone who only cared about the gay bits.

I'VE SEEN IT, I'VE SEEN IT, I'VE SEEN IT! \o/

They are so in love! ♥ Erik is so hot! Charles is hot too, and I love his accent. I love Erik's accent as well. I love them in bed together! Even Wolverine ships that.

And the end! D: I want them to still be married in the next movies. They could have waited a little more before being on different sides (even though they've always been on different sides, but they've always known they were and didn't care because they LOVE each other sfm!).

YAYS! MORE PEOPLE NEED TO *nods*

Aren't they just? Erik is hot as hell when he's going around being all threatening to every Nazi-sympathiser he comes across, with bonus superpowers to really hammer the point home. Charles is just adorable, sister and all.
Wolverine was possibly my favourite moment of the film. Just so...him.
I ship it. Bet the entire team of baby!X-men ship it too :D

I knew what was coming, obviously, but at the end I just wish Charles hadn't said it was Erik's fault. Then they could've been all cute for just a little bit longer, with Erik looking after him and helping set up the school and THEN turn into Magneto when they have their next big fight.
(I at least want Magneto to sneak into the mansion every so often for a game of chess whenever Charles can't sleep. And by 'game of chess' I mean set the board up and then have sex instead. And when Charles wakes up Erik always makes another move on the board. So Charles always knows he's coming back to finish the game *wants*)

Yeah, he's so hot and I love that he does kill them. It would be bad IRL, but it pisses me off every time a character gets convinced to stop in the middle of their revenge. *is evil*

I was all "Ouch!" when Charles said Erik did it, but he had to do it to save Moira's life. It's not like he hates him or anything, he still loves him with all his heart. <3

Aw, that continuing game of chess sounds like such a nice idea.

I know just what you mean, revenge trips that have taken that long and shaped a person so much should not be so easily put off. Even for true love~

I'm pretty sure at that point Charles could've pretended to be suffering even more, whimper maybe, and Erik would've stopped choking her too. Sweetie is tough, yes, but not when it comes to his little professor ;)

Doesn't it? And then the reason why they're always playing in the later films is for old times sake.

lololol james mcavoy's face (forehead) frightens me...but given the good reviews i'm totally going to go see it \o/

It's v. gay and v. 60's. One of these things pleases me more than the other (although hearing groovy being used as part of a chat up line amuses me greatly :D)

You made me want to watch it even more. I saw the trailer when I went to see Pirates and it looked pretty fun.

[wickednotevil]

You remember the really old Bond films that used to be on at bank holidays? It's like that. But with superpowers. And Magneto and Xavier being...very good friends :D
Ooh, pirates! What did you think? I liked it, Jack being sensible for once and not giving in to feminine whiles at the end made my day (and the mermaid and the clergyman, they were sweet)
