We’ve all seen Peter’s leg cast in Apocalypse right? I have one question…why the Fuck does it go all the way up his thigh and he’s STILL wearing his leather pants?? Like,, Peter what are you doing- Shouldn’t he be wearing shorts or something? He’s wearing pants UNDER the cast.. like maybe he can heal in a few hours and that’s why but still why would you wear pants under a cast-

there's something so unserious about the elevator scene in dofp, like yes i know they have not seen each other in a decade and the tension between them could be cut with a knife, but Peter in the background watching them argue is so funny to me

I keep thinking about this post, because come on how cool would it have been for the writers to pick up on the fact that after ten long years imprisoned, Peter was the first person Erik saw! Ergo, Peter brought on a new chapter in his life. Since they decided to wreck Erik's life again in Apocalypse, they could have continued of the thread of Peter being a new chapter, a new hope in Erik's life, and now on a much deeper level GAHHH.

It is genuinely annoying that they didn't do anything with this. They were sitting on gold and just threw that gold in the trash, why??? The opportunity was right there to do something amazing and memorable, instead we got DUST. It would've been touching, potent, and much better storytelling.
