Person A : Oh, fiddlesticks.

Person B : Look, I understand this is a tense situation, but let's watch the fucking language.

Charles: What motivates you?

Erik: I suppose it's an unhealthy mix of spite, pettiness, thirst for vengeance and pure relentless rage

Charles: Right

How do those in the X-Men universe decide who is a mutant? Like it seems like it would be a easy answer, but it isn’t. In First Class when Charles is drunk and was flirting with McTaggert, he strokes her hair and names of what gene it is that makes her hair brown, and says his iconic line; “Very Groovy Mutation.” Wouldn’t that mean that everybody has a mutation? Just some are more extreme than others... that would lead to the possible answer that it’s those who stand out more than others and/or has powers. Heterochromia stands out, but that woman at the bar isn’t concidered a mutant. ...idk...

You’re Welcome 😊

Help???? I’m confused???

Okay, I need some help from anyone who has seen X-Men: Days of Future Past.

I remember a scene when they arrive at the White House where Charles talks to one of the veterans. The veteran asks how he got paralysed and Charles says “friendly fire.” to which the veteran responds “that’s the worst kind”. 

However, I can’t find any evidence that this scene is real. I just fast forwarded to that part of the movie and I tried to find it on YouTube but as far as I can tell, it doesn’t exist. 

Does anyone else remember this scene or did I just make it up?

I cant be the only one who thinks Raven is very ungrateful and kinda toxic towards Hank and Charles and it’s overlooked because she’s... insecure ig?

1. Invisible Mutations

I fully understand what she means by it but i honestly could not feel bad for her. She’s a shapeshifter! Who cares if her initial form is Misses Smurf she can just change it after at will. I could understand Hank because he doesn’t have the luxury to change his body at will and he has to accept that. When Raven says Mutant and Proud to Hank I just know Hank was rolling his eyes in his head. YOU can change your body I cannot. She has more of a invisible mutation then Hank, Azazel, etc. Also she says “mutant and proud” but she wanted Charles to stay out of her head, thus suppressing his mutation. She has to hide her mutation, just like every other mutant has to do or they’ll get killed.

2. Erik

Now I love Erik, he’s not the problem here. But if we look at it from Hank’s POV, Raven is being extremely toxic. Raven has had zero communication with him and then she shows up at the mansion years or months later and she’s like “Hey there”. Hank is happy to see Raven again after so long but still upset she didn’t speak to him or write to him at all. Then the first thing she starts talking about is, you guessed it, Erik.

Imagine your ex (i know they weren’t really together but they were clearly romantically involved). Broke up with you and has basically ignored you for years (let’s say 13 years) and the first thing your ex does after seeing you is ask for help. And not only that, but ask for help for the man she/he left you for. And they didn’t do this once but TWICE.

Charles is a victim of this too, Raven doesn’t even try asking how he is it goes straight into a argument almost immediately. And then she’s like “this is about erik”. I would have told her to get out of my house (and helped erik on the low).

3. Her little line she had in Dark Phoenix

Honestly that was a slap in the face to a lot of Charles Xavier fans. HE DIDNT RISK ANYTHING? Raven saw Charles fight Erik and then saw the bullet his his spine. SHE IS LOOKING AT HIM IM A WHEELCHAIR. And did she forget Charles had to pull himself out of a drug addiction to help her. Also she’s literally standing in his house. He sacrificed his money, his time, his energy for the mutants so they have a safe haven to be. She had no right to say that.

Then she said “The women are always saving the men around here”. One, both of the women and men were helping the mission out easily. Also RAVEN didn’t do anything in the mission? She just barked orders the whole time. Jean, Storm, Peter, Kurt, and Scott was always working together like a team. And why is Raven acting like Logan didn’t have to go to the past to stop her from causing the extinction of the entire mutant race? Why is she acting like Charles didn’t have to stop her, even though she knew the consequences?

ALSO did she not say in apocalypse “you are not kids, you are x-men” why all of the sudden they are kids now? Does she think Charles is forcing them to do it? I know he put them in danger but he wanted to save every one on that ship.

THIS IS ME RANTING BTW DONT TAKE THIS ALL SERIOUSLY I JUST DONT LIKE HER

This is deep

what do you think erik was like as a kid????? or just pre-shaw???? i was watching xmfc again and idk if i'd noticed that nervous smile at schmidt/shaw before but now i'm just really curious

Ok, so I went back to watch that scene since you made me curious and here’s the smile

and I’m just sad now. Really sad.

Look at him. He’s obviously confused, but he doesn’t know Shaw is a monster yet. In fact, he’s obviously hoping for the best. He’s just arrived at the camps and been immediately picked out by Shaw, so while I’m sure he’s already seen that it’s a horrible place to be, he probably doesn’t know the extent of it yet.

And he tries his best to move the coin, and he can’t, so he tells Shaw he did his best and then smiles shyly. 

It breaks my heart. He’s obviously a very good boy. He listens to adults and does as he’s told. 

We know he’s a mama’s boy. In the very beginning, we see both a man (could be his father or a male relative) and his mother yelling for him, but Erik’s completely focused on yelling for his mama only. When Charles searches Erik’s memory for the brightest spot, it’s a memory of him with his mother.

The image I have of little Erik is a boy who is very loved, is doted on by his mother, and thanks to this, completely idolizes her. To Erik, his mom is the best person in the world. And Erik tries very hard to be a good boy to make his mother happy. 

In fact, looking at how Erik smiles at Shaw, I feel, if anything, he is a people pleaser. A child who derives happiness from the praise and acceptance of adults. It’s such a radical change from post-Shaw Erik that it’s jarring. 

Young Erik who is so shy and eager to please vs. adult Erik who aggressively doesn’t care a bit about what others think, who goes out of his way to make sure he’s intimidating and making people uncomfortable. 

It makes me think that underneath all that anger and hurt and bluster, Erik’s just a little boy still looking for approval, and that’s one reason he becomes so instantly attached to Charles.
