#i’ll probably post some cherik snippets from the script

[staticfangs]

god i read the unproduced origins: magneto script and i’m so unwell about it i gotta talk about it for a sec because im lowkey fixating over this movie that WASNT EVEN MADE.

i won’t spoil much for those who want to read it themselves (i’ll link it below) but it was written pre-first class so the cherik lore is different but i fuck with it lowkey. erik is like this muscular construction worker trying to make a living for himself and he decides to travel for his nazi manhunt and meets therapist (psychologist?idk really) charles who runs an institution in israel hoping he can help him through his painful memories of the holocaust.

plus there’s literally a part where charles and erik are in this bar and take down some thugs together and run away from the cops holding hands and laughing. like this might as well be called the cherik origins let’s be real.

tbh this script gave me some inspo for a fic because it’s given me so much insight on erik as a character and i feel the need to write this beautiful trope. we were SO ROBBED
