castalieX-Men: First Class was seen - only two days after it was released, too, go us! Oh la la, I loved it! I'll admit to having a soft spot for the XM franchise (I'm talking about the films because I've never read the comics). I always found it very touching; underneath the action flick, beyond the noise and things going boom, it's also the story of people being different and trying to belong in a world set on hating them just because they fear and don't understand them, about people trying to face their differences and accept themselves before others can accept them in return. Of course it'd resonate.
Anyway. I always enjoyed the XM films but XM: First Class is definitely my favourite and I guess the reason is that I was much more invested in the characters. Before, it was more a general thing 'Wolverine rocks and he's so much fun, Storm rocks and she kicks ass' etc. But I really loved Erik and Charles. Both individually and together. Which, omg their relationship was gorgeous! And of course you know it's doomed from the start and it just makes things just that much more fascinating. And sadder. Incidentally, McAvoy and Fassbender have such good chemistry ♥
I could make a list of the scenes between Erik and Charles that I loved best but it'd turn into a list with basically ALL THE SCENES with Erik and Charles, so. Though, wait, I have a question. I didn't imagine the moment when the plane was crashing on the beach, doing somersaults, and Erik covered Charles' body to protect him? Please tell me I didn't make that up? Don't get me wrong, I loved all the characters, they all had something interesting and all had their moments but, yeah, Erik and Charles, guys! So muchtragic love!
When we got back home, the film had put us both in a James McAvoy mood, which is why we proceeded to find more of his films so that we could complete our DVD Collection and I paid a little visit to a certain comm where I downloaded Children of Dune and, well, I'm sorry SPN marathon but we failed you again! It was for the good cause, though. And we'll make it up to you, I promise. Soon!

Like you said, their whole relationship was portrayed in the most gorgeous of ways. God I want fics. (Here's a very neat little drabble I read last night : http://yourreanimator.livejournal.com/11540.html)

Yes, YES! And I guess it really is a scene they could have done without? But they included it and, seriously, it is a moment I'm completely smitten with ♥
Thanks for the link. And did you see, the prompts are slowly but surely filling up at the Kink Meme. HURRAY!
