#okk now you have to watch days of future past

[weaponizedducks]

thanks to your recommendations I watched X-Men first class and @.@ I 100% get the parallels now

granted it's the first X-Men film I've watched (I'm sorry for being so uncultured 😔/j), but I felt like they handled Erik's character weirdly?? he changed so quickly during that final confrontation, it felt inconsistent with the rest of the film

otherwise though? FANTASTIC cinema. really strong direction, good camera shots, also fantastic casting imo

it's literally just erik that my mind is stuck on. maybe I'm drawing him too closely to Dax?? of all people? not even spook or mia or olu? anyway. just wanted to say thanks for the rec!

OMG YAYYY IM SO GLAD U ENJOYED IT. x men is my roman empire rn im actually never getting over it. my history teacher mentioned the cuban missile crisis today and my mind immediately jumped to xmfc. im so cooked

ur so real for getting fixated on erik. that little gay magnet man rotates in my brain 24/7 like a rotisserie chicken. i've never noticed him changing in the confrontation scene, but a fresh perspective always sees new things so im absolutley gonna go back and rewatch with this in mind

i do see the similarities with dax and erik- perhaps dax is an erik who had let go of his anger? erik if he stayed with charles, or met him younger (who would his charles be in this case do we think?)
