unpopular opinion about cherik 👀
Hmmm, do you mean opinion about the ship in general or like, unpopular headcanons? :D Not sure if either would fall under the 'unpopular' category, though, I'm pretty bland, I'm afraid!
One thing that comes to mind, though, is that I believe Erik had absolutely no right to lash out at Charles for using the serum in DOFP - and I kind of hate the way they made it look like he was right and like it really was better for Charles to stop using it, even if it meant he couldn't walk. Regardless of his legs, Erik did exactly what he was allegedly fighting against - said that he knew better than Charles how Charles should feel about his powers or how he should use them. And as for his ability to walk, well... he just made it sound like 'yes, I was the reason (however accidental) that you can no longer walk, now deal with it, and oh, by the way, it doesn't matter if you're discriminated against if you're disabled, because when you're not, I'm going to look down at you for losing your powers (which I also wouldn't let you use as freely as you can least you stop me, hence the helmet)'.
I just feel like it was a much more sensitive subject, and realistically I know there simply wasn't enough time to reflect on it in the movie in a different way (probably), but yeah, unpopular opinion, I guess :D
#Charles Xavier#Erik Lehnsherr#cherik#xmen#honestly I think I could rant about it for a long time#I didn't even realize that I had anything to say on the matter yet here we go XD#also here come headcanons: I don't think Charles was addicted to the serum itself#was he an alcoholic? absolutely#but calling the serum a drug? eh#Hank clearly feels differently when using it#it's possible that Charles could do it as well#then again the whole thing about a serum that gives him back his legs at the cost of telepathy is... wild#I'd honestly love to hear/come up with a scientifical explanation for THAT#or did I miss somehow the way his telepathy affected his legs and vice-versa...
