#those xmen movies are a mixed bag really

[emotinalsupportturtle]

Whatever you say about the X-men movies I will always respect James Mcavoy's acting choices as professor X

(look, Sir Patrick Stewart will always be iconic and James clearly had big shoes to fill) I just love how he took one look at this wise, powerful and well loved character and said fuck it I’m playing him young so I’m going to do what I want, and he was so right for that

case in point

In First Class Charles was a drunk, egoistic, nerdy and obnoxious yet charming trust fund kid who was not above cheap telepathy tricks to get a date

In DOFP he was a drug addict and a complete asshole, who only gave a shit about where he could get his next hit

In apocalypse I think he just went fuck this, I’m just going to be that hot, DILF English lit teacher who all the nerds and gays imprint and crush on

In dark phoenix (yeah me neither) he was literally said "Charles is a rich, manipulative, power hungry bastard who masquerades as a kind soul"

He also made Charles at least 75% gayer (if that's even possible)
