Yes. That was one thing where I was like "huh??" It almost made it seem like Alex was Scott's dad, which was an odd choice. Then they made the Hellfire Club less of a Freemason behind the scene scheming society and more overt with an actual political agenda. I distinctly remember Sebastian Shaw *not* wanting to get his hands dirty unless forced. Shaw as the big baddie and catalyst of Magneto? Wow.
More fannish wtfery on my part: 1. having feline-like Hank as the original furry mutant. I wasn't a fan of that revamp in the comics either. Was he like that in the 3rd movie (never watched it)?
2. Having Nightcrawler's dad was cool, however I kept expecting him and Mystique to fall into lust. But I suppose that was for the best, because Magneto/Mystique had distinct pedophile vibes.
3. Moira MacTaggert as a US citizen? A G-(wo)man, no less. Uhm, okay.
4. Random axillary characters are random. And sort of pointless. But whatever.

The Wolverine cameo? GOLDEN.
