X-Men
Watched X-Men: First Class this evening. I caught a lot of positive reviews from fans and so was expecting a better movie than I found myself sitting through. The plague of bad acting (I'm looking at you, January Jones and Zoe Kravitz), heavy-handed writing (the invention of the code names was pretty lazy writing, fo serious), the weird choices for X-history revision (I was never a fan of the newer Emma Frost, and what was with the whole Mystique/Xavier thing?) and the occasional shoddy CGI aside, it wasn't a bottle of Awesomesauce, but it did make for a fun film experience. And Erik/Xavier? Shyeah, I'm on that boat. No doubt, homies. The guy who played Erik rocked that turtleneck, blazer, and shades look like no one's bidness. Caliente!

I don't usually ship, and I thought the Xavier/Erik thing was really blatant.

That really ticked me off.
Especially since he was getting slashy with Alex.no subject
And why do they get to hide behind "We're being true to the comics!" when they changed so many other things around?
I understand someone had to die in that scene, but did it really have to be the token black guy?
