Yeah but with hair only when Raven gets back to the mansion.
I didn't buy his arc in this film. Charles being reluctant to militarize his kids is an okay angle, but I think the previous film's events were enough to convince him to do it. By the same card, the events of Apocalypse are so random and isolated that I don't see it convinving him if he wasn't there already. It felt like an excuse to give Mystique a valid view that the others could learn from, when I think Xavier should have been there already.
It's not the worst case of prequel-itis ever, not even in the series (Beast has one arc: be blue and cheer up about it for god's sake) but it does urk me a little.
IMO, after DoPF the world finally accepted mutants in some way which was the cause of him not to really considering having a fighting team. His goal was always teaching. I assume he probably seldom using Cerebro so he would not absorb the undercurrent hates much.
By the end of XMA however, he knows that the peace even if it was a false belief is gone. One hand you have normal humans started to be afraid of mutants, humans who have always hated mutants and at the same time tried to utilize stuff from mutants, on the other hand, there might exist unknown powerful mutants like Apocalypse who could threaten the whole world. These are the reason for Charles seriously putting effort training Xmen.
The relationship between mutants and humans is always the theme of X-men, and in Apocalypse such theme was less present because of the DoPF, but by the end of XMA, this theme is back on.
The mall scene had Nightcrawler breakdancing with regular people, so that might've helped. But I think just having Charles secretly awaiting for the arrival of Scott and seeking out Storm would've helped. Or at least acknowledge that their meeting was foretold. Logan straight up tells him to search for Jean, Scott and Storm, and it seems weird that he ignores it. He doesn't have to actively prepare for battle, but just having him conscientiously aware of the possibility and then perhaps be in denial after seeing the world improve in the last decade might've made things a bit clearer. Especially since the film positions Charles as the idealist, Mystique the realist and Erik the extremist.
We already know that. The movie makes it quite clear and that's why we have issue with them.Mutants are more accepted in the world by apocalypse and charles was basically on a mission to encourage acceptance and peace rather then going out to find some kids wolverine told him to get so he could create the X-Men and charles may have wanted his students to have a normal life
after all he is running a school, you teach the kids how to live in society and be good people.
