It was his "coming out" scene, he embraced his choice. And, of course, a major nod to the comic books.
I really don't know what would make people on here happy. If it ain't like the comics, you ****** and moan all day and all night for years; if it is like the comics, you ****** and moan all day and all night for years.
You got Beast, but the look is ripped apart, You got Emma Frost, but the diamond look is ripped apart. God knows how the look of Warren Worthington's Angel and fully-frosted Iceman would be received if we ever did get the Original Five... I can see it now: "the ice look didn't work, why did his clothes turn to ice as well", "the bird wings didn't work, he looked like he was on wires, how does he fit them under his clothes."
Christ on a bike.... It's like a convention of the Never Satisfied Society....
Well, it's not like humanity in general turned on Jews, right? I bet that even in Germany, some Germans refused to be part of the nazi regimen.]
How exactly Xavier owened his life to Erik?SuperSoldier985 said:
It was more the opposite, a one-way friendship, because when Charles needed his help the most, Erik deserted him. And he would do the same later on, when he left Xavier to die in X2. 
I dont see why you care what people think so much? Who cares if people complain. Besides, why come to a thread specified for people to talk about what they didnt like about the film just to counter their opinions.It was his "coming out" scene, he embraced his choice.

It looked as if the bullet landed in a spot that I very much doubt was bulletproofed.
The explanation that I come up with is that the moment was too bad ass for me to really care about minute nitpicking
As I was watching it, for some reason I thought it was because Xavier secretly wanted him dead, and sent Magneto after him for that very reason. He could've sent Mystique to fool him and capture him, but he sent Magneto whom he knew had a vendetta and would kill him. Then he simply tried to talk Magneto out of it, and half-heartedly I thought.The explanation that I come up with is that the moment was too bad ass for me to really care about minute nitpicking
Well of course that's why he wanted Shaw dead. I wasn't implying Xavier just wanted to kill some random nice guy who liked puppies and sunshine. Xavier saw what Shaw was planning, he didn't have many other options.

Magneto will never be proven right. The fact that he believes humanity should just be destroyed and the "better" race take its place aligns him with Shaw and (ironically) the nazis he hated so much.
Xavier is maybe too näive, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe that humans are all 100% good and will accept mutants with open arms. He knows mutants will suffer persucution, even be killed. The difference is that, unlike Erik, he's set to believe there can be some way of both races reaching some kind of understanding.

Very strange friendship, when you think about it. Maybe Xavier was a glutton for punishment, idk...
t:
That's basically what you have to assume, I just wish they would've made some reference to this beforehand.
I dunno, she seemed to be plenty powerful according to Xavier. I assumed the scene was done more for atmosphere. I also assumed perhaps she simply felt escaping was unnecessary and Shaw would come get her when he was ready. Either way, while I liked the line she delivered, I felt breaking the glass was a tad hokey. She could've just said it from inside the room, maybe while they tried to talk to her over a speaker or something.
Unstable molecules.
Havok wasn't. He conveniently had the one power Shaw was immune to. This is somewhat like "why don't they just shoot the Joker?" in that the obvious answer is "well, then that would be the end of the movie".
He didn't imply he shut down his power. My assumption was Magneto did it slowly so Shaw's powers wouldn't protect him. I never completely understood Shaw's powers. Originally the grenade (among other scenes) imply he absorbed "energy" in the form of plasma. Later it seems, as with the bullets and other things, that blunt force doesn't hurt him either. Technically that coin can't hurt him then. I felt like because he moved the coin at a slow, consistent pace, that this caused it to pass through without his powers stopping it. Although as I say, I found Shaw's powers a bit confusing and not really well defined...I didn't really care though, I felt it was just a small plot hole.
As I say, I have this belief that Charles felt like Shaw needed to die, but was unwilling to kill him. Charles seemed to want Erik to change, but if he really felt that Erik was a ticking time bomb he could've wiped his mind. I think he honestly felt sympathy for Erik and quietly understood his desire for revenge and perhaps even thought killing Shaw was a good idea.
Yeah, basically. Strip clubs are not PG-13 businesses, so they come off as a little odd in PG-13 movies. Just the nature of the beast though.
