Went to see X-Men again, taking my little sister. She is wearing the proverbial Magneto Was Right t-shirt and, if Magneto enslaves the human race, would surrender and volunteer for body-slavery. Direct quote. I think she's been watching too much Spartacus.
A second viewing has made my opinion of January Jones go down. I think it's that she plays (ahem, ahem) Emma as an emotionless ice queen, while Emma is someone who relishes being evil, even when she's good. Also, new headcanon: FirstClass!Emma is Wolverine!Emma's mom? "Did you meet a nice boy? He's not human, is he? I won't have any daughter of mine dating a human! Oh, he can shoot death-rays out of his eyes. That's more like it."
I take it everyone else's headcanon is that Emma is Magneto's rebound after Charles? "Look, Charles, look at my sexy new telepath. She's young and a blonde and she can turn into diamonds. What can you do, Charles? Wheelies? I didn't mean that, Charles. I hate Nazis."
Also, Fassbender gets as many sexy costume changes as Emma. More, even. He's like Barbie. There's Businessman!Magneto (for the Nazi hunter on the go!), casual!Magneto (perfect for lounging around and killing Nazis), SCUBA!Magneto (there are Nazis underwater!), and of course, LeatherJacket!Magneto. For when he rides on his motorcycle. He can escape the memories, but he can't outrun the pain.
But as long as they were doing a Bond pastiche, they really needed to do the Thunderball Swim-Trunks-And-Goggles underwater gear. C'mon, Marvel, think of my sister.
ETA: For a bisexual redhead who can transform into any woman, Mystique gets shot down a lot in this movie. I mean, girl was oh for three. We should take that into account. Yeah, sure, maybe she needed to go to the Dark Side, maybe she needed a nice night out. Just thinking out loud.
