I have plenty of affection for Professor Charles Xavier, but something about the him always made me unable to adore the character on the visceral level I do others.[...] Not that the character lacks the inherent Xavier qualities I described before, along with an almost naïve youtful optimism, but they're complemented with a playfulness that makes him just as charming as Erik, albeit in a different way, and demonstrates why people live and die by Xavier's dream. This, very much. I've loved Magneto, but I've had a crush on Erik for a while now, so fangirling him doesn't surprise me. How much I loved this fun and flawed version of Xavier, Otoh, was a very nice surprise. ♥
Oh, also so much agreement on what you say about Magneto and all the posturing as defence mechanism ♥
