LOL, I may have gone a bit overboard with the comics references, but I couldn't help it. This movie makes a 13-year-old fangirl in me very happy!
I do like to think that Charles' disappointment at Erik killing isn't so much that he'd really disapprove of Erik for killing the guy (he does basically hold the guy down so he can do it, even when the coin's going through his own head) but sadness at seeing that Erik is always going to believe that's the way to go. (Charles just gets proved wrong all over the place here.) He's not actually powerful enough to undo years of the Holocaust to get Erik to just let it go.
Oh, I agree with you there, and Erik *does* cling to vengeance like woah (there was story about him arranging the murder of an ex-Nazi in comics earlier this year, ffs!), but in this particular case, I don't think how anybody could let this go.
For some reason one of my favorite pieces of fanart for the pairing I've seen is a big shark with a single tear running down its face. On top of the shark is a little mouse petting him with a little mouse paw and saying, "Shhhh."
Heh. I don't suppose you still have the link.
This director quote both delights me and doesn't surprise me one bit.
And yeah, this film really made me wonder about January's acting abilities.
