Yeah, I haven't gotten the courage the read the classic X-MEN. I started off reading comics with Clairemont's Uncanny X-Men too. At the time I was reading them in Greek, and when I ran out of editions, I just taught myself English to keep up with the franchise.

Magneto was a lot less extremely evil and Charles was kind of a bastard- which I liked. And they did show some of their previous relationship and Charles before he was in a wheelchair. Moira was around doing a lot of cock-blocking if I recall.

I LOVE those flashbacks into their new romance friendship. And yeah, Moira was definitely around, but the biggest cockblock was Gabrielle Heller (who Charles hooked up with! While she was his patient! Because there was never a time when Charles wasn't a creepy fucker!).
