The "there's something when he hears your voice" page is one of my favorite Charles/Erik bits.
Mine too. It just says so much about their dynamic.
The idea that Charles and Magneto have both become irrelevant and the future has chosen neither of them is like you said, both a bit vindicating and a bit sad. Especially when you think about them as young men in First Class, with all the passion, idealism (at least in Charles' case) and potential they had.
I know what you mean. Still, I wouldn't discount them yet, you never know when the editorial mandate might change and they end up in the centre of things again.
The scene with the students is scary/cute. Magneto: terrible dad but fun uncle?
Magneto is totally that uncle who buys teens drinks, entertains them with R-rated stories and teaches them how to inhale tobacco smoke!
I'm a bit worried about the Schism event; I hope it doesn't fracture the interesting and tentative friendship they currently have. But that thought path leads me to more "seriously, why is Scott still the leader, he is terrible in every way and Storm or Dani Moonstar should be leading instead and asdfghjkl;'" ranting and I should stop. XD
Oh, don't even get me *started*. I don't mind Scott as field leader, but I've been finding him insufferable ever since he annointed himself leader of the whole species. And Storm or Dani are great ideas-maybe they can bring Hank back as the science consultant. Or resurrect Kurt and appoint him head of morale (*sobs*).
