Dark Phoenix Is Literally Just A Anti-charles Movie Tbh - Tumblr Posts

It would have been interesting if instead of just Charles sucking, they ripped apart the entire main cast;

-Raven is often right about her criticisms of her brother, yes, but she's also unnecessarily antagonistic towards him, rarely giving him affection or respect, which is one of the reasons Charles is so hungry for these two. Also Raven is incredibly hypocritical towards her "Mutant and Proud" self, especially towards her brother.

-Hank, who is fighting his beastly side, is afraid of becoming a threat, is still fighting his enabling tendencies, especially with Raven and Charles, because he's afraid of being abandoned by them. He still can't accept himself because he's afraid of himself, and he won't talk about his problems with Raven because he's afraid of being abandoned by her, again.

-Erik, well something that failed in the movie was to explain how he obtained Genosha, in the comics the island nation used mutants as slave labor, going so far as to have breeding programs, of course the X-Men including Magneto came to the rescue, but then Mags turned off the planet's magnetic fields like in X-Men '97 and demanded the United Nations to give her the island as a nation of mutants, when all the nations of the world did it out of fear, Mags expelled the entire human population. Of course the mutants of Genosha were free and the mutants of the rest of the world had a home where they were not persecuted, but Erik's methods are horrible. They could show the effects of that, a human refugee crisis from Genosha, general panic and an anti-mutant sentiment, that explains why the X-Men accept more and more dangerous missions and Charles is so obsessed with the PR campaign. Erik, instead of being terrified by Jean's powers, wants to use them to protect Genosha, only to see how destructive they are when his son Pietro is almost killed. Then in the middle of his hunt for the Dark Phoenix, he is forced to contemplate how his actions help mutants in the short term but in the long run put them in greater danger or as always hurt innocent people.

-Charles, he is too overprotective with Jean and Scott (He is also his surrogate son), he fears abandonment, he craves love, respect and admiration, and that is partly guiding him; basically he has not overcome his problems he only hides them better until he explodes and gives a speech for the reason that you stink to everyone where he points out that while he has defects, Erik and Raven have many more.

Erik: *paralyzes charles, drops a stadium on him, and tried to kill his sister*

Charles: I forgive you :)

Raven: *constantly ungrateful for charles, invalidates everything he has done for mutants, always argues with him, leaves him bleeding on a beach to go with Erik*

Charles: It's ok none of that was your fault. I forgive you :)

Charles: *constantly offers support and help to all mutants, including the brotherhood. Pushed past his depression and drug addiction to help Raven, spent his time, money, and energy to take care and watch over the children. Saves the world more then once*

Mutants: *Idiolizes a woman for not being evil and killing someone*

Charles: *makes one mistake*

Literally everyone: HOW DARE YOU? You are a villain! You are disgusting you shouldn't be around the children you are harmful! I'm going to erase your legacy from the school you made from YOUR house! You have done NOTHING for mutants

Me: wtf
