charles xavier meeting scott summers

people comparing scott and chris and calling them both bad fathers/husbands is so funny like...scott was in manhattan for like a month before he went back to alaska? CHRIS WAS IN SPACE FOR FOURTEEN YEARS. THAT MAN WAS NEVER GONNA COME BACK

Scott was a great father once he realized Sinister’s plot.  It was a matter of getting over the programming of both maddie and sinister, and finally having jean back in his life.  he was a good father, even to the point of sacrificing his son so that he could live a better life than what he could provide after the techno-virus invaded the child’s body. 

people love to pull up scott leaving alaska as him being a bad husband/father while making it clear they never actually read those moments; never read the context, never read maddie’s ultimatum, never read the misunderstanding and tragedy there.

scott’s a perfectly fine husband/father. but he’s also human, very fucked up, and not getting therapy.

This might be the funniest line in the entire script

All I wanted to do was change the world. To see my children grow up to be something other than time-traveling freedom fighters. To see mutants able to use their powers for more than just fighting killer robots.

i gotta say, as someone whose read old mr sinister stuff and like. had the opportunity to talk to mr claremont in real life about the character its so frustrating to see him turned into what is pretty frankly a homophobic stereotype when that just isnt what the character is. he’s a child’s idea of what a supervillain is, he’s a slimy schemey mastermind, he isn’t ~wacky and flamboyant~ and therefore evil 

mr sinister could be a great way to re-delve into villains who are just fun. 

Horrible monstrous villains yes, but villains who aren’t caught up in  ‘oh boo hoo poor me i was sad once’ or ‘i am evil thus superior to all you petty weak feeling lifeforms’, or the recently popular ‘oh they’re just misunderstooooood’ kind of tropes.

mr sinister is the boogeyman. at least in a thematic way. he’s upsetting, unnerving, has creeped on and obsessed over heroes to the point of instilling permanent psychological damage in them (coughcough scottsummers cough), and he’s just so deliciously evil about it. He chews the scenery and should be fun to read and write about. 

The last thing mr sinister should be, though, is a joke.  And that’s what we’ve been getting, sadly.  -__-

Emma Frost slapping people.

There is another.

Remember when Scott told Lee he didn’t want to kiss her so she got mad and left him alone and blind on a strange island and he was like ‘im such a jerk I deserve this’ cause I think about that a lot

- You did all that.

-  It wasn’t a big deal.

- When you were seven.

when you think about all the potential your favourite character had that the writers let go to waste

Reminder that “tard” and all variations of it (“fucktard,” “libtard,” etc) are literally just a “PC” way of calling someone a r*t*rd and I’d really appreciate it if my mutuals stopped putting words like that on my dashboard.

I had to get schooled on this one myself a while back; I’d mistakenly assumed it was meant to evoke “bastard”. But nope!

As ever, we learn better, we do better.

The same is true for the ‘reeeeeee’ noise.

^Important addition

Most of the people who say these things absolutely know what they mean, and choose to say them anyway. On the off chance that someone truly does not know what they mean, here’s your chance to learn and do better.

it’s making fun of meltdowns! its formally called “autistic screeching”, its a stereotype made to mock us and its absolutely offensive 💞💞
