"I always believed I couldn't be the only one in the world."

So far, this is my favourite thing in X-Men: First Class:

Another clip, which I can't embed here because embeds aren't working at the moment.

( Spoilers for the clip, obviously. )

More X-Men Squee

Sorry, this may be a theme for a while *g*. Anyway, a quote I just read:

"I was a fan of the X-Men cartoon growing up as a teenager." - James McAvoy

I cannot convey in words just how happy that makes me. I am tickled pink to know that when I was a brand new fourteen-year-old fangirl, the actor who would one day be playing my favourite mutant was out there watching the show that made me fall in love with Xavier and all his students and friends and enemies. I know we're the same age (to within six months, anyway) but it has never occurred to me that we were introduced to the characters the same way.

And no wonder he's described the film as a love story between Erik and Charles if he has that in the back of his mind! I wonder if he watched any of their epic Savage Land adventures back in the day.
