I Think It Is Safe To Say That I Will Enjoy This Film

X-Men: First Class trailer here.

You know what's weird? (Apart from the fact that they apparently couldn't find a razor for James McAvoy. SO VERY WRONG. This will not make it any easier for me to get past his failure to be Patrick Stewart.)

In the late nineties when I got online, there was no Xavier/Magneto fic on the entire internet. I know, because I looked really, really hard. Now I watch this trailer and I see a juggernaut of a pairing that is about to crash down on fandom. I wish I had a time machine and could go tell my seventeen-year-old self that some day she would get all the pr0n she could read *g*.

Also: finally, I can make the vid that's been in my head since 2001, that absolutely required flashbacks! Even if it means mixing universes and in the flashbacks Charles has hair. WTF.

Heh. It must be so terrible having a super pretty movie staring your OTP XP

It is awful, but I will just have to put up with it somehow! Sometimes after you 'ship something for seventeen years the rest of fandom finally catches up. (Not that there wasn't fic after the other movies, but if this trailer is representative of the film's content I am expecting a tsunami.)

Is it terrible that having Azazel and Mystique (presumably) having a romance makes me kinda hope for a baby Nightcrawler cameo? Everything is cuter with fuzzy little elves!

I hadn't thought of that, but I bet you're right. I can't think of a reason to put Azazel in the film unless they're planning to bring this up. (Unless the plot desperately needed at teleporter for some reason, I guess.)

The pretty will help a lot with that, the Inception fandom has proved that looking good in suits will produce some really awesome fic. You'd best watch out for fics that are pretty much "Ooo Mr. Lehnsherr" but anything at all is really awesome in small fandoms! *curses her many 2-fics-and-a-dead-comm fandoms*

On the first watch though I had to go and look up the wiki page to make sure they hadn't snuck Nightcrawer in with timeline shenanigans. The teleport effect is so perfectly redone from X-Men 2 I felt like i'd been a inattentive fangirl and missed the casting!

X-Men isn't small so much as dead, but I have a good feeling about this revitalising it. I will certainly take an increase in bad fic in exchange for the good fic! I cannot imagine that a movie where Charles and Erik wear awesome suits while reclinging on a bed at a stip club together will not result in pr0n.

I was completely distracted by other things and didn't even notice the teleporting until I saw other people pointing it out *g*.

Really? Aww. I'd have hoped that having comics still being released would at least keep a bit of momentum up.

Charles and Erik wear awesome suits while reclining on a bed at a strip club together will not result in pr0n.

Heh. I think that just that sentence will make people ship it and then some!

There were other things to be distracted by! I never quite got over Nightcrawler falling off the face of the Earth for X3. T_T
