#no i don't need to know about scars and catholicism in a history lesson. your average catholic isn't doing this

Nightcralwer in the X-men films scars himself 'for every sin' perfectly symmetrically on his body. Like, scarrification is not something your average christian does, why are we acting like this random mutant would do this. The scars are there because they look cool, they could have just been aesthetic mutant markings, it's not like there's any reason mutants look the way they do. If they felt adding texture to Nightcrawlers skin looked good on film, just do it, we don't need some 'he cuts himself for every sin'. Who does that??? The film is like 'yeah, self-harm is normal and cool'....

The rest of his potrayal is pretty normal and it's clear he relies on his faith for guidance the rest of the movie, like a normal person, but then they have to bring in this weird extreme element that would not work if he didn't look like a mutant.

He can't just be a practiciing catholic who looks like a devil, they have to make it so extreme.
