Feeling a bit emotional thinking about how Cherik's story started with Charles saving Erik's life when he thought he was doomed and ended with Erik saving Charles' life when he thought he was doomed

I feel like the biggest flaw of Dark Phoenix is when Erik snaps and decides to kill someone over everyone else's objection. Because of course he is going to. It's kind of his thing. I would be massively OOC for him to go an entire movie without going "sorry, Charles, but I really really really want to kill them and won't let our on again off again friendship stop me," at some point.
However, Jean killing someone who Erik presumably has not interacted with for years, who he himself tried to kill, should not have set him off like that. He should have been a little sad, maybe a little pissed no one invited him to the funeral (because why the hell was he not invited to the funeral?) but also still willing to help a young mutant being hunted by the government.
But some idiots decided to take Magneto, a holocaust survivor, to an internment camp. By train. Why didn't he kill a single person involved with that? Or at an absolute bare minimum have a very sharp "I told you so" for Charles about it? Literally anything to point out that he noticed? Did the writers forget literally everything about Erik's backstory and him as a character?

Do you have any fic recs where Charles is the one killed or injured by Jean in DP instead of Raven? I’ve always felt like that would justify Erik’s reaction better 😭
Hi Anon,
I'm only aware of two stories with that particular premise; hope you enjoy!!!
Stay With Me by bettysofia
The Dark Phoenix AU in which Erik asks Jean "Whose blood is it?" and the answer is Charles'.
This little Tumblr ficlet with Charles being the one hurt by Jean during Dark Phoenix.

it's erik who brings up the remorse he feels about all the wasted years they spent fighting each other and it's erik who goes to a middle of nowhere polish village to live in a forest cottage and it's erik who moves to an island commune to tend to his little garden and it's erik who asks charles to move in with him there, literally all he's ever wanted was to live in peace somewhere quiet but he had to spend his whole life fighting oooooourrgrgrgrrgggrhrgg

Far and away the most charming bit of X-Men movie trivia (for the new continuity) is that, because they were only allowed one "fuck" per film to keep their PG-13 rating, the actors started competing to see who could do the "fuck" that would make it to the final cut.
Like, I'm inclined to assume that Logan's "go fuck yourself" was scripted, and I think Charles' "fuck off" was also scripted in DOFP (except that James forgot his line and nobody in the room realized he'd messed it up, so instead it just looks like Charles is too drunk to insult Logan properly, which is way funnier imo). But I'm pretty sure that Erik's "who the fuck are you?" was adlibbed, and Scott getting the Dark Phoenix f-bomb was definitely adlibbed, because the actors kept bringing up in interviews that competing for the single "fuck" was something they'd done in a previous film and everyone came prepared to fight for it this time around, and that they were so proud that Cyclops beat them for it.

my brother asked me if I’d seen X-Men: Dark Phoenix and immediately triggered an unskippable cutscene I haven’t had the chance to unleash since like 2018. sorry buddy, you’re trapped in here with me now.
